Capital Punishment

RE: Capital Punishment
Why? Those guarantees don't reduce crime.

I totally get the idea of capital punishment as how we feel when we consider whatever it is that we think is truly evil and depraved, but given your comments above, you also seem to understand that this reaction isn't good policy.

I think that it might be more accurate to say that you aren't for capital punishment, but that in your heart of hearts you hope assholes get what's coming to them and more.

Zero recidivism rate. That works like a motherfucker.

More than a few people have been executed for committing no crime, there was no possibility of recidivism, and I fail to see how killing a murderer stops them from killing in a way that locking them up doesn't.

This is being contextualized improperly. Nothing that a killer does is the issue. Killers gonna kill. The issue is not them, it's what we do. We're the executioners. Their acts are reprehensible, perhaps unforgivable, and maybe some of them can't be redeemed. They're fucked up people and nobody cares about them, any harm or punishment that could be imagined would fit -them-.

-is that also true of us?

If a man threw down his rifle, and was in the brig...on what rationale would you then shoot him?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
