Torture? No.
I'm all for the death sentence and I'm glad he got it, but torturing someone is not okay especially in a first world country. Just pump him up with cyanide and be done with it.
I have absolutely no burden to prove to you that you are a tribal. It is self-evident to practically everyone who has read that thread. You're obligated to defend yourself as long as you want to claim you aren't a tribal.
Whether or not you think you aren't tribal is irrelevant to everyone because you so obviously are.
I wonder if Cantaloupe would be as enthusiastic about that guy dying as he was for the Boston bomber.
That said, I really didn't' care. Death is probably the easy way out, life in a supermax prison sounds like hell.
You plucked two posts out of a very long thread. Please read the following article and then try again:

This thread is pretty much the entirety of it. You subtlety (and later blatantly) accused black people and minorities of being lazy inferiors who earned their place in society all by themselves. Then you accused me of 'supporting whites being segregated' and then committed forum Self Delete and got permanently banned.
Literally everyone in that thread agreed that your posts (and you, by extension) were tribal.
But we're talking about the death penalty, yes?
I'm sorry, I thought we were arguing death penalty versus life imprisonment. Do you see the problem here?
No, the purpose of the justice system is not to provide the plaintiff's families with emotional catharsis. The purpose is to separate the criminal from society. That's all. If that's the justification for spending tax money on these kinds of cases, then it should be illegal.
If your ancestors were slave-owners, they probably wouldn't lynch them anyway since they've gotta have someone to pick their crops.
this makes less sense
I'm not entirely against the death penalty. I think it's pointless and makes our nation come off as barbaric, but ultimately it doesn't anger me because the people who get sentenced to death have no business on this planet anyway.
However, if you're going to support the death penalty, at least be straight about why you're doing it. The two reasons that people support the death penalty are revenge and amusement. The families of the Boston bombing victims want him dead so that they can feel like their loved ones' deaths are 'avenged'. Likewise, everyone else wants him dead so that they can chuckle and mutter to themselves, "Hah, bastard got what he deserved!". The point of the justice system is to do neither of those, but rather to isolate dangerous people from the rest of society. Both life imprisonment and execution accomplish that, but execution is far more expensive (by account of all sources).
I think Cantaloupe's ancestors might disagree.
Because you're condoning torturing another human being for amusement.
A deplorable and terrible human being, yes, but it's still a stuffty thing to do. Just because you do something bad to a bad person does not make that act right.
The only way to describe this is forgeted up. You are just as bad as him if you take joy in the suffering and death of another human.
He was a pawn played by his older brother. He was extremely young and believed eternal glory would await him in heaven. He only killed 2-3 people, which isn't enough to be executed in a usual court. He is being executed because of the fear and the injuries, which people can recover from. The only unforgivable thing is the deaths.
The death penalty is also EXTREMELY expensive. Many times more than life in prison.
It's funny how many people in America are for this kind of stuff, but then condemn countries like Saudi for the same thing. lmao
Inhumane.
While he is deserving of the death sentence i take no pleasure in the fact that it IS a death sentence.
