How can the United States expect its citizens not to murder when the judicial system itself kills people on death row?

They did some serious crime to earn that. What bothers me more is American cops & the example they set. As to many follow the cops example of what is right. & we can see how this cops in schools is working out with more violent children & coward when called on. There is a big problem much more than death row.

The U.S. judicial system does NOT kill anyone. The judicial system sentences the criminal based on a wide array of reasons.

If you can't see the obvious difference than there is no hope for you. I understand the arguments against the death penalty but you can't compare murder to the death penalty.

Non sequitur. Are you saying that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind?

Once execution finalized, a convict in US has had, and, lost 15 appeals. DNA tests prove he is guilty. This person isn't "punished", a killer is removed from society.

I was in Florence East when 2 put down in Florence S. Took them 45 minutes each to die. Awful, but, these guys were Damn Guilty. Still, we all agreed a bullet would have been more humane.

That is the one of the stupidest questions that I have ever heard! The judicial punishment for murder is execution! It's what happens when you do what's wrong the reason that there's so many killings in the United States now is because the death penalty has become so Lax! If people knew for certain that if they killed somebody in any other manner except self-defense that within 30 days they would be publicly executed in front of everybody without Mercy there wouldn't be a bunch of killings anymore. Judicial execution is a punishment and a deterrent so that you do not become a murderer. Putting a person in a jail cell for 30 years or life places the tax burden $400,000 per person on you and me the hell with that sht! If you kill somebody you need execution not to waste $400,000 of my money hell no!

I got no problems with death row. Only cruel, premeditated crimes get that punishment. I don't have a whole lot of sympathy where that is concerned. What pisses me off is class inequality. When you have the mega rich and the dirt poor living in the same country then resources are hogged by some while others struggle to survive. Granted some people are just evil, but most crime exists because society has done people wrong and it makes them not give a sh*t about complying with something that is not working for them.

That's why they call it "death row" you know. There are some crimes and criminals who deserve the sentence of death. Society has the obligation to remove these people from among us.

A total of 25 death row inmates were executed in the United States in 2018. Considering we often have almost 18,0000 murders in a year, the chances of getting the death penalty are lower than winning 500 dollars in the lottery.

Two wrongs never make a right.

Because if they murder then they’ll be on death row to simple
