National NAACP President calls for (CT) death penalty repeal
WFSB ^

Posted on 03/29/2012 1:52:59 PM PDT by matt04

The president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is visiting Connecticut's state Capitol to discuss the state's death penalty repeal effort with lawmakers, local leaders and Gov. Dannel Malloy.

NAACP President Ben Jealous was originally scheduled to meet with lawmakers on Tuesday, but his visit was pushed to Thursday.

Last week, the Judiciary Committee voted in favor of the death penalty repeal. Now, the bill awaits further legislative action in the state's Senate.

The repeal effort being considered by the General Assembly would abolish the death penalty for all future cases and replace the punishment with life imprisonment.

The Connecticut chapter of the NAACP has been working throughout the session to push for death penalty repeal.

As long as the death row inmates can live with NAACP members who will have to do what they say we should do, call 911 and wait.

Elections have consequences. Supreme Court nominees, death penalty status and so much more.

This goes along with my contention that the reason Eric Holder’s people heart gun control is because they consider violent crime to be a legitimate career path, and armed victims to be an OSHA violation.

Even though I am on the “DO NOT CALL LIST(?)” I have been receiving Robo calls from NAACP and other groups, pushing the agenda for rallies in Sanford, Saturday.
They are saying all the Reverends and their parties are coming. They invited me and all my little friends to join in. I really don’t think they really want me or my little friends at their rally.
I’ll be hunkering down 10 miles away!

I would love for any liberal to explain to me something I saw on MSNBC(Prison Videos)!
Many interviews with the same theme,: a man in prison for life w/o parole for killing one or members of his own or an unrelated family. On even ate parts of a body. That same person admits that while in prison he killed another inmate or a prison Guard. Some of these interviewees will readily admit they will probably do it again. Many prisoners interviewed said the same things.
I cannot fathom the mind of liberals that can abort a baby but cannot recognize that “Some people just need killing”(Clint Eastwood).
My own idea would be to put them in a prison with no guards and reduce the food rations everyday until the prison was vacant.
I stole that idea from a laboratory experiment with rats(not DEMONRATS).

NO...no...no...no!

Not until these two evil pieces of chit are put to death—Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky. If anyone ever deserved the death penalty, these two do!!!
