Honestly… Im against the death penalty, but if you decide to go that way as a country just be honest with yourself and allow death by firing squad.
I was just about to say the same thing. I think a lot of things in society would be different if we were actually honest and actually saw the real state of things. Firing squad is humane (if you have to do the non-humane thing of killing someone in the first place) and honest.
First off, I am not a vegetarian or a vegan, but I believe we all should see and know where our meat, eggs and dairy comes from, and exactly how it is produced. I believe we would either improve the lives of those animals a lot, or reduce the consumption of animal based food.
Read enough about lethal injection and I might take the bullets too. I mean given a choice.
Crazy to read it 2025 regardless.
Found this while reading “In reference to this issue, Jay Chapman, the creator of the American method, said, “It never occurred to me when we set this up that we’d have complete idiots administering the drugs””
Or we could just abolish the death penalty
Nothing is gained from a death. Not even the satisfaction of revenge or closure, as the crime doesn’t undo itself. Some people may say they feel vindicated, but they are still mourning their loved one either way.
Now imagine if keeping a murderer alive enables learning why the events happened, and something is learned to help prevent other potential murders from happening. That is far more satisfying.
You are correct. My favorite argument against the death penalty is this: what if we are wrong about who committed the crime? If we were ever wrong even one time, that’s indefensible and horrific. Thing is, we know we’ve been wrong about many criminals.
Unfortunately there’s plenty of people who are perfectly fine with that. When given evidence of it happening before, they’ll go oh “it won’t happen here” or “it won’t happen again”. How do you convince people like them that simply don’t care for the value of life? Of course a number of these are also “pro-lifers”.
My favorite one is that we kill people who have killed, so we can show that killing people is bad.
I love how Article 3 of the declaration of human rights says
Everyone has the right to life
and then states just kill people. Like, why did we even bother to write it down?
Yeah that’s
…hhh that’s a problem with guns too…
I’ll trust 3 idiots with guns over whoever is mixing that cocktail. Won’t drown in my own fluids while being unable to yell out.
Idiots with guns are what made this nation! Lol
Yeah I’m pretty sure idiots with slaves made this country
They had guns, too.
But McMaster denied the clemency plea. No governor has ever commuted a death sentence in the state
Just admit that you are a sadistic piece of shit living in a sadistic shithole and that it’s not about justice but about revenge and cruelty.
So much for the “true christians”… It’s sad that hell doesn’t exist. You all would be rotting there for eternity.
Jesus Christ himself famously stopped an execution and said it was wrong. And was later executed by the state.
That’s book Jesus.
Book Jesus is a dirty DEI socialist according to American conservatives. They want Fox News Jesus. The one that thinks children should go hungry and that gay people are enemies of the state. You know, real conservative values.
Acting like a grotty, backward, small-minded country again.
Acting?
Don’t even flyover state.
