Tove Lo 2,481 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 it's proven several times that life sentence would be cheaper. Either way, sometimes prisons can still not be that bad. It's better just to get people like him off the Earth. hop on that **** like a maniac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I used to support the death penalty because I was brought up thinking it was "justice." But over the last 3 years I find I'm against it because the government, or anyone, SHOULD NOT have the right to choose whether someone lives or dies. It is barbaric and I'd rather have these monsters in prison for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uranus 150 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 He most likely won't actually die for MANY MANY years. This was a federal trial. Different from state. There are currently 62 people on federal death row. Only 3 have been executed since 1988. Ah right, I understand - That's not so bad, but I still stick by what I've said though don’t you know my a** is famous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainiac 11,171 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I mean it's crazy to me that we give governments the power to sanction life and death.The government doesn't have any power when it comes to the sentencing phase. 100% of the power is in the hands of the jury. His life is literally in their hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstreak 6,653 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The government doesn't have any power when it comes to the sentencing phase. 100% of the power is in the hands of the jury. His life is literally in their hands. It's still government sanctioned. It's our current federal judicial system that allows for that to be a possibility.

Redstreak 6,653 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I mean she tweeted that now he'll go away, as if she thinks he'll die tomorrow. All this sentence does is keep him in the public eye for years to come. Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainiac 11,171 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 This is what makes me mad. Absolutely no remorse. Many times I'm against the death penalty but there are a few exceptions. The barbaric nature of his crime along with this lack of remorse makes me feel he deserves to die Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting someone to death isn't ethical no matter how much hatred you have for that individual. In your opinion. It seems like the government has finally realised the majority of the public are tired of seeing minimal punishments for people who tried and kill us by blowing us up. And I'm sorry but ethics and humanity don't apply to someone who has acted as inhuman as they do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
