Yep. Though I disagree with the methods they use...

put someone on death row for decades (average cost to house and feed a prisoner is 30K+ a year), then spend a fortune on a fancy drug cocktail to execute them painlessly...

fuck that... take them out back and shoot them, or hang them... takes a whole 5 minutes and doesn't cost taxpayers a fortune...

The electric chair ain’t that expensive either. Gotta have a 🍖 BBQ r@wildbill83
We can’t do that in our current society. It’s not humane. @wildbill83

@Spoiledbrat society has a twisted view of what is "humane"

we have homeless veterans and children dying in the streets without attention nor aid...

but executing some rapist/pedophile/murderer... oh no, we can't have that...
@wildbill83 I have zero problem executing criminals like you name. I believe I could flip the switch. But when someone is 'convicted' it means only that a jury of 12 or a single judge BELIEVE they are guilty.

At this site they list 162 people who were convicted and sentenced to death, served an average of 11.3 years on Death Row and then were pardoned, retried and acquitted or otherwise found not guilty of the crime(s) for which they were sentenced to death.

We can’t have people dying in the streets. We are above that. That’s my point though. @wildbill83

@wildbill83 Agree all the way with you there. We hardly have humane wars and conflicts, people hardly consider humane self defence.

Instead we keep the terminal ill, old and dieing alive in pain and misery wanting and begging to die, alive. Because it's humane!

@Mamapolo2016 compare that to the number of repeat offenders who were paroled, and the number of their victims.

Sure, the system isn't perfect. But it's absurd to have it cater to the few at the expense of thousands...
@wildbill83 So you think it's okay if I execute you wrongly because that will somehow compensate for a bad guy who got away?
