What would I do? I would put him in stocks and give each surviving member of the murdered womens family a cattle prod and let them have at it. Make him suffer.

I honestly think this is what should happen
The person should be killed in someway of how they killed the other person.
For isntacne if they chopped them up - stick them in a blender adn make it go slow!!
For this person I would let as many people from each vitims family that would want to do it - To go and hit him with a bat everyday...
Hed die in the worst painful way

I think you should lock him up for good in a solitary room, he's done. However, the confession of "killing 48" people is something what he said to prevent from getting the death penalty, what that means is, it just basically closes the case on those 48 victims. Did he actually murder all of them? I have my doubts, one killing is plenty to put him for life in prison.
Why do some people say things like what have been said (uptop) Don't you hear enough killings (or see) and why would you want to condone or participate in murdering someone? what i mean by participate is, when a state sends someone in the death penalty, the state involves itself in a murderous act just like the "muderer" Do you want to be labeled as a "murderer?", probably not and you probably have a clear conscious about the whole thing and will sleep well. Those type of crime punishment reminds me of the dark ages when they beheaded the "convicted", infact those weren't the thing of the past the Arab nation still beheads it's convicted criminals and other nation like the U.S and many others use other means of exicuting the "convicted" criminals.
Don't you people have enough killings going on.
Start by educating the young at the first sign of what maybe a bad up bringings so that if he (or she) grows up to be an adult he can then be productive citizen.
The damage is done folks. A killer has just killed, how do you find it justifiable by killing the kill-e, i really don't see you logic in that.

'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind' - mahatma ghandi.
While it is quite horrendous what he has done, shouldn't we try to learn something from him, try to find out what makes him tick, what life experiences combined with other factors (perhaps genetics, brain chemistry etc.etc.) lead him to do such a thing to gain some understanding of it, and think about ways that it can be prevented from happening again in the future.
To me it seems that should be the way to go about it rather than vindictiveness and blind fury as that's going to achieve nothing in the long run except the fulfilment of our own base desire for revenge. If this is in the U.S. then presumably he will get the death penalty, but that didn't stop him doing it did it?
Having said that, and while I agree with phisholay if he'd done that to someone in my family I would probably want to do exactly what you're suggesting (and then some). But deep down inside I know it would be wrong.

(Dammit EthicalEpi you beat me)
A Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. It didn't work 1000's of years ago, It wont work now. Their is no fate worse than what he did to them people. I say put him in a high security prison and let bubby take it from there.

"We must become the change we want to see"- Mahatma Gandhi
We so hastily blame a killer but what are we doing to stop it ? Almost every second movie has violence, rape and killing. Politicians themsleves are involved in crimes of worse nature. They are the lawmakers but dont hesitate to wage a war for profit killing thousands of innocent people. Judges and Policemen all over the world are corrupt without whose support professional criminals cannot easily exist.
Just a few days back in my city a police officer set up explosives in govt. buildings. Ofcourse he never meant to explode them but his frustration was so much after being harassed by politicians he resorted to this extreme measure. It is reported he was a fifth ranker in the cops selection exams, he is also a genetic enginneer and had volunteered for earthquake rescue. His trial is now in the courts. Is he a criminal or a hero ? In his home town he is becoming a cult hero while the politicians are hastily accusing him of connections with terrorist groups.
Finally research has proven excution of murder convicts does not deter more such crimes. Only preventive police action can alone prevent crimes not punishment. Dont believe it ? Just imagine a kitchen knife in your hands and imagine stabbing the next person to come across you. It is that easy really.

They should have killed him.
http://www.kirotv.com/news/2612734/detail.html
Kiro 7 has been following this animal's trial for a long time. In 6 months he should be sentenced to 48 consecutive life terms - free food and a roof over his head for life - more than some of the girls he killed could claim to, all at WA tax payers expense.
What's to learn? He's nothing more than vermin with an excuse who slipped the 'hangman' with a plea bargain.

"I hate most prostitutes and I did not want to pay them for sex," he said. "I also picked prostitutes as victims because they were easy to pick up without being noticed. I knew they would not be reported missing right away and might never be reported missing. I picked prostitutes because I thought I could kill as many of them as I wanted without getting caught."

In many cases, the killer had sex with his victim and then strangled her.

I say they should just put a bullet in his head and dump him somewhere for the animals to pick over.

Perhaps it might be useful to learn what lead him to that point of view, and what motivated him to commit such terrible crimes so that something can be done to prevent it happening again in the future.
imho he shouldn't just be thrown in a high security prison and forgotten about either. There's as little to gain from that as there is from killing him.
He should be put in a facility where he can be studied and analysed for the rest of his natural life so they can try to find out what lead him to do that and that information put into a wider context and considered alongside the studies on others who have commited similarly motivated crimes.
The 'oh..he's just evil lets kill him' attitude is a cop out imho and will do nothing to prevent this happening again.

It'll prevent him doing it again. These guys are animals and should be treated as any dangerous animal within society - removal, pure and simple.
His 'point of view' is recorded as 'wanting to clean up the streets'. I doubt very much there's any deep philosophical dogma behind him, being little more than a predator who had sex with women, then choked them to death before dumping their bodys.

At least he will spend the rest of his life away from society, where he cannot kill anymore women. I have other very strong feelings about this pathetic animal, but at least he'll spend the rest of his natural life in jail.
