The United States is one of the last Christian, civilized, Western nations to still allow state-sanctioned murder.

It is sort of a crude and brutal practice for a Christian nation.

I agree with you but there are very few of us here.

It's not murder, it's justice. To say that a murder can take someone's life but they still get to keep theirs is unjust to me.

It's exactly the practice for a Christian nation. IMO, of course.

The barbarity does not bother me, and I believe in an eye for an eye retribution. That said and at the risk of being flamed, my hesitancy over supporting the death penalty is
what if the jury was wrong and the condemned is truly innocent ? Too may potential Nifing’s out there as prosecuters.

It's not murder, it's a permanently deterring solution for the crime of capital murder.

There's a post today about a 78 year-old murderer that served twenty years for killing wife #1 and wife #2.

Guess what? He killed wife #3, and accidentally himself, when he tried to use arson to cover the killings (I think he killed another person)

There was one last week. Convicted murderer gets released, only to kill again.

Go back to sleep dear.
