  • Nick Yarris, a former death row prisoner, has told Sky News the execution of a man in Alabama with nitrogen gas is "horrifying".
    Mr Yarris, who was acquitted of rape and murder after spending 22 years in jail in Pennsylvania, said the prisoner was used "like a guinea pig" in an "experiment".
    Convicted murderer Kenneth Smith, 58, became the first inmate to be executed using the gas after the US Supreme Court declined a legal bid to halt his sentence.

      I think many who are opposed, are religious, who believe that it is not for us to take life, and they will get their torment and suffering when they do finally die, and are judged by God. Especially to those who believe in hell. Others who aren't religious, and are still against the death penalty, simply believe that wishing death, misery, suffering, etc . On others, even the criminals. Is being no different than the criminals themselves. Lastly, there are people who against it because of the chance the person is innocent .these are just a few reasons I've heard from many different people over the years. I personally am still undecided, but there are certainly times I felt the dp to be just. At the same time, those could certainly be times where my emotions were clouding my judgement. Where I was just so sickened by the crime, I didn't care what happened to the inmate. Believing they should be punished in the worst ways imaginable. IDK. This is a tough one for me.

Nick is NOT speaking about egotism here (an inflated sense of one's own worth), but - by implication - the fact that SELF-HATRED is a toxin that prevents one from acting in a balanced way throughout this difficult life, and so easily leads to hatred of, and a lack of empathy with, others.

      The Marxists also opposed the death penalty as they did not believe in individual responsibility, they derided this as "great man theory" they clung to the idea that people are all just puppets of "society". This killer who stabbed a woman to death cannot really be punished as the way they see it "we live in a society" and it was societal forces that led him to kill, some BS like "he did it for money".
      They believe in puppets and puppetmasters, they don't hate the puppetmaster they just wish they were the ones pulling the strings.
      Now Marxists did end up killing a LOT of people and continue to kill people but it wasn't the "puppets" so to speak, it was those who resisted their new puppetmaster. They HAD to go as they were ruining their game, their little play country that's run the way they want.

      There are so many innocents on Death Row, mostly non-caucasians, who can't afford proper representation to help them prove their innocence, and who will be murdered falsely, by a State who convicted them on hearsay, and doesn't want to admit it's mistake. I worked for a time with Reprieve. The Death Penalty is not just black and white. It is barbaric and inhumane, and 93% of the victims families, who these "convicts" are put to death for, go on to suffer mental health issues, similar to survivors guilt. The Death Penalty is not an answer. It never was.

That being the case I find it odd that these people seem to be concerned more with his suffering than that of his victim and what he put her through which I imagine was pretty horrifying and painful. The difference between her suffering and his is she didn't choose her fate. He did, for money. What about her Human Rights? He took those away without a 2nd thought.

      Don't be dense before u make me tell u sumthin in your face.....we're not talking about executing just anyone, we're talking about self-confessed, caught red-handed, undeniable dna, guilty beyond a shadow of doubt, cold blooded murderers who kill their screaming victims. My little brother died because of such a miscreant over 10 yrs ago and i would've happily taken care of it myself....go ahead and say something else to me

      Exactly. No has has ever been sentenced to a deterrent. Punishment is just that.

      As someone living in South East Asia, where smuggling drug can be sentenced by death, I disagree.
      It is both justice and deterrent.

      Justice and revenge are not the same thing, those who think they are, are misreading the Bible. God is merciful, people aren't.

      For sure - but from this man's perspective, he was found guilty of a crime he didn't commit. This is perhaps a different lens to re-watch this video with.
