even taking the low end estimate of 12% that means 10% of the people who are leaving prison did nothing wrong

Alrighty well, do you want to let +60% of felons have the right to vote then?

I'd rather let 10 ex cons vote than deny one innocent person.

Then you're actually letting wolves outvote a sheep

not really

most people aren't ex cons at all

and its not like they are suddenly going to make crime legal

Idk man

They say some crazy shit these days, gets crazier each one.

Im talking about the ex cons

I honestly trust them more than the average dem primary voter

when it comes to voting

at least they know enough about government to not want it to run everything

>I honestly trust them more than the average dem primary voter

"Yeah I trust a former rapist to vote what's best for women's rights."

"I totally want a murderer to decide the next mayor/congressman."

Yeah I bet gang members totally know what it's like about the heavy boot of the feds *maaaaaan*

I should point out I think the only appropriate punishment for murder is life without parole

so that one doesn't apply here

So u dont even believe in capital punishment?

the math is in, the trials and investigations to try and ensure we are actually killing a killer costs more than just keeping them there.

also you can't correct killing an innocent person, you can mostly correct imprisoning them

I am ok with capital punishment in the case of supremely overwhelming evidence

but thats not 99% of murder cases

Lmao "general" muderder cases.

And ofc they're going to have a trial right?

Its not like these things happen with a blink of an eye and it's off to the firing squad or a noose.

They're gonna go to trail and make sure it's the guy

death row in texas, just based on confirmed executions had a 5% innocent kill rate

So 95% of the time it was the right purp

5% of people were executed by the state for doing nothing wrong

at least

5+% techinicaly

I am not willing to give the state the power to kill innocent civilians even by accident. Combined with it being cheaper to just keep them in a room I don't see a reason to have a common death penalty

I don't want my tax dollars going for someone to have a sweet seat in prison for the rest of their life.

I'd rather they go tward buying the rope.

Look at the UK man, there's a shit ton of grooming gangs out there that have raped plenty of women and all because they don't want to be called racist they don't jail them properly and even let them out. They can vote, they get set free, and they keep raping and and murdering. This is a nice soft big blanket statement to make yourself sound benevolent but you're talking about a 5% innocent rate over here? They get killed? How many die on job duty at the factory? What's the mortality rate there? Innocents die all the time and it's just how the world is and you can't stop it.

We aren't even talking about the people who are definetly convicted of murder getting hanged anymore. Its just more generally the goal post is kept getting moved to now include these innocents. They get off'd everyday by these same people. And you wanna give them the right to vote?

Say a felon got out anyway. New leaf, became an Orthodox Christian, all the good stuff. Still shouldn't vote. Because it's about the principle of it.

Voting is gay anyway. Think about it. Gays have the right to vote. If you vote you're practically gay yourself.

Jokes lol... or am I? 👀

`like every guy let out for rape cause he didn't do it`
