Scott Peterson Sentencing - Page 2

*JameO* · 03-18-2005, 02:53 PM

Yeah I agree with Jo Dawn on this one. The death penalty is too simple. He killed his own wife and un born baby and all he gets is a needle? He should have absolutely everything done to him that is horrible. Burned, Shot, Drowned, etc. Just make sure everything doesnt kill him before he drowns.

Give the guy shock treatments.Most of these guys should be locked up in the loony bin.A couple weeks ago.Police were searching a farm in Alberta the guy was growing drugs.

The Guy comes back later has a high powered rifle shots 4 cops dead.This guy should have been locked away to begin with.The guy was a troublemaker from the start.

Keep the wackos locked up and off the streets.

Not mentioning the bright possibility of scientific research in the fields of genetics or pharmacy. Testing on animals is immoral, testing on life-sentenced prisoners would be productive.

This is just sick. I'm sorry that I have to say this but first you people want to kill the guy in the most disgusting ways you could imagine, just because he killed his wife and child. He is not likely to be a serial killer. Sure, it was cold blooded and all, but imagine, if he ever gets out. Will he ever get a girlfriend again? Don't think so.

Then, you all get even worse, you want to use him as a friggin' lab rat. What the hell are you thinking? This is insane! After all, he is a human being. And he still has feelings, emotions, dreams, like every single one of you. How would you like to have a 3 inch needle up your arm to find out whether eel slime makes your hair grow faster or not?

Come on people, a little objectivity here...

EDIT: I am not defending that guy in any way. I am defending every single man or woman's right to live, to remain unharmed and all those funny rights we all are supposed to have.

I could so use a word for you...

Let me make it clear - my last post about prisoners used as guinea pigs was sarcastic and full of irony.

You have no idea how much faith in humanity that sentence just restore within me...

Thanks. Sorry for going off on your post so much, but stuff like that always makes me angry beyond thought.

What the hell... I hate the death penalty. I mean, Peterson is a digusting exammple of humanity (along with many others), but you're doing the same thing he did: Murdering. -_-

I tend to agree. but think about it like this.. what if it were your sister that he drowned and murdered.

*Duke* · 03-18-2005, 05:45 PM

Actually by very definition they is a clear distinction between murder and execution.

Murder - The unlawful killing of one human by another
Execution - a putting to death as fulfillment of a judicial death sentence

One is lawful the other is not.

By the way like the 8th amendment I personally support the death penalty but not torture.

*Hannah* · 03-18-2005, 05:48 PM

...If it were my sister, then I would do the same shameful thing he did and murder the asshole before he's executed. But um, yeah.

*Anarky* · 03-18-2005, 05:52 PM

Then the facts would be different. You'd be emotionally affected. You all don't/didn't know Scott or his victims (except for GK maybe) nor are you his relatives.

You want to kill all those who kill? Have you never eaten meat? That animal died for you. Have you never killed an insect? You killed it, you murdered it. Never wore a fur coat? Never eaten an egg?

I don't say that I've never done these things, actually I killed a lot of living beings. With every lunch I eat, I finished off at least one cow or calf? What do you think, the calf's mom wants for a penalty for me, because I ate her child although I wouldn't have needed to? Death? Go figure... and don't come up with the "humans are superior"-blabla.

So if you want harder penalties, then I suggest you could also apply laws for killing animals, couldn't you. Good bye, 95% of earth's population.

But no, you never knew the animal. Most of you never ate something you knew. Most of you never killed something you knew. So that is okay. You can kill it as long as you don't know it. What about Scott's wife and child? you knew them?... Didn't think so.

And no matter how hard his penalty is, his wife and child are not coming back. They won't be alive again, just because he is dead.

I'm a vegetarian, I eat pretty much just fruits, vegetables, and grain products. And I'm terrified of bugs, I don't ever touch them. Also, I'm VERY MUCH against fur.

I'm a good person =)

My point still remains that it could argued as cruel punishment. It's a stark contradiction to the Judeo-Christian our society was built upon. We're gonna slap the ten commandments court houses then sentence people to death. Just something to think about.

In any event, the bastard deserved what he got (or will eventually get).
