Robert Bowers, the gunman who killed 11 worshippers and wounded six others at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018 in the deadliest-ever attack on Jewish people in the United States, was unanimously sentenced to death by a federal jury on Wednesday.

    When ANY killing is acceptable, murder becomes slightly less reprehensible to a society.

    If the state kills someone through the courts because they deserve the death penalty, then when a murderer feels a person deserves it, they can justify, in their minds, the killing of a person.

    Again, any killing of a human should be the ultimate taboo. That’s the way to decrease murder in a society.
