I'd rather take a poll of inmates on this. From what I understand, people get used to prison life. The friends, the gangs, the drugs, the TV. - - - Updated - - - Also, if death is so much easier, why do most inmates exhaust EVERY option to not have that penalty?
No the depravity is pretending there are punishments so severe that a racist murderer of elderly blacks that are just too mean. That takes a special kind of moral apathy.
So not keeping him in a cage for 23 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year until his death? Sounds like the Gallows could make a comeback.
Some of the victims family member have offered forgiveness. They are better people than I will ever be. I would however, forgive his cellmate for making him his biitch!
Eh, a poll wouldn't really prove much, other than that people have different opinions on the matter. We are, after all, talking about something that is very subjective. I think religion has a lot to do with it. Most inmates "find Jesus" at some point, but I doubt many are confident in their salvation (after all, they are the bad guys). So, if you have the belief system, but think you will be (deserve to be) on the losing side of it, what that leaves you with is a fear of Hell upon death. If, on the other hand, you don't subscribe to that notion, then your situation after death is the same as your situation before birth...which is much a less scary prospect.
I disagree with the sentence, though. Don't get me wrong - the little SOB deserves to die. I just think he should've been given life and thrown into genpop. Let nature take its course... - - - Updated - - - If you ever had to teach 7th graders you have my sympathy and condolences...
The Trump cultist in full view - advocating rape as punishment and making up lies about others who point out the depravity of such beliefs.
The level of maliciousness, I would say. The guy who kills his wife during argument or because he catches her in bed with the mailman is still a murderer, but he acted in a moment of passion, and almost always regrets it. Roof isn't sorry he did it, he's sorry he got caught.
IF the trial was fair and proper there'd be no need to wait ten years because if it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that someone committed a homicide to 12 people fairly and justly in a trial, the odds of him/her doing it are very high. Yeah ideally no one innocent should be executed but it's not a perfect world. We could save millions per year by doing this. They also need to get this method right, with higher doses and no family viewing parties. I stick by my limit of ten years unless new evidence is being admitted.
It's even higher the cost of one year behind bars for taxpayers for a death row inmate. It's 90k a year and the execution I'm sure costs a lot. Say you have 1000k people on death row nationwide, multiply that by 12 and then 90k and thats the money you'll save. It comes out to just over a billion
You really are the perfect Trump cultist. Utterly bereft of any functioning morality, given your advocation of rape as a form of punishment, and when called on it resort to make-believe, insult, and smear.
Another lie. I said if he was raped I wouldn't share any tears. But go ahead and defend the racist murderer if you must.
You know, one of the statements that Roof made while he was in court was that he knows what he did, and if he had to, he would do it again. Those statements should make it so that he doesn't have any appeals, and should be executed immediately.
No one is defending the murderer. Why do you keep putting the word "racist" in front as if he requires some extra special punishment like rape. I am sorry, but that is SICK. He has been sentenced to death which I think he wants. He was not remorseful, and he will die for what he did according to the jury. End of story.

Wilson told ABC News this morning that a plea has been reached in Roof's state case, in which he is accused of nine murders, but said she will not release details about the plea agreement until the court hearing, which is set for April 10 at 1 p.m. In an email sent to victims' family members today, Wilson wrote, "The plea is negotiated which means it is 'carved in stone.'" Dylann Roof sentenced to death, 1st to get death penalty for federal hate crimes Dylann Roof tells jury 'there's nothing wrong with me psychologically' Dylann Roof tells jury, 'I still feel like I had to do it' Dylann Roof sentencing: Jurors cry as victims' families share stories of loss Wilson told The Associated Press that Roof's guilty plea in state court will be in exchange for a life sentence in prison, avoiding a potential second death sentence. It also allows Roof, who has been in the Charleston County jail awaiting the state trial, to be transferred to federal custody, the AP reported. In the email to victims' family members, Wilson wrote, "Our goal is to provide an insurance policy to the federal conviction and sentence. The most effective way to do that is to secure a guilty plea for a life sentence and get the defendant into federal custody." Roof, 22, was sentenced to death in January on federal hate crimes charges for killing nine black churchgoers at a Bible study session in Charleston, South Carolina, in June 2015. The emotional federal trial included testimony from two women who survived Roof's rampage. Roof's sentencing marked the first time a death penalty verdict was rendered in a federal hate crimes case, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
Maybe the County can charge him with murder as well.......and they can spend a few million more dollars to get a third death penalty. Then we can continue to the ignore the fact that far more White people die on a daily basis as a result of black on White hate crimes that are not prosecuted.......we are essentially experiencing a race war with only one side fighting.......which is what drives people like Dylan Roof to do what he did......
And the genius is the cost of the time spent on death row is averaged in, when Libs claim the DP is more expensive than life. /wall
