It is a question of society's right to kill him. I believe we have no such right. In the case referred to, a man aged 42 has been sentenced to 40 years. If he serves his full sentence he may never be released. Every day of the rest of his life, he can think about what he did and why he is behind bars. Isn't that a better punishment than putting him to death? meanwhile every day for the next 80 yrs, this kid gets to re-live everything they did to him. Nope, I still think it would be better for all concerned if they killed the bloke ... at least then the kid would know there is one monster under his bed who is never coming back. thats already true. again., all you want - all you DP-supporters ever want - is DEATH and BLOOD. you cant even make a conherent cogent argument for the DP beyond bloodlust that's exactly right, in these cases, I want blood .... I'll leave the arguments for you. By the way, I notice you avoided answering my question . If after he, or any other pedo, has served his sentence & moves in next door to your grandkids would you object? its moot because he isnt getting out. And I dont have the problem of a guilty conscience of executing criminals who may not all be actually guilty. Thats a problem you refuse to address. ahh, I notice now you keep your answer limited to him, whereas before you were worried about the innocent ... Ok, would you have been happy if Dennis Ferguson or any other pedo , upon his release from prison (and before dying), moved in next door to your grandkids? As for the guilty conscience bullsh1t, I doubt it would bother me too much. As long as my intentions are honest, I accept that I cannot control everything and understand that mistakes are made and I am prepared to live with that. ah the irony! YOU are prepared to 'live with it'. Pity the poor innocent bugger executed. As predicted, this is all about YOU and your bloodlust and has zero to do with justice of any kind. of course it's about justice .... but you asked me to address my supposed guilty conscience ... now you want me to tell you about the victims conscience? wow... you really dont understand arguments very well do you? or you don't maybe understand how to present a question properly? ... you asked about my conscience and then complain that it is about me and not the victim ... you're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you? Not to worry, despite that, you still are a tool well let me clarify it with the simple question that I can almost guarantee you wont answer directly.
What rate of error in executing the guilty are you prepared to accept and still support the death penalty?
as many as it takes. you want me to present a number? that's not how it works dopey .... as long as the system does everything it can to try and keep the number to a minimum, that is all anyone can ask so if 10 people a year are executed and 3 are innocent you are okay with that? as long as everyone did everything their jobs properly, yes. Ummm, John, isn't THIS about executing the innocent? Including, possibly your own son?
