Should Charlie Kirk's murderer get the death penalty? - poll

[forkintheroad7]

What's the lie in my statement?

Is it time for

 

[forkintheroad7]

Almost 70% say he should be executed for many reasons

One reason is to show the entire country and world

What happens when you do this kind of thing. Some might say in a perfect world, he should be executed over and over again

Well, I've heard Hell described like that... so it looks like some people see things as God does... ? I don't want to presume on God too much, but I say that's encouraging

 

[IM2]

Give him life in prison.

 

[Blaster]

Execute him and televise it on pay for view.

 

[MarcATL]

He is NOT one of us at all.

He was queer and living with a trans. (Yes, there are a few gays who are Rs, but it's rare)

Get out of here w/ that lie.

His family is R. He was not.

Let's stop the pretence because it was the RNC that caused the GRINDR website to crash, not the DNC.

 

[MarcATL]

So when he gets strapped to the gurney the NRA, John Bircher's, and us Mormons and other rw groups will be the ones out protesting his execution?

Why do you think they'd do that?

“Vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord.” That means only God gets to kill people, right?

Thats one argument. So it’s unclear how a Christian can support the death penalty. Full disclosure, I’m not a Christian; I’m agnostic.

However politically, Utah has the death penalty I believe. If a State has it and doesn’t utilize it in this case...there is no need to have it in any case. I don’t care if he’s one day over 17...adult crime adult time or penalty in this case.

The practice of capital punishment is a wholesale failure by any measurement. But if we’re going to have it...this is the time to envoke it.

Yet, in biblical times men were assigned in Judean tribes as "Avengers of Blood" to execute murderers.
See:
Pentateuch Numbers 35:19 -- The [blood avenger] shall kill the murderer; he may kill him when he meets him.
Numbers 35: 30 -- Whoever [namely the blood avenger] kills a person, based on the testimony of witnesses, he shall slay the murderer. A single witness may not testify against a person so that he should die.

Someday we will be able to execute someone, revive them, and execute them again. Some people deserve multiple executions.

 

[tyroneweaver]

Why do you think they'd do that?

we won't be. That's the kicker. When he's executed I'll probably be on hole 9

 

[Yarddog]

Certain people should get the death penalty

1) cop killers
2) serial killers
3) those who kill in public

Should assassins? I guess that is covered in #3 which is something I never would have considered (either one) except that I am fed up with all the shootings. Don't get rid of guns.. Give guns to the good guys so we don't have to call 911 and wait God knows how long....

I still don't know where this idiot got the gun... haven't heard...

It looks to me like young men, esp the ones who are, or are associated with, trannies

should definitely not have them...

and yet it's a free country... supposedly. I wonder how we can really be free with public speakers always fearing the same fate.

I would also add those who torture thier victims to that list.

Yeah, if you were clamoring for the death penalty when you thought it was a lefty who took out Kirky, then you should want it now that it's been revealed he's one of your own.

One of whose own? What does that even mean?

 

[cowboy fan]

He's a born and bred rightwing Christian Republican from a deeply red, and Christian, state.

His father's a former sherrif and from the time he was born, he had a gun in his hand.

Textbook Republican.

Nice try bub.

logic fail

Link?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I see a few options myself.

Lethal Injection.
Hanging.
Electric Chair.
Firing Squad.

Expedite his trial like it was Donnie Pleading before the Supreme Court....

Unconstitutional. Cruel and unusual punishment. It is what it is.

 

[Yarddog]

One of whose own? What does that even mean?

It's a rare phenomenon that often happens on USMB

 

[cowboy fan]

I thought the rope, current, and chemicals were supposed to be a deterrent. I don't think anyone has mentioned it much in this thread.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Right. My bad. Sorry.

So what does it mean--“Vengence is mine sayeth the lord?”

The death penalty isn't "vengeance" it's called the penalty for killing someone. And learn how to spell if you're going to quote God. It's Vengeance and its saith not "sayeth."

When atheists try to quote scripture it's beyond hilarious.

Wow...you really think that there is no revenge element to it?

And learn how to spell if you're going to quote God. It's Vengeance and its saith not "sayeth."

I thought someone else wrote it...not God.

When atheists try to quote scripture it's beyond hilarious.

I love it when you pretend you're a Christian.

1) cop killers
2) serial killers
3) those who kill in public

I'm a quiet person who lives a quiet life. Because I'm not on your list, my killer gets less punishment? Bizarre reasoning
