While I understand the point of people who are against capital punishment, I see no other alternative.

It's not like people are being executed for trivial things - this guy took it upon himself to remove people from this existence. IMO, he lost all of his rights as a citizen at that point. I see no probs with executing him on the spot. Case closed, sentenced handed... bullet in the brain. Save the time and money.

People might argue, "What right does anyone have to take HIS life?" Well, either way, he's in prison for life. His life is already over except for the fact he's still conscious. Why keep such a being alive?

Of course, there are people in prison for life for other less important crimes (such as drug smuggling), but that argument of "exessive sentencing" is for another thread.
