For one thing think of the costs involved. Because of the
US byzantine appeals system, it now costs more to ice a cold
blooded killer than the keep him locked up for life, even if
he is 22 years old.

For another thing, it would be very helpful for profilers,
forensic psychiatrists, security specialists, etc. to have a
real live captive shooter to observe and talk to, even if he
is just another "bad ass looser," was on bad dope or has
some sort of a brain tumor. "Long-haired pot smoking hippy"
is not much more to build a
preventative/predictave/protective program on than "ban all
guns."

What fascinates me...is that given the numbers of legally armed citizens
in Aridzona..no one simply shot the *******.

Not the appropriate response given the situation. Reports have it that
one of the people who tackled the perp was indeed carrying and
determined that tackling the perp was the best response. From what I've
heard, that was the correct decision given the perp was in the middle of
a crowd.
They guy who sat on him said if he'd given any trouble he'd have shot
him, but he figured he was worth more to the cops alive than dead.
