It is perfectly clear that that individual executed will not kill
again.
That's good enough for me.
What is not clear is what difference that makes if the rate of
homicide is just as high as it was. People's chances of getting
killed remain the same. The death penalty does not make anybody
safer. There is also the objective and well-known fact that there are
a number of countries without the death penalty and with much lower
homicide rates than the US, which has one of the highest in the
industrial world.
If you believe that the cause for this is the death penalty,
you're softer than a sneakerful of warm puppyshit.
You will notice, if you read my posts, that I made no suggestion as to
the cause of the high murder rate.
I don't know, but it just might be possible that
other approaches would be worth looking into; that is assuming that
making people safer is a desirable goal.
Kill them. It's the only way to be sure.
I am going to assume that you meant people found guilty of murder. If
so you still have the problem that executions have had no visible
effect on the murder rate.
You fucking people have become so damm pussyfied that
you'd hold a rapist's coat while he fucked your daughter.
You make me puke.
You must be talking to somebody else. Excuse me for interrupting your
conversation.
