[RichardE]

Being on Death Row certainly makes you turn to religion.

So much for the all people on death row are black people theories.

Wow...what a fine bunch of X-Tians we have here...I'll bet those of you who were the most vocal about how great it is to execute them, and do it fast, are probably "pro-life" and anti-abortion supporters....Kind of a strong contradiction IMO...Pro-Life AND Pro Death Penalty...
Must be Republicans...

How can you correlate the desire to keep all unborn humans alive to the desire to execute convicted criminals? That doesn't make any sense.

Or, could it be that Ron is a known Republican and you just wanted to rip on republicans?

 

[BoomerD]

Ron who?

Killing is killing. period. You can't be cavalier about one, and up in arms about the other...
FYI, I'm NOIT anti-death penalty, in fact, I think it needs to be used MORE, but I'm also NOT anti-abortion. I can't have one, so it's not my business if a woman has one or not...nor is it amy man's business if a woman has one. (except perhaps his wife or daughter) Otherwise, MYOB...leave that decision to the woman involved.

Ronstang was the only person who really was gunhoe about the issue while mentioning the speed.

The death of a human can and does so many circumstances, not everyone can lump their believes to one side without looking at the facts.

That's who was executed. About 42% of all death row inmates (USA) are black and about 46% are white. 12.3% of the population is black and 75% is white. You can assume one of two things... either blacks are much likelier to be murderers, or the system does treat defendants of different races differently. Or at least it did. One only has to look at Federal Sentencing for crack cocaine vs. powder cocaine to figure it out.

Idiot.

There is a huge difference between innocent life and people who have made the choice to commit an act that requires them to forfiet their own. To comapre the two and find them equal is stupid.

But nice attempt at a thread hijack. :thumbsup:

LOL thats rich. So by your logic since I am pro-life if I am home alone and 2 people break into my house I should let them kill me because if I kill both of them 2 people die instead of one? I mean, I am pro-life right? So obviously its rediculous if they have to die, right? Its not like they could have controlled that, right? You can't lump things together like that.

Mark for later that will take some time to read.

Some of these guys are just crazy. I mean come on dude. You already found $500 in cash, why didn't you just leave? She was 68yo!

Go Brazos County. They don't let the losers waste tax money too long there by sitting on death row for very long. THIS POS was juiced after only 4 years. Nice job. I looked at some others from Brazos and they were pretty quick too most within 7 years of the offense. Good job. :thumbsup:

waste tax money? it costs more tax money to appeal their sentences to every court than to put them to death. let them sit and think about their fate in my own opinion.

Not if their gone that quickly it doesn't. I bet most of the ones executed rather quickly had such overwhelming evidence the appeal was merely a formality. There is no other explanaiton when it is only 4 years from offense to death.

Yeah, quick execution always means the person was guilty. WTF are you smoking? The *other* explanation that you missed was that they were railroaded, or that evidence existed that pointed to them, yet they still didn't commit the crime. Innoncent people being executed is nothing new. Not even in 2006.

right, penn & teller had some good arguments. i still believe in death penalty as a form of punishment, but only in cases where you're sure the guy did it. for example, that scum that raped, killed, buried that VCU girl recently.

Psycho.

Dude that sux. She's kinda hot. What a waste of a nice body.

WTF.....his family claims he's innocent on the website and that his execution is unjust, but then if you read his section he says he's guilty and doesnt know where he went wrong. This is what I don't get about families, if your kid says he's guilty freakin believe him.

BRING BACK THE IRON MAIDEN! I think we should burn people at the stake rather than this wimpy lethal injection crap!

I've met a man who had been on death row for 22 years before being exonerated based on DNA evidence.

My conclusion is that killing murderers who are already behind bars and away from the public isn't worth the risk of killing an innocent person.

We are on a roll with the doom and gloom1

looks like most of them had remorse and repentence. still it's sad they committed such an atrocious act that they had to meet that kind of demise.

Does it really make a difference though? 22 years behind bars, his life is already ruined.

Where there's life, there's hope. Once a prisoner is executed, there is no way to correct errors in his prosecution.

He's only in his 40's. He's travelled across the country and to europe since getting out of jail. He still has a lot of life left.

But yes, it has got to be extremely difficult to adjust to the world after being told you're going to die for a crime you didn't commit for 22 years.

You know, people who murder also sometimes get life imprisonment. How is that fair when people guilty of the same crimes die?

Who cares about being fair to a murderer? So long as they all suffer I don't really care.

yeah! because killing is wrong!.................
