Brandon Bernard executed

the state shouldn't be responsible for revenge, only justice. Carrying out vengeance requires an inherent and unacceptable bias.

The Norse way was correct: a murderer was outlawed, i.e. no longer protected by the law. This effectively legalized revenge by whoever wanted to carry it out. Justice by the state, revenge by whoever.

This also led to the discovery of America by the son of the outlaw Erik the Red.

Checks out.

We are about preserving innocent life. Part protecting innocent life is removing people who don’t care to do the same. The fact that you don’t see that shows how blind you are to the hard truth of the world.

In Canada there's a guy known as Alek Minassian who 2 years ago drove a van into 10 people and killed them. He's been quoted in court as recently as yesterday as stating he wished he would have killed 100.

Yes, if anyone does deserve the death penalty it's people like this. I have not looked further into his case and am going off only what you said, but it seems as though "Alek" has no remorse for his actions. Brandon Bernard on other had shown clear remorse and deep regret for his actions. He positively influenced others in prison, and 5 of the jurors who voted to convict him have stated that they have since changed their opinion with new evidence that had been previously withheld in court. Also, he was a teenager and only an accomplice. It is ridiculous that people like Brandon Bernard can be put to death when people who commit far worse crimes get a life sentence.

Killing people is a priority for the Trump administration. Not really surprising when they have overseen so much death this year, through their indifference to Covid.

Ha - “Removing people”. You can’t even say what you really mean because it’s so hypocritical.

It's the kind of euphemism the Nazis liked to use. "Final solution", and the like.

Iran just executed journalist Ruhollah Zam for "spreading corruption on earth". But MSNBC didn't tell you to be outraged at that. So you posted about a convicted murderer being executed after years of legal appeals.

No wonder there's so many weirdos in the USA you lot are primitive

It's primitive to asssociate with a bunch of thugs who don't respect human life.

The death penalty is never applied to the elites

Some would argue it is primitive to take advantage of the welfare system. Just saying. It is easy to judge others.

Here's a better method. Release him on the front steps of the court house. Give the public one week notice of the time and place of the release. Give the convicted murderer a 10 yard head start.

(This twenty years from conviction to execution is ridiculous).

I am not on welfare, I use disability which I qualify for. To suggest I take advantage of something is opinion, not fact.

OK fair enough. You are disabled. I understand. Are you always going to be disabled or could you possibly become abled? Not making fun of you.

The US remains the only Western democracy that still imposes the death penalty. Not so world-leading there.

Japan also has and uses the death penalty.

There, they don't even give the condemned inmate much more than one hour's warning that they are to be hanged. No "dates" are set well in advance. Appeals process almost secretively.

OK Greg so you will never be abled. I get it. I do feel sorry for you though because you are NOT abled. You say so yourself.
