Ah yes, "smart arsery" - I'm not suprised to see a debater of your calibre resort to attempting to deride intellectual arguments which form an inescapable chain of logic refuting you: its a pattern I'm seeing in your posts all over.
Cut out the rest of your ridiculous attempts at smart arsery- read above, he specifically called the execution of a murderer, murder- so "per se", it is the act of execution in his eyes

I would like to see how your opinion changes after someone like the man discussed in the op decides to pay a friendly visit to your sister or mother?
I have empathy, i FEEL for the victim, i FEEL for his family. You feel sorry for the criminal.
As they say, people have trouble understanding something until it something literally demonstrates what he means by shoving it unmercifully where the sun does not shine.
An eye for an eye when someone acts on purpose is the only just way to handle things. Killing someone in an accident by eg. driving over is a totally other business, severe, yes because you have taken a life but grounds for execution or life in prison? no.

You may well attempt to fall back on the position that your posts in this thread, quoting text from this thread, were actually inspired by stuff written elsewhere, which you did not quote until the fallacy of your position was pointed out, however, everyone else reading this knows that you are busted. For what? For the exact opposite of that which you accused me of, ie dumb arsery.

Please explain how executing a criminal actually proves anything to them or teaches them anything? I've got news for you THEY ARE DEAD...

One thing none of you pro death penalty people will address is the fact that innocent people have been and will always be occasionally found guilty and put to death by the state. That is murder.

Death is death. Im from Australia and the death sentence is a foreign and quite weird concept to me, however killing someone after the crime is still quite silly, considering that it all depends on the money, lawyers, evidence and etc... If this guy had better lawyers, money and better talk to the judge he could of been free, minor sentence or etc..
To me it seems the Death sentence is used to silence an individual... Maybe he could of wrote some books, or shed some light about it? While there are huge factors such as the above, and also the fact that despite he obviously was guilty, but he could of benefited someone by research into the reasons he killed the poor girl. Killing him is to me, wiping clean the evidence, or information.
Also what if this guy was framed? (Which I do not even think he was, but what if?). I know this is a hard subject to converse about, but what ifs, and if so's abound my mind.

By supporting the death penalty you are supporting the occasional murder of an innocent person by the state. Again, there is no way around that. It happens and will continue to happen as long as there is a death penalty. How can you possibly justify that?
