I don’t see it as a deterrent as much as a way to avoid paying to keep these animals alive for decades. That, and most of the victims’ families are able to find a modicum of comfort in it.

In cases as heinous as these, I don’t have the slightest answer as to what is/isn’t the right thing to do.

Why in the hell would you oppose the death penalty? It should be more readily available as a prosecutorial tool than it currently is.

I don't feel that's for me to say.

It's the law of the land so I guess I don't really oppose it but it seems insufficient, if that makes any sense.

Death penalty for murdering children, eh?

I wonder if this is to prepare for a certain former presidential candidate and her former staffer who may or may not have cut the face of a child (and killed it).

Trump playing Chess as this board likes to say. When the media and the Dems start speaking out against this then they will be defending child killers.

Brings up one of my favorite points. If you are for the death penalty and against abortion whats the difference in taking one life then saving another?

Why Do you think child murderers deserve tax payer funded meals, AC, etc in prison?

How about we take care of the obvious ones listed here before you begin a Progressive AgitProp campaign for the outliers? There is no need to muddy the waters.

Forgive my ignorance... why were they tried in federal court? How could those federal district courts have sentenced death? Do those respective states have the death penalty?

I've never understood the opposition to the death penalty for crimes this atrocious.


At the end of the day it’s still the state sanctioned killing of citizens, the very nature of which has many potential pitfalls and hazards. And that’s not even factoring in the reality that a not insignificant number of people on death row were falsely convicted.

I’m not against the death penalty, but I completely understand that line of thinking.

Allegedly there's a video on Weiner's confiscated laptop inside a folder called "insurance" that has Hillary and Huma in a room with a doctor and they cut the face off of a child and were wearing it like a mask.
