OK but what the father who has kids to feed and then loses his job because of a shitty, unethical boss, and ends up killing the boss out of rage because of the burden the jobless father has.Quote:
Armed robbery
Rape
Heinous assault
Murder
People who do these things shouldn't be breathing
I can't say I would treat him the same as a guy who robs and kills some old lady.

We should have killed this worthless piece of shit :mad:
Because we all trust government workers to do the right thing, that's why the DMV is so grand. But yeah lets kill people because we think they did something because we have these gut feelings and we're all hardcore face shooters.

38 mother****ing years. :mad:
This guys needs a million dollars for every year served. All in one lump sum.
Any one involved in his prosecution needs to see 38 years of a prison.Quote:

As I've said earlier, I have no opinion on the person originally discussed in this thread.
I'm simply responding to the cries that we should kill everyone bs. I guess it's my job being the so called "liberal" because I prefer not to make a critical viewpoint based on raw emotion.
Who doesn't want to see some one accused of murder taken out back and shot? The question is how can you be sure the guilt of the person is unequivocal instead of equivocal, because the killing of and innocent person is the very reason we judge them and we would be committing the same crime to judge them wrongly. And this has happened more times than will ever be known, because the environment of our judicial system is for a prosecutor to convict no matter the guilt as their reputation and job requires them to do so.

there's very little evidence that the death penalty actually deters criminals. If you're willing to commit a capital crime you either don't think you'll get caught, or don't care what happens to you.
empowering citizens to defend themselves on the other hand can stop these sorts of crimes before they happen.
it sounds like the prison in the original post needs some serious rethinking of their security.
Mr. Smiles can you provide some documentation where a convicted death row inmate was executed then posthumously exonerated?
Only time I remember that happening was in The Life of David Gale with Kevin Spacey but maybe I missed the story.
