Killer utters final words, Kiss My A__

[Rumorhasit]

Funny how the same people that are all for defending and keeping alive those who kill are the same ones who support killing innocent babies in the womb! Funny how that is....

With certain thread starters, the race is apparent.

but with regards to the death penalty, isn't it the liberals that have made race the primary issue .......

How so?

How so?

They don't know.

This isn't about Vernon Evans. It's about the fact that we've undoubtedly executed innocent people in this country. One is too many imo. You're free to decide what ratio you can live with. Of course, Jesus said something about it.

Not to mention poor people, and people of color, are disproportionately given the death penalty.

You dont want it to be about Vernon Evans because his case puts a lie to your nonsense about people being rushed, to execution. Name all these people who were innocent and then executed. Not in Maryland with DNA, do the name Kirk Bloodsworth come to mind? Not executed because of DNA. Maybe if so many poor minorities, stopped committing a disproportionate number of crimes that call for the DP they would not have to worry about it.

So the fact that somebody was sentenced to death, and later exonerated because of physical evidence, somehow strengthens your defense of the idea that nobody innocent has every been executed??

Interesting. Of course, it's a logical fallacy. But clearly logic is lost on you.

And the disporportionate representation of minorities and the poor on death row has nothing to do with quantity. It has everything to do with different standards for different people.

You can read many reports about these things. I'm sure you won't, because they contain facts and statistics, something, like I said 20 posts ago, you're clearly uncomfortable with.

By all means, let's streamline the process and get rid of those pesky appeals so we can execute more innocent people. And more poor people. And more people of color.

Sounds good to me.

Show some proof, and maybe we can talk. I was talking about an op, WTH is wrong with you, and what is your point.
people on the right and left are for and against the DP.

really? wth is wrong with me ......

I guess you haven't heard that the entire case against the DP in Md is the claim that it is disproportionately used against black folks and those that kill white victims ........

I could post a thousand links ......

Md. lawmakers urged to repeal death penalty

Continuing a perennial debate in Annapolis, advocates of ending capital punishment told Maryland lawmakers on Wednesday that the death penalty is morally wrong, racist in its application and provides no comfort to grieving families.

The Death Penalty and Racism

And in North Carolina, the vast majority of that state’s 156 death-row inmates have filed appeals based on a new law that permits them to challenge their sentences on grounds of racial bias.

Death Penalty in Maryland - History

Deeply felt and widely expressed public concerns about racism in Maryland’s death penalty system created the context for former Maryland Governor Paris Glendening to impose a moratorium on executions in May 2002. Maryland was the nation’s second state moratorium.

Names of innocent people put to death please!

Take racism out of it. Move whites to the front of the line. I don't care what order we are rid of murdering scum, as long as we are rid of them.

[genghiskhanraven]

And who gets to decide that?

The same judges and juries who've executed innocent people, and disproportionately sentence the poor and minorities to the death penalty?

Or do we break it down into two categories: guilty and REALLY guilty?

This is from the NAACP in 2012

Blacks now commit more murders then whites per year but whites have been 56% of all those executed.

Unlike you a don't care what skin color the cold blooded murderer has. put whites at the front of the line, just speed the line up and get to them all.
The people they're putting to death are the worst of the worst, they would kill you and your children without blinking an eye.

Exactly. The easiest way for people of any race or circumstance to not end up on death row is to stop murdering people. If we make the death penalty sentence a mandatory sentence for all murders that meet the evidence criteria, there will be no unfairness of application. Unfortunately, we are not headed that way but rather headed in the opposite direction.

That is exactly the point. Why he is bringing race into this when the guy just executed was white is something only his confused mind can figure out.
