Interesting.

I await Shapiro's views on assisted suicide or Medically Assisted Dying (MAD) which the widely talked about "Mental Health Crisis" is a pretext for.

"the system is fallible, and the outcome is irreversible."

That's why there are so many checks and balances that the chances of dying of natural causes on Death Row are higher than the chances of ever being executed.

The rate of recidivism following execution is zero. Nothing that the justice system does is more effective.

What murderers do, is irreversible.

For the ones with solid evidence, multiple witnesses, video and/or otherwise, there’s no reason not to execute them.

These are the same assh0les that arrest men based on heresay evidence of one female phone call. They toss men out of the homes they own, and destroy their lives, based on heresay.

Irreversible destruction and imprisonment. Cantgetthat time back. No consequences for the liars, government wont then go after the liars to right wrongs.

These people have zero cred claiming when they spout this crap.

I honestly don’t have a problem with this. Our criminal justice system is so fouled up — and so highly politicized — that I have no confidence in the integrity of judges, prosecutors, and even jurors to protect the rights of American citizens who are unjustly accused of crimes.

I’m not getting too excited I call myself Pro-Life but as I noted earlier in the thread we are moving in the direction of assisted suicide as a means to address the “mental health crisis” being bandied about by the media-politicians.

I don’t want to see that happen.

Most executions you read about are for crimes committed generally 30-35 years prior. Say a guy commits his crime in 1985, he’s 30 and next week his execution comes up and he’s now 67. (Exception Tim McVeigh)

Is that really the death penalty??

Gee lucky they didn’t elect that awful conservative republican. He didn’t worship abortion. So they have the leftist pig who worships murderers.

I’m with you. Not a popular opinion, but I’m sure at some time an innocent person has been executed. Certainly many have been exonerated after decades in jail.

Funny you could use the same words about the covid vax but that will never be repeated in that context by the dims.
