Not as barbaric as the murder he committed.
By why stoop to that level?
This is gonna sound fucked up, but him being murdered by the state was much more of a mercy than being raped, tortured and enslaved behind bars for the entirety of his natural life because of concern he may have been innocent.
Like people dismiss the state taking away large chunks of people's lives because of the "at least they're alive" argument, but you can use that to justify rape and abuse and all sorts of things that are very clearly worse than death.
If I was in his shoes, I'd have demanded expedited execution and so would all of you, if you knew truly what goes on behind bars.
Perhaps you should do something about that "raped, tortured and enslaved" part so the death penalty seems better than prison? Prison is supposed to keep dangerous people away from society and rehabilitate them if possible.
People in prison should be safe from such crimes happening to them.
I really don't understand how people are okay with this "he's going to be killed in prison" sentiment of someone is sent there for very bad crimes when his sentence is "prison" and not "death". Prison should mean being locked away safely from society having time to think about their crimes - nothing else.
If you cared, why wouldn't you go out and force them to change instead of arguing on the Internet with an elephant?
The only way I as a pink drunken elephant could do anything about it is if I butchered millions of people in a brutal civil war to shut down the entire jail system and violently overthrow the U.S. government. Is that what you want, or are you demanding I instead submit to your opinion and advocate your perspective and feelings on the matter like some pink drunken robot? As if you ranting on the internet about it has done anything to change the system or save any lives?
Grow the fuck up. My opinion on the matter will not change and your mental gymnastics won't change the fact that death really is better than prison in the U.S.
The only way I as a pink drunken elephant could do anything about it is if I butchered millions of people in a brutal civil war to shut down the entire jail system and violently overthrow the U.S. government.

“Pro-Life”
If that's how you interpret "pro life" then you must be okay with this execution if you're "pro choice". The state "choose" to execute this man after all.
If that's how you interpret "pro choice" no wonder you want control over women's bodies..?
This seems like a poor choice of articles to discuss abortion in though. And yes, I know you didn't start it.
Do you mean to say it's a bad idea to interpret a political slogan literally and in a different context from where it is meant to be used?
I mean, did you make it past the first sentence in my comment?
... Yes? Not sure how the second sentence is relevant though.
Then exactly what fucking point were you trying to make. If you understood the words I wrote, how did I misinterpret yours? I clearly must have...
