These liberal a##es excuse against the death penalty is it doesn’t deter crime, it is a form of punishment for the crime. If it does deter just one crime its good if not it is your punishment period. Can we fast track these crimes so the death row inmate is not sitting on death row for his life time waiting to die, lets get it over with and move on to the next

They should use cobra venom and hand out popcorn, pigs knuckles, buffalo wings and beer to spectators over the couple of hours the venom takes to work.

Perhaps. But the recidivism rate is zero.

Fentanol. Enough said. It is the no cost solution. A gram of it when a milligram is an od. Problem solved. Just use seized fentanol.

Or how about putting their head under a concrete truck tire with a full load and slowly drive forward? The possibilities are endless.

Why does the left hate execution of criminals but loves doctors killing old people and calling it “euthanasia”?

There are murderers in prison who continue to kill guards and prisoners. If they’d been executed, these deaths would’ve been prevented.

Life in prison doesn’t stop a man from killing.

Why does the left hate execution of criminals but loves doctors killing babies born alive that survive abortion calling it palative “care”?

These liberal a##es excuse against the death penalty is it doesn’t deter crime

It is not intended as a deterrent. It is an act of justice, a balancing of the scales. While there may be a MORAL argument against it, there is no RATIONAL one.

1. The death penalty is cruel. Yes, it is. Taking a human life is cruel. But since the criminal chose to take a life, how does society equate his punishment with his crime, except by demanding from him the same price he exacted? If you steal $5 from me and repay me $2 after you're caught, how can you say justice is restored?

Secondly, if it is cruel to put a person to death, isn't it equally cruel to lock him in a cage for the rest of his life? Punishment by its very nature is cruel.

2. The death penalty is expensive. Yes, it is. Made so by the endless appeals and stonewalling allowed under liberal courts. Execute (!) the sentence swiftly and the cost goes way down.

3. Innocent people are put to death. Nonsense. Cite one example where a person later PROVED innocent was executed. I'm not talking about cases where a legal technicality resulted in a reversed conviction. I'm talking about the discovery after the fact that the person executed was not guilty of the crime for which they were executed.

Our court system is imperfect. Innocent people do get convicted. It is possible an innocent person could be sentenced to death and the sentence carried out. But how is that different than depriving a man of his freedom for dozens of years because he was wrongly convicted? True, the surviving man can always be released and resume his life, such as it is -- an option not open to the executed prisoner. But no one can restore the lost years of the former any more than they can restore the life of the latter. Absent a perfect justice system, it's a risk we take with ANY conviction.

----

One can argue that the death penalty is WRONG, but that is a moral judgment, not a rational one. And it can be argued with equal validity that it is not only right, it is a moral imperative.

I understand that the reason an anesthesiologist gets paid it to bring you to the “brink of death” without actually killing you. So, why don’t we use the same drug for execution, but let them quietly slip past the “brink”. I’ve been knocked out for surgery and I can attest to the fact that it is not only painless, but you are so unaware that it is like time travel. Your perception is that the time between the time they knock you out and the time you wake up is instantaneous. You feel nothing.

Ever since my surgery 20 years ago I’ve wondered why they don’t do it this way. You take two deep breaths and you’re dead.

We have about 16,000 unlawful homicides a year. We execute about 30 people. That’s 1 execution per 500 homicides. Maybe if we did 1 per 50 or 1 per 5...

And the folks complaining about a cruel death/punishment are the same ones that have no problem sticking scissors in and terminating a late term pregnancy.

IIRC, it is succinol choline(sp). Just enough for surgery, too much and instant death. Saw this on one of the crime shows.
