The Left - “The death penalty is wrong”

Why are you avoiding the question?
Avoiding? The cold-blooded murder of anyone, especially a stranger is always barbaric. I suppose some might be worse than others, but still all barbaric. Again, why would you ask me such an asinine question?
 
Doesn't matter how many times you make that dumb remark; it still isn't true.
Upon what can you justify that statement ?

How could it not be a gamble ? Bearing in mind all the people who have been killed by non-executed convicts?
 
I’m good with the death penalty for those that deserve it by their own actions and choices.
 
Well, in a "civilized" place it's a deterrent.

The problem with the South and other such states is they do it because they like revenge, it makes them feel good about themselves. I know, I work with a dude from Mississippi and he's a smart idiot. He can think, he just chooses not to and says "well, I believe this because I'm from Mississippi" and he hits his wife and 1 1/2 year old child and their relationship sucks and his life is a nightmare.

But he got promoted last week, not because he wanted promotion, just because he wanted more money, and he told them this, now he walks around like he's some kind of God or something.
I'm sure some do, but for others, it's justice for crimes so heinous that the person who committed them deserves to die.

There are families out there who's child was raped and murdered by these people who would probably disagree with you.

Yes, for some people they're going back to their Neanderthal roots and saying "an eye for an eye", they read the Bible, claim to reject the old testament when Jesus' teaching overrule it, and then go straight for "an eye for an eye"...

Nothing like lacking consistency.

I used to be too, but the govt screws so much stuff up I'm not sure they are to be trusted to properly prosecute and convict people to death.

To me, if you don't trust the govt to do anything else well, you shouldn't trust them to execute people.

And I don't.
 
Our prisons house only convicts. You're the one whining about unexecuted convicts.
Yeah, they house convicts. So ? You got a point here somewhere ?:p

And yeah, I do complain about unexecuted convicts - ALONG WITH THE THOUSANDS OF FRIENDS & FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY UNEXECUTED CONVICTS. YOU BONEHEAD.
