Reply #7: I advoctate the Death Penalty... [View All]

...for Hate Crimes.

How can we be certain that every person on death row is guilty?
You can't.

Do you think that executing an innocent person is murder?
Of course.

I advocate the death penalty for anyone who has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to have committed a hate crime. Do you honestly believe the two bastards who tied Matthew Shepard to a fence, beat him to within an inch of his life, then left him there - all because he was gay - deserve to live? I don't. If they live then there is a chance that they might get free. There is a chance that they might write a book or something and profit from their hate. Do you believe Nazi's who go out and kill gays and Jews should be allowed to live? I don't.

I don't propose executing as many people as we do, on as flimsy as evidence as has been used. I would strengthen the laws used for execution, require more proof and set a high standard, I would also set it for hate crimes only. I would also make it so that the process moves along quicker - no 10 year wait. You get a chance to appeal your case once or twice and then it goes straight to the SCOTUS. After that you're dead.

Do you support allowing those who commit violent hate crimes live so that they can spread their hate, perhaps even eventually getting free from prison to kill again? Start gangs in prison which spread their poison so that those who are eventually let free continue on the legacy of the hate monger? I don't.
