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...
She objects to the method of execution which borders cruel and unusual
It's not so much the method, as I understand the issue, it's that the first drug administered may not perform as advertised. That is, it may not necessarily render the condemned unconscious and unable to feel pain. Some argue that would constitute cruel and unusual punishment, I can't say they're wrong. To those that would say, "So what? What about what he did to the little girl?" You're right, but don't want us, as a society, to be better than these scumbags?
Personally, I have no opinion on the death penalty one way or another, but I will say, if the law is on the books, and the state wants impose the death penalty, I want them to be GOD damned sure they have the right person. They should, in my opinion, be forced to have DNA, hair, fibers, and fingerprints... and a picture of the accused standing over the body holding the weapon if possible... before they kill hi or her...
The truth is, there are some people out there who just need killing, they are not fit to live among the rest of us. They usually make themselves known when the commit horrific and heinous crimes. Putting them to death certainly guarantees they will not be repeat offenders...
Ban the death penalty, don't ban it, makes no difference to me, but if you don't, change the standards for its implementation.
