I completely agree the state should not execute people.

Instead, I fully support taking the life of the condemned in the exact same manner in which the condemned took his or her victim's life. Matter of fact, I support going one step further in that should a family member of the deceased want to administer the death penalty he or she should be allowed.

The world is a better place without him and I’m not gonna lose any sleep over the state killing him.

But there's a difference between being okay with it and celebrating it. I'm okay with it, but I don't see it as cause to be happy and celebrate. Even if he deserved to die, the taking of life is solemn, not a cause for jubilation.

Neither will I or hog, but it is weird that people seem to get their jollies off state killings

I don't think anyone is "getting their jollies off" in this case. After his crime he converted oxygen for far too long. Like with Epstein, good riddance.

An eye for an eye.

If this happened more frequently I'm sure these idiots would think twice before doing something like this.

I don't believe the death penalty is a deterrent. Dumbass criminals are gonna dumbass criminal. They are invinceable and unbeatable right up until they are caught. Then the left makes them out to be victims.

The appeals process needs an express lane to fix that. It shouldn't take 30 years

No, the process of the initial conviction is what needs to be changed so that it's impossible to send an innocent to death row.

I'm all for cruel and unusual punishment in certain situations. El Paso comes to mind. Maybe the threat of torture would deter some. Wouldn't bother me a bit if someone went to work on the animals convicted of Channon/Chris with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. Sparky is an easy way out for some of these sub humans.

166 death row exoneration since 1973. It's considered a given we've executed innocent people. Continuing the death penalty under these circumstances is fundamentally immoral. If we care about the individual rights of American citizens it should stop.

And for that very reason you won't see much happen in GOP-led states.

I'll tell you what, I'd love to see those pieces of garbage tortured for what they did to those kids and what their parents have had to endure since. I'm not a violent man, but I can sure break all of the rules of my life to see those pieces of crap regret the day they decided to hurt those kids.

So you believe it to be necessary to prevent recidivism?

Do you live near Knoxville? 10 years ago these pieces of crap killed 2 young college students. They didn't just kill them they raped them and stuffed the girl in a garbage can where she suffocated. The young man was rolled up in a rug and set on fire.
If I had the chance I'd torture and set each one of them on fire.

They are 100% guaranteed not to kill anyone else.

Yes, but you're also guaranteeing that the state will kill someone to prevent a potential, but highly unlikely, outcome (a jailed murderer murdering again).
