It's time we act civilized and stop executing people

[The Comrade]

this makes me wonder at what point it stops being an execution and starts being torture with the eventual outcome of death.

I mean, i don't think we should honestly go all brazen bull on people or anything. but we have become a nation of pussys. frankly I don't give a shit about the rights of someone who just raped 2 10 year old girls and killed them. On top of that we give them a last meal with good food and shit. Man screw all that. I mean my point being, we aren't talking about a guy who shot his wife when he caught her in bed with another man. we are talking, the worst of the worst. like, .05% of people who commit murder get put on death row. and you have people acting like they are rock stars and deserve second chances.

i was watching a death row documentary and there was this guy who was smoking drugs with this chick and she would not have sex with him, so he raped her, then killed her with a hammer, then raped her again when she was dead. yeah i'd cut his head off. That's not a guy who can be rehabilitated. that's not a guy who deserves a second chance. That's a guy who deserves to have his insides ripped out while he's still alive.

Humanity is nowhere close to moving beyond eye for an eye. We won't see it, our children won't see it, and their children probably won't see it.

it's part of it.

if you're concerned about the humaneness of the situation a choice would work as well as executions.

[Bauce]

A choice? For the convict? I actually don't see a problem there.

I don't think we should be sentencing people to death but if someone is serving life without parole and they'd prefer a quick end instead, I don't see who the loser is if we indulge them. That's just from my view of the universe though. If you're going to live in hellish conditions the rest of your life and never be allowed to leave, I don't see that as a life I want to bother living. I'm sure all the lifers who become hardcore religious fanatics would choose differently.
