With the exception of repeat pedophiles.

The last person executed in this state was in 1999. The death penalty in PA is just a life-sentence with expensive appeals to virtue signal from the DA to Police that he is "on their side".

> he never saw any combat.

So while I agree that maybe the term PTSD is maybe overused, just because he hasn't seen combat doesn't mean he didn't have it. The way it is presented in the article and criminal complaint may imply that his PTSD is from military service, but who knows.

Edit : That it is in the criminal complaint makes it seem to me that it's a legitimate confirmed diagnosis. Not a "someone cut in front of me at Sizzler and now I have PTSD" kind of situation.

But is death really the answer here for this particular instance?

Killing someone in a premeditated murder is one thing. Killing someone while you’re going through a mental health episode is another. At least- I can see the distinction and think it should be vastly different repercussions.

I can't help you out with a recommendation, but I feel compelled to say that you are not going to find a moving service to move you from Pittsburgh to Johnstown for 100 dollars or less. I would be shocked if you can find one for less than 500 dollars.

The time to help him was before he killed someone. Either way, he was still responsible for his actions.

Learn something new everyday ! Thanks

And…..

He’s a man with severe mental health problems. ‘veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder’.

Instead of focusing on helping PTSD and mental health sufferers, we’d rather seek the death penalty? That’s beyond backwards.

The failure of the system is that nobody picked up Morris sooner. He's been making shooting threats (and very credible ones) for weeks leading up to the incident.

But, him being a Veteran has nothing to do with anything. He was stationed in North Carolina for a bit, he never saw any combat.

Cool cool. So we’re just going after our veterans with mental health issues now?

I realize that this is nothing new and our veterans already don’t receive the amount of support they should be

not unless you get someone to drive it for you, i guess, no. if you have a friend who drives who would be willing to help you out, it is probably the most cost-effective option, though.

Abolish the death penalty.

Yeah, always sucks to see a cool old power station bite the dust. Sure would’ve been a cool museum but i imagine it would’ve been hard to really convert into any sort of museum.

It was an older, smaller coal fired power plant, only producing 568MW. The plant was decommissioned in 2011, demolition began in 2015 and was completed in 2016.

There's one in Brighton Heights

Since Johnstown is not super far, I would recommend renting a uhaul truck yourself, since prices are pretty fair and the trucks are good quality and easy to drive, either asking family or friends for the load/unload. Or, checking on the uhaul site for just movers for the loading portions if you decide to drive yourself https://www.uhaul.com/MovingHelp/Pittsburgh-PA/1/Results/ Also, I’ve had friends use Two Men and a Truck and had a great experience though I’m not sure how far they travel to outside the city so you might need to call.

Just... Movers.

It's a shame they did all that work to tear out the power plant and then it doesn't get used for anything.

Oh, ok. Makes sense!

The Mounds in Monongahela was supposedly the second largest Native American burial site in the Eastern US.
