I checked this site and read the case of State vs.McCorquodale.McCorquodale deserved the DP. It was a hideous crime,and good example of why the DP should be supported by all.The judicial system needs more DP supporters to speak up and silence the liberal stance on being anti-DP.

Malkin's blog has some interesting links to other blogs, mainly TookieWatch lol! and Red State. All this publicity by the antis seems to be backfiring.

A Singaporean blogger's foray into the Nguyen execution. It is interesting on two points: 1) The Asian concept of saving face; 2) The fact that the family and death penalty opponents, by their being outspoken, assuredly removed any chance for the Government of Singapore to save face, and with it any chance to commute Nguyen's sentence. xenoboysg.blogspot.com/2005/11/volte-face-in-singapore-politics-nay.htmlWednesday, November 30, 2005 I have deliberately refrained from commenting on the death penalty for Nguyen until today. Holding out some misplaced hope that this entry will be unnecessary. But it’s a couple of hours before Nguyen hangs. And it is necessary now to speak. What I say will be brutally realistic. Mistakes were made. No blame is meant. This is an analysis on taking on the Singapore political legal system. And it all boils down to Face. It was all about Face. Whatever fancy terms political scientists or politicians can coin, Game Theory, Great Man theories, brinksmanship politics, realism, post structuralism, Asian values, sovereignty, National Interest, international law etc, when we analyse this Nguyen affair, it was all about Face. No disrespect to Rodan, political activists, lawyers, journalists and the politicians both Singaporean and Aussie, who have all come out with the same tropes to appeal and defend their respective positions in this affair. It was all about Face. Face is not a topic covered in textbooks. Face underlies a lot of political decisions West or East. But it is perhaps only in the latter where Face is an art form. Coded by Confucius. (The posting continues.)

Tookie revisited, or moonbats galore ...Mind you, I don't find anything particularly crazy about opposing death penalty to the point of protesting every single execution, especially since they happen about once every two and a half years in California. What I find a bit suspicious are the people who demand the death of various elected officials as opposed to the death of a convicted quadruple murderer. I guess that on some level I don't really believe in the sincerity of their opposition to death penalty... izrailit.blogspot.com/2005/12/tookie-revisited-or-moonbats-galore.html

...I would like to take a stab at the LWOP argument. It seems to me that it isn't enough to say that the people of California could have simply chosen to keep a killer like Tookie locked up forever. Getting rid of the death penalty means that we have to also consider the foreseeable consequences of guaranteeing criminals that they can kill as many innocent people as they want, for whatever reason at all, without even facing the theoretical possibility of placing their own lives at risk... www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/005937.php

Now, before anyone gets the idea I’m a bleeding-heart liberal, I wish to state that the absolute BEST deterrent to crime is where the would-be perp gets carried out feet-first in a body-bag after his/her unsuccessful attempt against the would-be victim. That’s why I am 100% IN FAVOR of the right to keep & bear arms—i.e. for people to be able to carry concealed weapons, ESPECIALLY firearms! However, all too many times, the enforcers of the death penalty have royally Foxtrot-Uniform-Charlie-Kilo-Echo-Deltaed it up. Here’s an article that spells out in detail just HOW they did in one case in Arizona: www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2005-04-21/news/feature_print.htmlAnd here’s a goodie: Joyce Gilchrist AKA “Black Magic”, did, over the years, commit perjury in many criminal-court trials. Here’s a few hyperlinks to check out! www.law-forensic.com/gilchrist_3.htm and www.law-forensic.com/cfr_gilchrist_6.htm and then there’s www.law-forensic.com/cfr_gilchrist_1.htm as well. She is not the ONLY “expert” to commit perjury, either. In fact, it’s CONFIRMED that this kind of Sierra Hotel India Tango has happened elsewhere—in the great State of New York, for example: here’s an example of how New York State Troopers FAKED fingerprint evidence in murder cases! www.law-forensic.com/cfr_fab_fp_3.htmSo now we come to the question: “What would have happened if the State HAD killed this man for a crime he DID NOT commit?” “Oh, what a tragedy—we’re all SO Sorry!” would be the Bravo-Sierra response. Well, I know how to make these bastards who have committed judicial murder (which, in my opinion, the killing of an innocent person by agents of the State in the name of the Law actually is) REALLY sorry! Once it has been proven BEYOND ANY DOUBT AT ALL that these agents of the State have killed someone who DID NOT DO what they killed him/her for, THEY die! And no, NOT by the gallows, gas chamber, “The Chair” or “the needle”; no, what they get is a last cigarette (if they smoke), a blindfold, and then get stood up against any convenient wall and are then SHOT by firing squad of their peers! That includes the arresting officers, various expert witnesses testifying for the State, the prosecutor and the judge, the jury, and the executioner(s). All of them have the blood of an innocent person on their hands, and are thus judicial murderers—they used the judicial process to murder an innocent person in The Name Of The Law, so they, I believe, should forfeit their lives! Said peers to be chosen by random selection, and if any of these peers suddenly develop conscientious-objector status and REFUSE the order, they GET SHOT WHERE THEY STAND! Now THAT will make the judicial-murdering bastards REALLY sorry! I am not opposed to the death penalty IN PRINCIPLE, but I really DO wonder if some people get killed for something they DIDN’T do after all. After all, it nearly happened at least once in the State of Arizona—and that is solidly documented legal fact! Also, it has also very likely happened in Oklahoma, thanks to “Black Magic” Joyce Gilchrist. Keep THAT in mind. People! As I said, the ABSOLUTE BEST WAY to deter crime is to make CERTAIN the criminal dies in the failed attempt—i.e. kill the scumbag before he/she can kill YOU!

www.dailykos.com/story/2005/12/8/25127/2565It's not a whole blog, just my "diary" as they are called. I just could not get across to these people what it's like to be a survivor. If you have a better way, I'd love to hear it! Any other comments welcome, too.

Just getting across 1 + 1 = 2 is a tough sell on that site.

Well, obviously I'm a Kossack too, otherwise I couldn't post there. There are a few things that I don't agree with, but in general I'm still a Liberal. I find the quality of the writing there good to excelllent. It's like grading papers for a graduate seminar. And they do grab breaking stories on a regular basis. I've found other political sites, but nothing of such high quality.

I taught college English for several years. The writing is very good compared to most blogs. These are almost all thinkpieces, and well-researched. I won't change your political views or vice versa, but we are allies on this board.

Okay, I ventured into the fever swamps (thanks be to showers).
Good debate?
As opposed to what, a murder accomodating liberal?
A stream-of-consciousness run-on sentence which starts off with a complete falsehood.
Yet locking up such people with LWOP is viewed with disdain. Look at how corrections officers are derided by many antis. Don't kill 'em, but we won't help watch 'em, either. And forget money to build more fascist prisons. Besides, the death penalty's not all about vengeance, as we know. Only the superficial think that. There is a social contract that was pretty much ripped to shreds by the murderer.
Sorry, but I stopped here. The moral equivalence was suffocating.
