Killing spree with mystery drug: Three US citizens will be put to death in first executions in months

THE first of three convicted US killers to be put to death in a 24-hour period has been executed.
Marcus Wellons, 59, who had been convicted of rape and murder, was executed by injection.

The day of executions marks the first lethal injections in the country since a botched execution in Oklahoma intensified America’s debate over the death penalty nearly two months ago.

All the states planning lethal injections — Florida, Georgia and Missouri — refuse to say where they get their drugs, or if they are tested.

Why do you hate victims but love murderers?

When people stop committing murder.

The US is one of the few remaining "civilized" nations to still use the death penalty

We are in the company of forward thinking countries like China, N Korea, India and Muslim nations that still use the death penalty. For this we can thank our Bible belt states who still cling to their death penalty

What is wrong with this picture?

There are plenty of non bible belters who support the DP as the ultimate punishment.

Some people simply deserve to die for their crimes.

I assume your little chart was supposed to illicit some kind of outrage, but it actually appears that for a country where the punishment is legal, we are pretty damned reserved with it. Not even 1,300 executions in 40 years. How many convictions have there been for murder since then?

We need to get an execution assembly line going and clear out death row. ....

These death penalty threads are as big a waste of time as the gun threads. We are dealing with the same mentality.

I wish you fools would stop calling it "A botched execution"
The guy cant get any deader....

We are one of the few remaining industrialized countriew that still resorts to a death penalty. Europe and the majority of North and South America gave it up.
In our own country, only a few "god loving" states still rely on it

Time to move into the 21st century and abolish the archaic practice

I never understood why the Baptists in the Bible Belt push so hard for a death penalty. Most of our other major religions no longer support it

Wasn't Jesus wrongly given the death penalty?

 

[soonerthunder22]

Leftys are the most mentally deficient species on earth. Just a quick example: You bleed all over your shirt for some scumbag who is put to death for slaughtering an entire family ( whom I am pretty sure did not want to die ) and don't bat an eye or lose one second of sleep over the fact that thousands of defenseless babies are MURDERED every year by abortion clinics....not because there is anything physically wrong with the babies, but simply because the stupid "mother" decides she doesn't want the responsibility of having to care for an infant.

Don't bother trying to justify those actions. I not going to listen to a bunch of damn hypocrites.

According to the map you posted.

It looks like about 2/3 of the states still have the death penalty. ..

In 38 years, most states have executed ten or fewer people. Many have not had an execution in years. They have a "Death Sentence" but don't have a "Death Penalty"

Texas alone executes almost as much as the rest of the country combined

Should a civilized society resort to "eye for an eye" punishment to show how killing is immoral?

 

[Skull Pilot]

I don't have a problem with the death penalty per-say.

My issue is with the burden of proof for capital cases.

IMO the reasonable doubt standard is not good enough when death is the penalty.

For some crimes, yes. Some things you gotta die for doing.
