O'Malley Would Not Have Wanted Adam Lanza Executed

[Bloomin Onion]

There is talk of the general assembly trying to repeal the death penalty under the direction of O'Malley and his liberal elites.

That means that if Lanza had not committed suicide and was arrested, O'Malley and the Democrats would not have wanted him to get the death penalty.

If O'Malley wants to end capital punishment here, we the people are ready to go to war again, just as we went to war against the illegal immigrants. And while we did not defeat illegal immigration at the polls (and now the Dreamers are continuing to mock and insult our country and us Americans), we must be a thorn in O'Malley's side in all issues possible.

Farty Marty would have pardoned him for his vote.

Next up...

Life without parole will be considered to be "cruel and unusual" by the libbies

[Omaha Beach]

Alas the dp has been repealed de facto if not de jure since OweMalley has been Governor aided and abetted by Maryland's own Rose Bird, Chief Judge Robert Bell. At least he has to retire this year but im sure someone just as bad will take his place. With the demographics in this sorry State all you can do is hope when you retire you can afford to move elsewhere.

[demopublican]

I do agree that we should either use it or ban it.

[Baltimatt]

Yes the people of Maryland really rose up and told Powers That Be off about illegals.

When I saw the thread I was wondering if you were going to work illegals into it. You never disappoint!

As I've said many times before the death penalty has been abolished in Maryland for all practical purposes. Keeping it on the books still has value though because it forces criminal-friendly legislators to pretend that they support life without parole. If we didn't still theoretically have the DP then idiots like Sen. Lisa Gladden would start trying to weaken life sentences.

It's probably the only thing he's done right since elected. Maybe the only thing he's done right in his miserable life.

There are good reasons for cutting out the DP:

A life prisoner is likely to get out after a few years, that is a potential voter.
A life prisoner is going to get massive appeal attempts, at MASSIVE taxpayer cost. That benefits the lawyers.
A lfie prisoner is likely (even without appeals) to get out sooner then later and kill over and over again. This means more business for the lawyers who will get to represent him in the future.
A life prisoner is (in this case, assuming he had lived and done the crimes in MD) going to claim insanity, that means repeated treatment by shrinks who will fight (to the last taxpayer's dime) to show why the prisoner didn't really mean to murder anyone.
A life prisoner is (in this case) going to get a huge amount of public attention and various media interviews to tell his side. That means lots of revenue for the trash TV shows that love this stuff.

At first I thought I was being jaded, but this is true.

At least, Bob Ehrlich was not afraid to sign 2 Death Warrants !

I'm no O'malley fan, in fact I can't stand him, but I see being opposed to the DP as a respectable, reasonable position, just as being in favor of it is. I can see good aruguments on both sides. I'm mixed on it myself.

It also-- when the prosecutor seeks it--- tends to get more conservative jurors as one of the qualifications for a juror in a DP case is that they cannot be against the DP in general.

[Bloomin Onion]

If you are against capital punihsment, that means if Adam Lanza or Osama bin Laden had been captured alive, you would not want them to be elgible for the death penalty. I don't see how any sane person could still oppose capital punishment.

And Matt......I admitted that due to the numerous liberal elites of Montgomery County and the racial vote in Baltimore City, we were not able to hand the illegal aliens a statewide defeat. But there are those of us still fighting for American culture and values and against illegal immigration. Carroll County may soon be the third county to pass an official English law and hopefully even more counties will follow. Many of us will not just hand over out tax money to the illegal alien Dremers who hate and mock our country and mock the idea of LEGAL immigration. They are my enemies and the fight against them will continue. We will also continue to fight against any attempt on the national level to legalize these criminals.

Illegal aliens deserve no sympathy or mercy. They are enemies of our nation and must be treated as such.

Which on the ground means nothing

[RavnFreek]

There is a place in law for the death penalty. Especially with today's technology we can more easily identify a killer with 100% accuracy with out reasonable doubt, (or any). In these cases when the crime fits, exectute the sick bastard.

[Bloomin Onion]

I don't understand the liberalism of O'Mallley and other capital punishment opponents.

If Adam Lanza or Cho Seung Hui had been caught alive they should have been executed. James Holmes should receive the death penalty, as should Jonathan Pollard and anyone convicted of treason against the United States. Lee Boyd Malvo should have also been put to death but wasn't. Two years ago there was a case in this area about a druglord who ordered the murder of a witness while in prison awaiting trial, and he still wasn't put to death. I think this was in Anne Arundel County though it could have been Baltimore City.

Murderers, terrorists, and traitors should be getting the death penalty or life imprisonment. Aiding and abetting illegal immigration and hiring illegal aliens should be punishable by jail time as well. We need more tougher CRIMINAL sentences and less NANNY STATE laws like plastic bag restrictions, trans fats bans and limits on the size of soda cups!!!

I wonder, in most of those countries listed, what exactly is the criteria for being put to death? The standard in the US is actually pretty high, while in some places adulterers can be stoned to death and stuff like homosexuality is considered a very serious offense.

I also wonder how many of those countries listed have 300+ million residents....

so what do you prefer, the norwegian model? ......

Anders Behring Breivik, the man charged with killing 77 people in Norway last year, was found sane and sentenced to prison for at least 21 years.

And Breivik complains incessantly that he is being held in inhumane conditions, with coffee that is too cold and insufficient butter. The state supplied pens "cramp his hands" and he claims that is evidence of torture. It makes me sick to read his complaints. If anyone deserved to be killed by other inmates, it is this POS.
