For the past several years, those
states that still utilize capital punishment to reduce recidivism of heinous
crimes, have been under fire from activists attempting to get those states to end
those killings.
Let’s take this opportunity to
review several issues.
Activists are those people who feel everyone on the planet deserves the absolute right to not only live, but also make countless mistakes. Those “mistakes” include murder, rape, and
aggravated assault – all felonies – and all extremely serious. Most have no lives.
Recidivism is the recurrence of commission of crimes, ad nauseum.
Capital punishment is the penalty for committing serious, heinous
crimes, with extreme prejudice. That
means those crimes are so horrific in nature, and the criminal proves to be
unrepentant, the only punishment remaining is death. Death administered by the state can be any
number of ways, determined by the individual state.
Many states have outlawed capital
punishment altogether because activists have muddied the truth about such a
serious, non-reversible penalty being racist.
However, those states that still apply the death penalty where necessary
sometimes use various methods to conduct business.
Activists who so avidly wave The Constitution
in our faces when it comes to the Second Amendment and the First Amendment, and
abortion, found the words, “cruel and unusual punishment,” therein.
Their twisted take on those words
in the Eighth Amendment have been convoluted by lawyers so desirous and agog
about releasing convicted murderous felons into anyone’s backyard – except
their own – they have bastardized the meaning of protection for the innocent
population at-large.
Still, some brave states have
kept capital punishment in its arsenal of protection of its people. To assuage the fears of those vocal,
misinformed activists, those brave states offer the death penalty in a variety
of effective methods.
Depending on the state, the
express lane to St. Peter can be via electrocution, the gas chamber, firing
squad, hanging, and lethal injection.
All are very efficient and very final.
And, in some states, death row
inmates have the ability to select a method of termination.
It seems that doctors feel lethal
injection is the most humane way to execute people. After all, that is the same system used to
help our beloved pets go on Animal Heaven.
Unfortunately, pesky lawyers and
activists cry, “Foul,” as a final appeal up until the last second, for
humanity. For humanity, I said. Not humanity for the long-deceased victims,
but for the criminal who has now found God.
That’s good news, because they’re headed His way very soon.
This is where I found irony in
this cesspool-like legal quagmire.
Their bill would allow for the
outright killing of a baby – which some activists call an “unviable life
source” – for any number of lame reasons, including a "woman's right to choose."

Newly elected Virginia Governor
Ralph Northam-(D), a pediatric neurology specialist, agreed with Del. Tran’s
bill. Unfortunately, the public went
ballistic and demanded more information on this appalling idea to simply murder
innocent babies at the will of the mother.
Co-sponsor Del. Adams quickly
learned her loyalty to such sick, dreadful legislation could not be
hidden. Her excuse was that she didn’t
thoroughly read the bill, and merely signed the bill “in solidarity with fellow
women.” Quite the legislator, I’d say.
Unfortunately, both Gov. Northam
and Del.
It was Mahatma Ghandi who said “A
nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members.”
Those are usually the oldest and
youngest of civilization.
And there’s another election on
the horizon.
