How about we reserve the death penalty for crooked politicians? We would either have honest representatives, or more clever thieves.

What about hate crimes?

Don’t hate crimes, like posting memes that ridicule Democrat politicians, deserve the death penalty?

>> It does not solve or prevent crime

It’s not supposed to — it’s simply justice that shouldn’t be delayed.

I agree. Let’s start with innocent babies in the womb first and go from there.

I’ve never heard anything so islamophobic. Islam and Sharia demands death for so many things. This throws the woke off their game.

Hmmm/

Is murder outdated?

I’m pretty sure I read about murder every week.

I’m pretty sure child rape is in the news regularly.

Nope, I think that the death penalty is still relevant and needed.

There are no doubts about his guilt. He was literally caught red-shirted. There were just procedural inconsistencies.

The recidivism rate of the executed is rather low.

He wasn’t innocent. They want to gloss over the facts.

You think the person who wakes Biden up during a staff meeting should be executed?

Last night’s rerun of original Law and Order had them shopping for a death penalty venue such as showing a continuing criminal enterprise leading to murder which would allow the eager feds to take it from the State of New York.
“We had a good death penalty in this state but a court ruled against the voters’ wishes and set it aside.” Another way was showing terrorism was involved.
