tolovetolaugh -> Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 8:16:59 AM)

I get a bit bored watching these things, they seem to run in circles a lot.
But this part actually kept me interested a bit and looks like a good debate.

How do you feel about the death penalty? Do you worry if Perry wins the presidency it will be a federal issue, since he seems to feel so strong about it?

Think I posted the link yesterday that pertained to this. The Death Penalty is administered in a racist manner in these here United States of America. Until that changes I be against it.

Something for Texas to be proud of
#1 in people put to death
# 50 in education

O come on, I thought we had our race discussion, I wanted to try something new!
And if someone kills another person in something other then self defense, you don't believe they should get the death penalty simply because you think the system is racist? That's a bit of a cop out, plus I bet your all for those white teens in the other post getting the death penalty.

You need to get out more....drive to the state pen and go to death row and check out who is there........then go look at the statistics on murder by race.......then come back and tell me why white people murder more yet never pay for it.




tolovetolaugh -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 8:54:16 AM)

White people murder more...
Show me a non biased article proving that? The one you provided earlier did not state white people murder more.

death penalty is barbarism
look at the countries who still sentence ppl to death
China, USA, Iran ...
you still feel fine?




DomYngBlk -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 8:59:12 AM)

You are right, I am wrong. I stand corrected




tolovetolaugh -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 9:14:21 AM)

Well now I am sad. I really thought this would be a fun controversial one, and I love arguing with you Dom, since you make rational arguments, back up your statements, don't degenerate to name calling, and I all around respect you, even if I don't always agree.

Ah well, I am sure we will find something else to argue about soon enough. [&o]

Yes, yes I do.
I am a firm believer in the death penalty- hell if someone purposely killed my cat I would probably be trying to kill them, let alone a family member or friend.

Anybody that doesnt struggle with the risk of executing an innocent man should not be in charge with a human life or the end of it.




tolovetolaugh -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 9:24:01 AM)

Yes but if he had quibbled over it at all, he would have been just as torn apart later. I am not republican, but I can still respect a strong speaker who stands his ground and shuts up a criticism before it can start rolling downhill.
What I found funny was the applause.




Lucylastic -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 9:25:31 AM)

to ignore what he did is reason enough for me to never vote for the man or endorse him, and Im in favour of death penalty for some crimes

Perhaps the bleakest fact of all is that the death penalty is imposed not only in a freakish and discriminatory manner, but also in some cases upon defendants who are actually innocent. -Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., 1994

This report tells the stories of people like Rolando Cruz, released after 10 years on Illinois's death row, despite the fact that another man had confessed to the crime shortly after his conviction; and Ricardo Aldape Guerra, who returned to Mexico after 15 years on Texas's death row because of a prosecution that a federal judge called outrageous and designed to simply achieve another notch on the prosecutor's guns.

http://robtshepherd.tripod.com/innocent.html

For every 7 executions - 486 since 1976 - 1 other prisoner on death row has been found innocent.

http://officeofstrategicinfluence.com/deathpenalty/

Willie Williams and Joseph Nichols both shot at their murder victim, but only one hit him. In order to execute both, Texas argued that each had killed the man; in one trial, the state argued that Mr. Williams had shot the victim and Mr. Nichols had missed, and in the next trial, the state argued that Mr. Nichols had shot the victim and Mr. Williams had missed. Both were convicted of capital murder. Mr. Williams was executed by Gov. Bush; Mr. Nichols is still on death row.

superb thinking ... of course the relatives of that someone must have the same right to kill you afterwards ...

you could not explain better what barbarism is

I am a firm believer this is not making anything better but many things worse




DomKen -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 10:17:47 AM)

FR

Perry has already killed at least one inocent man, Cameron Todd Willingham. What kind of blood thirsty maniac could possibly be proud of that fact?




Lucylastic -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/8/2011 10:28:54 AM)

only Rick Perry and others of his ilk, oh and his supporters.
