  • interesting the studies come out from hop pole

  • and you glove that 65 percent of Americans including

  • eighty-two percent of Republicans 66 percent

  • independent and BP 3 percent democrat

  • see the support the death penalty for people convicted of murder

  • those he made extremely high numbers to me a course this comes on the heel

  • last week the botched execution Clayton Lockett who is a Oklahoma in May

  • who suffered a collapse main after the injection that they gave him

  • didn't work and he was riding in pain before dying of a heart attack

  • more than 40 minutes after the procedure began to these numbers in general

  • seem really high do you because I twirling and capital punishment humbled

  • I'm actually surprised the majority of Americans are still in favor of capital

  • punishment and I think it kinda goes back to

  • the idea punitive consequences for

  • at per crime like murder and crime like murder serious work late unlock it did

  • was terrible he killed a 19-year-old woman

  • I he buried her alive I he was in the process and robbing her home

  • I mean he was convicted he was found guilty in a terrible crime

  • of course he should be punished severely but with that said

  • when you look at the numbers when you look at what our justice system was

  • originally supposed to be about what it was primarily supposed to be about

  • the death penalty doesn't make sense yes our justice system is supposed to be

  • punitive

  • but it was primarily supposed to be about rehabilitation

  • was primarily supposed to be about up you know

  • making sure that nonviolent criminals been spent time behind bars but they

  • would get rehabilitated people who were

  • violent criminals as long as it didn't involve murder would get rehabilitated

  • and if you were convicted of murder spend time spent her entire life behind

  • bars I would much rather do that

  • because a you're not 100 percent sure that the person has been convicted is

  • guilty

  • we have the innocence project that is exonerated multiple people

  • up it through DNA evidence and DNA testing that we did that story let's

  • meet one in 25 people

  • on your bro are bound to be in a state that's incredibly high

  • it's so incredibly high so when you look at but evidence and you look at all the

  • different factors that go into convicting innocent people

  • because the bias it by season all those other issues

  • the death penalty doesn't make sense and I find It really sad that the majority

  • of Americans are still in favor

  • of capital punishment yeah for the Anna is the same reason why

  • when you add to watch Game of Thrones the worst ecstatic to see joffe

  • die yeah it's a bummer that she's very bad but also because people think I'll

  • death penalty for the worst possible situation what if someone did this to my

  • mother to my sister to my brother whoever may be

  • yeah that person she added that quality city has a question should the worse for

  • the worse

  • among us good at that party most part say yes the proper question to ask is

  • are you

  • are you people the death penalty it means that a certain percentage

  • innocent people are gonna die meaning and then yup I get a lesser known

  • outbreaks I know rather than wait they never asked the question yeah it was a

  • question wrong

  • yeah about how we would you be able to death penalty if he knew that one in 25

  • the people convicted her innocent

  • would %um I would say no I would be babe a bit yep

  • there so poor at a hundred are adeptly innocent and every time they do on these

  • projects the willie

  • that a law school goes in and they try to exonerate they do

  • they have exonerated normal all ok it's only that's why the guy in Illinois

  • got shut down into criminals up in jail right now and he stopped at but maybe

  • that's why stop the death penalty

  • because he knew he was gonna go to jail we have at my

  • you know him the people who are for the death penalty I have to ask

  • why do you think it is that we don't do it up in the in the square in the public

  • square

  • why don't we have Stone Inc swelling is killin wood stoves when we do that

  • the reason is because we feel like it the bases are a whole whole picture

  • because it lowers our humanity you know when when that when you murder someone

  • it day it doesn't it is in a deterrent with Norman if they had the

  • repercussions

  • up the death penalty is a more violent society so what we're doing is saying

  • yes let's have burbank

  • what appealed to the darkest under Palolo Valley

  • a humanity instead of trying to set an example a bar to handle your problems in

  • a civil society

  • you know we're back in the dark ages were murdering people

  • to show that murder is wrong so again as justin and it's backwards thinking and

