Fitting end for human trash. Too bad he didn't think of it sooner

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

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

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.
