When fetuses grow wings. A quick perusal of this thread now reveals that, yes, I am once again proven correct. I'd be a heck of a lot humbler if I wasn't correct so often.
Is that so?
#1 - I am a conservative - and a quick "perusal" of this thread (and indeed the entire forum dating back to when I began posting here in January 2012) should have demonstrated to you that I am a firm opponent of the death penalty, and most certainly do not want Iran style "justice" to be adopted here. I oppose the existance of law enforcement and advocate for the demolition of prisons.
#2 - I have read this thread and only have seen a few nuts advocating for what Iran does. That does not translate into all conservatives wanting that to take place.
It appears that you have a problem being intellectually honest and/or need a refresher course in either logic or statistics.
You will never be able to create a system that is entirely error proof. It is easy to say that we should only execute those individuals whose guilt is unquestionable, but then you have to define what constitutes such positive proof.
Does a confession coun? I cited David Vasquez of Virginia in a previous post. The man was coerced into giving a false testimony by cops who were less than honest. Facing the death penalty, he pled guilty to a lesser charge and was sentenced to prison. When Timothy Spencer was linked to the crimes which Vasquez had "confessed" to, DNA evidence was used for the first time ever in a criminal case, thanks to Detective Horgas, who had the decency to investigate, follow through, and set an innocent man free.
Mistakes happen, and corrupt cops exist. We will never be able to create a perfect justice system, and that is the best reason why the death penalty should be abolished.
Why risk making a wrong decision that can't be taken back?
i agree there is corruption in high places.... i agree in the past errors were made.
But things are somewhat different now and there are more witness often times and video too boot.
So NO not all killers would make the grade, but 'just one' would be a savings where the resources would be put to better use.

I am waiting for the money that you owe me.
Well like I said before, if you look at the Sharia laws and the political compass...
Paint all firearms pink and the leftist gun grabbers will be satisfied!
It is a variation on communist red, after all - and leftist socialists don't have a history of using guns to impose their will on populations - not at all!
The system does fail when innocent persons such as David Vasquez can go to prison for four years on the basis of a coerced confession which he gave after being interrogated for hours on end and psychologically tormented.
The system does fail when you take into account the tragic stories of the innocent men and women sentenced to death and later exonerated by the hard work of the Innocence Project - and realize that there are likely many other innocent persons occupying our death row, and that some of these unfortunate souls have been executed by our misguided and barbaric capital punishment system.
Yes - the system is failing - what are you going to do about it?
Of those we can prove are murderer's and assorted other violent offenders, well hang em high....... If any were caught on video as the case often has it these days, that is proof positive... Say no more say no more hung in public until death do us part...
I would not want anyone other than those condemned by proof positive to hang.
You know like the 2 bank robbers that had illegal AK-47 in full auto version in the cali shoot out. They both does on the scene....... This punk as Sandy Hook died on the scene too, but if he didn't he would get a noose in my book.
There should be no banning of any guns.... I thyink Dianne should be recalled, arrested and tried in a court of law for Treason and then be hung by the neck until dead for capitol offences.
She is a sworn public servant, and IMO guilty of treason now...... All that remains is to be recalled, arrested charged and tried..... She is guilty of screwing with the CONS.
Hard labor would be better than banning guns, along with giving up colored TV, lifting weights, three free meals and a shower every day. Much could be done to combat crime, too many bleeding hearts let them get away with it.
