Ronnie Lee Gardner to die by firing squad.

It's not one person murdering another, it's the people of that state saying that individual cannot cope with normal society, and whose crime was bad enough and the evidence strong enough that the individual was sentenced the death penalty.

The death penalty absolutely is murder. You take an unarmed man, and kill him. You may add whatever rituals, procedures, and slick word-games you want to try and rationalize this, but you are killing someone in cold blood. This to me is a state-sanctioned murder, no matter how detestable the victim of the death penalty may be.

The death penalty is generally not ordered by a judge in a case unless there is virtually 100% certainty of the verdict.

Virtually one-hundred percent? Virtually? That is unacceptable. If one innocent person has died because of the death penalty, then it is a monstrosity. Over the last decade there have been on average 5.5 exonerations per year for death row inmates. The death penalty is cruel, unusual, heinous, and based on these numbers gross negligence on the part of our government.

Well I'm sure not gonna give him a gun, then kill him. I can actually see where S2 AM is coming from. Plus, seriously, that guy looks like a demonic thumb.

You seem to have completely missed the point. The point was that the death penalty is the cold-blooded robbery of the life of a man who poses no threat.

He'd pose a threat if I gave him a gun, now, wouldn't he?

Well, of course he would. As would anyone.

I still think you're missing the point, but perhaps you could elaborate on what you are trying to say.

He looks like an evil cone head. If I give him a gun and set him free, what example am I setting for Mdselctr?

Well, of course he would. As would anyone. I still think you're missing the point, but perhaps you could elaborate on what you are trying to say.

In case you haven't caught on yet, Skurai is being stupid. Probably intentionally, but it's hard to tell.

I see.

Well in that case, hey Skurai:

I actually recall hearing about the fact that one of our southern states exonerates just as many people on death row as they execute. That's a pretty alarming statistic.
