Death penalty discussion

[Robert W]

This is a bit different than Democrats readers suppose.
I want to talk about the press and how they handle the death penalty.
So if you join in, please keep it to the press and them discussing the penalty.

I have tracked them from maybe once Karla Faye Tucker was still living. When she got executed, I took notice of what the Press had to say.
Days ago a convict was executed in Florida. This was a serious admitted serial killer. Since reports are easy to find now, you all need to read them to really get what I am talking about.

Once you check him out, also look up pending executions to see others in line. That site also shows past executions. When you see a name, check him out. You will learn fast the press has extreme sympathy for the killers.
It will interest me what you think about the press reports.

I believe since the press is left wing, they don't hide their agenda.

Really my beginning of Karla Tucker.
In her case, the media kept focusing on her religious conversion in prison.

Karla Faye Tucker was an American woman sentenced to death for killing two people with a pickaxe during a burglary. She was the first woman to be executed in the United States since Velma Barfield in 1984 in North Carolina, and the first in Texas since Chipita Rodriguez in 1863. Wikipedia
Born: November 18, 1959, Houston, TX
Died: February 3, 1998 (age 38 years), Huntsville Unit, Huntsville, TX

I don’t think the press supports the death penalty
I think their reporting reflects that

I'm divided about the death penalty. Although lately I'm beginning to be more for than against with all the horrible killings on the rise now.

The death penalty is a killing. The press would seem to be on the same side as the Catholic Church.

I have no problem with the DP (or life w/o parole, as long as the perps work for their own keep). DP appeals should be reduced to limit the costs, then the sentence should be swift. Life w/o parolees could actually be beneficial for the state if all were made to work (there is much to be done).

Jesus upheld the DP for dishonoring parents.

I believe in flushing toilets, but Tucker was not a serial killer by normal definition.

 

[Woodznutz]

A mercy killing, for everyone including the perp.

 

[Meathead]

The death penalty is a killing.

By definition. It's a shame so few are actually carried out.

I agree with your remarks.

 

[pknopp]

Jesus upheld the DP for dishonoring parents.

No, I don't believe he did.

Yes and the delays are so long one is young when convicted and already old when the penalty happens.

She killed 2 humans with a pickaxe. She had changed when executed. But the law does not count that as reason not to be executed.

Catholic Church opposes abortion, so no, they are not on the same side.

I am guessing why killers are not working at prison jobs and are kept locked up in cells. Duty for the state is risky. Convicts would not be isolated so escape becomes a problem for killers. A killer has the most to gain by escaping.
It is not that I am against your idea. I just want to analyze what happens to killers who work at prison jobs.

Dang, this primarily about the press and it's impact.

we are discussing the death penalty. Yes they can be related. My statement is correct as applied to actual topic.

Thanks but that was not her problem. She just murdered 2. Nobody called her a Serial killer. At least not myself.

Criminals, Not Just Murderers, Are Enemies of the Human Race

The Jurinalists want to save lives that take lives. They should have no more crdibility than their colleagues at The National Enquirer. We should read even the most respected fishwraps, including the ones that pretend to be on our side, just to laugh at them. You can tell by their copycat grammar that they're all in the same toxic clique.
