@Common Sense

Again, our legal system is imperfect. As long as capital punishment is legal, a non-zero number of innocent people *will* die for crimes they did not commit.

Again, the only way to make capital punishment cheaper than life in prison is to rush it, including overriding the appeals process. Which results in more innocent people dying.

Again, what benefits do you see behind executing people over incarcerating them? And how many innocent people are you willing to sacrifice to make that happen?

I think our society is absolutely crazy right now. The only people prospering are attorneys. I see attorney billboards for hundreds of miles they are the worst people and look for ways to exploit people’s pain for financial gain. There are attorneys on this post who lecture people and they lack common sense. Lethal injection done in a timely manner saves money. Keeping them alive to die naturally is not justice.

REGARDING:
“the only thing dummer than believing in such ideology is to argue with someone about it”

I do many dumb things.

I don’t expect those committed to other viewpoints to change them, but those undecided might want to consider more than just one viewpoint.

If people ignore the blowing trumpet, that’s on them.
If I don’t try to blow the thing, that’s on me.
(I blow it a lot.)

David for truth, I want to tell you a little story.
A young man from the wrong side of town, a black man, joined the Air Force. He became a pilot and an officer and died in Colorado Springs as a 2 star General.
He was Chappie James, born and raised in Pensacola..
He was assigned to an AFB in Ohio in his early days. He and several young Officers
went to the Officers Club one night. They were a little cocky that night and didn’t like the fact that Blacks had to enter thru the back door, so they entered thru the unforbidden front entrance. They were arrested and taken to the Brigg. An important classified top-secret report had to be flown to the Pentagon. The only qualified pilot for that plane to be used was Chappie James. Re was released from jail, flew the mission and then put back in jail when he returned.
There are many more examples where when, they applied themselves made a
good life. I worked with many in the Air Force. The only monies that needs spent is on training and developing family units. Where there is no hope, crime ensues. The lack ofGod in all our lives is the other main issue.

@Bewildered

There is a positive correlation between low poverty and low crime. When people aren’t desperate enough to resort to desperate measures to provide for their families, the crime rate drops.

No one is talking about government provided cleaning services. We’re talking about the reality that the best way to reduce crime is through reducing cost of living.

While we argue about taxes, welfare, inequality, and people innocently being put to death, I’m going to advocate for the death penalty here bc….he, the suspect, admitted to it, told leo where to pick him up, etc. Point blank, he admitted it. Witnesses accounted for it. Give trial, convict and lights out. Take as little of my hard earned rising taxes and take care of business. I’m working three jobs to just to stay afloat.

I always get a kick out of David Huie Green‘s rose colored view of events. Have the government pay everyone at least $100,000 yearly, no strings attached, have meals delivered to their houses, send in house cleaners, take care of their laundry and keep their numerous girl friends away from each other and all is well. Maybe this works on another planet….

One cannot count the times when murderers plead out and avoided a long drawn out trial simply because the murderous cowards did not want to receive the ultimate punishment. The death penalty has saved millions of dollars in legal fees and trial costs not to mention the agony love ones would have faced while reliving the murder of their love ones in a long exasperating trial!

@David

I think we agree: as long as we have both capital punishment and an imperfect legal system, a non-zero number of innocent people are going to be wrongfully convicted and executed.

If someone advocates for the death penalty, I want to know how many innocent people they are comfortable with killing for a punishment that, as far as I can tell, has no practical benefits.

Hey David for truth. Rest assured that there is video of this guy parking his car, walking inside , searching for his target, pulling the gun, killing her and fleeing. No need for witnesses. Go back to your moms basement now.
