Christa Pike execution halted

[El Guapo]

No, I've already stated that because of this I'm against the death penalty. Because if we fuck up we can't take it back.

But I dont have sympathy for a lot of people who were executed.

It is.

I think she would have killed more people if she had the chance. The sadistic nature of how she did it sounds very serial killer to me. I can't prove this of course, so we'll never know.

Her circumstances no doubt played a part, but what she did was brutal. Lots of people suffer this brutality and don't do this. Christine Smellen died before she ever had the chance to live. She was shown no mercy whatsoever.

Saying all that, I wouldn't try to.execute her again. Commute her sentence to life in prison.

fully agree there

no I'm not. I may well want revenge terribly but if I exact that revenge I am wrong.

Kill or be killed, or killing in self defense is entirely different to a person being captured, imprisoned, tried and executed. what a nonsense argument

as is your minority report bollocks. it's got nothing to do with anything

You've never cheered, or approved of a Cork player who gave a dig to an opposition player who punched another cork player?

Was he not wrong to take such an eye for an eye approach. Maybe as you say my argument is nonsense and if you have not done the above then fair play to you, you are a man that practices what he preaches.

If on the other hand..........

I don't know why you are getting so agitated.

All I said initially was the argument about whether someone supported the death penalty or not was not cut and dried, but that on the whole I don't agree with it.

You basically responded by saying as a society we should be above that and that under no circumstances was it morally justifiable.

You then said when debating with Donald that yes you agree with him that in the most heinous of cases the death penalty is justifiable, but in its current application that is not what always happens, so hence you can't support it.

Not too dissimilar to what I was saying is it?

not agitated, but not interested with engaging with this mensa level logic.

ipso facto...

Look if all you can reply with is bollocks or nonsense as opposed to explaining why you think that, then don't be surprised if someone stoops to your level.

You are a muppet, see what you made me type.

read my posts.

I'm done with this thread.

If you had a time machine would you kill Hitler...

If you cheer a cork player digging a fella you must be okay with capital punishment..

What a fucking waste of time.

I've no interest in continuing this

No it isn't (I'll assume that comment was aimed at me, because of my views on it).

I used to be very anti death penalty. Then I got really into True Crime and the Nazi's. And reading and watching all that stuff has led me to questioning that stance. Because for as much as I'm mostly liberal in my beliefs, I also accept that there are some really bad people the world.

Crista Pike was dealt a really shitty hand in life. But none of that excuses what she did. I'd have had a lot of sympathy for her BEFORE she did what she did. But lots of people are dealt shitty hands and don't murder a young girl (she was 19). And do so in an utterly sadistic manner either. Collen Smellen must have died terrified, and in severe pain.

I'd say there was a very good chance Pike would have done it again, had she not been caught, and kept doing it until she was.

My sympathy lies with Collen Slemmer and her family. If that makes me an internet baddie, then so be it.

Not aimed at you at all.

Yeah I get it, there are some complete psychopaths and sociopaths out there that can't be fixed. I just don't think electrocuting them to death, hanging them or poisoning them to literally within an inch of their lives achieves anything even remotely positive.
Any state should show some leadership in how citizens should treat each other.

The governor of that state standing in front of the media and world "apologizing" for not killing a citizen correctly is fucked up and a metaphor for
American stupidity and moral bankruptcy in my view.
