Death Penalty

[Bob Kelso]

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

I do, for they did the job, didn't they? And quite effectively so, sent a message to others.

Like I said, you're a fucking barbarian.

And what good is there with the state feeding murderers with the money of the taxpayers, until they expire?
Why should the family of a victim pay for this?
Pay to let the killer of a loved one dine at their expense?

So because you don't like the thought of them living on taxpayer money you want to kill them? You're disgusting.
Let's remember the purpose of prison, it separates the criminals from the rest of society as a form of protection and punishment. It requires money to do this.

Justice demands life for life.
There is a scale, and it must remain in balance. If the perpetrator lives, the scale is not n balance. He/she has taken life, but paid nothing in return.

So you adhere to lex talionis justice, great, life imprisonment fills that "life for a life" bullshit too. The prisoner loses their freedom, sure, people like you don't feel like that's enough but that's because you're small minded and bloodthirsty.

You do not know the meaning of justice.

No, I know what justice means, I just despise your interpretation of what justice demands.

You are nothing more than a mere fool, that clinges to the arguments of other fools.

Wrong again, my arguments have been my own. The fact that my arguments walk in step with others who hold the same opinion of the death penalty is of no consequence, my words and thoughts are my own.

I just hope that no such thing happens to you, and you have a loved one brutally murdered by another, as to later on lament on the fact that he/she still lives another day, while the victim cries out from the earth demaning blood for blood.

Is that really the best you have? Pathetic.

Also, I'm not sure how I would react in such a situation, though I can assume that I wouldn't be of sound mind to make a rational or moral decision. That's one of the reasons why the law isn't left to the victim's families. Oh, and if I do have a loved one that's killed by some psychopath they won't be demanding anything, they'll be fucking dead.
