I think I have already made it very clear that when it comes to cold blooded murder I don't think anything short of death is acceptable. For anything less than murder no. I'm not saying rape those that rape or torture someone that tortures animals. This is only about intentional murder.
Why should murderers be killed themselves? What purpose does it serve other than making an emotional, vengeful point? I wouldn't want to live in a system that bases it's law on emotion and revenge.
That's not even considering the facts that the death penalty does not work as a deterrent, has the possibility of executing innocent people, is a horrible violation of human rights, is slow, inefficient, and expensive, and that we are the only western developed nation to still use it.
I've already said why, twice now. I get it, we disagree. To me it's not about money so I don't care if it is more expensive. And I'm not worried about it being a deterrent. People that kill don't go oh I shouldn't kill because I will get killed. Most do it because they don't think they will get caught, nothing will deter that way of thinking so throwing that into the pile seems a moot point. Didn't say the system wasn't faulty in killing the innocent, didn't say we didn't need to work on fixing it. But I want it there for people like Mr. Roof. There is no doubt what he did and there is no doubt that he deserves to join his victims in death. I disagree it is a ciolation of human rights because Roof forfeited those rights the moment he took another life. Slow in how long they actually take to die or slow process to get them the injection? Only western nation to still use it... hmmmm yeah that doesn't bother me at all. You say it like it's a legit reason to stop summin. So if everyone banned the burka we should too? Hmmmm no.
