The Trump legacy
Since July there have now been 13 executions making
TRUMP THE PRESIDENT
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
MOST EXECUTIONS
PER TENURE.
I do my best to give other people the respect that I would like to have.
While I believe that capital punishment should be reserved to very grave and unusual circumstances, I give respect to those who believe that there are circumstances where capital punishment is the valid response.
This is not what appears to be happening here. It appears there has been a substantial increase in capital punishment for political reasons.
It this is the case, than Trump and/or those responsible are guilty of murder.
Why? If people are being put to death for no reason other than a political base wants some prisoners put to death, this no longer a punishment for certain crimes, but instead a murder to please a bunch of people.
No punishment should be done to please a group of people. A trail should be held. A person found guilty and the punishment is done according to the laws of the state.
Technically, this appears to be the cases. Except there has been pressure from some people to get a few folks killed by injection. A certain number of capital punishments to please a crowd no longer is a punishment for breaking a law, but becomes murders to please a few folks back home.
Punishments of any kind should be about the law. Not acts to please some people.
When it is no longer about the law, it becomes mob rule.
Of course this news that I have shared is not new to most folks on this thread. It has been mob rule now for four years.
Just a little over 8 hours, Biden will be our president. We can return to rule based on written laws and agreed consequences.
