Thats not a surprise, the state of Connecticut is a joke. The fact that it took 38 months to get a triple murder case to trial is beyond reprehensible especially considering both of them were caught at the scene of the crime. I do believe though that with the publicity and heinous nature of these crimes that both of them will eventually be executed and justice will be served in this case.0 -

i do not have a misunderstanding at all, and it is not a democrat or republican issue at all. it is a HUMAN issue. just like with wars and the iraq war wikileaks, our leaders would rather pull the trigger and ask questions later. same as with some of these death penalty cases in texas the last few years. same as in the wm3 case. some people would rather see them killed before all of the evidence has been heard. and if that is true in the justice system then that system is absolutely broken.OnTheEdge wrote:I'm pro death penalty for no-brainers. 100% guilty. The notion that we would rather "off" someone rather than admitting something is absurd and really shows your misunderstanding that republicans have on certain issues.
yeah, i know your understanding. It's a HUMAN issue for murderers but not for abortion. :roll:0 -

"i have firmly and clearly stated my position over the course of 80 something pages of this thread. who is digging for direct insults? i am stating my opinion on this topic where if you read back in this thread people have posted poetry about fanticizing about killing prisoners, and have basically gotten off on it and i find that disgusting. it is my opinion that a good number of those people who support the death penalty are sick and have some sort of mental disfunction. if a person supports it i think they are the sick one, not me. if you support the death penalty you support murder, which is the exact same thing the death penalty is supposed to deter and punish people who have murdered. that is it. i would also go as far to state that a good number of people who support capital punishment also crave retribution and revenge. and why is it that the people who are the loudest in advocating capital punishment have no dog in the fight, as in they have not had a family member murdered and are not directly involved in any of these cases....
and we have executed innocent people, and in texas mentally retarded people, and even women. if one innocent person is murdered by the state, the blood is on all of our hands and the system is broken...
nobody has advocated taking ax murderers out of prison or putting them into the general prison population...jeez....how about putting them in 23 hour lockdown in a supermax? yeah that sucks, but at least they will not be put to death in my name with that execution being paid for by my tax dollars."
Dude....you really need to try thinking outside the box.0 -
the whole system is simply too unreliable to do anything that is irreversible. giving the government the absolute power to choose life or death and kill it's citizens is not the smartest move. plus i've already said many times it's barbaric and inhuman. that is not how a civilized society should act. killing to show killing is wrong....
very interesting to see some of the comments in here from people who are loudly avdocating that they want less government involvement in their life in other threads but they are ok with the government having the power to kill it's citizens.0 -

Apparently in California everyone under the age of 18 is considered a child, so following your logic a good percentage of Californians should be classed as child molestors and executed.0 -
