Thoughts on the Death Penalty

[Boris Norris]

The rioters in Charlottesville clashed and one man trying to leave the scene ran over a leftist pedestrian trying to stop him. Democrats claim that nobody on either side there was a good person. I don't agree with that stupid leftist assumption.

Absolute bullshit. You know quite well what happened. You're a nutter.

Time to get this rock rollin', again....

Say you've got a man who rapes and murders 6 young girls, DNA evidence says he did, he says he did it, a jury says he did it. In other words, there is absolutely no doubt, in fact this guy is proud of what he has done and laughs about it.
.
Are you telling me he has "an inalienable right" to live?

.
You'd (still) consider that person to be normal?
This could get interesting....when you try to balance 2007, with years of actual experience....and, at least a modicum of maturity, to show for it.

[Phoenix68]

No. That is one of the primary reasons I oppose it.
.
Anyone who is adamantly for the death penalty should watch the documentary After Innocence - a film about several innocent people who were convicted of horrible crimes that they were eventually cleared of.

Note YEARS BETWEEN....conviction and final-outcome.

What is frightening is that once a person is dead - there is little incentive (or money) to try and clear his name. So how given how many are being exonerated based on new techniques - how many innocent people have been killed?

.
Probably Innocent / Executed

For me, I would not consider it at all a "Divine Right to Revenge" It is about recognizing what their actions did and the pain caused and the lives ruined and the punishment for that is forfeiting ones own life. Its not revenge, it certainly doesn't have any divinity, it is punishment.

.
It must be exceptionally-convenient, living life with such unquestionable-certainty!

"Many people still want to believe that people are born evil; or that evilness afflicts a person out of nowhere; or that some innate evilness makes a human being kill."

.​

 

[Phoenix68]

Death serves as a rather considerable deterrent when you have scores of people being executed every day.

.

.
Yeah....that's what it's been....century after century of deterrence.
.​

 

[Phoenix68]

The bar for determining that a person should be given the death penalty has to be set so high that mistakes are virtually nonexistent.....

.
So...what...you're shooting for executing AT LEAST 10-15% of all convicted???
What's your ideal / targeted percentage?
.​

 

[Phoenix68]

.​

I wouldn't be opposed to that.
.
And another thing to vyo, it's impossibly to really know what the most humane form of execution is because we can't really take exit polls.

.​

We could always half kill them, ask them how it feels, then multiply the result by two.
.
I think it's a testament to how burned out I am that I'm suggesting that.

.
It could be worse. You could be a jarhead.

[Phoenix68]

The state is not in the business of peddling revenge.

.
We shouldn't be in the business of exterminating mentally-ill people, either.
.
I'm fairly-certain we were against that, when GERMANY was doing it.

Lefties don't mind terminating old or young people like Terri Schiavo they consider drains on society.
