Lunk for further info. A real tragedy, specially with the talk of that the person (Who may or may not be the person in custody) sat in the church for a good hour before he began firing. Will this be a push into bringing the gun laws to discussion in the courts? probably not, but it gives an idea, specially they say his father bought a 45 caliber for him for his 21st birthday. Sad, a place for peace and tranquility turned into something bad. | ||

Trayvon and Brown were both praised as good people by those close to them, and both attacked people designated to keep the peace, losing their lives in the process. Poor choices are colorblind, anyone can make them. | ||

What Spaz said below you. I haven't heard the media portray that divide in many years. For a good while it's been reversed because social justice is the hot issue of the moment.
Cue catty argument about the death penalty.
But the media did a damn good job of turning it that way. Hell, they barely needed to - Twitter could have done the job itself. | ||||||

Seems like another case of too many warning signs noticed but ignored because "our kid is just misunderstood" kind of mentality. Life is imprisonment with no chance of parole is about the worst thing you can do to him. Unfortunately, you've got the kneejerk reaction pundits, experts and politicians (the president included) jumping on the gun control wagon again despite there being nothing that would have realistically prevented this. |

The same thing happened with the Sandy Hook guy. As an aside, the fact that any state still has the electric chair is almost equally disturbing. | ||

Gives each person the feeling they killed a man, without them truly knowing who gave the shot that took a killers life, most humane way to kill a killer, honestly. |

You'd actually have a really solid point if it weren't for the fact that it's inhumane for the executionee. | ||

Seeing as I don't think they'd just pick a person off the street to do it, I don't think it would be. Given they are told to sign some form of release/document saying they are well away of what they are about to do/see, I, for one, would be more than willing to be a shooter. That and maybe they'd be given some sort of information on the killer, who/how he killed the people, did he feel remorse about it during the trial/his sentence in jail (Not until the end, because everybody will say they feel remorse/sad for doing what they did when they know they will meet the same end) But that's just me, I feel a hint of sadness for the fuckers getting the lethal injections, that's not how i'd like to go if given the death sentence. | ||

Fuck that noise. Does anyone actually care if fuckers like this feel it or not? The lethal injection that got messed up a while back and had the guy in immense pain until he passed out from it is the best thing to happen to humanane death penalties since they were introduced.

I said "executionee", not "executioner".
You're letting emotion cloud your judgement. | ||||

Probably. If you'd like to make a case for why a humane death is a better option, I'm all ears. | ||

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | The most humane, painless death would be carbon monoxide. You just fall asleep. That said, this is slowly becoming a political thread. You know what happens to threads when political and moral debates become the topic. |
