King and two other white men were convicted in the brutal East Texas murder of Byrd, who was black. King was the second man executed for the crime; another man is serving a life sentence.
Yeah the death penalty is wrong and all but uhh, I'm not losing sleep over someone killing a racist piece of shit like this.
Rest in piss you piece of shit.
they teach you those mental gymnastics in the circus?
You can not like something but still be fine with it happening.
The death penalty is flawed but the I don't really care that this guy got it. Personally my opposition to the death penalty is more rooted in the danger of innocent people being put to death by mistake. In cases where the perp is clearly guilty and unrepentant? I consider it a kinder and more morally justifiable option the life without parole.
Yeah honestly I have no problem with evil people being killed, it's the fallibility of the justice system I have problems with.
Only problem with the death penalty I have is innocent people can be executed. If it was reserved for people who absolutely 110% without a doubt committed the crime, with evidence such as video or admission of guilt with details to back it up, I'd be okay with it. But that's never going to happen. The justice system isn't perfect. You essentially have two people who are professionals at misleading, misdirection, and lying, battling it out with each other, trying to convince 12 people of their side, and those 12 randomly picked people could be intelligent, or dumb as rocks. The death penalty shouldn't hang on that
This man had no regrets murdering an innocent man. As much as I hate the death penalty for what it does to both parties involved, this man deserved it.
We'll i for one fully support the death penalty. As long as they have full proof and or admit being guilty, fucking get rid of them. We value shitty humans too much, i see no reason to keep around such filth.
