Ohio botched execution

The argument against the death penalty is a simple one: innocent people have been convicted and executed. That aside, this drug execution seems a bit daft to me. What's wrong with a simple, professional, hanging? It's quick, efficient, cheap, and relatively painless.
 
Some Righties here are extra happy when people are executed. Their hands are cleaner than killing someone.
 
There is no humane method for killing a human. The only humane course of action is to deny our government the right to kill it's own citizens. It's really pretty simple. The only argument against such a policy is blood-lust.

what a thread. righties ignored the torture that preceded this botched execution (they still believe in torture) and focused on the crime while lefties ignored the torture and jumped ahead to make the case to end the death penalty.

Question: "Why are Christians pro-life when it comes to abortion while at the same time in favor of the death penalty and supportive of war?"

Answer: The primary problem with this question is that it attempts to create a moral equivalency between abortion, the death penalty / capital punishment, and war. There is absolutely nothing equivalent about an innocent baby’s life being taken in the womb and a convicted murderer being executed. A baby in the womb has committed no crime. The death penalty should be, and in most cases is, employed only with the most evil of crimes. It was God who ordained the death penalty (Genesis 9:6), and it is God who gives governments the authority to enforce the death penalty (Romans 13:1-7). It is entirely consistent to believe that the life of an innocent baby in the womb should be protected while believing that the perpetuators of the most heinous of crimes should be executed.

But that's only from the faith side of it. That's something you might not understand or support. So then there's this:

According to roughly a dozen recent studies, executions save lives. For each inmate put to death, the studies say, 3 to 18 murders are prevented.

The effect is most pronounced, according to some studies, in Texas and other states that execute condemned inmates relatively often and relatively quickly.

The studies, performed by economists in the past decade, compare the number of executions in different jurisdictions with homicide rates over time — while trying to eliminate the effects of crime rates, conviction rates and other factors — and say that murder rates tend to fall as executions rise. One influential study looked at 3,054 counties over two decades.

This is one of the best replies to a post I've seen in awhile.

AND...........executing rabid animals protects prison workers. Also there is no chance for a repeat offense.

You truly are incapable of reading and comprehending, aren't ??? I already answered that question!

I said the prisoner should work the rest of his life for the victim's family/survivors. Every penny and whatever else should go only to them. It is called restitution. The criminal should live long, suffer long and work hard, very hard and think about their crime everyday and how they now work for those they hurt with their crime.

His work is over and he will do his work no more.......ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Liberal logic, take them off death row for open heart surgery and then execute them (yeah that freaking happened) remember this guy will not get FREE health care any longer.
 
Liberals are all AGAINST the death penalty until it's THEIR child who has been raped/tortured/murdered....or WORSE YET (to THEM)....THEMSELVES.

THEN it's different story.

so you still believe in torture and cruel and unusual punishment?
that's our repub/cons.....blissfully ignorant of our Constitution

The only cruel and unusual punishment is listening to liberals whine about taking a rapist and murderer out of society. I remember when draw and quartering wasn't considered cruel and unusual, now liberals whine if a murdering rapist feels some discomfort. If only they cared about his victims half as much.

You would rather focus on what happened rather than what we can

What a stupid statement....yes, whenever someone does something to us, let's act out our anger and shoot them. The reason we have laws is because we aren't vigilantes. Another reactionary....building a bridge back to the past.

Another back to the past . Let's draw and quarter people .....probably would get you aroused.
And who the hell ever said we shouldn't take rapists and murderers put of society? Oh. I keep forgetting you righties can only think in extremes, nothing in between.
Since you are so concerned with rapists, perhaps you should turn to your own gender for understanding and action to prevent such crimes.
