You completely ignored the most important part to continue harping on your personal qualms.
That is a perfectly reasonable compromise. I too feel that life imprisonment is worse than death, but most people being wrongfully executed do not. You can acknowledge the superior solution then continue on your personal experience.
Not to diminish your experience, but Marcellus Williams went through far, far more than you have. He disagreed. So since you haven’t been through pain and helplessness at the whim of government as he had, is your opinion worth nothing next to his?
Of course not. Everyone can have an opinion on the death sentence. I’m sorry for what happened to you, but it doesn’t automatically make you right.
I directly addressed that first point, so I'm gonna leave that one alone. You also think it's like they tell you in school and news.
Where? I reread this thread and all I see is the same complaining about your personal situation. You only replied one time to that comment, and there was no attempt at justifying anything.
It seems like you suffered significant trauma and it’s affected your worldview heavily. You saw a story about someone being executed despite evidence of their innocence and came in here not to suggest a better path but to say death > imprisonment and keep bringing up your situation. And yeah, that genuinely sucks and we all wish it didn’t happen. But your contribution here is based on your feeling of misery and helplessness which isn’t useful because the man who actually was executed didn’t want it.
The exact comment you replied to. The courts don't operate how they say they do. They don't give you choices. Your defense doesn't matter. The stuff in this news post is just to keep you all busy. You don't know because you see what you're shown.
If you think someone is bad enough to kill, you should kill them yourself and don't drag it out.
This? This says nothing about the proposed solution— which should satisfy you— or policy as a whole. Just personal gripes.
That’s exactly what they did to Marcellus Williams.
Let me guess the next comment: bleak worldview, we only know what school told us, personal gripe.
