Ok, I can't quite wrap my head around this one. I've read several articles recently about the religious rights of condemned prisoners during execution. none of the articles seem to make much sense. an article today was about supreme court justices arguing privately over the issue. their argument didn't seem at all to be about the constitutionality of the death penalty but rather allowing the prisoners 'shaman', 'witchdoctor, 'medicineman' or 'clergy' of choice to hold his hand essentially during execution. not allowing this is a violation of his constitutional rights. seems to me that immediately following 'ready, aim, fire ALL of a persons rights are sort of quickly made null and void anyway, no? being a bona fide gun nut clinger, perhaps at my execution i'll demand my second amendment right to hold my favorite revolver during execution. i'd love to hear ginsburgs take on that. aahh, the world we've allowed. Who's going to be dumb enough to hold the hand of a condemned murderer who is sitting in the electric chair?

Whitey Bulger was a serial killer,rapist,and sociopath of the lowest level. Anyone who lived in Boston Souhie in particular would wish that his skin have been torn from his body while awake.There is no honor in the underworld where this maggot who ratted out other gangsters while ordering the many murders of what he called "rats". One of whiteys guys who took his sentence and held his mud wrote a book called"Rat bastard" about whitey. Bulgers right hand man fellow snitch Flemmi the "Rifleman" is due the same payback. I think you're confusing James Bulger a two year old boy, who was murdered in England in 1993, with Boston underworld crime boss James Joseph Bulger Jr., (Also known as Whitey Bulger)

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Apparently you're more than just a wee bit confused; I'm not planning on committing a crime. I suggest you reread what I wrote.

Tennessee has used the electric chair for the second time in just over a month to execute David Miller. Burning people alive just doesn't sit well with me--------even if they're murderers.

you criticize other people's spelling even though you sometimes spell things incorrectly yourself. That is true, although it doesn't amount to murder, as you suggest. The problem with contemporary English orthography is that it's in violation of alphabetic principles and therefore incorrect to begin with. Such principles, rules if you like, are about three thousand years old and they dictate that the symbols (letters) be placed in the chronological order in which the sounds they represent are heard. We do not follow such rules in the English-Speaking world and as a consequence it takes our schoolchildren an extra two years to be reading at the same level as their Finnish-Speaking peers in Finland-----where the orthography (written language) is an exact representation of the spoken language. Hence, what we have is a classic example of conformity in favor over reason and logic.

Most real killers go free by the hundreds every day, Bernard, or are never apprehended in the first place. You don't seem to be overly concerned with the lives of innocents. Worse than an innocent man being executed is a sclerotic criminal justice system. Totally irrelevant Strawman arguments!

I don't normally think of fundamentalist theocracies like Iran as being ahead of us on the cultural importance of forgiveness and mercy. But there it is. Well, I must admit I was quite surprised when I first learned of Iran’s next-door neighbors, the Ottomans, taking in and giving refuge to the Jews who had fled the Spanish Inquisition.

What was the point of that? I believe this was in Iran where, as I understand it, a member of the victim's family can reprieve the condemned from the noose at any given time. In fact, I think the victims family can demand payment from the condemned as a form of retribution rather than execution.

Have you seen how they leap to judgments of guilt? Yes, I have and particularly so with Brett Kavanaugh when there wasn't even a shred of credible evidence against him. Also, we continue to read about some poor dumb bas***d who after spending years behind bars for a crime he did not commit was eventually freed because his DNA did not match that of the actual perpetrator of the crime. And then I have come to distrust many of those involved in criminal prosecution because they often impress me as being psychopaths who are more concerned about getting a conviction than they are about the innocence or guilt of the defendant they are prosecuting. Bottom-line; I am rethinking my position on the death penalty because I fear the possibility of an innocent man or woman being executed.

Killing someone, and killing him/her with malice, is not nearly as hard as it sounds. Every one of us can think of a circumstance when s/he would do it, and do it without the slightest degree of guilt. True! I know from personal experience that if not for the fear of consequences I would have been the real life version of Paul Kersey, the main character portrayed by Charles Bronson in Death Wish.

