What's more lethal, being a Death Row inmate or traveling to Bourbon Street?

As of April 23, 2021, three inmates have been executed in the United States in 2021, all by lethal injection.[1]
As of now Bourbon Street has the edge in 2021 as being deadlier than being a death row inmate in America. Safe travels

I would say general population would be a lot more dangerous than Bourbon Street. Ok, maybe not a lot.

I think I'd take my chances on Bourbon St. over being on death row.
I'll just be somewhere else by around 10 PM.

- You didn't tell us how many people were killed on Bourbon street this year.
- You didn't tell us what percentage of death row inmates were killed compared with what percentage of Bourbon street participants were killed.
This is some advocate quality journalism right here.

Probability of surviving bourbon street is higher than surviving death row.

That area has always been sketchy close to midnight.

Definitely Death Row.
But, let's agree to get rid of the death penalty, and then you can have your silly rhetorical win!

I’m gonna need a link for that and numbers. How many death row inmates and how many bourbon street visitors.

No we just need to expedite the execution of the execution.

Cool. What do you want the arbitrary cutoff to be? How long?
Posted on 4/27/21 at 10:54 am to Joshjrn
How long do criminals have after conviction and sentencing before they start serving their punishment?

A prison sentence? Immediately, at least generally.
So is that your cutoff? No appeals, just walk them outside and execute them after they are sentenced?

I’m not terribly opposed but I could be convinced otherwise. Why, how long do you think we should wait?
Posted on 4/27/21 at 11:00 am to LoneStar23
Based on this thread I’m gonna see if I can spend next Mardi Gras in jail

I don't believe we should have the death penalty at all.
But anyway, this is the list of people who have been exonerated from death row for reasons of "actual innocence" (as opposed to all of those terrible "legal technicalities" people like to pretend exist...).

Sort it by "years between". Decide how many of those innocent people you would be comfortable knowing the State murdered. What's the acceptable level of collateral damage to perpetuate the death penalty?

I tend to agree.
Not because I don't believe in capital punishment, but the system is so inefficient that we'd be better off letting them die in prison.

Then I will never convince you otherwise.
ALOT of those cases have been cleared due to DNA evidence. It’s becoming more and more common place to utilize it and will only get more accurate and reliable.

I notice that you utterly sidestepped the question.
Not only are there countless innocent people who we murdered before DNA became mainstream, but DNA isn't magic. If you think there aren't wrongfully convicted people on death row now, you're delusional. And I have no doubt that when the next major scientific advance happens that is a watershed moment like DNA was, all of the pro-death penalty advocates will claim *now* all of our convictions going forward will be perfect.
But again, if you're willing to have an honest conversation on the subject, you should be willing to answer my question. What's your number?

Yes..... eye for an eye.... the victims didn’t get a chance for any appeals or were able to talk to their family again..... IMO if a murderer is found guilty and they sentence him/her to death, it should take no longer than 6 weeks for said person to be put to death.....
