If state executions are so important…why can’t we film them?

[OddBeMe]

If they have such an affect on crime, the states shouldn’t have a problem advertising it. Like the Vietnam war being broadcast, every death and gory detail.

But states attorney and courts keep saying “no”. Funny huh?

Gas chambers were outlawed only after enough witnesses came forward to say how much the convict suffered asphyxiating on cyanide.

i think executions should be drawn out exactly how the victims were killed. if they had multiple victims it could be a lengthy process, but i do believe in an eye for an eye. murder victims don't get to prepare for death.

i don't believe in death row unless you starved, kidnapped and/or held your victims. you're not given a date when you will die. it just happens. and that person should have that same fear that the victims endured.

back to your question.

maybe they aren't filmed because they aren't executed by any regulations at all? maybe each related victim gets to put a slow stab into them and draw out a painful death? i'd be okay with that for a real murderer. even some of those life sentencers that took pleas...

I agree. Pay per view event!! When people realize what's being done in their name the majority will support banning it.

[OddBeMe]

You completely missed the point, made a separate good point and did it with an exclamation. Thats the trifecta.

[DrPepper12]

Ok, they don't prevent crime.

If you give the government the power to kill you then you are the ultimate bitch.

[OddBeMe]

You want to give Trump dictator power you bitch.

[Juxtapose]

You are letting your emotions get the better of you. Think about this, when have I ever said I wanted Trump to have dictatorship? Realistically the only thing you could ever trust with a benevolent dictatorship is an alien or an artificial intelligence that can't be hoodwinked by humans.

Not to mention I am on your side on this particular issue. Don't push your allies away when lives are at stake. These people that are killed by the government are more important than what you and I think of Trump. It's important that we join together for important issues and don't alienate potential support.

[OddBeMe]

You think he shouldn’t be tried for obvious crimes.
You want him to be elected where a Repub Congress would give him all the power.

How is Trump relevant to your original question about state executions being televised? That was more interesting than arguing about Trump when we see Trump in such polar opposite ways.

[OddBeMe]

You brought up govt power. And since Trump, the right wing has changed so much of America through national govt power.

[Juxtapose]

No not really.

[OddBeMe]

lol, you have serious blinders.

[Juxtapose]

On the contrary, Biden has been making radical changes and Trump is the cure.

[OddBeMe]

What changes?

[Juxtapose]

Inflation, DEI, illegal immigration skyrocketing, trans stuff, general incompetence that is a unbecoming of a president, prioritizing criminal aliens over veterans, the Afghanistan withdrawal, the diary of his daughter which has been confirmed to be true..

And to finish with what I can think of off of the top of my head, the absolute weaponization of the doj against his prime political opponent. The hush money trial and shit like that would not happen to anyone that is not named Donald Trump. Luckily these cases are falling apart from what I can see and even CNN analysts are saying this is a political witchhunt.

They don't want people to see them torturing prisoners before killing them.

[dustybiker2]

.😂.

Oh that came off callous.. supposed to be a reply to @DrPepper12 chain of comments. Too early for gag.. clearly.

Evidence is only meant to prosecute crime not save a person from actual execution, silly.

[OddBeMe]

You heartless…it is funny
