Yeah, and the mother of the police officer who he allegedly killed is on right now. I find her incredibly annoying.I am watching CNN right now and they say the Supreme Court denies his appeal and he will be executed as soon as Georgia officials get the word.
Doesn't matter what you call it. The same question still needs an answer. What percentage of "not legally sufficiently guilty" people should be allowed to be wrongly executed by the state is acceptable to you to maintain executing the "legally sufficiently guilty?"
Uh I am not a big fan of the death penalty
on the other hand I believe in full criminal and civil immunity for the targeted victim of a felony who kills or maims an assailant in the transactional sphere of a felonious attack

"Self defense is ok"
I said what you said, but in less words. I don't think anyone is arguing that you shouldn't be allowed to defend yourself to the extent that is necessary.
A 90-year old woman in a wheelchair may be hell-bent on killing you with her bare hands, but I don't think that justifies you shooting her, personally.
Imminent, mortal danger that you cannot easily escape? Sure. Blast away.

That's true. However, I always feel a bit uneasy with the almost arrogant satisfaction family members of victims get with regards to the death penalty, especially when so much doubt surrounds the case.Cooper's question was stupid though. What do you think of Davis? Well not **** she is going to be like I don't like him.
You are dodging.
Simple question.
Facts
#1) You are for the death penalty
#2) Death penalty means you will kill those that are not guilty
Therefore if you are for the death penalty continuing and knowing that it will kill those innocent of said crime, you have to have a threshold that you will accept the innocent being killed to maintain a pro-death penalty system.
What is your percentage/threshold?

Those chances could be moved close to zero if the males were simply terminated.Did you know that every time a baby is born, there is a chance they could grow up to be a rapist or murderer? Me personally, I am not so cowardly as to live in fear of some imagined might be scenario.
Clearly that is nonsense. Being for the death penalty simply means you are for people that are found guilty by a jury of their peers to put to death for their act. In almost all cases these means extreme cases and were guilt is clear. This case there is a question on his quilt that can be answered by looking into the DNA Troy Davis wants to be looked at. In no way does any of this mean the position is born from the wish for innocent people to be put to death. You are only making up stuff to make a position against it. Sure mistakes happen and people are put to death that shouldn't be, but that is exception to the rule and something no one supports.
this is truly cruel and unusual punishment
its like those Chuck Norris Missing in action films where some sadistic NVA officer plays Russian Roulette with some POW. they should exhaust all the appeals months in advance rather than strapping the guy down, pulling him up etc
but I do have issues with the death penalty and this is one reason
The deed has been done.............
I am not either, especially when the death penalty becomes a lynching, as it is now. They are now going ahead with the execution. Self defense I am completely OK with. In that regard, I am OK with Troy Davis killing one of the executioners before he dies, if he is able to.
Dan... I haven't seen you in forever. Since PCF. How you doing?
Doing great. Playing for the Edison Freeman Project now.
You still a mod over there?
I don't know much about Georgia or it's politics, but why is this possible?
They are showing his photos on CNN right now, and the world is waiting for the announcement he is dead. It's obvious this is highly controversial, yet the state isn't even batting an eye over taking his life.
Was the guy from Texas that you posted the article of, later proven to be innocent?
