[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3082008, member: 10465"] I do not and cannot condone torturing anyone to death no matter how heinous their crime. The thought of that is repulsive to me. It is something straight out of the middle ages in my mind. I [I]do support[/I] the death penalty for certain particulary terrible crimes such as the rape and subsequent death of a child, for a particularly gruesome murder, for senselessly killing mulitple victims, for the evil done by a man like Steven Paddock or Timothy Mc Veigh, and for doing something as terrible and heinous as torturing someone else to death. But I damned sure want there to be no doubt, absolutely zero chance of error, before someone is executed. I do not think I can support the death penalty for so called crimes of passion, where a person kills another in the heat of the moment, without pre-meditation for example. The best example I can give for this example is coming home early one day catching one's wife with another man and shooting him. Toss him a couple bucks on your way out and tell him to go buy a better piece somewhere else maybe, but don't shoot the poor guy. But for certain crimes, yes, death is appropriate. And then when the sentence of death is carried out, just execute them and be done with it. Dead is dead. There is nothing gained by torturing someone to death, other than debasing yourself to the lowest form of humanity, that is. [/QUOTE]
