DeleteAnd yet,there will be howls of protest by many in this country who oppose all executions.
ReplyDeleteLefties often claim that those who oppose abortion by saying that all life is precious are hypocritical if they support capital punishment. They conveniently leave out the issue of "innocent" life.
hypocritical if they support capital punishment.
DeleteExactly.
They all seem to deserve death, soon. But I don't see why any of these are federal and not state crimes. Murder is normally state. Are there seriously no federal criminals who deserve death? I nominate joker zernaiev... Boston bomber.

That is a tough post to read. Had to pause a few times. The degree of depravity. Feeding them to sharks is a quick death. Put each one in a tank with a only a "few" hungry piranhas. Slow, painful, excruciating. Air it live on TV or livestream it. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't bat an eye.
DeleteIndeed, murder is usually a state level offense. The Federals can get involved if the murder is part of interstate, or multi-state criminal enterprise. Individual states might not have the jurisdiction or the resoures necessary for such an operation or, in some cases, the political will. The Federals have lots of resources to draw from and a different perspective than the "locals".
ReplyDeleteThat is the good and bad of "federalism". If there is an "interstate hook", or now a civil rights aspect, the big machine can invite itself into your game.
