I was just asking a question, I didn't infer anything.
I don't think it's a separate issue at all. Keeping murderers in prison puts others at risk. It's a fact, you can't deny that. You can argue the level of risk and whether or not it is acceptable risk, but it certainly adds risk.hippiemom = goodness0 -
practically on a daily basis and for 30 odd years my dad was at war with these evil beasts.
he had his nuts kicked in so many time i can't count.
piss, shit, and cum is filled in milk cartons and thrown on officers.
officers are beat with industrial mop ringers to within an inch of their lives.
escorting monsters to take a shower every other day or to exercise every other day is a nightmare.
they are locked up in a cell for 23 hours a day, 7 days a week.
do you think they are nice people?
they want to kill, rape, and torture until the day they die.
because dad was who he was, his and his family's lives were threatened almost on a daily basis.
the iowa state patrol surrounded our house once during a prison break.
the inmate wanted to rape our mother, gouge our eyes out and slice all our throats before burning our home to the ground.
do you believe the iowa state patrol and my dad were nice to this maniac when they caught up with him only a short distance from our home?

uhhh ... again - what the heck does that have to do with anything? ... tell me how not believing in capital punishment is:
a) saying we want guards to be at risk and
b) saying prisons are safe or not safe
maybe if you explained why you think it's such a good thing or address the concerns people have posted instead of just figuring out a thousand ways you would kill someone - maybe we could have some insight into your opinion ... i look forward to that because up until then - you haven't said much ...0 -

you are infering that people who are opposed to capital punishment believe security guards should be at risk ... you are basically saying:
oppose capital punishment = ok for prison guards to be at risk
it's like me saying ... you like sharks? ... therefore you are ok with surfers dying from sharks ... they are two separate things ...
opposing capital punishment has nothing to do with our viewpoints on security at prisons ...0 -

Death Row Inmate Gets Chance To Prove Innocence
by Kathy Lohr
- June 23, 2010
............
Saw this story this morning and thought it was relevant. Thoughts?
But I feel he should only get the basic necessities. No TV, no radio. Just food, bed, and a toilet.
Are you saying you think they should revoke his death penalty sentence?0 -

I care about everyone. I think it's part of our humanity and "our species ultimate goal," to quote another thread. I think to dehumanize others is to dehumanize ourselves - so there's a selfish reason for you if you need one.ed243421 wrote:where do you want these people?
In prison.
So, you are ok with putting prison guards and other prisoners at risk from some seriously violent people?
No. My cousin is a prison guard and my dad used to work at a prison and my friend got nearly killed in a prison riot. I think we need total prison reform. The death penalty doesn't get rid of violence in prisons anyway.0 -

scb
that is how chadwick expresses his anger towards murderers
i understand that
he is a much better person than any murderer
don't you agree?
You didn't answer the question. I can't really comment about whether chadwick is a better person than any murderer - I don't know him, and it's not really for me to judge anyway. For all I know, he may be a murderer himself.0 -

on the contrary.
i knew my brothers and i were protected by the ole man and our mom.
in fact, what it did do was instill great values and respect into each of us.
it taught us to not fuck around with the evils of mankind.
a bullet into the pea brain of evil is swift justice.
wait... i thought i left this thread :?
btw, childhood for us was amazing.
the only time we were affraid was when we would fight one another with crude blunt weaponry.for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

i will tell you what i murder.
i murder the green buds i inhale almost on a daily basis.
i can kill a bong hit faster than you can blink your innocent little eyes.
they are burnt to death as a sacrifice and inhaled for my soul's insight.
i do not kill flies, ants, or any other bugs.
no spiders are smashed in my home ever.
i would never harm an animal.
snakes and other reptiles are worshipped.
when a child molester or some low life is put to death
i sleep like a baby dreaming of cloud castles in the sky.
