The Lethal Injection is a cruel and unusual punishment

PRESS MORE FOR INFO.


This is a video I made to illustrate a few extremely valid points as to why exactly the death penalty should be abolished. Feel free to share your views if you are either against or for the death penalty, your views are all welcome. I will not, however, accept any hateful comments, and they will be deleted. If you have an opinion, please give reasons, I'm extremely interested in your point of view.

Things that YOU can do to help stop the death penalty:

1) If your state has abolition or moratorium bills pending, write your representatives in the state legislature and/or your governor expressing your support for the bill and articulating your personal objections to the death penalty. If there is no such bill pending in your state legislature, write your representatives to ask that they consider sponsoring such a bill.

In 2007 abolition or moratorium bills were introduced in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

2) Find the abolition groups in your state here:

Fuck that hang these people! They deserve to suffer!

[70scarrestoguy]

What should society do with murderers? I can't see the sense in housing,feeding, clothing & guarding a murderer when there's no chance of that person being rehabilitated & re-entering society as a productive citizen. Appeals shouldn't take more than 5 years & then the condemned murderer should be executed. If you want to open a care facility for condemned murderers at your home go right ahead but I'm tired of my tax dollars being wasted to support them.

I agree there's a possibility(however slim)of an innocent getting executed for something they nothing to do with,which is why we need to be careful.But when we KNOW someone is guilty for an atrocious crime-HANG THEM!!

[McMatthewz]

@JCHARLES111 think about the wrongly accused example Amanda Know accused of murder leter to be found not guilty..... imagine they just killed her off and then found out shes inicient

[McMatthewz]

@vivelajonny think also bout the wrongly accused that have been put to this practice?



[McMatthewz]

@NejiHyuga900 did you watch the video the person explained how it can be painfl if the drugs wear off

[JCHARLES111]

How 'humane' were these murderers with THEIR victims before they ended up on death row?I find it impossible to have any pity on them

[hphman1193]

Ever think of the extreme pain not only to their victim(s) but to the victim(s) families that the person lying on that table caused? They deserve every second of the dying process and more.

[NejiHyuga900]

I am disliking this video because lethal injection is not a cruel way to execute someone.

1. They are asleep (in a coma status) so they won't be able to feel pain.

2. They can die peacefully without use of torture or suffering.
