Too many death row inmates get to live too long.
What was lacking humanity was what he did to his victims. Tired of this woke bs, always crying for criminals but never their victims.
Trump Jan 6th
It's not actually woke BS the oldest Christian churches don't condone the death penalty . It's a huge hypocrisy to be pro life but pro the death penalty
It is never about the victim 😮
@@OneQueenB You are showing your ignorance.
@jeffreywingham I’m confused. What does “woke” mean and what is “woke” about this??? The man is a spiritual advisor who doesn’t believe in the death Penalty.
Dude murdered 2 ppl. Eye for an eye
The Bible does not teach an eye for an eye. Just saying…
And of course the State and the Courts are always 100% correct..?
@@brandishiverdecker8228it doesn't teach murder either
It happened in 2002. If there was evidence to overturn his conviction I think they would’ve found it by now
@@Yodels85 conviction is not in question..the State violating the Constitution in both text and intent is a huge issue.
He didn’t kill in self defense…he didn’t kill someone that had wronged him and it wasn’t an accident.
I’m sickened that your show would give him this much air time with even a moniker of sympathetic light.
Modicum not moniker
ALL life is precious...
How cruel and usual was the crime? Crocodile tears for the perpetrator where are the tears for the victim?
Outstanding comment.
Astonishes me that people have compassion for murderers when they had none for their victims!
People who were murdered have compassion for them but none for those the victimized? Did they victimize them before or after they were murdered?
@@YMadubuike24YOU misunderstood. It makes perfect sense.
@@22lyric no I didn’t
Two wrongs don’t make a right, don’t get me wrong I understand the appeal of revenge but (in my opinion) we have a duty to ourselves to be better than that.
@@mrmoonman384 so well said said . I like the delivery too , the whole I get what you are saying but maybe consider this. It nice to see this in here
Remember the deleted victims had to choice neither ...a holy man of the cloth suppose to fight for good not Evil ...
And now remember the real victims, their tragedies are really HEARTBREAKING and LACK HUMANITY:
Janet Moore (41) and Sharath Pulluru (22)
"It’s believed that he killed Ms Moore because he was looking for her son, who Smith thought had given his identity to police. Pulluru was a convenience store clerk, who Smith thought had disrespected his gang."
Justice served
Sorry, we will never know 😔
@@Fat12219 who cares?
Yes it was.
How cruel and unusual was his victim's death? By the way the Consitution explicitly allows for executions as a sentence.
Come on News Nation you're better than this.
Heartbreaking? what of the victims and their loved ones?
Wot about the poor victims ❤❤
1:20 why aren't you heart broken about the victims
The constitution does not define the death penalty for murder as cruel and unusual punishment. That preacher is a false teacher and a false christ, who opposes Christ. The very bible that is the foundation for his religion calls for this.
The Bible that says Thou shall not k*ll ?
Actually, it is the first one of the ten commandments that we should follow. I thought that is why the pro lifers wanted to control women's bodies. I'm a Christian, but I'm just saying the man isn't in the wrong about what the Bible says.
Yep!
Neither Michael Dewayne Smith nor this news caster had one bit of sympathy or attention or humanity for the the victims he murdered! The media only worries about the murderer! Give less time to the convict and more to the memories of his victims!
Thank you.
An Eye for an Eye a Tooth for a Tooth no sympanthy for him
But the two performers put on such a sad face act.. they talked slowly and tried to portray the typical usual as if he was a true stoic warrior. You didn't fall for the dramatic performance?
The prison system is more cruel.
As yourself why he was there.
Well… he definitely lived way longer than his victims ..
Come in this room we have your reparations ready. April fools
I'm sure whatever he did to get there was also heartbreaking and lacked humanity.
Adios
Justified
Is a spiritual advisor supposed to discuss someone private moments on national TV?
Dey finna get paid G tawting about hah anuthuh blet main be kilt by duh syssem
I think he’s in the clear. I don’t think dude will be suing him .
