CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

[NiftyNiblick]

According to Google: "In 2010, a death row inmate waited an average of 178 months (roughly 15 years) between sentencing and execution. Nearly a quarter of inmates on death row in the U.S. die of natural causes while awaiting execution." It seems that they have plenty of time for appeals and proving innocence. Exonerations before the sentence is carried out is not a measure of innocents executed.

I'm not sure what this argument does for either side.
They get a long prison sentence, then execution. Sounds pretty awful to me.
Euthanasia would seem better than either incarceration or execution.
At the very least, it should be an option.

Or just having the police murder unarmed citizens in the streets.

Pity they haven't managed to erase the stain of you, yet.

At very least...execution, whatever one calls it, should be an option.

But to suppose supporting LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT A CHANCE OF PAROLE...

...makes one more moral...

...or that such a punishment is somehow more humane than execution...

...IS AN ABSURDITY.
