Nathanial Woods - state sanctioned murder.
... The state MUST exact vengeance, that's its job you could say. People so completely misunderstand all this it's hard to talk about it, but the death penalty is RIGHT for murderers and it is in fact a violation of God's law to spare their lives.

quote:
However, less than four hours later, the Supreme Court denied to review Woods’s case and lifted the stay.
His death came after a storm of legal appeals and protests, including family members of the deceased officers. They argued that Woods, who did not actually kill the officers, and according to the trigger man had no part in the crime, is innocent.
This was neither justice nor vengeance, it was the unnecessary murder of a man not guilty of the crime he was executed for.
This death serves no purpose except to show that the death penalty is barbaric in a purportedly civilized country.
Everyone who condones the death penalty is an accessory to this murder.
You can have morality without justice, but you cannot have justice without morality.

Re: Nathanial Woods - state sanctioned murder.
This is a spurious argument. The validity of the death penalty is a completely separate issue from the fact that mistakes in judgment of particular cases may be made.
No Faith it just happened, it's real, a man innocent of the charges he was executed for was killed.
That is not justice, it is a miscarriage of justice that results in the unwarranted murder of a person.
Contrast that to life in prison, which ends in death of old age. An innocent person can be freed, a murdered person cannot be revived.
How is execution better?
