Death penalty is a joke at this point, because it will take 10000 years for them to get around to actually executing the bastard…because this society doesn’t truly have the balls anymore when it comes to execution in general. Everything gets put off over and over again with endless appeals and delays for whatever reason. You could have your child being born today, and he or she will have finished college and probably graduate school by the time this guy is finally being walked over to the area for a lethal injection. (which is some other stupid, unnecessarily costly shit… all in the efforts of being “humane”. Really? Being “humane” about KILLING someone? Haha, please get out of here with that horseshit. Be real about it and just put some bullets in them… I’m sure a few bullets are cheaper if we actually care about saving taxpayer money here.)
The real way to kill them is to mix them in with general population on a life sentence… then float the idea around the other inmates that he also raped a few children…let that rumor circulate… then sit back and watch the inevitable result. There’s no appeals there…and the execution gets carried out quickly while not really being on the taxpayers’ dime either.
I’d be all for speeding up the death penalty if a) the regular justice system actually worked in the first place and b) a lot of people on death row didn’t turn out to be innocent. Any speeding up of it would just screw over minorities, really. I am still generally in support of the death penalty on principle, if only because prison hardly tries to actually reform people, especially now that it’s basically become a business, but you just have to accept that in its current form, execution is glacially slow and probably best off that way unfortunately. This even before appeals and then the recent, relatively bullshit “inhumane” arguments that at the very least could be solved by other means of execution besides lethal execution. There’s really no reason to not just go back to hanging motherfuckers.
The same goes for going back to speedy, on-the-spot public execution not being a good idea, since you know lynchings worked out so well for black people & other minorities and since mob justice is always so well informed and correct. Sure, the trial was a largely waste of money, but you can’t have things both ways and things would be even worse otherwise.
Indeed, they most likely wouldn’t, but it’s not like things couldn’t “happen”, especially since he’s probably going to be imprisoned in the Boston area or somewhere still near by in Massachusetts. If he dies (early) while serving life in prison, then I highly doubt that there will be any love lost by anyone outside of his family and the idiot friends that tried to destroy evidence for him. It’s unfortunately the best case scenario, especially since it’s less cruel than wishing for him to be raped repeatedly for the rest of his miserable life.
no way he was getting off after the havok these niggas caused in boston. their whole case was about just not giving him death, not saying he wasnt guilty.
def not. hed be put in a supermax of some kind and he’d never see another person whos not a guard ever again
Theres a book like that called Unwind. Check it out sometime. Basically problem children are donated to the state or whatever. After some amount of time, they are literally disassembled and their body parts are sent to those in need or organ donations. Even brain parts are used. The person is also kept alive via artificial blood and nutrients through out the entire procedure as well.
Found the future ISIS member. You edgy fucking prick.
Andrea Tantaros handing out free excuses to beat women, on an utterly grave matter like this its important to keep an open and objective mind but now and again you read a report like this that makes you laugh and shake your head. I love it.
Yeah, I’m a future ISIS member because I don’t believe that this guy deserves to have time and money wasted on a him. Someone who murdered people, and attempt to murder many more. Again, examples need to be made of people who want to pull shit like this. These people don’t deserve any rights and don’t deserve to be alive for more than 12 hours after they’ve committed such a disgusting crime against humanity.
(I’m so tempted to close this thread already, but I’ll leave that up to Valaris.)
I misspoke somewhat earlier: the death sentence thing is up to the jury, not the judge, in which case I expect them to make the worst choice possible like juries usually do. Hurray.
Rugalitarian, let’s go about this another way: You do realize that dying right away–like his older brother did–was (supposedly) what he wanted, right? So why give him what he wants, especially when dying like that, either “in a blaze of glory” or while he was surrendering and clearly “defenseless”, plays into the martyrdom complex that the majority of these idiots have? Sure, he’d become an example, but of what to be and avenge, not what to avoid being. I’m all for killing him (eventually), but even before the other problems of your argument, including the fact that even for normal people the existence of the death penalty is hardly a deterrent, what you’re proposing wouldn’t work against most people with the mindset he had-slash-has.
Death isn’t a punishment–it’s a reward. And before you come back with “well, we should have just made sure him to execute him really cruelly then”, suspending the 8th Amendment is really unrealistic (thankfully), at least as far as things in the public eye go.
I can understand how it’s frustrating, but all you’re doing is getting baited by people in the thread at this point. Just accept that unfortunately the best punishment for criminals like this at present is for them to die obscurity, rather than have their names (and deaths) be made even more public between them being plastered all over the “news” and thread headlines like this (not that I blame Spirit Juice about the latter).
If you can’t do that, then that’s your issue unless you’re going to actually change the system as opposed to just typing weak obscenities. Gods know every aspect of the justice system needs at least some type of heavy reform.
