Robert Bowers, the gunman who killed 11 worshippers and wounded six others at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018 in the deadliest-ever attack on Jewish people in the United States, was unanimously sentenced to death by a federal jury on Wednesday.

    There was a bit of an ethics issue a few years ago about this among engineers. The guy who designed and serviced nearly all the execution machines in the US died and he had a PE.

    Supposed to protect the public. Are prisoners part of the public? No? Ok guess jails can just collapse in that case. Yes? Ok why are we allowing our ranks to help kill them?

    Ultimately nothing changed because PE boards protect their own.
