It’s doesn’t matter what anyone thinks of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), when he’s right, he’s right. And when it comes to the consequences being faced by Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass murderer Nikolas Cruz — in my opinion, as well as DeSantis’ — the punishment did NOT fit the crimes.

Cruz was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Following the sentencing, DeSantis spoke at a press conference about the repercussions handed down.

“I just want to say one thing about this verdict about the Parkland killer," DeSantis said. “I think that if you have a death penalty at all, that that is a case where you're massacring those students with premeditation and utter disregard for basic humanity, that you deserve the death penalty.”

But DeSantis spoke further about how broken our justice system currently is, and not in a way where idiots call for a defunding of the system rather than simply pushing for the system to enforce the laws already on the books.

“I’m also disappointed that we’re four-and-a-half years after these killings and we’re just now getting this?” DeSantis said in justifiable disgust. “You know, they used to do this, he would’ve been executed in six months. He’s guilty. Everybody knew that from the beginning, and yet it takes years and years in this legal system that is not serving the interest of victims.”

There’s not much else to say. Amen.
