Sotomayor says executing child rapist/killer is barbarism

[HereWeGoAgain]

Any country that lowers itself to corporate executions is showing they have no morals

An eye for an eye was suitable a hundred years ago but modern societies know better

Why was it acceptable then but not now?

 

[Dragonlady]

The death penalty is barbaric

Most of the civilized world forbids it

What do ewe think of child killers/rapists?

I think they should be imprisoned for life

Far more cruel than the death penalty. It’s also cheaper.

Leaving this asshole to rot in prison for the rest of his life, never to breathe free air again and treated like the parriah he is.

Lethal injection and it’s over. Let’s him off easy.

A .45 round is more expensive than thirty years on death row?

I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, it is the child that suffers!

U.S. Supreme Court will not stop Irick's execution; Sotomayor says we have 'accepted barbarism'

******* liberal is a SICK person! This pos SHOULD suffer! Imagine how that child felt! Imagine what her family has had to deal with for TWENTY YEARS!

Her family has known that her killer was arrested and imprisoned for 20 years.

The man has suffered from mental illness all of his life. He was beaten and abused as a child and institutionalize for his illness. It is illegal to execute the mentally ill.

Killing this man doesn’t do anything for anyone. It’s an act just as barbaric and cruel as the original crime. It’s what we’ve come to expect from Americans.

Stupidity, cruelty and dickishness. You used to be better than this.

 

[hjmick]

Did any of you actually read the reason behind her comments? Or are all just so excited about having an opportunity to toss around your fauxrage that it doesn't matter?


Oh, and she did not say that that "executing a child rapist is barbarism."


At least make an attempt to be honest in your fauxrage...

Tough shit. It is our country our call. Don’t like it? Scratch!

 

[G.T.]

im pro death penalty because i value my life to such a degree that it keep me from murdering you sickos



j.p.

i am pro d.p., though

 

[rightwinger]

Anyone who has to push a button that kills someone is engaging in a barbaric act....we shouldn’t sink that low

How about pulling a lever or trigger?
Would that be more acceptable to your delicate convictions?

Demeaning to a civilized society

 

[rightwinger]

Most nations look at capital punishment as cruel and unusual punishment

Eventually, our courts will do the same

Billy Ray Irick has been served a deluxe burger combo for last meal before execution


This site has a video in which the mom gets to speak, it also details what this monster did to that little girl. I have no doubt that the monster’s passing will be easier than hers was.

"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, while shrouding his suffering behind a veneer of paralysis," Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.

Who ever said the death penalty was supposed to be pain free?

"I cannot in good conscience join in this 'rush to execute'

1986......rush to execute? WTF!

In her dissent, Sotomayor notes the expert testimony that held Irick may feel "sensations of suffocation and of burning that 'may well be the chemical equivalent of being burned at the stake'."

That's easy. Give him the knockout injection. Then shoot him in the head.

Sotomayor says executing child rapist/killer is barbarism

Then it's a barbarism I'm willing to accept. A lot.

Amen to this. If they don't want such things done to themselves, why do they go messing with kids or anyone else in the first place?

God bless you always!!!

Europe is not most of the civilized world.
