This is probably one of the most unattractive sides to the posters at FR, their cheerful encouragement of killings in prison by felons.

I have spoken about this for years. If these criminals need to die, change the laws and make the death penalty work.

But rooting for their deaths in prison by felons shows a lack of moral fiber, courage or respect for the rule of law.

Frankly, I think people in prison should be locked up individually in cells with out much freedom at all. To protect themselves from each other and to protect their guards.

The Death penalty works, but the Court system does not. It's been infected by Liberal "living constitution" crap.

I'm not sure that's the best course. They are called "Penitentiaries" because they are intended to make people "repent." They don't do that job very well, but they should.

I think you're 100% right: either openly advocate for having the death penalty extended to other felonious crimes, such as forcible raping of a child, forcible sodomy, etc. and argue for it like a rational being, OR keep your tongue behind your teeth.

Do not advocate for random extrajudicial punishment in the nation's lockups and prisons, that is, mayhem by felons. We are not North Korea. We are not Pakistan.

I have complained to the Mods about the rising level of sadistic violence fantasizing, "punishment porn," but to no avail.

There are dozens, maybe hundreds of stalwart conservatives I could have introduced to this website--- and they could have been a huge help with the FReepathons, too --- but I dare not invite them. Because some of the comments that are allowed here are strongly repellent to normal, morally sound, intellectual competent, strongly conservative, Faith&Family Trumpers.
