Agree with you.

 

nate is doing a poor job of playing bleedingheart and wondering why no one sides with his position.

 

Those who deserve the death penalty are inhuman.  They are those who have taken innocent life without remorse, with no regard for society.  That's murder.  To kill, in this specific example - to administer justice (true justice, not the revenge ignorantly labeled justice that many leftist groups have been calling for against their fellow man) is night and day different.  But then, the dark of heart (who disguise themselves the opposite) would love to plant the seed and poison the mind so that you would believe differently.  That it's somehow the "same."

 

Yes, there is a difference between murder and killing.  They are nothing alike.  Loss of life is the only commonality, but unfortunately for those who can't see deeper that's not the end of the story.  It doesn't even scratch the surface of the full context.

 

 

There is no bleeding heart aspect to it at all.  There isn't any aspect of feeling sorry for the people on death row, and that is not a factor in any way.

 

I am talking about justification on the state aspect of it, as well as on an individual aspect.  It just isn't there.  

 

I doubt the standard has anything to do with the taking of "innocent" life either.

 

If you or anyone else is really, really confident of your government and those that it employs as the "administers" of justice can and do so in a reliable way,  then I believe you are turning a blind eye to the vast amount of people walking away from death row and/or wrongly convicted in other ways.  

 

Again, I am not even contemplating being a bleeding heart.  I just know, absolutely, that it is foolish to believe that any State can point to an infallible record of not covering up evidence, planting evidence, eliciting made up confessions or encouraging misidentifications, competent representation, etc..

  

I mean....there are people here apparently willing to kill this guy in this case without knowing whether he was even involved in the death or the child.

 

In addition, the Supreme Court, the very conservative Supreme Court, just found via an 8-1  decision that the procedure used here in Florida is unconstitutional and has been for some time.
