1 April, 1971
interesting random mix https://www.google.com/search?q=prin...1113&b ih=610 hunters n cops get worked up in battle: extremely viscous, harried, bad shot, multiple rounds .... testing proficiency in real time conditions is ? wonder what the teaching/guideline conditions are for targeting ? lot different than Sweden Norway England conditions for targeting 'terrorists' should be more exact in no kill/capture. we can start here. surrounding is best even in 'wheeee battlefield conditions' ol' potbelly car squab |

In the case of lethal injection executions, the phamaceutical companies of the primary fatal drugs used have generally declined to sell the drugs to the state for that purpose. In some cases, those drugs are manufactured in places where the death penalty is illegal which is a factor as well as the ethical issues involved. Interestingly, there is precedent for the government to co-opt any relevant patents and to manufacture the desired drugs themselves or to contract out said manufacture to a cooperative supplier. Yet while this is well-known, the government at either state or federal levels has not done so. Personally, I object to the death penatly on conservative grounds. If the government has no business taking one's money through taxation (as many conservatives believe), it certainly has no business taking someone's life. And since our justice system is imperfect and a percentage of people in prison were wrongfully convicted, the issue is even more fraught. You can release a wrongfully convicted person from prison and make some restitution to them, but you cannot release someone from the grave. http://tinyurl.com/yajf3mq8 https://www.innocenceproject.org/dna...united-states/ http://www.deathpenaltyworldwide.org...onvictions.cfm |

I think death is an acceptable penalty in those situations. Lawful execution after appropriate process does not offend me, but I have to admit my view of human life is colored by working ambulance during my formative years. I imagine veterans are even more callous. Dying after significant process and for a reason would bring me more solace than just dying for no particular reason except that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time -- like the kid at the finish line in Boston or the long-time school friends from Argentina on a NYC bike path, or [fill in the blank]. -- Jay Beattie. |
