Cleveland cops on Sunday were hunting a man who they believe shot and killed another person in a horrifying, Easter afternoon attack – that was brazenly broadcast live on Facebook.

'Ya know, I have always been an outspoken critic of the death penalty, which I am against for multiple reasons. But in cases like this, where the killer randomly targeted an innocent old man, part of me would like to see a sentence of "Death by slow torture". This punk is breathing oxygen which he doesn't deserve to have.

When it is a cut and dry case, where the perp is 100% the right person. I have no issue with the death penalty.

I also believe the appeal process needs to be changed. No use having the person once caught and proven guilty stay on death row for 10-20 years.
 
That poor man. I hope they catch his murderer soon before he kills more people.
 
Mighty man, this guy, picking a 74-year old as his victim.
 
They are still searching for this POS. A clip of the video was on the news and it's truly unbelievable to me how some people can kill someone like that. Without a thought or care. Has no value for human life. Something is missing in this guys brain. I hope they get him soon.

This is exactly why I am pro death penalty. This scumbag claims to have killed 13 people. He has forfeited his right to live.

Investigators say Steve Stephens murdered 74-year-old Robert Goodwin Sr. at around 2 p.m. local time.

Geezus. He kills a 74 year old man?:( What a sick son of a bitch. Anyone who does this to the weaker people (elderly, children, disabled) deserves no mercy. Catch him and then remove him from society permanently.

He shot and killed the man while recording it on Facebook, for the whole world to see. Absolutely sickening.

He's claiming his killed 13 more people, but there isn't any evidence that he's killed anyone else s9 far.
 
He picked this father of nine at random. So senseless. Some sort of relationship problem allegedly caused him to "snap."

Well if it makes you feel any better, with how callous this guy was and penchant for violence, chances are he won't be taken in alive by police when they finally corner him.

Chances are he already ate a bullet.
 
I read that he wants to die. If that is so, why take innocent people with him?

Quite often these psychos are, in their own heads, recovering some "power" they believe was taken from them. Killing others seems to be a punishment to mankind for the taking of that "power".

He caused himself to snap. We all go through hard times in our lives, and we roll with them if and when they happen. We are also responsible for the acts we commit in life. I'm sorry, but I don't feel sorry for this animal.

Liveleak had the full video it's... pure evil. I can't even begin to describe how angry it made me.

It it is deliberate harm to the collective as payback for what they view as the collectives harm of them.

It is retribution not justice.

Oh, I wasn't apologizing for him.

Check out today's "Blondie" comic strip--Alex is posting an embarrassing goof of his on social media and exclaiming about how many "likes" he's already received. Dagwood wonders why he'd post something so embarrassing about himself, and the kids responds, "But dad--I already have [however many "likes"--I forget]!!"
 
The murderer wanted attention or he wouldn't have posted it on Facebook. I can't help but wonder if he would've murdered that man if he didn't want his girlfriend to see it.

I'm not advocating it's demise...but more and more, it seems that social media is being used to manipulate and get revenge.