Sorry, but that won't sell because death is NOT a thing that one experiences. In fact, life is all that you will ever know and nothing more. Hence, you have to exist in order to experience.

you asked my thoughts I gave them to you. I asked you if it was the infliction of pain, or the fear and apprehension of it that is the punishment. OR, do you just consider death (Non existence) to be punishment?

this is the best you can come up with? Oh, I’m sorry! Had I known my questions were going to upset you I would never have asked you if it was the fear and apprehension the condemned felt before an execution or the pain they might experience during it that you considered to be their punishment? sorry, I don't have any crayons. Me too! After all, working with them might be therapeutic for you.

in this case punishment is kicking him off the planet, never more to participate and enjoy anything it has to offer. Please be more specific and tell me exactly what you mean by kicking him off of this planet. And do be advised that if he doesn't exist then he has no need to participate and enjoy anything. Hence, you can deprive the living of something; the dead of nothing.

how does punishment work exactly? ask the "punished" No, I'm asking you! Now, once again, how does that work exactly; is it the infliction of pain, or the fear and apprehension of it that is the punishment? (Note: I'm making reference to executions, not prison sentences.) you're obviously running out of arguments. You're obviously running from my arguments.

Sadism! They want to torture the inmates before they kill them. What other reason could they possibly have for killing a sixty year old for crimes he committed when he was was a 22 year old? Right here Oslooskar. What other "reason" could they have for killing him for a crime he committed . That part. And your question is?

Completely forgetting the victims & the families of. Two cab drivers working to support their families. On the contrary, I'm not forgetting anything! It was the State of Nebraska that forgot Carey Dean Moore. In fact, if I'd had my way he would have been worm-food no later than four years after he was sentenced.

So he wasn't dangerous enough to execute but apparently he was dangerous enough to keep in a cage all this time. Apparently that was a gamble that the State of Nebraska took for 38 years. Why don't we kick him free if he is so "non-dangerous?" Who said he wasn't dangerous? Nope, to me execution is punishment first and foremost. How does that work exactly; is it the infliction of pain, or the fear and apprehension of it that is the punishment? Deterrence is just the gravy. Sheer bunk! "Deterrence" is the absolute goal of an execution and it should be carried out for no other reason. After all, the protection of society is far more important than your emotional needs.

do you think that if a convicted murderer can survive to a certain age then the sentence should be commuted? Yes, absolutely! Executions as far as I'm concerned are to be carried out for one specific purpose only and that is to prevent the condemned from killing again. Therefore, killing a 60 year old for a murder he committed when he was 22 years old hardly serves that purpose.

stop whining like the state wakes up every day with new ways to pluck his eyebrows and put bamboo shoots up his toenails. the guy lived like a king for 38 years. totally fed, clothed and housed with him not having a single concern or responsibility. yeah I agree, he wasn't a threat but he was far from a victim here. if you you have a penalty then use it. but use it right away, don't torture taxpayers for 38 years. and if he was soooo miserable and mistreated he could have bailed at any time. so spare me the he "wants to live" crap. You really and truly just don't get it------your argument is totally irrelevant! What we are concerned with here is the sadistic behavior of the state, as previously mentioned, not about how Carey Moore lived for the last 38 years of his life. Hence, he should have been history no later than 35 years ago.

so we'll assume you couldn't find a reason he didn't want to volunteer, leaving the state to finally do it's job. 38 years too late I couldn't find a reason he didn't want to volunteer? Seriously, stop arguing like a frustrated schoolgirl! Obviously he didn't want to die so that's why he didn't want to volunteer! You're simply trying to pass the ball to Carey Moore and hold him responsible for his long delayed execution. Hence, the intended purpose of an execution is to prevent condemned killers from killing again and the fact that the state killed Moore when he was an old man for crimes he committed when he was a young man did not serve this purpose. Simply put; it was a long drawn out game of Chess between killers ------albeit the ones working for the state were also sadists.

sadism? yeah, for taxpayers. is there any reason from 22 to 60 the pos couldn't have dropped all appeals and volunteer? others have. That just won't sell. Bottom-line; no civilized society with its mental faculties intact is going to kill a 60 year old for a murder he committed when he was 22 years old.
