Some of us promote the death penalty to deter bad behavior here.

Wrong. It's called 'punishment'. And when we do it the rights of the condemned are scrupulously observed. Every legal avenue has been exhausted, and the sentence is carried out in the most humane way possible.

Executions are carried out away from the public eye, with only a few observers present as required by law.

The death penalty is reserved only for the most heinous of crimes in the U.S.

It literally takes decades to execute a convict in this country and millions of taxpayer dollars are spent on the defense of the condemned.

These barbarians observe no such customs. Condemned persons, including children btw, are hauled by the neck off the ground by cranes and left to strangle. This is done quite publicly with the sole aim of terrifying the population into submission to a gang of 7th Century islamofascist scum.

Comparing our legal system to theirs is a rude joke.

IT WENT THROUGH THEIR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. PROPERLY DONE, HANGING IS AS HUMANE AS ANYTHING AND MIGHT PROVIDE MORE JUSTICE TO THE PERP. MANY HAVE POSTED HERE THAT PERPS AREN’T HUMANE TO THEIR VICTIMS AND SHOULD EXPERIENCE SOME TERROR.

Executions are carried out away from the public eye, with only a few observers present as required by law.

THERE IS AN ARGUEMENT FOR PUBLIC EXECUTIONS. IT MIGHT DETER A FEW INDIVIDUALS AND MAKE IT MORE REAL FOR THE REST OF US.

The death penalty is reserved only for the most heinous of crimes in the U.S.

THE TWO EXECUTED IN THE ARTICLE COMMITTED ROBBERY AND MURDER

It literally takes decades to execute a convict in this country and millions of taxpayer dollars are spent on the defense of the condemned.

OUR LEGAL SYSTEM CALLS FOR SWIFT JUSTICE. TOO MUCH TIME BETWEEN ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES CREATS A DISCONNECT

These barbarians observe no such customs. Condemned persons, including children btw, are hauled by the neck off the ground by cranes and left to strangle. This is done quite publicly with the sole aim of terrifying the population into submission to a gang of 7th Century islamofascist scum.

CAN’T ARGUE WITH THIS BUT IT IS BEYOND THE FACTS OF THE ARTICLE. SOME WOULD PRESENT THAT THIS EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED IN OUR PAST AND IS HAPPENING NOW

Comparing our legal system to theirs is a rude joke.

JUST TRYING TO POINT OUT THERE IS NO PERFECT SYSTEM. RECOGNIZING IMPERFECTION IS A CONVERVATIVE POSITION.
