This shouldn’t have lived long enough to have been peacefully but to death.

Of course, msm is saying it is the Trump administration’s doing.

I would feel privileged to arrange a meeting for scum like this.

Damn what scummy Bastard
Wife was no better to let that go on till the little girl was dead

Punishment for hurting a kid should be a quick but painful death.

“It is remarkable. To rush these executions during the pandemic and everything else, makes absolutely no sense” - Shawn Nolan, Esq.

Rush? He's been there 18 years! How much slower to you want the system to move?

I don't care what his skin color is, but if he did what he was accused and convicted of then he is a monster and the death penalty was the correct course of action.

Skin color means nothing to me, but why are we feeding these people that should be executed immediately.

Mother should be gutted as well.

So, he wasn't smart enough to understand the nature of his crime, but was smart enough to be a truck driver...ok

 

[1981K20]

Have you ever met a truck driver? Especially one who has started driving in the past 10 years? Many of them are sitting right there on that line with Forrest Gump

Agreed (there are retarded fuckin idiots in all occupations). But to be able to complete a log book, remember rules, engage in constant decision making and make reactive actions and interacting with the general population indicates enough intelligence that his lawyers didn't have a chance with that argument. Not liked they cared tho I bet

I can't get down with the death penalty.

A lot of us here distrust the government because of a history of government fucking up.
So you'l forgive me if I don't think the government should have the ability to decide who lives or dies.

Perhaps not in this case, but plenty of cases of lifers/death row inmates being proven innocent after years of incarceration.

one innocent put to death is not acceptable, and we all share that innocent person's blood if we all allow government to put people to death.

I don't care to read the story, skimmed it enough to know it was prolonged child abuse resulting in death.

Ok, he's a complete and utter scum. We're all agreed.

He should not be killed by the Authority of the State. That's all I'm saying. The State, and communities of people within it, are imperfect and not proper arbiters of the deaths of their own citizens. The ultimate penalty the State should hold is incarceration. The only time the State should use physical violence is confronting foreign aggressors and those who won't comply with the Law (arrest). That's it.

There is absolutely no justification for millions of sober, sane, rational people to marshal their power to escort some retard into a death cell and kill him. That should not be a legal possibility.

Too dumb to die yet competent enough to hold a CDL and work for a trucking company. :rolleyes:

Too dumb to be killed by the State, yet smart enough to operate some basic apparatus to make a living. Yes, correct.

If he can pass a CDL exam he’s smart enough to know to not molest children and murder them.

Shit like this, where there’s no doubt about his guilt. Where he was caught red handed. Where he repeatedly abused her before taking to a level causing her death, I have no problem with the death penalty. Dylan Roof should have been marched behind the courthouse and received a .40 to the base of his skull after his conviction. Same thing with Eric Frein. The Boston Marathon bombers. And so many others like them. We know they did it, they admitted to it and were caught with the blood on their hands, why are we paying for years in prison and countless appeals for people who can never be rehabilitated and will never contribute to society?

Other cases, when people are convicted based only on witness testimony or forensic evidence handled by lab technicians, yes, I support all the appeals and shit that goes on. People fuck up, mistakes are made. No one should lose their life because some nerd in a lab coat didn’t have his morning coffee yet and messed up testing evidence.

lots of people convicted "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that were found innocent after the fact. Even video evidence should be questioned at this point of technological ability to fake it.

Fact is that the state has killed innocent people. 100%.

I don't trust the government not to fuck up a wet dream, so I certainly am not going to trust them to decide who lives or dies in the penal system.

Bring back exile. Drop them off in the interior of Alaska and let them fend for themselves.

I am kind of with you on this one. Especially with how advanced DNA forensics has come. Anyone convicted over 15 years ago should be entitled to have all evidence in their case examined for DNA evidence that could exonerate them at the states dime. There have been too many people put to death by the state only later to have had the families get he evidence gone through again and had DNA prove the state wrong. Compounded with the fact that there were and still are in some areas municipalities that had/have a reputation for working together to get the conviction regardless the means necessary.

All that said some people hust flat out need killing. No amount of rehabilitation can or will change them and they become a huge financial burden on the people. Let them out and the behavior becomes predatory and innocents get hurt. Lock them up and it costs money.

A buddy of mine used to say something similar. He said give tgem a choice. The remotest possible part of Alaska or 120 miles out to sea. You make it back report and time served

ok, it costs money to lock people up.

how much money does it costs taxpayers when they fuck up and put someone to death that was innocent?
how much does all of the appeals process cost?
how much does the actual execution cost?
My state can't even get the drugs except on the black market, so they pay stupid fucking money to kill someone "humanely"

the numbers show that it's cheaper to house someone in a life without parole sentence than it is to put them to death.

Send them to me, no 120 miles of ocean, no cold AK.

He was smart enough to try and invent a lie to escape guilt.

This right here is the absolute proof that he appreciated the wrongfulness of his actions: "When the girl lost consciousness, Bourgeois’ wife pleaded for him to get help and he told her to tell first responders that she was hurt falling from the truck."

Steering wheel holders...not Truckers...lol
