Gov. Jeff Landry signed into law Tuesday a bill allowing executions by nitrogen gas and electrocution, opening the door for Louisiana to revive capital punishment 14 years after it last used its death chamber.
Republicans just can’t not kill people
And they call themselves prolife!
they are pro-birth
and pro-death
they are not pro-life
Remember: the cruelty is the point. No amount of logical argument about the uselessness of executions for deterring crime, or about how often innocent people are convicted of serious crimes or especially appeals to basic human mercy will sway a dedicated conservative from their desire to inflict suffering on those they deem lesser than themselves.
These fuckers are evil. I fucking hate them.
KILLING PEOPLE is called being PRO LIFE!
FYI: Louisiana’s electric chair is/was named “Gruesome Gertie.”. I believe it is in a museum at the state penitentiary at Angola.
Abolish capital punishment.
I love how that woman trots out her son’s photo like victims of crime should have any input whatsoever as to what justice is dispensed.
Law is supposed to be reason, free of passion.
How is a victim going to help with that?
How else will he get real life updoots? /s

Ask yourself why bringing back state-sanctioned murder “gets votes” for the GOP and all that shit-talk will make a lot more sense. Y’all literally vote yourselves to death.
I’m all for the death penalty.
Yes, we all know how edgy you are, congrats hahaha

Have you ever tried not constantly belittling and disparaging the people you’re trying to debate? Like, I literally don’t give a shit what you have you to say about anything if your going to say it like that, you can’t get through one single sentence without making the most inflammatory assumptions you can think of. It doesn’t invite a very open dialogue. Unless your just a troll, then I guess it invites the perfect dialogue…
Most of you people never argue in good faith and are just looking to farm upvotes.
Calling it “state-sanctioned murder” immediately wrote you off as unreasonable and irrational.
Then what the fuck is it? It’s not justice. You have to be alive to receive state justice for crimes committed.
It’s the death penalty.
“Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse committed with the necessary intention as defined by the law in a specific jurisdiction.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder
You should really brush up on your vocabulary and reading comprehension before thinking you have a point and swearing at me.
Most of you people never argue in good faith and are just looking to farm upvotes.
Thanks for proving my point.
unlawful killing of another human
thanks for proving my point
This is you:
Most of you people never argue in good faith
This is also you:
Calling it “state-sanctioned murder” immediately wrote you off as unreasonable and irrational.
Don’t talk to me about good faith arguments and then literally immediately try to poison the well, hahaha, nice try troll

Seems like a good idea to me.
Punishing criminals does not need to be as expensive as it is.
Death penalties cost more in lawyers and appeals than regular incarceration does.
It’s only cheaper if you’re a fascist unconcerned with due process.
It doesn’t need to.
But it already IS and DOES so take your fantasy and go fuck yourself with it.
Calm down. I already said “punishing criminals does not need to be as expensive as it is.”
It’s possible to do it for cheaper, even if we choose not to. You really should take a break.
This bears repeating. It’s only cheaper if you’re a fascist unconcerned with due process. So you should really just stop lying or take your Nazi rhetoric elsewhere.
Not really. It can be cheaper while maintaining due process.
I don’t think you’re capable of understanding this, though.
How?
It is not possible to do it cheaper without murdering even more innocent people. That should be unacceptable for anyone with halfway decent morals.
even more innocent people.
How many innocent people get the death penalty in the US?
Since the 70s, 1584 people have been executed, of which at least 197 have later been exonerated. So a cool 10%. How high would you like it to go to save money?

Don’t tell me what to do, dickcheese. Take the L and go be wrong.
Calm down.
Don’t tell me what to do, dickcheese.
You’re right, but how expensive is it to make sure that the people you are punishing actually are criminals, and how expensive should it be to make sure that the punishment is proportional to the severity of the crime?
Also, is prison about punishment, or is it about reform? (Trick question)
