Sooooo.....fire up old Sparky?

Sigh.....
I am sadly.....prone to say we should have no death penalty....I have to slap myself out of it now and then. It's not even about prevention...it's about what is fair.

.

I still struggle with it. It's still a price to feed and house a man for life, plus the cost of all those appeals lawyers.

But when I pray for the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death, I have to mean it.

It doesn't seem to deter however.

Actually we've not tried televised executions.

I am Christian. And Christians who are against the 'death penalty' are terribly mislead. The death penalty was instituted by God once Noah stepped off the boat.

(Gen. 9:5-6) "And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."

Man is given the authority, by God, to exercise the death penalty for the murder of man. That authority has never been removed. Many like to say that is Old Testament. So what, it has never been removed. The Mosaic Law has ceased, but this death penalty was before the Mosaic Law and is still in place.

Note that before this was instituted, man did not have the authority to take another's life for murder. Remember Cain and Abel. God cursed Cain and drove Cain out away from Adam and his family. (Gen. 4:11-12) But Cain feared some would come and kill him for his killing of Abel. (Gen. 4:14)

And God said, "...whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold...." God would not allow the death penalty.

But after the flood that changed. In order to curb the wickedness that got out of control, resulting in the flood, God instituted the death penalty for man to exercise.

But of course liberal and leftest whiners complain how unjust that is. And whiney Christians complain how God loves everyone and so there should be no death penalty. Because they don't know God or the Scriptures.

God instituted the death penalty for man to exercise on God's behalf. If man, as so many in the U.S. does, says he just can't do it because he is so good and kind, God says ok. Don't do it. But I gave it to you to curb wickedness. And if you don't want to do it, the multiplication of wickedness is on you. Now you can live with it.

Which is where we are at today.

That's what the gallows in the town square accomplished.

The left is for the death penalty we saw that the other day. I suspect we had a number of people here cheering and dancing who didn't dare post it.

 

[knuckles]

I'm not sure I could watch...

Most people would.
I personally have refused to watch the video of Kirk getting shot as well as the video of that Ukrainian girl getting slaughtered.
But I think I am the exception.

Absolutely, the crime being disagreeing with them.

Yep.... Look at all the sick people here were accusing Charlie Kirk of hate when all he did was simply present an opposing viewpoint.

Not one of them has posted anything at all in the form of video or a quote from Charlie Kirk to prove that he spread hatred.

It's going to be an uphill battle to keep this kid out of the chair. Rumors have it that the widow will lead the charge AGAINST The death penalty.

Myself? This is one that should happen.

It should happen swiftly.

What say you Board patrons?

There was intent, there was deliberation, there was preparation.

Let's go with 480 volts....

If he tells all he knows...give him a life sentence.

I'm with Erika. Whatever she wants, I'll support.

Well, I see what you mean, but I would say: the left is for murder, not for the death penalty as executed by government.

Thus the left, as you said, dance and cheer when one of theirs murders one of ours. Then they will piss and moan about the death penatly they might face.

Yes ... That is true

How do you know? Can’t prove a negative. Increase or reduction in murder can be a result of too many other factors.
One thing for certain is the executed perp will in fact no longer to able to kill again. That is a definite deterrence in his case.

 

[Missourian]

Should you wait until after the trial?

Yes. But I doubt there will be a trial. There will likely be some sort of plea deal that takes the death penalty off the table.

Has anyone noticed that not a single building or store has be set aflame or looted by conservatives since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, despite the horrible remarks coming from the Democrat Socialists of America.

Give democrats time and they’ll create some.

Nah! I prefer the firing squad that Utah uses to execute their criminals. five shooters four real bullets, one blank.

How about machine guns with one blank?