  • nobody

  • it said again nobody thinks it through nobody talked about correctly

  • the guys who don't talk about it correctly like Bill Donohue these not on

  • television anymore

  • little doubt he said let's do it into wanna we have televised executions if

  • we're proud

  • a bar justice system what we do in a secret yeah

  • well if you don't think it's the darkest the the dark underbelly up society

  • I mean is that is fascinating seventy-four percent of death penalty

  • proponents and 49 percent of Americans overall

  • say they favor the death penalty even if the person being executed

  • might suffer extreme pain and struggle for Brett for more than 20 minutes

  • before dying so that goes to the to the revenge backwater right because to the

  • stuff that

  • that where Dhabi me though

  • you don't your constitution with thank you I love the rug because I do not

  • trust but to say

  • when we have a discussion about our gun rights when we talk about the second

  • amendment don't fuck with back

  • right yeah with that that the priority when it comes to cruel and unusual

  • punishment well who cares

  • when it comes to the issue of torture who cares for her to come to the issue

  • of someone winner in pain

  • as they're being executed and by the way they might be in it then press OK

  • who cares that's not a priority that's not a part of our constitution that they

  • have no criminal

  • not now to the UK and forget they just don't think about a fortnight say that

  • to change who I am

  • just like John McCain said the reason why I am against torture it isn't

  • because I've then it's in

  • it not inspired that would be called that because we're better

  • then that we show how this is how we know you probably you don't go and

  • become a terrorist you don't you think

  • in dark corners where we think the rule of doesn't apply and that's exactly what

  • we're doing day don't care

  • I because they don't think it's a violation of cruel and unusual

  • punishment but I think it's

  • not cruel the thing is not unusual the thing is totally fine at this

  • bastard of a murderer suffer a bit longer before he died he think that's a

  • good thing not a bad things he can't point this thing

  • things out and say see that this to say about it is that a No

  • see how good it yes exactly and so is a toy different argument

  • meat we eat we have the same tendencies to so I mean we watch out

  • yeah but when we watch Game of Thrones again wouldn't want to copy died

  • many and many people in this room said you know what he died too easily that he

  • just after that but never more true

  • we all have a tennis with that as we had be very careful how we

  • talk with these issues because to get to the right place

  • need to find the right motivation the right incentives telling these people

  • you are you are hurting then dividing our Constitution does a poor those words

  • mean nothing to that Mackay

  • yet to talk to innocent people they're working to death by accident how much

  • how much money 'cause

  • and even then maybe make some progress but not as much as I

  • like to have but you know the joffrey example a

  • if they were showing live execution as you say I think it would turn a lot of

  • people

  • against this because the yes saw someone for 20 minutes

  • the botch execution and watching the the main you know and then just

  • riding or the electric chair when I was going and then the people have have

  • pride

  • all that horrible stuff if they saw that we actually saw that

  • I yeah you don't you think people just 30 return some people have your so

  • fucking turned on by that date

  • you know days to have lynchings will bring children to watch yes

  • the reason why we setting public executions because we don't want to

  • become a fucking he that what people cheering clapping they loved it

  • ABC what time will it happen in this country and other countries during the

  • French Revolution

  • when we're executing people by the dozens whatever when I say we I mean the

  • French

  • I they cheered because they in their minds it's just

  • even right right now and that would be you know with that crazy terrorist

  • I in parts the world when they when X ke people at the thing you know the I was

  • on their side

  • the cheer when we exclude these people here they cheer be the thing we're doing

  • the right thing

  • ship so you brought up a point earlier steve we said that

  • will people go 100 something happen you're cute if somebody raped your

  • daughter killed your life %um want the guy dead wouldn't hear what I say that

  • is

  • of course I'd won the guy dead I want the guy definitely get my

  • or wrong in the drive thru body what does that prove that proves that victim

  • shouldn't be the one

  • doling out the punishment enough we need to have a sober impartial person

  • Gill at giving up on us we do without legislators and judges

  • we'll let the big dumb but so because we up in traffic I want to shoot him in the

  • head

  • that doesn't mean it's alright yeah at

  • this thing about the numbers again he was eighty-two percent republicans

  • 66 percent independent 53 percent a democrat

  • I guess I'd like to think a little better democrats but it's because we

  • don't have the right kinda conversations you know people just go well if he did

  • something horrible he should be treated Orleans never explained to them

  • that you know what this actually does is get you more what you don't want

  • yeah this kitchen wall yes to get you the schedule

  • the question should be how to reduce violence in america

  • that the quality videos by a double that penalty increase in violent

  • so let's get real at yeah that's what I would do that so you're right we have to

  • ask better questions to get better answers

  • and the questions they ask not what do we publish this guy who married a woman

  • alive

  • brought back in let's stedman thousand times you know that's what I would say

  • so they look bad questions
