The Left - “The death penalty is wrong”

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.
So just to be clear, do you want all convicts executed or not? We're discussing executions, aren't we?
 
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.

So, your opinion is, the people who have committed crimes of an extremely heinous and violent nature, should be granted the ability to live. The families of these crimes have to know that the criminal will be allowed to live, while their child is dead or scarred for life.

Got it ...
 
Clearly, you did not understand the question, if you think your response answered it.
Hint: the question asked for a comparison.

Illiterate dumbass.
No problem. I understand it might be too complex for the average cult member. They are both barbaric, but for different reasons. Which is worse depends on what criteria you use. I'm not sure if the sudden, unexpected murder of a stranger for what most would consider no valid reason (as if there could be a valid reason) is worse than if the state, after intentional deliberation, decides to kill someone who might be innocent. Both are horrendous, but for different reasons.

You don't think the real possibility that the state would kill an innocent person is horrendous?

So, after all this.... you admit you can't tell us which is worse.
 
For that question to have any meaning, you have to quantity "real possibility".
More than 200 people have been proven to be innocent after being sentenced to death. Many of them were proven innocent after their execution.
here are just a few of those cases
In 2015, the Justice Department and the FBI formally acknowledged that nearly every examiner in an FBI forensic squad overstated forensic hair matches for two decades before the year 2000.[55][56] Of the 28 forensic examiners testifying to hair matches in a total of 268 trials reviewed, 26 overstated the evidence of forensic hair matches and 95% of the overstatements favored the prosecution. Defendants were sentenced to death in 32 of those 268 cases.

The executions of Nathaniel Woods, Dustin Higgs, and Troy Davis have been cited by some as possible cases of wrongful executions.
 
Over what span of time?
Out of how many death sentences?

Quantify "many".
more than 200 freed from death row since 1973. Read link for more info on some who were cleared after execution. That actual number is unknowable. Further investigation of innocence usually ends upon death.

If you cannot quantify the terms your argument, there's no way to judge the soundness of your position..
Looks like you need to get busy.

I don't need to know the total number to know that we should not be executing people. It's proven that innocent people have been executed, and fairly recently. One is too many, especially when the alternative of keeping them locked up forever is so much cheaper and easier.
 
What's that? The facts - all the facts - don't matter to you?
Gosh. I'm surprised.

Demofks can't do facts. Their lack of brain waves makes it impossible for them!

We both know that is not what I said. What I've presented is more than enough to understand that state executions are wrong. If you have further, conflicting information, I'll be happy to consider it
