“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    If someone kills your loved one on purpose for no good reason. What do you want to happen to that person?

      Right or wrong shouldn’t change even if I’m really angry. That’s fucking illogical.

        You’ve obviously never met an evil person before. Because they exist, and they want nothing but harm done. And I want nothing but death for them.

      Killing them I don’t think will help. I wouldn’t forgive them. But I hope society is able to rehabilitate that person, because killing others isn’t something I believe is an accepted normal thing to do, and that person has problems that need resolving.

      For them to live a long and uncomfortable life faced every day with the consequences of their actions, and removal of their freedom for their act of destroying the freedom of another

      Hi kiddo.

      My dad came from Belfast. During the troubles one of my cousins was murdered by a protestant foot soldier. He went to jail.

      Killing him wouldn’t bring my cousin back.

      One of mine was murdered. I’m still anti death penalty.

      Is the purpose of punishing criminals preventing people from doing crimes or to satisfy someone’s revenge fantasies? A state that has the right to kill its own citizens is a state with way too much power.

        Why don’t you kill him yourself? You seem to think you’ll be praised a hero. Why make someone else do your dirty work? Could it be because like the rest of us you don’t have the stomach for murder?
