I was just pointing out the cunning and intellect of Ted Bundy and how he was someone that was truly deserving of the death penalty. He was a remorseless and brutal serial killer who raped and tortured his victims before killing them. He kept their dead bodies and would return to have sex with them until they were too decomposed. He also decapitated some and kept their heads as trophies. By Florida law he was executed. Bundy was a psychopathic killer who showed no remorse or pity for his victims. Dylan Roof walked into a church with the intention of killing black people. They were having a prayer meeting and they showed him nothing but love and acceptance and he murdered them without remorse. Because he murdered those people, the state will lawfully put him to death. You can object all you want. A cold blooded and remorseless murderer can lawfully be put to death in 38 states here in this country.
Ted expressed remorse later on. Or at least pretended to, but how can we know for sure if he was or not? While he was still alive on death row he actually helped detectives understand the mind of a serial killer for the sake of identifying/capturing more of them in the future. He would have done much more good to us alive in max security than dead. We can study these people and learn from them. They can help us find warning signs in other people who are or are on the verge of becoming serial killers.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
