People who shoot girls in Central Columbia will someday likely be on death row, if not stopped by a good Policeman.

Some people are not capable of changing and their predilections affect too many other lives. The world is better off without them.

Life in prison has proved NOT to be a deterrent. Death penalty is.

Romans 13:4, For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer (Sword refers to the govt’s authority to punish rebels, even by death)

Fred Jones was a kind man. Anyone who would kill him, and the others, in the manner that was done, deserves the full punishment of the law, without exception. Public hanging would be acceptable.

These degenerates that stay on death row for decades using state money for clothing, food, medical care, housing, etc should be put to death within 180 days of sentencing. Save the state millions

instead of funding the death penalty fund for an influx of therapist and psychologists and implement true rehab and make them do daily community work via supervision such as picking up litter or working in sanitation.

As long as we find one false convition in a thousand, we should halt this Barbaric behavior! Set the Example, not the standard of "If you hurt me, I hurt you!" and Don't give me the Bible says "An eye for an eye", that was before the dispossion of Grace given by Jesus Christ. Time to move forward.

Stupid decisions do cause unfair loss of life. We just lost 13 fine Americans because of a stupid decision. So we must be careful, but with capital punishment there are no repeat offenders.

Has that worked in the past? NO. Now we have prisons full of 'vacationing' murderers, getting 3 meals a day & cable & internet.

They don't want Kings, they want their authoritarianism back, which is what they didn't get when their failed appointed candidate who never got a single primary vote, was attempted to be installed as their continued fascist leader.

Millions protested, proving that there are No Kings in the USA. Thank you for protecting our President Donald J. Trump. We appreciate that so very, very much. Donald also thanks you. Bless all of your little hearts.

The 2025 document, which took years to create, says it all. We are losing the rule of law and our rights under this administration. I believe Trump is a puppet for the far right conservatives who want to alter or destroy our democracy.

We want to fix what was broken by Obama. The Biden era was horrific for our country, it stuns me anyone can condone that, much less think Kamala is qualified for squat.

We have a Federation, Presidential system, Constitutional republic, Federal republic. We do not have a democracy, and we have never had a democracy. Go to school, and learn.

Trump won the popular vote. That's democracy. LOL He also won all six swing states, and 95% of the counties in the USA.

Trump and his regime are breaking Constitutional rules like they're trying to set a record. They've set one. Most corrupt group of people in the history of America.

The only thing being protested here is Trump's landslide victory- spoiled children throwing fits, because they didn't get their way.

I just take witness to who join these protests. I know very soon the majority will die of old age, the rest are lazy and allergic to responsibility and accountability. So they will tear each other apart. Let them expose themselves.

These people are progressive socialist aka communist. Also anti semitism seems to run deep with them. Some have laughed and joked about the death of Charlie Kirk, many of these people are flat out evil. Others, nothing more than useful idiots.I can never agree with them. The represent nothing good

Where were these 'no kings' protests during the Obama/Biden admin? There was fascism and borderline dictatorship policies being pushed (green new deal, electric car mandates, gun confiscations, suppression of free speech, etc) and silence. Trump is not a king, so stop acting like a serf.

Donald is more powerful than a King, because he was elected, in a massive landslide vote, that was not fixed.
