Yeah, I said basic moral principle, not basic human things. Basic human things have us all making GBS threads in caves and murdering and raping each other all the time. No thank you.


Yeah, it's not like any of them are actually innocent! What's that? 150 people sentenced to death have been released due to new DNA evidence or sheer lack of evidence in their conviction in the past 40 years? Most of them spent years in prison? Who cares? gently caress 'em!

notice i said thoroughly proven numb nuts

oh and who gets to set the standard for that dipshit?

probably the loving judge. ill never understand the intrinsic aversion to the death penalty

Yeah that's basically what we have already. What's the difference between "thoroughly" and "beyond a reasonable doubt" that would prevent things like what's happened?

idk dna or something inarguable, red handed stuff

like my functional example is that texan farmer who killed the dude he caught molesting his daughter. that was good, and right, and good on him for having the stones to be a man about it

He's not wrong. Exterminate all humans, it's the only sure way to stop human-on-human rape. Man up and end rape, you sissy liberal.


Alternate interpretation: Blue Raider is saying we should suspend the death penalty until we overhaul the court system and guarantee that no one is convicted who isn't thoroughly proven to have committed the crime, which is obviously not the case in our justice system today considering that exonerations happen.

im not advocating executing or even punishing innocent people, of course im not, but i dont see the issue with executing murderers of violent intent. somebody dies in a bar fight, lock the killer up for a time. somebody kills 3 in a home invasion, yeah thats death.

execution should only be administered in retroactively provable situations. something that can be on record. dna, film, something that 100% incontrovertibly can be proven at any subsequent time. no witnesses, no firearm forensics, no et cetera

and when they are proven guilty of red handed, purposeful murder, then the expedited execution should happen within a few days or weeks

I don't know about the specific example you are referring to, did he find the molester in the act and kill him or did he do it later?

he caught him in the act and beat him to death
