One can be against the death penalty, without defending individual murderers ya know.

Please don't misunderstand me, personally I don't care what *anyone* thinks I am. I am whatever they say I am, and whatever they need me to be. I'm perfectly fine with that, don't give 2 craps... but it seems the majority of folks virtue signaling by being anti-death penalty very, very much do care what others think about them. So A leads to B, so on and so forth.

I'm not really talking about this dude, just general principal, the appeals are automatic under a death sentence.
Mine and a few others arguments aren't for this POS, it's because we don't trust the govt and a flawed justice system to get it absolutely right. The current estimate is 4% of people on death row are in fact innocent.

Touchee, but I submit the cost of executions is rooted in needless litigation and exploitation of open and shut legal matters by attorneys to enrich themselves.
There is no basis for any kind of appeal, review or legal controversy here. The facts of this case are cut and dried.

It's interesting to me how the left leaning don't trust the government ... until they do.
Government can run out entire health care system. Government can control all of our education. It's awesome at those things.
But the left leaning don't trust the justice system any further than they they can throw it.
How is that that the government can absolutely be trusted with the first two, but not the latter?
You have a bad habit of putting words in peoples mouth's, or deciding who or what they think, STOP IT!!!..who are you talking about..me?? trusting govt???

So, basically they let this POS off the easy way. Kinda like shooting an injured horse, so it doesn’t have to endure anymore pain.
That’s why the death penalty is just short sighted stupidity.
You want to really punish a man for heinous crimes? Then make him live in his own head for the rest of his natural life.

So democrats who call for persecution of Republicans and even outright murder of them are upset a heinous rapist was put to death?
