    It costs a hell of a lot more to execute someone, believe it or not.

    Edit: damn, y’all are some bloodthirsty motherfuckers.

      Only time it costs more is when the cops loses a lawsuit for unloading their clips on an innocent black person

      Only because the methods employed are stupidly wasteful and overcomplicated. The process needs to be overhauled in a logical and pragmatic way. The problem with current means of execution is that feelings were brought into the equation in the first place.

      Then allow executions within days with cheaper, more humane methods like bullets. The only reason it’s more expensive is because of you, and it should not be.

        Speeding up executions means more innocent people will be wrongfully executed. How many innocent people are you willing to kill to make sure this this asshole fries?

        You sound like a member of a Jim Crow era lynch mob. Screw due process, he just looks guilty. Yeehaw!

          And you know you don’t have a rational leg to stand on, so when called out on your shit, you do what any self-righteous, self-involved dipshit does: fall back to tired old stereotypes and meaningless insults.

          Why in the world would you think acting that way will convince anyone of anything? Convince me to change my mind?
