US justice department resumes use of death penalty and schedules five executions

Via Iver
 ‘We owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system,’ William Barr said.

William Barr announces he has reinstated a policy dormant for 16 years, following authorization from Congress and signing by Trump


The US government is set to carry out the death penalty for the first time in 16 years, William Barr, the attorney general, announced on Thursday, despite criticism of capital punishment as “immoral and deeply flawed”.

The justice department scheduled the execution of five death row federal inmates for December and January.

    All arguments aside - both positive and negative regarding capital punishment, there are no repeat offenders. End of discussion.

      Will they apply the death penalty to those who have been, or currently involved in, a coup, treason, sedition?

      Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.

    Sounds like the doors are being opened for all the prosecutions of the "Elites" involved in the Jeffery Epstein case. There is definitely a need for some MAXIMUM PUNISHMENTS in that story. DAMN, even if only 1/3 of what is suspected/reported/known is revealed, and if only 50% of those who are most actively involved are indicted, tried, and sentenced. This whole Epstein, Pizza Gate, Lolita Express, underaged boys and girls, Human trafficking, Sex trafficking, Blood Letting, Adrenaline High, Cannibalism, Organ Harvesting, GLOBALIST SATANIC SEX CULT, Children being sacrificed to BAAL BULLSCHITT, CANNOT GO UNPUNNISHED on this world or the next.

    I will believe it when I see it. Betcha some liberal nutjob judge will stop the executions as being inhumane.

    Hello Mr. Townsend.

    airdad, often do some Democrats say certain things are "immoral", but from whence comes their sense of marality? It is from one of the original lies recorded in Genesis 3, "ye shall be as gods"...that is from their own morality rather than from whence comes our "common law", the Word of God. --Ron W
