Well, no one says that. That would be stupid and wrong. The thing is that I at least am not arguing about this case, but about the death penalty in general. In such cases, where it is certain who the murderer is, and especially when he's proud of it, there's probably no other way out.
Here, the death penalty is not an option: the constitution doesn't allow it. But we also don't have this sort of terrorism: if you look at what the RAF (meaning not the Royal Air Force, but the terroristic organization) did in their time, I think you'll find far less victims than this one bomb caused, though I might be wrong. There's been no discussion about death penalty for them, maybe partially because several of them suicided in their cells.

Now he's dead, people should stop talking about him. He's simply not worth all the bother, and forgetting about him does not imply a danger of something like this happening again, because if it does, it's always because the person responsible is in some way or other insane, and they won't care about anybody else.
As I said above, if in such cases the majority of those concerned feels justice isn't done otherwise, then it should be done, but quietly, without any amount of media presence all over the place. The reason: The man has killed 168 people. And now he is, or was, getting attention from everybody. He isn't worth that.
