Do you think the US will ever execute someone for a crime that does not involve loss of life. Such as petty theft, tax evasion, etc.
 
I say yes, especially with a Republican controlled Congress and Senate. And Obama supports the death penalty so he would sign a bill like this into law. Also the US is much more conservative than it was 20 years ago. We're going backward, not forward.
 
Never happen.

No, you're wrong. The Republican controlled Congress and Senate will expand the death penalty to non violent crimes. And Obama will sign it into law.
 
Troll thread is obvious.

Azgreg is right, sentiment for the death penalty is continuing to fall.

If the US ever tried to execute people for petty misdemeanors and such then I guarantee you, everyone would rise up against the government, whether they're libertarian or socialists or liberals or conservatives.

No they wont. Politicians don't have the stomach for it. Do you have a cite for your claim or just a desire for the state to kill people?

I'm 100% against the death penalty. But Republicans love it!

Prove it. By the way, do you always come into online forums to do your 8th grade social studies work?

Republicans are the reason why there is a federal death penalty. What more proof do you need.

They already do, treason is a capital crime. Try to keep up.

Capitol punishment came to America with the British long before there were such things as Democrats and Republicans. The first established death penalty dates back to the 18th century BC. Tell Mrs. Crotchet your 8th grade social studies teacher to try again.

The death penalty was brought back in 1976 and mainly used in Republican states such as Texas and Oklahoma.

Breach of constitutional law? Breaking election promises?
 
It's interesting how the US has wrongfully executed people, but no one seems to care. So basically in America you can get executed for committing no crime at all.
