Not because he doesn't deserve the death penalty and the world would be a better place without him, the punishment is no longer a deterrent to violent crime. Too many appeals, to many mistakes, shady prosecutors, inept defense lawyers, etc..etc.

Yes&no 1) he took a life so yes he should be held accountable. 2) he had heart issues he should remain life in prison cause he would end life eventually. People who have medical conditions that's on death row should be life in prison instead of leathal injection.

Cheryl Smith

The death penalty makes you what you hate - a murderer. The death penalty makes you a hypocrite. The death penalty is nothing more than collectivized sadism. Abolish the death penalty!

Some Old Testament passages, such as Genesis 9:6, Exodus 21:12-16, Leviticus 24:17-20, Numbers 35:16-18, and Deuteronomy 22:25-27, permit or require capital punishment for serious crimes against human dignity, such as murder.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Fred

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
