Death Penalty in the United States

[badbadboy]

Isn't that kinda similar to how they all have mind blowing oral skill, a coke can thick cock and can fuck for 54.6 minutes straight?

You forgot about how when they walk past women on Robson Street that the sidewalk is slippery with women's natural juices wanting to get them in bed ound:

Go KeyBoard Commando's Go!

It's admirable that all these people are saying they have no problem with a person dying to satisfy their personal need for justice. Personally, I choose Life Sentences because our justice system is fallible and there are many documented cases of wrongful judgement.

I doubt anyone posting here would ever pull the switch, push the injection button, pull the hangman's noose over someone's head or put a bullet in someone. That's for the internet tough guys who never get their hands dirty.

I know cops who have pulled their triggers and Canadian Soldiers who have killed people.

They will tell you that you never forget killing someone and I can testify that they are changed people as a result.

Yes, you really need details?

I think that uncleg (and others) perhaps believes that at least the last item in the string might be untenable given the number of veterans about in the land and the non-specificity of the statement as to the circumstances under which someone here might have put a bullet into another person. That and I personally don't have that level of certainty about the emotional make up of at least some of the folks that have posted here over the years.

What's untenable? If you know someone who has been involved in a violent act where a person has died their thoughts and feelings are invalid? ( who are the others by the way?? )

I have friends who are former RCMP and Military who would never participate here who are changed people as a result of what they were required to do as part of their job. I have known them for many years.

People saying they can easily push a switch who have never done so as part of their job really diminish what people do that have that as their job description. That is what disturbs me about how glibly people can say they are 100% in favour of Capital Punishment.

David Grossman, a military psychologist, wrote a well researched and very knowledgeable study of what armies must do to alter a person's mindset so that he (the soldier) can actually kill in time of war or necessity ("On Killing"). In other words, killing does not come naturally to new soldiers. On the same topic, re hanging, I once read a book about English hangmen over a period of two/three centuries. I'm sorry, I can't recall the name of this volume but I do distinctly remember that the problems included not only selecting the right rope for the size of body to be hanged but also tying the noose properly while taking into consideration the length of the drop. Serious mishaps occurred. Most of all, it became very difficult to find hangmen because the job, over a period of time, became dreadful and, as a result, more than a few hangmen became alcoholics, outcasts and some committed suicide. I do not know if this situation and behaviour are culture specific, however. I do not know, for instance, if the same holds true in Iran where the the "guilty" party's neck is tied to a huge crane and moved gradually upwards (with his family forced to look on) so that he strangles slowly to death. I have viewed this on YouTube in illustrations of articles by the Gatestone Institute. Gruesome. I have also read that in Saudi Arabia the normal means of death is by the sword. I have seen photos of the swordsmen. One swordsman was quoted as saying that he had no problem returning home after a beheading and then enjoying a good dinner with his family. He was quite proud of his work.

Just got back from several years in a place where human lives had very little value.

I am definitely against capital punishment.

If you really want it, you should start with capital punishment for impaired drivers. Probably lots more people killed by them than in pre-planned murder. If you use the argument that capital punishment is in society's interest, then use it where it will do the most good.

what's your point...how about capital punishment for impaired drivers and pre-planned (sic) murderers.

 

[grusse]

badboy write he knows RCMP&soldiers who suffer the after-effects of taking a life,even though it was likely self-defence.
no argument with that, and I hope they can find the peace of mind they deserve.

my question to badboy.....do you know anyone who is spouse/relative/close friend of a murder victim?
their lives are ruined by the murderer and I wonder if they would have any reservations about pulling a trigger or throwing
a switch?

Thanks for the chuckle, "manni".
