So, an eye for an eye. Except she was an innocent child.

Good riddance. God will have a few words with him.

They should have brought him back to life and do it again. Kid killers need to have the little extra upon termination of life.

Yep, that would be it.

Appalling that these death-penalty freak wags above sit and revel in sadism. Even if one advocates the death penalty the idea is to rid society of the criminal, not to exact "revenge". That these freaks froth at the mouth over the sadism aspect just demonstrates the moral paucity of their position.

From the link:

>> "In refusing to grant Irick a stay, the Court today turns a blind eye to a proven likelihood that the State of Tennessee is on the verge of inflicting several minutes of torturous pain on an inmate in its custody," Ms Sotomayor wrote. "If the law permits this execution to go forward in spite of the horrific final minutes that Irick may well experience, then we have stopped being a civilised nation and accepted barbarism."

The US Supreme Court has described potassium chloride as "chemically burning at the stake". <<

Bring back the guillotine. Can’t call it cruel. If you do, you still can’t call it unusual.

I'd be happy if they felt 1/10th of the pain, suffering, and torture they visited on thier victims.

See what I mean? You just went down the same hole. Death is a one-zero proposition; it's either death or life, not the 'degrees' sadists cream their jeans over.

What's sailing over all y'all's heads is this -------------- your emotions are irrelevant. Once you start running on that you're in deep doodoo.

10 years of dealing with assholes like that, bragging about what they did, makes it kind of hard to maintain an unemotional stance

Typical that the left feels sympathy/empathy/pity for this monster but no words for an innocent child.

"...cruel AND unusual."

If it's common, it's not at all unusual.

Tennessee did not execute an innocent child. Read the link.
Nor did I opine in any way about the criminal. Read my post.
Nor am I an entire side of the political spectrum anyway. Read this.

Strike three, yer out. Next batter please.

So, a guy that inflicted needless pain and suffering on others,will be subject to pain and suffering? Implying there's a negative side here? Explain that to me. What is the "bad' side here?

It degrades us as a civilization. Or a purported civilization anyway.

Kind of like why we don't engage in torture. Or burn women at the stake.

Doesn't matter, it's gotta be did.

Put simply, if you're unable to divorce your emotions from justice, then you're not qualified to be dispensing the latter. Obviously some klown in Tennessee is unqualified.

No amount of sadism brings the victim back; all it does is feed the sadists.

Interestingly the state has a law pending that would prohibit this kind of administration of the mentally ill. So it could soon make what it just did, illegal.

GOD says if we DONT execute in cases like this, an INJUSTICE is done.
