  • “If you support the death penalty and only one single innocent person is killed and killing an innocent person is murder, then you also become murderers. So, you also deserve to be killed. This is the paradox of the death penalty and you cannot avoid this paradox.

    — Agnes Heller (holocaust survivor).

  • I'm in Britian so I don't know, but did Rick Perry just get away this? This family never even filed some kind of lawsuit against him for wrongly executing that poor man? Rick Perry should be locked away for making that kind of mistake AND THEN COVERING IT UP?! It's absoloutley crazy that he got away with it!

  • @Snakepliskinist I say turn NYC into a prison colony and just prisoners survive on their own.

  • @mikedamat What a silly thing to say. It might be expensive in terms of lawyers and appeals, but a living person consumes resources until they die. If the system is remotely efficient, then no manner of execution could possible be more costly. This is one of the few things I agree with Republicans on. The world is overpopulated, and everyone walks around with this narcisstic belief that they have a right to reproduce as much as they want. Change that, or kill people. Dealer's choice.

  • Also, it's more expensive to execute people than life in prison, so you don't get that either.

  • This is why I think a belief in god can be harmful. People say without God people would feel compelled to kill each other, I believe it's the other way round, you go out and kill innocent people without much remorse because you don't fully appreciate mortality: "Dem der folks be with JEEZUS now, so it ain't matter."

  • There is a documentary on netflix about this innocent man's exicution I cant remember the name of it though, anyone know??

  • Executing the innocent doesn't matter to a guy like Rick Perry. He thinks a god will sort it all out and forgive him of any mistakes he makes throughout his life.

  • Perry you sick fucking bastard how do you sleep at night with the blood of the innocent on your hand

  • @iamsean90 you go look up any number of stats, you dont even know the record of each administration?

    You can always call in carter though, I hear he did very bad
