What's so sad is that you guys could have a good argument when it comes to innocents and corruption in the system, but you focus on morality and the "prison is worse than death" myths instead. If you're trying to make me feel sorry for a guy who planted a rice cooker bomb in front of an 8 year old kid; or a guy who shot up babies and kids at a theater; or a guy who shot church goers based on race, it isn't going to work. My sympathy is 100% for the victims.

There's only one spree killer I have legit sympathy for and it was this guy named Charles, who was the perpetrator of the Texas school shooting in the 60s. Apparently he had a huge tumor in his head and literally could not control his behavior.

There should be a debate on death penalty reform, not "oh man it's so immoral to painlessly inject a guy who shot up a theater full of people trying to enjoy a Batman movie!"


Tell me where in my argument I said anything about prison being worse than death or said that I held any sympathy for a killer? Please, point out even one example.

My argument is, and has always been, that the death penalty doesn't provide any benefit to society, and because our legal system isn't 100% accurate it cannot be trusted with deciding if someone gets to live or die. I'll also add that I think our Justice system should be above emotional reactions such as revenge.

You don't seem to have much of a case against my argument, so I'm interested to see what you post next.
