Who cares if they are hailed a hero in their own ranks? In the USA there are too many appeals( which is just a name for the criminal trying to avoid the death penalty) and this demonstrates that death is something that none of them want
I would hope that the UK would make sure that their death took place quickly, because in these cases their is no question of whether they are guilty or not.
If we keep filling prisons with murderers, we don't have the space that the USA have so we will be pressured to release them, to kill again!
I find it hard to believe that anybody thinks it would be wiser to keep them in prison, because eventually they will find a way to kill the prison guards & maybe escape.
We are all too used to having prisons that keep criminals under control &, if these killers have no respect for their own lives, they are unlikely to have respect for the guards who are keeping them under control.
If the police hadn't shot this terrorist ( in effect a death penalty without trial) he could have killed others.
Why are we so scared of the criticism, that may occur, just because we kill somebody who is known to have killed an innocent person?
