Regarding Dorner and the support of capital punishment [View all]

I take the position that Dorner should have been taken alive, if possible, and put on trial. Maybe it wasn't possible to take him alive, I don't know, but given the fact that the LAPD shot up two cars and wounded innocent people is a good indication that they weren't interested in bringing him in alive.

If he had been taken alive would you be calling for his execution by the state? If not, why are some here expressing the opinion that the cops were right to burn the cabin down and kill him?

I'm wondering how many people who are glad Dorner was killed by the cops also support capital punishment.
