The death penalty is a barbaric institution. It always has been, and it always will be. The government says it’s okay to murder this person, so let’s murder him.
I don’t get why that doesn’t shock people’s consciences and sense of basic decency.
The only issue with the death penalty is the potential to execute the innocent. There is no danger of that here. I don’t want to share the planet with this racist prick.
I don't even kill spiders. It's hard to look at that photo and understand, how this young adult even considered doing this. What broke him like that? Maybe, instead of killing him, we can somehow guarantee no new guys like him would happen. Not in a genetic crime bullshit fashion, but in providing psychological services, making regular checks, noticing them and reaching out before they act like that? He's a fucking idiot, but also a guy that fell through many safety nets proving them ineffective.
What is a justified consequence for someone that killed people just going about their normal lives? Do the families impacted by this tragedy have any input?
It's not good to report the number of deaths in headlines without humanizing the victims in some way. It's better to list each individual name in the article itself.
This dude probably thought he was setting a number score that would put him in the spotlight, but he didn't realize he's just another tally for the Executioner.
Out of pure academic curiosity, how is the death penalty part of this under federal jurisdiction?
There are federal crimes that include hate crimes and violation of civil rights, but from what I can tell in the list of federal capital crimes, neither of those appears to me to qualify as subject to the death penalty.
I looked up Derek Chauvin as a base then realized he was never under threat of death penalty.
Why just kill him? I didn't see the point there..
What about beating him and mutilate his body again and again and then take him to recover and then again and again beat and mutilate until he is old enough to die for natural reasons?.. seems like a better plan to me.
