I've heard something like that before...

Death is in fact the answer but is not swift enough.
The fact the man allegedly changed in prison does not relieve him from his sentence of death.
I pay for his upkeep while alive. when dead, that economic burden is lifted from me
He chose Old Sparky over lethal injection. Why would he do that if he didn’t feel he still deserved the severest punishment available?
You are not wise enough to determine what and what is not sinful
The question is not sin but law.
(RE: McVeigh) “While you may be saying “he got what he deserved” it says something horrible about us as a society.”
I can live with that burden.
I almost agree but for a different reason. Whenever there’s an execution, I specifically read on to find out when the original crime took place. Almost without exception it is around 30+ years. That’s basically an adult lifetime, lived by the offender. Justice delayed is justice denied. If we can’t do it correctly, give it up.
Well, you may be able to. But others aren’t.
What was the question?
I've heard something like that before...
Over 61 MILLION future American citizens have by executed by CHOICE since '73.
Unfortunately, until the way such prisoners are handled is drastically changed, death “is” the answer.
This demon was in prison, yet still managed to kill. The only alternative to the death penalty for such persons is life imprisonment in total solitary confinement, in facilities purpose built for this function. Putting these offenders in regular prisons puts still puts the guards and other prisoners at a risk they do not deserve to be exposed to.
Nope...there is NO current option that assures "no further threat to society". Not in the US, nor anywhere else.
There are some crimes for it is inappropriate to simply offer an apology and for which rehabilitation is not an option.
I had a professor long ago who said, “I could be a pacifist and oppose the death penalty except I meet too many people that deserve to have the sh*t beat out of them.”
He was right.
There you go, right there. And that is the truth.
That is the problem.
An evil man can do a good act. He did save some corrections officers’ lives.
He also killed a fellow inmate.
He won’t do that again.
If the Romans didn’t have the death penalty, there would be no Christianity...
Depends on the question.

He should have been publicly hanged within a week after conviction of his first murder.
There’s always a threat.
Dipstick.

In the USA and any other technologically advanced society, where the imprisoned present no further threat to society, the death penalty is sinful.

Utter nonsense. The murderer in question, and all other convicted murderers should be publicly hanged within a week of their conviction. NO EXCEPTIONS . . . and no consideration whatsoever concerning motive.
