I am not a Perry fan and can't comment on that one. I am pro death penalty, though I do believe we need to work on the system involved a bit.

Though I doubt there is any government system in place that doesn't need some kind of work.

The sad thing is that confessions have often been proven to be worthless due to police brutality. You all need to visit my fair city to understand this.

The death penalty is unforgiving and it is barbaric. When I think of pedophiles and child murderers, I often think that a little barbarism might go along way. However, I know mistakes are made and I have seen far too many cases where the prosecution has suppressed vital information and where forensic laboratories have made horrendous mistakes, been guilty of pandering to the interest of prosecutors or intentionally falsifying results.

One of our somewhat recently imprisoned Governors abolished the death penalty in Illinois while he was still in office. I believe it was the only admirable thing he accomplished.

If it needs work then there is no way that you should support it. Since it will always be an imperfect system then how can you be pro death penalty?

When Susan Smith is still drawing breath how can anyone be pro death penalty?

So you figure the cops had the recruiting center shooter's balls wired up to a field phone, when he was writing his boasting letters to the press?  The best Ken could come up with was a vast Islamic terrorist conspiracy, but I know you are far more creative than that, so I'll look forward to your defense proposal.

Get it right, by all means, but there is only one punishment suitable for these crimes.

She is drawing breath because no one wanted to believe a mother in her right mind would kill her kids in the manner that she did. Sadly, they were wrong.

According to that argument we shouldn't support ANYTHING in government.

Still waiting for you to come play painball so I can be "an awful person".

I've asked it before on this thread and I will ask it again, how is this eye for an eye argument justifiable?

Murder by the state is considered justice?

What message does that send?

I am a firm believer in eye for an eye.

Last time it was "revenge" by the state, which was answered, so now you're back to "murder" by the state eh? Working the old complex question fallacy seems to be your stock in trade. What message do you suppose that sends?

I have not made an eye for an eye argument, RML.  I believe there are violations of the social compact which demand the ultimate punishment.  Care to explain how you got from one to the other?

I like it!!! If you don't commit crimes, you don't have to worry about it do you...

I just wanted to jump in real quick and enlighten a few of you lazy twits who like to jump to bold conclusions instead of taking ten minutes out of your life to shed some of your idiocy and find out the truth.

Based on the UCR, the BJS, and DPIC the following statistics have been gathered since 1976, and have maintained a linear pattern with a +/- of 3% of all reported crimes and executions based on those crimes in the united states.


Races of defendants executed in the U.S. since 1976:

Black 35%
White 56%
Latino 7%
Other 2%


While you are
"enlighten a few of you lazy twits who like to jump to bold conclusions instead of taking ten minutes out of your life to shed some of your idiocy and find out the truth."
You might heed your own advice.
There are about four times as many whites in the u.s. than blacks. Simple math would indicate that the black executions sould be about twenty five percent of the white level instead of about seventy five percent.

And how many of those are just overcompensating for horrific abuses of the death penalty in the past? We have no history of the tyrannical "off with his head" monarchists here. No reign of terror in the wake of our revolution.



For fucks sake get a history book writen for someone beyond the fifth grade dick.

They will be violent.

2 16 year olds broke in to the home of my 62 year old 5' tall, 98 pound aunt and beat her to death. They stole money, they bragged about their crime to all their school mates and they used the money to get drugs and tattoos.


There seems to be no question of their guilt.
Were you aware that in males the brain is not fully formed and functioning properly till about the age of 25.
Perhaps that is why 16 year olds cannot legally sign contracts.

I am always reading up on things to try and better inform myself. Sometimes this changes my views, other times not so much.
Saying someone shouldn't be responsible for their actions because of their age is scary. Giving such younger people an excuse to purposely get away with... murder. Sets a bad standard I think.

You remind me of the reason why coffee cups have to say hot.

There is violence within the army. It does not get as bad(as far as I know, I know many who have served, but I myself have not) due to the structure of its system.

Here's the way to solve the problem of false prosecutions. You add a caveat to the death penalty, that if the accused is found innocent after the verdict is carried out, the prosecutor gets the same punishment. Now, prosecutors would be far more careful about being correct in their accusations and fewer people would get the death penalty unjustly.

When it's an open and shut case of someone killing, raping or harming a child though, I think we should skip the 50,000 injection and put a .17 cent bullet in the back of their head.

Executing the prosecutor is still execution....how bout we just give them life with no parole and consign them to general prison population no protective custody.
