No he doesn't. That's correct. There have been some improvements in the quality of life for people of color in the South but when it comes to the criminal justice system, blacks accused of capital crimes are less likely than whites to obtain a competent legal defense. In terms of criminal justice, Southerners are much more bloodthirsty than non-Southern Americans. Is it their fundamentalist christianity coming into play? I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one. |

That may be true of your average criminal that ends up taking a plea for jail time but when it becomes a capital case there has been plenty of representation for these people for the last 40-50 years. Otherwise you would not have a 20-30 year appeals process. Personally I would like to see the appeals process speeded up. It is not unusual that people eventually can be found innocent if you let a case get this cold. Evidence disappears, witnesses die, memories fade and it becomes a lot easier to get reasonable doubt, even for the most guilty person. There's an easy answer to eliminate doubt: eliminate capital punishment. Then you bump up against the other questions I have asked and are yet unanswered. #1 Where is the proportionality if you get the same sentence for running a pot farm and getting caught a couple times as you get for being a professional killer with 20 bodies on you? For that matter you can get life for running a stock scam, like Bernie. #2 What is the punishment for a lifer who keeps killing people in prison? #3 Why shouldn't a robber just kill all of his victims? Fewer witnesses, potentially the same punishment if he already has a record. Countries more civilized than the United States have done away with capital punishment. They have more civilized criminals. What did Sweden have? 50 murders last year? Maybe a half dozen were heinous enough to qualify for the death penalty in Texas. Send our death row inmates over to Sweden and lets see how long it will take until they want to kill them. For that matter just let them deal with a couple hundred of our "triple life or more" gang bangers in their prison system A bit over the edge there on sophistry, eh, fella? -- I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one. |

In terms of criminal justice, Southerners are much more bloodthirsty than non-Southern Americans. Is it their fundamentalist christianity coming into play? What an utter and complete bull**** generalization. States with the most executions since 1976: Texas has had 475 Virginia, 109 Oklahoma, 96 Florida, 69 Missouri, 68 Alabama, 54 Georgia, 52 Ohio, 45 North Carolina, 43 South Carolina, 43 Louisiana, 28 Executions in large numbers are mostly a Southern thing. The government of Missouri tried to secede. Oklahoma is as backwards a state as any of those in the South. Bloodthirsty. Fundamentalist. Executions. And this has WHAT to do with injustice towards blacks? |
