Death Penalty

[Bob Kelso]

It solves nothing. Lex Talionis )or "law of the talon", eye for an eye, schoolyard justice etc...) is horseshit. What does it solve to do the same action to the individual(s) who wronged you? Not a damn thing, and like Ryan said innocents can be harmed when a person, or government, is vying for vengeance.

Seriously? Fuck you. Barbarian.

Removing a horrible person from the world is keeping that person from doing more damage. Killing someone doesn't make you "just like them" or whatever. Motivation is everything.

So to remove someone from society you must kill them? Ever heard of prison, mate?

You defend the lives of death row inmates who have murdered people, and you call me a barbarian?

Yes. You're a damned barbarian. You lament over lost forms of execution.

Only a barbarian can defend a man who has murdered his fellow being.

Can you be a bigger idiot? How in the bloody hell does taking a moral stand against state mandated murder as a form of punishment equate to barbarism? Do you understand what 'barbarism' means?

bar·ba·rism
ˈbärbəˌrizəm/Submit
noun
1.
absence of culture and civilization.
"the collapse of civilization and the return to barbarism"
(English and Greek) or television (Greek and Latin).
plural noun: barbarisms
2.
extreme cruelty or brutality.
"she called the execution an act of barbarism"

And amongst them are people as vile as Ted Bundy, he should have been hanged, drawn and quartered, and be made to feel the same pain he had made others feel.

What does that solve?

Did it bring back the people he slaughtered? No.

Did it fill the hole of loss in the victim's family's lives? No.

If anything, execution merely fulfills the purpose of bringing temporary pleasure to those who were indirectly wronged by the murderer. Oh, and to sick little fucks like you.

Instead he received the electric chair, and now you seem to be angry that perhaps people of lesser crimes are receiving the merciful electric chair for their murderous ways?

He, and any other killer detained by the government, should have never been executed in the first place. So yes, I am angry that they're bringing back the chair. Obviously.
