What is a justified consequence for someone that killed people just going about their normal lives? Do the families impacted by this tragedy have any input?

It's not good to report the number of deaths in headlines without humanizing the victims in some way. It's better to list each individual name in the article itself.

This dude probably thought he was setting a number score that would put him in the spotlight, but he didn't realize he's just another tally for the Executioner.

Give him a job, make him work, and send the proceeds to the families of the victims. At least he will be somewhat useful then.

What if he kills again? How can one person pay enough for 10 lives?
