  1. I would rather get the death penalty than life without parole.

  2. We’re 2024 thank goodness my mum a dad show me respect for others no matter what why we keep doing things we’re all human no matter what

  3. The Irony that ny has always been against the death penalty because its "not our choice to decide" but here comes along a right wing extremist and in a instant they not only see it as viable option but a necessity.

  4. If he had been black would they be pushing for the death penalty?

    Subway shooter Frank James planned and carried out a racially motivated attack on 4/12/22. He hurled 2 smoke bombs and fired his Glock 17- 9mm hand gun 32 times wounding 29 people. No one was killed, probably because the smoke bombs hindered his eyesight. He was sentenced to life in prison.

    It’s hypocritical to seek the death penalty for Gendron but not James.

  5. He won't be racist for long with a nice black boyfriend in prison.

  6. Life imprisonment without parole is (in my opinion) better than the death penalty. It is a lot less expensive and it brings finality to a case that 20-40 years of appeals and reversals cannot. I deplore this person and his ideology, but I proudly oppose capital punishment. Even for him. As it is, he already has life sentences on state murder charges in New York. Despite my opposition to what the State Department wants to do, I do still think he should be given additional life sentences on federal hate crimes and needs to be held accountable for that.

  7. Where is the🐷family?

  8. White Christian male strikes again! 😂

  9. 😂😂😂 ma boy think he had privilege. Now you getting judge by the same people you hate

  10. After martin Luther King jr's death on 4-4-68, this racist is still not stopping but until the rapture comes it will be over and gone.

  11. Fox programming did a good job!😢

  12. He bought the ar-15 at 18 legally but have to be 21 to buy beer

  13. Agree with the sentence, but funny how the hypocrites who usually don't support it on moral grounds are now calling for it. Many in the Government and Justice department!

  14. The feds want him dead as so they dont get exposed to the light for using this kid as their manchurian canadiate same as the vegas shooter these tragedies are the puppet strings the puppeteers our government uses tragic events to pass laws and control the mainstream perception of our sick society

  15. Life in prison is more punishment than death. My condolences to all the families.

  16. (Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy, he who has ears to hear let him hear, and blessed is he who understands.)

    “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.

    “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

    “All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 8 to 10.

    “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

    “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

    “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4, verse 17.

    “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.”

    Hosea, chapter 6, verse 2.

    “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    “knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

    “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

    “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.
