34. Why are you ignoring the statistics on
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 01:34 AM by hiaasenrocks
the race of the assailants and the victims in these cases?

Does it not matter that blacks are more likely to commit murder but there are more whites on death row (and more whites are executed)? Does it not matter that blacks are more likely to be murdered than whites?

I'm pro-death penalty and I don't care what the race of the assailant is. White, black, Asian...doesn't matter.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics numbers do not support the idea that this system is inherently racist. Your second chart is inaccurate, according to the justice dept. I'll stick with verifiable numbers, rather than propaganda from an organization that has an agenda.
