Death Penalty - Argument for

[Rorschach]

You talkin' to me?

The problem appears to be not with my ability to read English... but your ability to understand people.
ps. I'm not the one with relationship problems... perhaps you should look closer to home eh.

On a side note, the place that guy in the article was arrested at is about 10 miles away from where I live.

Tell me you don't live in Alabama.

I don't know all the details in this case but it sounds like justice to me.

Authorities say 29-year-old Andrew Lackey was pronounced dead at 7:25 p.m EDT.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Alabama has executed its first inmate since 2011, a man convicted of the beating and shooting death of an elderly man on Halloween night in 2005.

Authorities say 29-year-old Andrew Lackey was pronounced dead at 6:25 p.m. Thursday after receiving an injection at Holman Prison in Atmore.

Authorities say Lackey was seeking money when he killed 80-year-old Charles Newman at his Limestone County home. Court records show Newman made an emergency call to police the night of his death and could be heard saying, "Leave me alone" and "What do you want?"

Lackey, who had dropped all appeals, became the first person executed by the state since October 2011. Executions had been partly slowed because of a legal dispute over the drugs being used.

The face of a scumbag that deserved to die.



May you rot in hell (if there is one)

Tell me you don't live in Alabama.

Yup, I currently reside in the People's Theocratic Republic of Alabamastan, Belt Buckle of the Bible Belt, in a city that named a sports arena after card carrying Nazi war criminal (Werner von Braun). Said city also happens to have one of the highest per capita number of people with post-graduate degrees in the world thanks to all of the US Army and NASA development and training agencies/units over at the Arsenal.

Hunstville. Been there. NIce place ... for Alabama. You in the military?

[Chard]

Hunstville.

Got it in one.

NIce place ... for Alabama.

That's like saying a particular patch of hell is slightly less vile then the rest. Accurate enough, I suppose.

You in the military?

Used to be in the Army. Now I work for MSIC as a civilian. I could make more in the private sector, but the benefits and retirement package is fucking stellar.

See, we wouldn't be having this dispute if the state would just use a goddamn hypobaric chamber to induce hypoxia as the method of execution. Completely painless, even pleasant.

Really.... just kill the bastards. I guess it some good two shoes slowing things down as a way to stop/defer their execution.

I'm for an eye for an eye. They should suffer the same deaths x 10 that they committed themselves.

Child molesters should be rogered to death.

They will know empathy before they die.

I view them more as sick animals. Would you torture a dog that bit someone because it was rabid or would you simply put the animal down as quickly as possible? That's why I' a fan of using Hypobaric chambers. From a medical standpoint, death from hypoxia is completely painless, you get giddy and forget that you're about to die and then you just die. No chemicals you need to administer in the correct dosage (lethal injection), no worries about cooking the prisoner and making the witness gallery puke (electric chair), no worries about asphyxia or accidental decapitations (hanging), no worries about having to wait a couple of hours to let the air clear so you can safely remove the body (gas chamber, hydrogen cyanide is some nasty shit), and no worries about the marksmanship qualifications of the executioners (firing squad). Just toss the condemned in the chamber, set the altimeter to 20,000m, it's literally as simple as turning a dial.

Child molesters should be rogered to death.

Yes, and how you propose we go about fucking them to death? Use a machine with a giant latex fist on it? Offer other prisoners clemency for doing the deed? Let the guards do it (holy PTSD, Batman!)?

Seriously, at least attempt to think your silly ass revenge fantasy bullshit through before you post it, guy.
