Quote:Nate, save yourself all that typing. Dakota has an image he can't give up. Yes, it's sad, but whatcha gonna do?

 

All you have to do is see a few Datelines or 48 Hours and you know innocent people go to jail, often for very serious crimes like murder.

 

So, to think some haven't slipped through ...

 

The thing is, people like Dakota, I suspect, really don't mind if one or two innocents have been executed (it's not like they are similar to people like us) as long as the monsters are put to death. It's the price we pay - or something like that.

 

The whole thing seems useless if it's going to take twenty years to put into practice. So what's the point?

Yeah, I know.


He's being disingenuous and he knows he's not fooling anyone.


And I truly believe as you do that he simply doesn't want to admit that it doesn't bother him to KNOW that innocent people have been put to death. That, to me, is simply being murdered by the state.


Everybody knows innocent people have bee put to death, as you state. It is simple logic, that he isn't capable of understanding or admitting.


People have been freed and EXHONERATED because of DNA. Everyone gets that.


What logically happened before DNA ? Apparently he thinks there is a wave of people also who have the ability or interest to go back and retest a whole bunch of people dead bodies. you'd be in a legal battle with the state if you tried. People have been proven innocent afterwards through other means as well.



But yeah, I get it, he just doesn't want to,admit his real position, which is that he is ok with X amount of people being innocently killed by the state,


I'd guess that he doesn't want to admit it, because it goes against everything this country stands for.
