Ohio killer to get 2-drug injection untried in US

I don't think killing people is right. However, subhuman scumbags like this guy is a different story. I realize reasonable people fall on both sides of the issue though.

spot on. IMHO, anyone who would rape and kill a pregnant woman doesn't qualify as "people"

So I can just decide someone is scum of the earth and kill them? Sounds reasonable. So exactly how long did you think before you posted that drivel?
 
Obviously you don't have a clue what you're talking about. I don't "judge" homosexuals. Get a clue before you open your ridiculous pie hole.

Oh wait, that's right, you hide behind the bible and just claim it's the bible that judges them. Sorry, even more pathetic reasoning on your part.
 
plus you can harvest the organs for medical reasons. Not so when you gas, fry, shoot or poison a prisoner.

since we are becoming a green society hanging should be used

1) recycle organs of the executed

2) ropes can be used several times

3) doesn't use electricity

4) no danger to the guards of toxic gases

5) no whining pharmaceutical companies-its not like rope makers are gonna know why the bureau of prisons is buying a few dozen yards of sisal or manila rope

We can still use their organs if we don't execute them when they die.

If they commit a horrible enough of a crime, yes.

no, but if they prove they are scum of the earth by raping and kiling someone, feel free to treat them like the rabid animal they have shown themself to be.

Wrong again. There you go talking about that which you have no idea again. You really shouldn't talk unless you know what you're talking about. You really look foolish.
 
You should judge yourself and the reason for your blood lust.

I do judge my actions, I take a look at the pain the victims and the pain the families have gone through. Do you even care? Nope.

I can see it now, the criminal gets sent to jail for life. And because the criminal is strong enough and tough enough, he lives a life of luxury without any remorse while ChrisL is content with that.

Of course I care. Stop trying to "judge" me. You know nothing about me. I can't even believe I have to say this. It's completely ridiculous. One more comment from you about me, and I'm reporting you. Stick to the topic.
 
Now, as I was saying, there is no reason to kill these people. We can lock them up, and they are separated from society. I do think that a life term should be a life term though, and no more letting murderers out on parole. I don't see that there is a dire need to execute people anymore. Back in the old days when we lacked facilities and courts, etc., then they kind of didn't have many options, but now we do.

A threat? LOL

Sorry but I will repeat myself again.....I can see it now, the criminal gets sent to jail for life. And because the criminal is strong enough and tough enough, he lives a life of luxury without any remorse while ChrisL is content with that.

How much did you think about it before you made that absurd comparison. What do you think he was drug before Pontius Pilate and sentenced to death after a 10 minute mock trial? He was tried before a jury of his peers. Then since he was convicted and sentenced to death based on a mountain of evidence, he then received an automatic appeal. He lost that and all subsequent attempts. Now, some 24 years after the crime occurred, after he has exhausted all his legal avenues, his death sentence will finally be carried out.

So yeah, I feel comfortable in saying that if anyone should get the death penalty, this guy should.

Well, since you deem yourself fit to pass judgment on people you don't even know on the internet, it's not surprising that you would just want to kill people without reason or logic too. :roll:

There is no need. The death penalty is more expensive and time consuming. We can lock these people up away from society, and that is sufficient. That way, we don't have to stoop to their level by killing.

Tell me what about my scenario is incorrect? There are murderers in prison living lives of luxury because they are strong and tough enough. You support that instead of a death penalty.

Yes, and we try to leave emotion out of our trials, just because of this reason. Our trials and sentencing are based upon facts alone and not hysterics. Unfortunately, we have a lot of people who are not capable of putting their emotions aside and looking at things in a logical manner when it comes to crime and punishment.

Our justice system is not and should not be based upon revenge. Sorry.

Also, here is a list of the countries we keep company with by utilizing the death penalty. ALL other countries have outlawed it because it is barbaric and unnecessary. Please educate yourself on the topic. Find out if you feel it is worth the potential execution of innocent people because of your desire for revenge.

And your way rewards criminals when they are in prison. Wow, what a punishment for their actions right?

Oh, ok, so I need the agreement of a few of my fellow citizens before I can just kill whomever I please. Got it.
 
Yes....they shouldn't play God either. But this doesn't excuse governmental killings.

Well Disney, I don't take the death penalty lightly. That is why I strongly believe in the accused having every opportunity to prove their innocence. I don't understand the type of evil, hatred, vengeance that some will allow to consume them. I don't know how anyone could hurt a child or brutally rape another or have such little respect for life in general and for "fun" take another out just for the sport. I dare say I often wonder if they are possessed with evil spirits that allows them to do such heinous things. Regardless, we have a percentage of ruthless bastards that live among us and in my opinion, the minute they cause another to take their last breath is the day they lost the right to breathe their next.
 
And what rewards would those be?

If they are tough and strong enough, they run the prisons on the inside and live a life of luxury.
 
I dont oppose the death penalty but a lethal injection of drugs that has never been tested seems wrong.

I agree. This seems really ****ed up and experimentational.
