Are you seriously going to place all Republicans in the same boat?Perhaps the criminals in your country are pussy cats while the ones here are not. They would proudly murder one of your family members, and refuse to tell you where they stash the body at. What do you do in that situation? Give them money so they can talk? Give them a plea deal? Yeah lets promise them that they wouldn't seek death if they tell the authorizes where he stashed your families members body at. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all, and they still refuse even if they were offered a plea deal.
50-100 years ago when cops were pretty much allowed to do whatever they felt was neccesary; there was ALOT of false confessions. Why? Because like Drunkenmage said, people will say anything, no matter the implications, to get someone to stop kicking the pl*** out of them.
Not everyone can torture or to execute someone, but someone has to do it. Criminals aren't going to play nice, and so they have to be tortured to the point of them cracking up.
Do you think people in Animal shelters are sick in the head for euthanizing healthy kittens/cats/puppies and dogs? Theirs just not enough homes for these animals, and not enough space. It takes a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$ to care for these animals.
You know it takes a lot of money for the death penalty too? In most cases, more than life in prison. The long court process, trial delays, legal loopholes... it all adds up. So your money argument doesn't hold up.
For someone who allegedly hates Republicans, you sure as hell sound like one.
He shares similar views as a lot of the popular Republican politicians. For this thread, I think its pretty fitting
