So this isn't a huge story or anything like that. Nothing earth shattering. I'm just wondering what kind of punishment, if any, people think this guy should get?

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/elderly-mom-killed-husband-who-couldn-t-afford-medication-cops-n575921

So this was an elderly guy in his 80's whose wife was sick and in pain. She had said in the past she wanted to die, but had apparently never specifically asked him to kill her. So when he became unable to afford her meds and didn't want to see her in pain he shot her.

What should happen?

It's xyz!
.....

All joking aside, the guy should be monitored for a while.

Sad, this is why assisted suicide for those still in full mental capacity should be legal

Yeah, i'd have to look the guy in the eye to really even get an idea what should happen.

Personally i'd have stolen money for the meds, but thats just me.

This is some Silent Hill 2 shit right there. It's difficult to judge the situation.

Not sure that's right wing logic as much as it is a stupid, nonsensical statement. You're nothing if not consistent.

I think if you take a life without just cause you should be executed. In this case..I feel for the guy and I think he did have just cause. At the very least I wouldn't call it murder, and I think you should execute murderers. This guy? I really wouldn't.

He'll probably get manslaughter..

Yes. Life is Precious and thus when someone takes it away from someone they should lose their right to it.

Jaden gets it RIGHT for once.

Doesn't sound like you value life very highly.

So executioners should be executed. And executioners executioners should be executed. And executioners executioners executioners should be executed?

There is a difference between killing within the law, and killing outside of the law.

Seems like you value your viewpoint to the exclusion of everything else.

Surtur
If you kill without just cause you need to be put down. You don't deserve mercy or to enjoy life or any of that. Even if the only way you enjoy life is via getting raped in prison and eating shitty prison food that is TOO GOOD for you.

I'd also either execute pedophiles or chemically castrate them before releasing them back into the world. That sounds harsh, but who cares? He is a pedo. He wasn't molesting a young child in self defense.

People have this weird thing where someone is "precious" by default, as if just their existence makes them special. It doesn't. You aren't special by default, you just aren't an evil dick by default. Some people love to believe we're all just super special little snowflakes.

Now people will say that the death penalty doesn't really deter a person from committing a crime, that might be true..but it's not about deterring people. Though if we put killers in "Saw" like situations maybe that would help? Though the plot twist is even if you "win" we still pump poisonous gas into the room at the end. In essence the murderers have to compete for the right to a painless death.

Again, barring extenuating circumstances, yes, simple as that.


This.
My post to Bardock wasnt (just) a dig.
His opinion(s) is pretty well known. He seems set on it to the point where discussion isnt even a possibility.
I get it, i have opinions like that (and in voicing them i realize i put myself in people's crosshairs) but, if people mess with me on it, i take it in stride. Hope he does too.

Bardock42
I don't actually have a problem with people who are pro-death penalty. I am personally not. What I was poking fun at, and what is ridiculous, is people that are for the death penalty that pretend that that is the stance that values life more. That's just absurd at the face of it. And generally most reasonable people who are for the death penalty do not claim to be for it because they value life so much.

It's xyz!

Life is sacred, but once that life acts unaccordingly, actions should be taken.

I don't know what "reasonable" people you speak of, but it sounds like you live in a bubble.

What reason do you think the average person is pro death penalty then? Just because they get off on killers being put down or what?

If someone didn't value life a lot then why would they demand the ultimate punishment when life is taken without reason? Valuing life doesn't mean you just automatically value everyone's life the same. You can value life in general, and the lives of those deserving of it.

Bardock42
Sure, you can value life in general. You just can't reasonably claim that you value life more than the people that think it should be preserved even in the face of wrong doing.

Look, I'm not an advocate for the death penalty but I have grown out of these arguments that equate state killing to murder.

It's not that the death penalty is murder, it's that murderers should understand the problems with killing.

Educated middle class white liberals understand why killing is wrong, people below that cushy level, however, do not.

Isn't the Death Penalty carried out in the name of the citizens of the state? Because if that's the case then you're encouraging the mass genocide of all United States citizens of legal age.

That is just a big fib spread by the Liberal Media. The GUMMINT don't let the Little People have any say in things any more.


Cause BLAME OBAMA!!!!!!!

If death penalty means taxes, then all amicans pay to wipe us out!

Think about that.

Flyattractor
Yes, but it also goes towards abortions, and giving welfare money to Drug Addicts, and paying for Bill Clintons blow jobs.

So Taxes are a big Lose Lose no matter how you look at it.

It's xyz!
First Lady bill needs more blowjobs while he runs the economy.
