Comment on: ANTI-LIBERAL ZONE

American Crisis in Criminal Justice

Better 100 new victims, than 1

innocent executed, that'd what'd be on the placards of anti-death penalty demonstrators if there were truth in advertising laws that applied. Perfection is not something that humans attain, the question is on which side do you err. Although actually, to hear the MSM and ACLU types say it, the only people they seem to think of as a victim is the criminal.

Yet when some 15-30 million die to create a commie utopia, these same-minded sheeple bleat that you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. It's amazing, an ideology where people are disposable, hence the primacy of abortion in their politics.

The ONLY way we will ever see common sense in applying the death penalty is when more of these same libnards are the victims of these animals. Do you think for a minute if,GOD forbid, the Edwards children,or Chelsea, or the Gore offspring,insert favorite lib name here,were attacked like the Petit family were,that THEY would not want to see the perp executed? ACLU? What if a street gang overran their offices in a major city? Tortured all the men,degraded all the women? Would even THEY be so quick to defend these animals? How about the members of some of these parole boards? What if THEIR loved ones were to be brutalised by a murderer/rapist THEY had paroled? I guess when you live in a comfy ivory tower all your life you don't worry about such possibilities,eh?

another thing...

Why do death penalty cases get appealed to the federal courts if it was a STATE law that was broken? States and their courts need to tell the Supremes to pizzoff when they order a stay of execution pending appeal. Once the Governor and the state courts have said to insert the needle/throw the switch/drop in the cyanide capsule/open the trap door/pull the triggers, then it should be done the next day...LIVE ON TV!

I hear that and I just wish that ONCE, lightning would strike the family of an atni-death penalty advocate.

nailed it.

"I guess when you live in a comfy ivory tower all your life you don't worry about such possibilities, eh?"

Exactly right. Leftwards lives on 200 secluded acres and no doubt has the finest security money can buy.

Great point. What the H*LL do eight unelected bozos have to do with enforcing state law?

Crawfish,absolutely spot-f-ing-on. Where are all the states rights advocates on this? Makes ya wonder.
