Torture is not a legitimate argument for or against the death penalty. Killing people is wrong. Dylann Roof was wrong to do it. Government is wrong to do it in the name of the people.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanG 1 #502 December 16, 2016 Prison and the death penalty are about both removing a threat and punishing behavior that society deems worthy of punishment. Roof's actions are deserving of punishment. Do you disagree that he should be punished? Going down your apparent path, anything short of putting him up at Club Med (removed from society) is torture. That's not a very realistic position. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob_Church 7 #504 December 20, 2016 If people want to do away with the death penalty then they should put their time and energy into pressuring the government to keep their end of the agreement when someone is sentenced to life in prison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
