The Death Penalty is an example of Conservative Hypocrisy

[DiamondDave]

There really is certainty in most death penalty sentences. The suggestion that Ted Bundy, William Bonin, Richard Ramirez, Larry Bittaker, Roy Norris, are innocent is so ridiculous it doesn't even bear consideration.

Richard Speck did not get the death penalty because he was convicted in a jurisdiction that did not have the death penalty. We paid for his breast implants to make him more desirable to fellow inmates, he is able to enjoy himself with the drugs smuggled into prison. In a SANE world he would have gotten the death penalty.

The sane world has no capital punishment.

The sane world eliminates is maniacal murderers...

Conservatives always loudly trumpet how they don't believe in government because it is incompetent. They believe the less government, the better...etc.

But, when it comes to the government sentencing people to death, they are all for it.

How do conservatives reconcile this hypocrisy?

If they don't trust the government, and don't believe government is competent, how can they trust the government to execute the right person?

Many studies have discovered numerous examples of innocent people sitting on death row. Police use the Reid Method of Interrogation. With this manner of brainwashing, they can convince the average person to confess to being the son of Sam in less than 12 hours. (Which BTW, is evidence that torture is not necessary--if they can get innocent people to confess, they surely can get guilty people to give them pertinent info.)

Even with confessions, there is no certainty that people sentenced to death are guilty.

Wow are you dumb, liberals like abortion where you are 100% killing an innocent and yet dont want to kill murderers....hmmmmm
The fact is the whole innocent thing is a joke, with DNA evidence now adays it's not too hard.
And the fact is you deserve to die for killing someone.
As for the state, a JURY decides if the person is guilty, NOT the STATE

Check out how our legal system works, then get back to me on this

Juries convict murders and determine death sentences. The government merely carries out the sentence. Comprende?

As a guy who has been to county lock up a couple times in fricking Cook County jail no less. I am tottaly against it, better let them rot in jail and throw them in general population, the inmates will take care of the dirty work..... see Jeffery Dahmer [spl?]

The average conservative supports the death penalty so much that they'd rather innocent men be executed than the death penalty be done away with for good.

And yes, their belief that government is mistake-prone and too incompetent to be trusted except when carrying out an execution, when government suddenly becomes infallible, is laughable. Conservatism is laughable.

I don't see the point of keeping the Charlie Manson's of the world alive decade after decade, Cheesie. Nothing is "infallible" but to say that nobody should put to death doesn't make much sense to me either. The Ted Bundy's...the Jeffrey Dahmer's...you're never letting them out of a box (at least I hope nobody is that naive!) so why not have a death penalty? What do you threaten an inmate with if they're in on a lifetime without parole sentence to keep them from killing guards or other inmates...more time served?

Jeffrey Dahmer was a paid hit. So yes, if the family of a murder victim can pony up the bucks there will be an accident.

The "sane world" also has no nukes and no serial killers...

Conservatives generally support the death penalty because Conservatives generally have faith in "the system".

At least that's the way it looks from here.

Anyways jail is boring as hell. 30 days feels like a year..... but you do get to meet interesting folks and the only place I know of that you could get 4 guys together to play gin rummey at 7 am. lol

 

[Katzndogz]

Liberals believe in a society that does not make judgments as to right or wrong, guilt or innocence A man who has murdered 30 people is equal to a newborn baby that has harmed no one. It's all about the equality.

That's the way it looks because that's the way it is.

They might say "better 100 guilty go free than one innocent be put to death" but what they really want is "better 100 innocents be murdered by the guilty, than to judge the guilty".

Time to get those eyes checked, Doc. Conservatives generally have little faith in "the system" because "the system" is a bloated and inefficient government.

 

[Crackerjaxon]

Who says all conservatives are for the death penalty?

I'm certainly not. I'm sure many others are not for it, either.

Typical liberal crap. When they're not lying, they're stereotyping.

When I say "the system", I don't mean the current government.

Jail has become an industry anyways. In South Carolina people are thrown in jail in some counties for 6 months for non payment of child support, no work release and how the hell can they pay if they are in jail? and we are throwing mentally ill people in jail instead of mental hospitals.... a fucking circle.....

 

[Crackerjaxon]

Why do liberals support the murder of innocent unborn children but object to the death penalty for convicted murderers?

Now, that is hypocrisy.

You are making the false assumption that a zygote is the equivalent of a human being. That is illogical.

No, denying humanity to the unborn is illogical.
