A vote against the death penalty is a vote for everyone to pay to keep these a$$hole pieces of scum alive at taxpayer expense, medical crap like sex changes and such, pay for their education, and have liberal groups continue to work to try and get them freed based on technicalities, jail space issues, whatever.
The “conservatives” who voted to get rid of it are NOT conservatives.
It shouldn’t be retroactive to those already that have been lawfully sentenced to a death penalty. You can’t make other laws retroactive legally, this shouldn’t either. Thse already sentenced lawfully should have their sentences carried out immediately.
Nebraska has a nonpartisan legislature. I expect the legislators who voted out the death penalty will either not be running for re-election or lose their seats during the next election.
The death penalty in itself, is NOT a deterant to committing crime. Most criminals don’t give a $h!t what happens to them if they get caught. The penalty is just that, a substantial penalty for a substantial crime. I do believe that when capital punishment is removed, it minimizes the crime. And that is exactly what humanists (liberals) do. They want to trivialize and minimize everything. It is part of their moral relativism campaign.
Fine, house them in thrir homes.
