You’re thinking wrongly again.
It is *FAR* better to apply the Death penalty for this murder than to “lock them up for life.”
What the anti-capital-punishment crowd fails to realize is how dehumanizing it is to cage someone up like an animal disproportionate to the crime’s severity. There are *MANY* cases where I’d rather get corporal punishment [that is, physical] and have it over with than the long and protracted “standard” punishment.
Furthermore, the “Felon” tag is a horrible miscarriage of justice nowadays. What people call “felon” would more correctly be called “ex-felon” because they served their sentence. As far as the law is concerned this should “wipe the slate clean,” but in today’s world of jurisprudence it does not and you (meaning anyone who has ever been tagged a ‘felon’) will never again be able to own a firearm or vote.
I don't think this shooting merits the death penalty.
I agree with your synopsis of "felon" vs. "ex-felon."
Entire post +1.
Good to see you shark. Jail has proven that it is worthless in obtaining nearly EVERY purpose of the CJ system. It shouldn’t even be considered “ex-felon” because with a clean slate, there should be no record. I personally know a few felons, and depending on the stupidity of state/fed laws, and the overzealousness of prosecutors, even those who think they have clean sheets will come out dirty at some point.
Additionally, we’ll all be felons due to one law or another soon, which is the aim of this near dictatorship we live in. The corruption of LVMPD is rank, and it’s not confined to Vegas. This problem is systemic.
There should be NO, ZERO, city law enforcement officers. They should all be under the umbrella of the county sheriff, and there should be zero unions either. When three states have already made it a felony to record/video officers who are on duty, you know the full blown police state (far worse than a military state, I assure you) is nearly upon us. Wake up people, this Administration is getting, one way or another, essentially all of the goals it’s been reaching for, even if we only find our months and years later, like the increase in IRS officers (due to Obamacare), and arming them.
Watch what the other hand is doing, because these acts are going to increase exponentially. Mark my words.
