In my case, no...for two reasons.

First, you can never be 100% sure you have the right person (especially given a lengthy history of police falsifying evidence, etc., and there can always be other factors involved). If you incorrectly put someone in jail you can attempt to make amends later, but how do you make amends to a person you murdered?

Second, given how human beings have evolved and how their brains function, life in solitary would be a far worse punishment if the goal is to punish or make them suffer for their crime. If your goal isn't punishment or reform, but instead simple revenge, then I suppose this argument wouldn't carry much weight for you.

He's already there, and we're living in it with him. This is the bad place.

I'm pretty sure his hell would be serving in a soup kitchen for thousands of years. Volunteering.

Four years.

Four goddamn years I had to wake up every day and pay attention to what asinine shit the President of the United States tweeted.

Because, unfortunately, that utter cretin had the nuclear button.

And now we have to endure another four years of the same.

Shit, for all the bad things you can say about Biden, you can at least say that whenever you heard a story start with "Today, the president said..." in the news, you weren't immediately going "ah fuck here we go". Four years I dealt with that kind of reflexive dread.

God, I wish I could just slip into a coma until 2029.

Well the media invested a lot of time and effort to get him elected and now they want to cash in on all that hard work.

Personally I'd like to keep up with the Canada comments considering he's threatening to annex our fucking country. Americans, fix your country

Not to mention that no other OECD country except for Japan still has it.

Before I clicked this link, I already had visions of that kid with tears in his eyes as they put him in the electric chair... and hoped that it wasn't the same one.

I'm surprised to learn he's 14, he looks 9!

I have two reasons why I'm against it.

1. Innocent people will get sentenced. There's no way around that. Sententing an innocent person to death is among the greatest injustices I can think of so I'll rather have someone guilty walk free. Granted that sentencing an innocent person to life in prison aint that much better but this is where the second reason comes in.

2. I don't believe in free will. Punishing someone for something they did is not compatible with the way I see the word*. It's like punishing a grizzly bear for attacking a person. If you're danger to society you should be locked up one way or another but not as a punishment but to keep others safe. I think that even if you're a murderer you should be treated well and we should figure out a way for them to live relatively normal lives behind the bars. They can't help themselves. They didn't choose to be born that way and thus shouldn't be punished as if they could have acted otherwise.

* Risk of consequences still works as a deterrence and that "punishment" be it fine or jail time should still be carried out because otherwise it loses its credibility.

Reminder trumps been found very very guilty.

We don't want him

were just given, incredibly, a pardon by Sleepy Joe Biden

dumfuk lying again. on purpose. trying to get the cult riled-up over 'pardons' that didn't happen.

a commuted sentence is not a pardon.

these 37 men are still guilty. they are still in jail.. for life.. without parole. they will remain there and never be released.
