Hanging confirmed for the Japanese Guru

Does he go in the list with Osama or the innocents punished for something they didn't do?

Japan says he is with Osama.

"TOKYO (Reuters) - A former Japanese cult guru accused of masterminding a 1995 gas attack on the Tokyo subway that killed 12 people and sickened thousands faced a death sentence today at the end of an eight-year-long trial."

"Shoko Asahara, 48, the former guru of the Aum Shinri Kyo (Supreme Truth Sect), faces another 12 charges including multiple murders and has been called the "most heinous criminal" by prosecutors, who have demanded death by hanging."

"The nearly blind guru predicted that the United States would attack Japan and turn it into a nuclear wasteland.
He also claimed to have travelled forward in time to 2006 and talked to people then about what World War Three had been like."

Looks to me like he deserves to be in a mental institution. Any comments?

He should be dead. No doubt about it.

Though everyone deserves life. His physical life should be taken away from him to stop causing anguish amonst the living.
