Sotomayor says executing child rapist/killer is barbarism

[EvilCat Breath]

I have a question. Is the purpose of punishment the idea that the guilty must suffer? What suffering do they do if they are put to death? Isn’t it far more cruel to lock them in a cell and essentially forget about them? The taking of a life is most serious. It requires that we question everything. So when a death sentence is handed down, the convicted gets many automatic appeals. This is why it takes twenty years or more, before the sentence is carried out. If it ever is.

Yet, when you sentence someone to life without parole, no automatic appeals, no one spends years, or decades at the taxpayers expense to review, question, and pick all the little things apart to prove that the conclusion was made in error. Yet, the very idea of just putting the convicted in a cell and forgetting about them is apparently soft.

I’ve never understood that. The worst part of captivity according to POW’s is the indeterminate nature. It could last forever. Every day you wake up, you know it will be like yesterday, or the day before. It will be just like tomorrow in reality. How long will your family show up to chat with you? If your time is short, they’ll make the effort, but in time they’ll skip a day because of a Soccer game, or a wedding, or something. In time, they’ll have lives that revolve around something else, even your family forgets about you.

It is cheaper in the long run to do this. It is cheaper in the long run to just put the person in the hole and forget about them. Because you aren’t paying both sides of the legal argument.

Imagine it, every day you wake, it is to the noise and hostility of the prisons. Every day you wake up, you are one day closer to death, which is your own hope of ever leaving the prison. Pain and despair become your world, no hope, no one cares, and no one will ever care. Isn’t that worse? Isn’t that worse in reality?

Every day you die a little, and every day your hope of anything but the hell you live in dies a little. If you get angry and lash out at the hoplessness, you end up in solitary, with even the minimal pleasures of a book, or companionship denied you. Every moment, you have to be on guard for your life, because pain is all you have. Psychological, or physical. That is worse isn’t it? It is a far more cruel punishment than death. It is sending the offender off to irrelevance and loneliness.

It is the very pinnacle of projection that leads people to suppose that life in prison is one of despair. Owing to the incredible adaptability of human beings, such a life becomes comfortable. The reality is killers, even the worst of them have legions of female fans who write long letters of undying devotion and put money on the prison accounts so these men can have just about anything they want. No they are not forgotten. Many marry.

I've known a number of these men and know the prison psycholgist who examines them. They get the greatest pleasure in reliving their crimes over and over and over in the most minute detail. They project imagined murders on pictures in a magazine, a guard, a tv show, another inmates visitor. Anyone. They kill over and over.

Life inmates have sued to get special treatment. Richard Speck killed 8 nursing students. He had such an active and enjoyable sex life that he sued and was awarded tax payer supplied breast implants to make him more attractive to the other inmates.

When you imagine the horrors and terrors of prison life. It's how such life would affect you. Not the way it really is.

Anyone who has to push a button that kills someone is engaging in a barbaric act....we shouldn’t sink that low

In my humble opinion, any adult that sexually assaults a child should be tried, convicted, and publicly hung from the nearest tree.

They did a special on Richard Speck! He lived the life of Riley in prison, all the sex, drugs and rock n roll that he wanted.

Actually he didn't get implants. He gets hormones that gave him boobs so the other inmates can feel his tits while they fuck him.

The death penalty is barbaric

Most of the civilized world forbids it

Who cares. The rest of the world is a wonderful place. You should go ahead and move there.

U.S. Supreme Court will not stop Irick's execution; Sotomayor says we have 'accepted barbarism'

Fucking liberal is a SICK person! This pos SHOULD suffer! Imagine how that child felt! Imagine what her family has had to deal with for TWENTY YEARS!

Families come to terms more easily with the unjust actions of the condemned when they believe the person is being justly punished. It’s important to distinguish between punishment and revenge. Revenge effectively means not only making another person suffer, but making them suffer more. Although revenge is often the fantasy of family members, "sweet revenge" often turns very sour. Taking revenge prolongs and multiplies the anguish for the victim's family.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

What do ewe think of child killers/rapists?

I think they should be imprisoned for life

I agree. I also think that such a life sentence ought not last very long.

Most of the civilized world should forbid killings by criminals...raping and killings....

 

[Political Junky]

Sotomayor is correct.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Bet sotomayor has no problem with the death penalty for innocent unborn children.6

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Bet sotomayor has no problem with the death penalty for innocent unborn children.

It is quite odd that those on the left wrong value the lives of the very worst criminals more than they value the lives of the most innocent and defenseless of all human beings.

Liberals are deranged individuals. This is why they can’t run our society. Look at “shit on the street drug addict San Francisco” or “Marxist drug addict Seattle.”

They like to kill babies...but protect sick as hell criminals.

I don’t want to pay for their food or medical care. Kill them. Bring back gas chamber and do it slowly...make them suffer.

 

[Bush92]

The world is not “civilized” this why we need a strong military to protect our families from other barbaric nations.

 

[Bush92]

We need to take ever waste of a human being on death row or serving a life sentence and execute them. Waste of tax dollars, waste to society.

 

[Bush92]

In refusing to grant Irick a stay, the Court today turns a blind eye to a proven likelihood that the state of Tennessee is on the verge of inflicting several minutes of torturous pain on an inmate in its custody, while shrouding his suffering behind a veneer of paralysis," Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.



Wonder how many minutes that baby girl suffered terror and pain before she died? Sotomyer doesn’t give two shits about the child and her suffering.

Hope it is a long several minutes...gas chamber is my method for these savage beast. They are not even human fucking beings.

Apparently he cries for them...or he just reads Mother Jones and has a polluted mind.

Dims are half wits. They think that capital punishment is barbarian, but see nothing wrong with throwing people in prison so they can get raped every day till they either die or are released to presumably do the same to others once they are released.
