Should Laken Riley's murderer receive the death penalty if convicted?

[Mac-7]

The state of Georgia reinstated the death penalty on March 28, 1973. On July 2, 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the death penalty in Georgia as constitutional, and the preferred method of execution since 2000 is death by lethal injection. Since that time, a total of thirty executions by lethal injection have been carried out in the state of Georgia

If the illegal alien Jose Ibarra is found guilty of the murder of Laken Riley, should he be put to death?

Yes, kill him

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Really?

Who told you this?

.

Well, my priest, who is very careful about what he says and whom he says it to. And I don't really blame him for this.

I have my own opinions stashed away, just in case the world starts making sense again.

I’ll happily pull the trigger

The proper interpretation is, Thou shalt not murder.

Thats the Jewish version.

 

[Votto]

As a matter of policy I am against the death penalty, but life in prison, you betcha. I don't know this case, but WAPO is reporting he was found guilty.

There is nothing humane about locking people up indefinitely so they can rape and murder each other behind bars

A fate worse than death.

 

[Votto]

Thats the Jewish version.

From the Ten commandments that was being referenced

Yes.

What is wrong with you people?

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Jesus upheld the death penalty, under the Law, and for a lesser crime.

Interesting. Can you quote scripture? I'd like to know, for sure.

Thanks.

I said as a matter of policy, not whether or not its more or less humane.
Given the significant number of people who turn out to have actually been innocent, as a matter of policy I am against the government being able to do that.

Nothing. The Ten Commandments are taught to mean different things depending on the religion.

Matthew 5:17

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

Where did Jesus change the Mosaic law regarding a life for a life?

 

[JGalt]

Who?

Her name was "Laken."

Not "Lincoln", as an incontinent old pervert who occupied the White House once called her. The same guy who was responsible for her murderer being in this country.

Matthew 5:17

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

Where did Jesus change the Mosaic law regarding a life for a life?

Because he enacted the 10 commandments, which says "thou shall not kill." It doesn't say "thou shall not kill unless found guilty in a court of law."

"Although the Law may sound bloodthirsty, it was applied with great restraint. In Ezekiel 33:11 God laments, "As sure as I live . . . I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live." The Lawgiver Himself was reluctant to impose the death penalty, preferring that the wrongdoers repent."

The Death Penalty

Throughout the Bible, we see several references to the death penalty, or capital punishment. Scripture includes mention of capital punishment in both the Old and New Testaments.

Even God himself did NOT want to impose the death penalty.

 

[the watcher]

Lots of citizens have done that too. Do you want them put to death as well?

Yep

 

[JGalt]

Just announced: Guilty of all charges!

 

[Woodznutz]

Nope, it does not say that. The commandment is "thou shall not kill." True Christians believe only God has the right to end life.

The "eye for an eye" thing is on the old testament. Christians live by Christ's forgiveness and the new testament, which clearly states that killing is wrong. If you really want to go by everything in the old testament, it also talks about incest. You're not for that too, are ya? Job having sex with his daughters after getting drunk with them? Do you REALLY want to go back to the old testament?

Since real Christians believe everyone but Jesus is a sinner, then what gives one sinner the right to end the life of another via the gov't killing them? Ending a life to protect your own is one thing, summarily killing someone with poison in a vein 20 years after their crime is something entirely different.

Lot, Abraham's nephew had sex with his daughters.

Neither murderers nor the courts are "Christian". They are the "magistrates", the secular civil authorities, charged with law enforcement.

"Eye for eye" applies only in a certain context. One of the most misunderstood and misused scriptures in the Bible.

You shall not murder, is the correct translation.

That's right not Job, Lot did that.

I want the death penalty. but..... with the conviction on circumstantial evidence, no matter how over whelming the cirumstantial evidence is: you can only give life in prison

Mark 7

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Yes. Publicly and quickly, instead of them rotting in prison for years at taxpayer expense.

Criminals are sentenced based on everything including the kitchen sink, not solely on their crime. This is where 'justice' goes off the rails.
