Robert Card, the suspect wanted in connection with Wednesday's deadly mass shootings at two businesses in Lewiston, Maine, was found dead on Friday night.
Fitting end for human trash. Too bad he didn’t think of it sooner
Not really a fitting end, he escapes any long term consequences of his actions. Unlike families of his victims.
Society needed him to have his day in court and for him to be put away for the rest of his life, acting as a soap dish for whoever… Dead he gets away nearly free of consequences.
For sure. What I like to ask people who (very understandably) seek harsh or cruel punishment in these cases is “Will it help? Or will it just make you feel better and produce a better criminal?”
I wonder, what is the right path for people like this in a just society? Rehab and let them back in society? Lifelong imprisonment somewhere nicer than federal prison? Ideally, in a fantasy world, the former. But I guess latter would the most realistic choice
Except there is an ever growing alt right presence in our country that supports this kind of shit, and his actions probably emboldened the next right wing nutjob shooter

There are no consequences in our laws that actually fit crimes like this. Retributive justice is a farce and an insult to humanity.

Mental institution until they are stable.
I don’t know why he was released after just two weeks when he was committed before. Someone fucked up.
Eh, dead is dead we don’t need to worry about him ever doing it again or spreading his sick views in the media.
The echo chambers that built his views still exist, and are at this moment busy grooming the next person who will follow in his footsteps.
Yes and that’s a separate issue to tackle. Him being in prison instead of dead wouldn’t change that.
