Exactly -
I just don't understand why a person who is "mentally ill" or "defective" deserves any less than someone who is not "defective". ANYONE who takes the life of another in cold blood is an animal that should be thinned from our ranks - period.
I must be really cold-hearted and un-feeling.....
Yup. What are we supposed to do--give him pills and therapy, turn him loose, and cross our fingers hoping he holds together and doesn't blow again?
You're NOT unfeeling..you're RIGHT!
The one and only justification for taking a life is in defense of yourself or someone else.
This "I'm too stupid to know what I was doing." or ""I was abused as a child" is just so much horese$hit from people who don't think or care about the consequences of their actions until it's too late.
when the Supreme Court says it is unconstitutional to execute someone who is mentally retarded.
Would someone please show me where it says this is within their purview in the Constitution?
