re: Time To Start Putting 'em To Death

Anyone who actively promotes the death penalty, knowing that innocent people have been put to death and innocent death row inmates have recently been exonerated, is a freedom hating clown.

Truthfully, since there has been evidence after the fact that proved people who have been executed were actually innocent,
But i do know the liberal point of view on this is summed up in The Life of David Gale. If you dont know what im talking about go watch the movie. I still dont know how hollywood thought it was help the narrative of that movie by adding the last scene.

I disagree that we should use the death penalty as a deterrent. I think we need to use it as pure punishment. I don't care if it deters anyone but but scumbags should be removed from this world swiftly for justice sake.

More of the feminization of America. We don't have the resolve to deal with tough things anymore. There is a sub culture that only understands brute force. We need to use it to save the rest of us.

What's the holdup? How come all the scumbags on Death Row still have a heartbeat after years and years of incarceration? This is a joke!
You take an innocent life and yours' should be taken as well. Prison reform, my arse!
The death penalty should serve as a deterrent, not as an assisted living accommodation.

Since 1973, 144 people on death row have been exonerated. As a percentage of all death sentences, that's just 1.6 percent.
I'd like to see the reason for each one of those so-called exonerations. I suspect many were overturned because of a minor mishandling of DNA - which in many cases wasn't mishandled at all, just didn't quite come up to our present day standards of paperwork; most aren't overturned because the person is actually innocent. That's one of those nasty little bits of information the innocence project doesn't like to talk about.

Here are a few stories, if you're interested. I don't know when the last one was. As you can imagine, it often takes a long time for real "truth" to surface.

Very recently, a death row inmate in Louisiana was freed after it was uncovered that the prosecutor was a crooked arse who went after the death penalty and essentially concealed evidence that would have prevented a conviction in the first place. Rodricus Thomas was the inmate's name.
Also in Louisiana, a guy named Glen Ford was released after 30 years of solitary confinement on death row. He died a few months after his release at 65 years old.
Crazy.

We're talking about exonerations here - where the inmate is declared to have committed no crime.
Glen Ford, who was a Louisiana native that spent 30 years on death row is a great example. He was later found to have not only not committed the murder he was convicted of, but found to have not even been at the crime scene to begin with.

Probably so, but they're also guilty of some other stuff that they haven't even been charged for so it all washes out.

Almost 0% of people executed for their crimes go on to re-offend.
But I still don't know how I feel about the death penalty. It has always struck me odd that people generally fall into one of two buckets.
Pro-life + pro death penalty
Or
Pro-choice + anti death penalty.

Pretty much. I take the Catholic Church's stance. I'm against both.

Not that you asked me specifically, but I am pro-life in all circumstances, and anti-death penalty in all circumstances.

As I've gotten older, I tend to personally not be in favor of the death penalty.
But I'm not necessarily against it either as there are some heinous mfer crimes out there.
If the survivors of the victim of a capital crime thinks that is the only way they can ever receive justice, It wouldn't hurt my feelings.
