Well, that's the big swamp, isn't it!? It's where all the big disputes are. Don't know how you get around that.

I'd put him to work at a VA hospital working with amputees for the rest of his life. Let him see first hand the type of person he was trying to kill maim and force him to help them and learn how wrong he truly was.



I like this.


I personally don't know how this will make him learn that what he did was wrong. Do you honestly think that having to see a munch of maimed/wounded service members from conflicts in ME will somehow make him realize how his deeds were inhumane and wrong when he didn't show remorse for killing and wounding innocent civilians? I mean the whole motive behind the attack in the first place was to payback the U.S. for its role in the conflicts against Muslims as he perceived them.

Having him work at a VA hospital will be like giving him his jihad porn each and every day. I'm sure he has nothing but contempt for those recuperating at any VA hospitals and will relish his daily views of the suffering.
I think the punishment is fitting.

You take away someone's life, everything they have and will ever have, you should forfeit the same. In a case like this, I believe in the punishment for punishment's sake. He had his due process, which is a hell of a lot more than he afforded his victims. Now let him pay with his life.

Certain types of criminals enjoy a level of celebrity behind bars. I don't think Dzoey will qualify. I would actually love to see him spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder wondering which one of his fellow inmates was going to shiv him in the kidneys.

A death sentence will allow him to spend 10-15 in relative security and comfort, perhaps much longer than he would last in the general population. Think Jeffery Dahmer.

He could opt for protective custody but I beleive many who select that option change their minds fairly quickly for whatever reasons (mostly sheer boredom).
