I've heard something like that before...
Depends on the question.
Gee, now maybe the left will like her. /sarc
In the USA and any other technologically advanced society, where the imprisoned present no further threat to society, the death penalty is sinful.
Maybe it should not take 34 years to carry out a sentence....
It is an uncontested and irrefutable fact that the rate of recidivism among those prisoners who are executed is zero.
This sentence should have been carried out within five years of the crime. “Justice delayed is justice denied.”
As for brutality, criminal executions are merciful compared to to
the brutality of abortions, committed on the most innocent among us.
hey could always ask for people to let him live with them.
He deserved death.
34 years on death row? He should have been executed 33 years ago.
He murdered 4 people, death is the answer and it should have happened 34 years earlier.
No sympathy whatsoever.
I ‘disagree’ that state-sanctioned executions are a poison in our law and culture, as the author states.
The problem is an endless line of state-sponsored appeals and justice not quickly carried out. Further there’s lots of people who’ve been raised in unstable homes while growing up who don’t go out and kill people...Additionally put a person in jail you can be assured over time they’re going to improve to some degree.
The only worse thing about someone that murders another human being is having a guilty conscience about it. But if you confess your sins and give your soul to Jesus that is at least a consolation. Won’t bring anyone back and the sentence still needs to be carried out but if I knew that the person that murdered my love one or ones repented then it would bring some comfort. It all started with the forbidden fruit.
Wrong thinking. What is dehumanizing is a civilization that has no sense of justice. Roger Stone can get a 3-year sentence for a supposed crime he committed yet McCabe and Comey are not even charged for actually committing the same crime. Where is justice these days?
This man killed those people and he should pay for his crime no matter how he might have turned his life around in prison. And, if he is a true believer, then he knows that this is not the end but only the beginning.
Peter said it best: Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler (1 Peter 4:15)
The four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable and praiseworthy.
Death is in fact the answer but is not swift enough.
The fact the man allegedly changed in prison does not relieve him from his sentence of death.
I pay for his upkeep while alive. when dead, that economic burden is lifted from me
He chose Old Sparky over lethal injection. Why would he do that if he didn’t feel he still deserved the severest punishment available?
I almost agree but for a different reason. Whenever there’s an execution, I specifically read on to find out when the original crime took place. Almost without exception it is around 30+ years. That’s basically an adult lifetime, lived by the offender. Justice delayed is justice denied. If we can’t do it correctly, give it up.
What was the question?
I've heard something like that before...
Over 61 MILLION future American citizens have by executed by CHOICE since '73.
Unfortunately, until the way such prisoners are handled is drastically changed, death “is” the answer.
This demon was in prison, yet still managed to kill. The only alternative to the death penalty for such persons is life imprisonment in total solitary confinement, in facilities purpose built for this function. Putting these offenders in regular prisons puts still puts the guards and other prisoners at a risk they do not deserve to be exposed to.
