Do you know who Glenn Bennen and Leroy Fears are and what they did?

Poll question: Do you know who Glenn Bennen and Leroy Fears are and what they did?

Do you know who Glenn Bennen and Leroy Fears are and what they did?

Moderators, I think I have a valid reason for posting this question and this poll. I think it's of interest in light of other threads that have been posted recently, and I do have my reasons for my question and my poll. So I hope that you might leave my poll up, and people can vote in it. Thanks :)

To the people reading this, I'm not going to post who Glenn Bennen and Leroy Fears are and if people already know who they are could you PLEASE not state that in this thread...I'm interested in how many people don't know who they are.

1. Is this another argument against the death penalty quiz

2. Ding.

3. I really think that anyone passionate about this should get

involved at the state level, in an individual case. I think that is the only place where
political action can make a dent in this issue now.

4. I support the Death Penalty, so for me this isn't an argument against it

I posted this poll, like my earlier John Nixon poll.

This is in light of the dozens of Stanley Williams threads. I think there was one thread on John Nixon...and 70% of the people who voted in my poll said that they didn't know who John Nixon was.

I just wonder why Stanley Williams was all over the place...and the people who were against his execution were incredibly passionate about that...and yes, I did support his execution.

But I just wonder why the people who were so incredibly passionate about Stanley Williams' case, aren't as equally passionate about the John Nixon's, the Glenn Bennen's and the Leroy Fears'?

Leroy Fears abducted a 12 year-old boy, he took him to an isolated spot, whereupon he anally raped the boy, then tied him up and threw him alive into the river, whereupon the boy drowned.

I'd just like perhaps to have sometime an intelligent discussion about something like this...without everybody getting wound up from either side of the equation.

I'd also like perhaps sometime to have an intelligent discussion about why the likes of Stanley Williams and Clarence Allen appear to be more important to the Anti-Death Penalty people than the John Nixon's, Glenn Bennen's and Leroy Fears'

I suppose what I'm talking about is consistency here.

6. I also am for the death penalty

and I have the flame scars to prove it.

5. No, this is an argument for consistency, instead of inconsistency n/t

7. I understand

I watched Ben Ferencz, the chief prosecutor during the Nuremberg trials, I thought the trials were conducted fairly with an attempt to establish international guidelines.
The problem is everything is becoming politicized, the law should not be political it
should be impartial.
