and hey we should be seeing 2 more executions here soon

oh wait 1 of them already occurred

this is gonna be an unpopular opinion. but if someone is facing life in prison with out the possibility of parole (the level just below death row)... the average yearly cost is between 34.7K and 36.3K just for food/clothes/housing/security, not including other needs like medical. or any emergency response they require.

It cost more for them to be on Death row lol

why not just execute them? it spares the tax payers from the expense. it spares them from a life in a cage, and it spares the institutions from the workload

oh i understand. but why not expedite that process a little bit... just devil's advocate here

Cause than there is no due process

i dont follow

Morals and emotions, its very heart wrenching for someone to take a another life, even if it is justified. There's also the chance that they were wrongly convicted and you kill an innocent individual

have they not already been through due process before the conviction?

Well let's say you are innocent, but you are seen guilty by the jury. Your execution is in a year.

Wouldn't you want to appeal it?

Better yet if the appeal works, you would want to send it higher.

sure, so then add a statute of limitations type deal.. like they get 5 years to appeal,

So you see why it cost more

Uh problem, all of these individuals that trump has executed have been on death for at least 15-25 years

This last guy trump is executing has been on death row since 2000 for the killing of 3 women

And i was wrong on one thing tho, i said that cory johnson (who was executed yesterday) was convicted on killing 10 people during a drug war

just seems like an unnecessarily expensive endeavor for taxer payers, if the person is to stay in prison for life

with no chance of parole

Turns out it was 7 people, with another 4 being killed by other gang members

You can also turn this into a moral argument

The Death penalty is technically a cruel and unusual punishment

But at the same time, it also isn't

id argue life in a cage is worse

Well it was cruel for the victims of these killers to be murdered in cold blood without any sort of justice

I agree .. they try to get on death row on the inside if they got life .. causes extra violence within the prison

Excessive fines, but still they would also get the easy way out of life

under the death penalty

I stand by the belief that a life for a life is justifiable case for the death penalty, if it is clear the individual is not capable of rehabilitation

All these executions are justified as a result

Time for me to brush up on my hacking skills to make a fake cert.. I don't want the vaccine

No joke. Talk about, "Let me see your papers."

yeah, its a pretty terrifying prospect

The power is out here on a sunny day.. is it red6 time?

I honestly haven't tbe slightest clue whats gonna happen, but i hope it works in our way

*also we need to try to keep the news channels news, not discussion*

and honest, need to keep them honest

thats one of the biggest problems for me... is people see the dishonesty, and then dont turn it off...

thats why they keep lieing.. because people keep watching!
