TranscriptAlabama suffocated a man to death in a gas chamber tonight after starving him so he wouldn't choke on his own vomit as they did it. And this was deemed perfectly legal by multiple courts in the vaunted American legal system.

That's what happens when you value institutions over people.

So you are totally fine with a justice system that let Emmett Till's murderers go free, and slaughtered a man who lost his daughters to a fire he didn't start? Absolutely monstrous.

As stated before our system is not perfect. You seem all too eager to let those who have murdered, raped, and destroyed entire families live full lives while their victims are dead or suffering.

And you seem all to eager to let the state kill innocent people, as long as guilty people get killed too.

No I’m eager for Justice to be served. Something you don’t seem to have any interest in.

A life sentence is justice served.

Not for the victims who can’t live a full life.

A life in prison is justice for taking a life.

Many families of the victims who will never see their loved ones again will disagree with that sentiment.

Many families of victims who will never see their loved ones again will also agree. Either way, it doesn't make it untrue.

Weren't you accusing me of making emotional arguments just a few hours ago?

I am using the only type of argument you seem to understand.
