Reply #104: I hate rapists, too. But not so much that I become a murderer, myself.

When you spout right wing bullshit, it's a pretty good bet you're a right winger.

Surely you know that we have such a tilted and corrupt justice system that we can't depend on it to tell us anything about what really happened in any criminal case, especially when the accused is black and/or poor. We've got prosecutors who are fighting the testing of DNA evidence in death penalty cases, so that their tally for winning cases is kept intact. Several years ago, a Republican governor saw so much of a problem with the justice system in his state that he commuted all of the sentences of those on death row to life in prison. Something is dreadfully wrong with our system of justice in this country, and yet you continue to support the death penalty, which only serves to exacerbate that injustice.

And here, you support not only the death penalty, but the death penalty for RAPE? That's a right wing thing, friend. I'm just calling it as I see it.

But, look....why don't you just be polite and start your OWN THREAD about your opinions on these issues? This thread is one asking for people to sign a petition to save a man's life, not for the purpose of airing your pro death penalty opinions.
