Reg, please, don't speak to me like a kid ok. Don't tell me what I believe in because I don't assume anything about you. I don't want a stricter policy, I just want to make sure I don't lethally inject someone who looks guilty but is innocent. As far as taxpayers, just electrocute the murderer, and give them back to their family, and if they have none, bury or burn them. Simple as that...
Well wouldn't you need a stricter policy to ensure that happens? How can you say you don't believe in the death penaltly and then turn around and say murderers should get the death penalty? I'm trying to be offensive, but that seems like a clear cut contradiction. In order for the State to execute anyone, you need to have a death penalty. And how can you ensure you're not killing an innocent person unless you have an effective appeals system? The appeals are what end up costing taxpayers the most money. You can't simply find a guy guilty and then execute him the next day. That's how you end up executing innocent people.
It is a complete tragedy, especially for the children. God knows whats been going on in Edwin's mind these last few days. I read a line from Viviek Wallace in a report quoting Valero: "the last place anyone would want to be right now is in my head." The guy must have been demented or something. Not the actions of a sane man...
Not really. You say you don't want the death penalty but that you want State sponsered killings of murderers. I'm not sure how that's possible.
Do you believe me now!??! I told you a week ago Valero was on that dope. You got mad and defended him like he was your brother or something. I also told you that he would commit suicide. How about you defend someone when you actually know them or know they are innocent! My sympathy lies with his kids but in a way they are relieved. I just wish their mother was still living.
No, I want an overhaul on how we deal with murderers, and I gave my opinion which seems to have affected you a bit, and I don't know why Reg.
First off, Valero is dead, and if the coroner's report comes out that he's "on that dope", you're claiming what lol...:huh We were talking about Valero beating his wife, and all I told you was we don't know the story.
It's affected me in the sense that I'm confused. I'm confused as to how you can advocated State sponsered killings of murderers and then say you don't believe in the death penalty. If you want to kill murderers, that's on you. However, that would seem to contradict your anti-death penalty stance.
