Death Penalty

The Proof is Out There (But Not Where You Think)

UPDATE: Just found this video. I think it’s worth your time.

It’s interesting to me how much traffic on X, in my timeline at least, the conversation over capital punishment has gone in the last day since the Pope (you know, that Catholic dude in Rome) made an explicit statement condemning the act. What I found surprising is the number of people commenting on the tweet by the Pope that fervently disagreed and some( okay, 2 that I saw) actually included verses from various New Testament books that confirmed their opinion.

Committing Murder on Live T.V.

I’m against the death penalty. There I said it(again). It’s been years since I posted about this subject and I’m not going to write specifically about this barbaric practice here, but who is about to be executed. On live T.V. (maybe). Who am I referring to in this blog? Former Major(U.S. Army) Nidal Hasan, otherwise known as The Ft. Hood Shooter as he killed thirteen in November 2009.

Many of you know of Courtney Heard, AKA “Godless Mom” and that she is a fierce anti-death penalty advocate. She has been communicating, via mail with a man on death row in Texas for a crime that is suspicious in that none of the evidence seems to prove that this man, awaiting execution, actually committed the crime he has been sentenced to death for and remaining there for decades while his case is being appealed.

I used to be in favor of the death penalty. It was years, no, decades ago. What was it that made me anti-death penalty, today I can’t say other than I came to a conclusion that the death penalty was not about justice for victims, but rather revenge from society.  It’s shameful to have to say that even today, the majority of Americans still support this barbaric punishment.
