Does anyone know what's going on around the Lexington Park Post Office?

So you'd rather have said family member rot in prison for the rest of their miserable life rather than get it over with quickly?

Yes, I would rather have a human being in jail for life vs. the premeditated and cold-blooded killing of a human being by the state in the name of justice.

BTW, are you suggesting that "getting it over quickly" is less worse than life in prison? If so, it kinda helps my argument to abolish the death penalty!

 

[Masey]

Nah she would rather us have to pay taxes on the idiot!

I’ve not sunk to your immature, romper-room name calling level neither in this thread nor in karma comments...do you think you could do the same? And please, if you have something substantive to say, post it.

 

[Masey]

Why do people sit on death row for so long? I never understood that.

Appeals.

One - Why spare a life when they didn't bother to spare the life of their victim(s)?

Two - It would save a lot of taxpayer's money vs. throwing 20+ years of money down the drain caring for a useless piece of so-called humanity.

Yes; shipping, stamps, and packaging.

Honestly, I don't know... and it would also depend upon the circumstances involved. If it was somthing like this then, yes, I would consider hiring an attorney.

Well, that guy shouldn't have been found guilty of anything because it appears that the dead guy attacked him and he was just defending himself.

What I'm trying to find out is if your motive would be to stick up for your kid, or if it's simple an anti-death penalty stance that you would take with anyone.

My favorite is when the killers are sentenced to death and start crying and begging and pleading for their life. Im sorry, Im sure that as the victim was pleading for their life, you didnt care. Fry b!tch. RIP Gus. You will be missed.

Where did the saying "an eye for an eye" come from?

Oops! I am sorry. This is about the psychopathic nitwit who killed someone in cold blood and should be fried.

Obviously (maybe only to me), its definitely an anti-death penalty stance.

Where did the saying "an eye for an eye" come from?

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Meaning

The notion that for every wrong done there should be a compensating measure of justice.

Origin

From the Code of Hammurabi. Hammurabi was King of Babylon, 1792-1750BC. The code survives today in the Akkadian language. Used in the Bible, Matthew 5:38:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

Yet, you stated that the death penalty is un-Christian?

I'm Catholic. Do you know anything on the Catholic teachings regarding this subject?

 

[BS Gal]

Nothing at all. I guess it would fall right into their no birth control, no abortion, no sex for priests policy. Don't even get me started on that.

Are the Catholic teachings different from what the Bible says?

Has everyone gone to St marys today and signed the condolences guest book for Gus.

You believe that no crime is worthy of forfeiting one's life for. While I don’t agree with that view I can accept it, but I believe that certain crimes do demand death and when it is proven beyond reasonable doubt the guilty should be executed. There should be absolute irrefutable evidence that the person did in fact commit the crime and in cases where only circumstantial evidence was used to get a conviction it should never result in a death sentence.

I also believe that once a sentence is imposed that there should be no early release for good behavior and that we have minimum mandatory sentences in addition to the sentence for the crime itself when a weapon is used in the commission of a violent crime (like Project Exile). I would much rather see our justice system truly punish criminals instead of coddling them with amenities that have made incarceration the picnic it has become. This, in my mind, is why there is no deterrent for criminal acts.
