Clemency bid denied for gang killer

I can assure you ZZzz racism from blacks against whites is much more serious and life threatening than the other way around.

If you are white, try going to any inner city at night and good luck.

You don't think there are ET members who are racist toward African Americans, especially those African Americans who belong to inner city gangs???

Why wouldn't they want to turn him loose so that he could go back in the neighborhood and murder more brothers?

Tookie wasn't convicted for killing blacks, but three Asian (Taiwanese) immigrants and a Caucasian.

Didn't you know that? :confused:
 
Deterrence works.

Any other opinion is hogwash.

Think of your own lives and see where deterrence works on a much more mundane level.

See my point?

That is "acceptable". Pretty much most big cities in the US & now regretably Europe have no-go zones for whites. But ZZzz and his kind don't give a damn about that. Do you ZZzz?
 
IMO, the questions to be asked of those against capital punishment are:

1) Does executing criminals effectively prevent them from committing the same crime again?

2) Which is more important, the rights of criminals or those of innocent citizens?

3) What is barbaric about requiring that someone who violently steals the life of an innocent (or two, or three, or four, or 10, or 50?) not be allowed to keep his own?

4) Where is the moral tradition that prescribes life for murderers?

5) What is "correct" about demonstrating to society's worst people that no matter how many innocent victims they slaughter, no matter how barbaric the suffering they inflict on others, the worst that can happen to them is that they will go to prison?

All excellent points. I would add -

6) if executing killers under our current system deters even 1 innocent person from being murdered, isn't it worth it?

I am sure ZZZzz and other critics would agree, speciallly if it was their life and/or their loved ones we were talking about...
 
Quote from Brandonf:

I don't think that the capital punishment serves too much of a purpose other than to maybe make the victims family feel better. And, if it does make them feel better I'm all for it, but they should have to pull the switch themselves if they really want the person dead. There is no death penalty is Canada or Europe etc and you are much less likely to be killed there than in the US, it does not work.

To put it quite bluntly, there are far fewer blacks in Canada and Europe.
