There is no presumption of innocence and people are put to death after the crime rather quickly, not to mention the absurd things that can get you a death sentence, hung in a public square, and sometimes in multiples, and if I'm not mistaken a crap load more per capita than here in the US.

Edited to add my apology and I now hereby direct all the previous shit directed at Ken over to Rulemylife.

However you can't so I oppose the death penalty. Here you go, Ken. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Little_Rock_recruiting_office_shooting Not even close to proven. It is entirely possible the actual shooter escaped and this guy is a fall guy. And its entirely possible that you'll actually take an intellectually honest position some day, it just has a very low probability.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen As a minor quibble the appelate decision you quote includes a mistake that should at least grant the men a new trial.

If I recall you are from this area Ken. His family went and got good old Jimmy Berry to defend him. Tony Elam's family had enough sense to hug us and tell us they were sorry for what their son did, then they left him to get what he had coming. It may be revenge. I don't know and I don't care. Two people in my life have been murdered and there is no doubt about who killed them both. Killers should give up their right to live, once there is no doubt that they did it. My opinion, it won't change, as I know no one else will change their stance on this from reading my story. It is what it is yanno?

No Ken it wasn't intentional. Why would I intentionally embarrass myself then apologize for it ? I was going too fast and that last time when I went back to the original, I only was noticing the post, I didn't read the name. I mixed you up with RML It was unintentional. If you can't accept that then too bad.

There is a claim here that the death penalty in the US is somehow 'different' to the death penalty in Iran or China. This claim is clearly false. The death penalty - the execution of a person by the State - is precisely the same no matter where it is carried out. The person is put to death at the behest of the State in all instances. The crime(s) the person is convicted of may vary. The legal processes preceding the imposition of the death penalty may vary. The manner of execution may vary. But the penalty - death - is precisely the same in all instances. Therefore there is no merit in the claim the death penalty in the US is different to the death penalty in other jurisdictions. Therefore comparisons of the death penalty between the US, China and Iran are valid. Comparisons of penal codes, legal processes, manner of execution etc are not necessarily valid. Also, why are so many "pro-life' people so enthusiastic about being 'pro-death-penalty' (and often anti-gay love/marriage too)? Is there anything other than the dictates of a narrow interpretation of fanciful non-rational ideology linking these positions?

I don't find that related except maybe conservatives have those views all jumbled up. I am pro death penalty, but also pro choice, believe anyone who wants it deserves marriage and feel that you trying to link me to those assholes who try to impose their views on others a bit sad. I feel the death penalty is very rational. Maybe i will retype this all in the morning- i got the gist of it out, but I don't feel I put it out right.

Is there anything other than the dictates of a narrow interpretation of fanciful non-rational ideology linking these positions? This is something I've wondered about myself, Tweak. Granted, I had the polarity swapped, and wondered why many lefties place so much value on the lives of murderers and rapists and psychopaths, and none whatsoever on innocent life, ripped from the womb on the abortionists table, but, we aren't going to see completely eye-to-eye very often, anyway.

tweakabelle -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/10/2011 8:48:17 PM)
Okies Heretic I'll bite. I am pro- a woman's right to choose. No one other than the mother is in a position to make fertility decisions and live the consequences. As far as I'm concerned, life - in the legal sense - begins at birth. I cannot see how taking a life can be justified other than it is the sole viable option left after all others are exhausted. This is the case with self-defence. This is never the case with the death penalty. If society is going to have an institution of marriage, it should be a choice made on the basis of love, not who or how you bonk. Having addressed your end of the polarity, kindly return the favour.

I'm sorry you got the impression I was lumping all pro-death penalty people together. My point is only directed at those who describe themselves as pro-life, pro-death penalty and anti-gay marriage. I had felt that was clear in the post I made but obviously not ..... As you are pro-choice and pro-gay marriage, then my post is clearly not directed at you. If my clumsy expression was responsible for your misapprehension, please excuse it.

TheHeretic -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/10/2011 8:58:13 PM)
Oh, I'm pro-choice as well, Tweak, right up to the moment we can just adopt out a preemie. I'm just not all fluffybunny-naive and politically correct towards any possible sensitivities about what the procedure involves. It's the woman's body, her rights trump those of the life she carries. That is quite consistent with my belief that society has the right, even the duty, to provide the ultimate penalty in pursuit of justice.

[:)] I think I just need sleep. A bit tired after a member of the boards kicked my butt in scrabble. >< Twice.

There may be plenty of other incriminating evidence but if the tech who tested the DNA said it was definitely from the victim then the tech lied. It's that simple. As to the rest, of course you want revenge. Society has to be more than the base wants of the wronged in these cases. First of all there is the slippery slope problem. What if the case isn't as cut and dried as this one? Do we still execute those convicted who are less clearly guilty? What if a father is convicted of setting a fire that kills his children? What happens when it turns out that the fire investigators were using fairy tales and not science to determine that arson had been commited? Can we give Cameron Willingham hs life back?

quote: Can we give Cameron Willingham hs life back? Thank you for reminding us all of the essential issue. In order to prove himself the biggest bully around, Perry went out of his way to ensure an innocent man was executed. Real "Christian", eh?
