charlie wolf is a spastic

Capital Punishment is highly immoral.

I believe in capital punishment, England needs it back to fight these sick paedos

Mr Wolf please dont bring up the "Founding Fathers", they lived in a time when Slavery was still seen as normal, where Women were seen as inferior, when most people took the bible literelly, where you had to be a white male over the age of 21 and own land to vote, If you read the writings of the Founding Fathers they all said that the Constitution would evolve over time, stop living in the 1770s.

Mr.Wolf was offended that the President of the European Union wrote a letter to the Governor of the State of Texas about the Death Penalty?, Does he know that the rest of the Planet get highly offended when the US try to impose their will of other countries.

what has it to do with jagger

[JekyllBoote]

He's certainly a prize wanker. Quite apart from his idiotic remarks, absurdly comparing the discomfort of his pregnant wife to the infliction of physical pain on persons undergoing execution, he came out in favour of firing squads and hanging over lethal injection with no reasons given for this bizarre preference. What a nasty, creepy man.

During Judiciary Committee on a bill to repeal DP in Nebraska, those testifying noted DP is more expensive than LWOP & current DP doesnt adequately address racial bias/wrongful convictions. Colorado University sociology prof Michael Radelet testified DP does not deter murder & public support is waning. Senator Loran Schmit said he was outspoken supporter for years but changed when he learned of disparities in sentencing "I also thought death penalty would be a deterrent I no longer believe that"

FBI Director Louis Freeh urged Conservatives to rethink capital punishment "We conservatives cannot afford to let our justified outrage at killers make us morally indifferent to the deadly and irrevocable peril in which society places the truly guiltless on trial for their lives.

At some point in this death-penalty debate, the sanctity of innocent life demands that men and women of conservative conscience have to say: Enough. (New York Post, 5/15/01)
