Thank you.
Now, if only headline writers could become familiar with the Oxford comma. That would be a real treat.

He was shown more mercy than he gave to his victims:
Police say that early that morning, Miller entered Ferguson Enterprises and fatally shot two co-workers: Holdbrooks, 32, and Yancy, 28. He then drove 5 miles (8 kilometers) away to Post Airgas, where he had previously worked, and shot Jarvis, 39. Trial testimony indicated that Miller was paranoid and believed his co-workers had been gossiping about him.“You’ve been spreading rumors about me,” a witness described Miller as saying before he opened fire. All three men were shot multiple times.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement. “His acts were not that of insanity, but pure evil. Three families were forever changed by his heinous crimes, and I pray that they can find comfort all these years later.”

"nitrogen gas execution"
Sounds complicated. Better to keep it simple using a rope and gravity.... or if the state has some very high buildings or cliffs, just gravity.

Life imprisonment without parole would be better. The catholics are consistent on this.
Perhaps Trump as POTUS should go in this direction.
Too many lifers are set free for too many reasons. That’s the problem. The guy in El Salvador is doing the right thing. 40k MS-13’s now know what it is to live in a country that’s through with them.

Maybe, but it poses no danger to bystanders.
I favor the Firing Squad.

For the migrants, the law should be Judge Dredd (2012) style.