Dude can’t sue him but hopefully, no else uses or trust him.
@@Soundmind245 yeah he’s dead if you didn’t catch my drift and hopefully people don’t trust HIS spirituality and faith? 🤔 what is going on
Duh It’s not about HIS faith but obviously the facility is using this so-called spiritual advice, so hopefully no one else uses him within the facility. Not sure what is going on your end.
what are his charges? seems strange that the charges wouldn't be mentioned here
Because they want you to feel sorry for him.
They were in the text below them. It said double-*urder
@@KiKiBee much appreciated .. seems like he was granted more time than his victims🤷♂️
@@Okaminitro777 it’s sad .. The media would rather spend resources on a story victimizing the killer rather then a story about the victims and the closure their family gets when Justice is served .. smh
Hey bud. U ever hear of Google?😮
OMG this is terrible how could they do this to a KILLER ffs hes a scumbag
Yet US voters want abortion on demand . . . . go figure?
😂
Prisoners these days have it easy
This reminds me of the Death Row Comedian: "It makes sense that I tell jokes. I was always the 'cut up' in the family. As a matter of a fact, I CUT UP my family. Hey, is this thing on? I told the judge I give an electrifying performance. You see the secret of my performance isn't in the delivery it's in the EXECUTION. Hey, is this thing on? Look folks I'm dying up here."
Well I’m sure his crimes were cruel and unusual. May his victims loved ones now find peace and strength to move on.
The dislike bar does not reflect the comment section
Ask the guy what do you think about abortion killing innocent not killing guilty like this crum! America First
And his victim,was that cruel and usual punishment for them?
I guess for people who don't agree with the death penalty until we are in the families shoes we won't really know how we'll feel if our loved one was take away. We all have opinions and that is just that opinions and we are all entitiled to it but with the death of a loved one taken away from us in such a brutal way we just can't speak for those grieving the lost of their loved one in such a horrific brutal way.
I don’t think the purpose of the death sentence is about teaching people not to kill, but about ending the life of a person who would continue to do more harm than good if left to live and those whose crimes are so handouts that even if they never do wrong again they don’t deserve our tax dollars to support their life in prison. What I don’t understand is how some serial killers rot in jail and some people get the death sentence seemly fast. The viewers of this clip have no idea what happened to lead to this guys conviction. If he kidnapped, tortured, and then killed people, then yes, I think it was justified to get the death sentence, but if he got in a fight with someone and it escalated to a death, then I need to know how the law thought he should die.
Please read a book.
he was high on drugs and killed 2 people and stayed in jail for 20 years before his execution ... he killed a mother(41) because he thought her son had spoken to the police about him ... and killed a convenience store clerk (22)because he thought she had badmouthed his gang ... he also stuck to the narrative that " he didnt kill anyone because he was on drugs and doesnt even remember being arrested"
@@MORALISTICHISTORYThat’s what they said happened??? Well is it True??? because I also heard witnesses were cohearsed into saying that what happened
@@gruthless5813 2 people were killed ... were they coerced into that too ?
What were you blocking out in the upper left corner of the screen?
Gimmie a break !!! He wasnt hungry or didnt want shish on himself ?!!
He wasn't the victim here
life for a life and he took 2, god bless America
RIP
Rest in pain geez that's a bit harsh.
He cried? What a weak coward.
Has an innocent person ever been executed? If so, it invalidates capital punishment.
A few weeks ago I read about a black 12 Y.O. kid who was executed in the 1940's or 50's and it haunts me to this day. ......The white father probably killed the girl but this black kid was blamed......He couldn't see and attorney or his parents......It was worse than the Emmitt Till case.......You would have to be a serial killer or bomber where more than 5 people were killed for me to think the death penalty is acceptable. Also they would have to show no remorse.
@@karenmbbaxter Thank you for mentioning him. His name was George Stinney. He was only 14 when he was executed by the state of South Carolina for a crime he didn't commit. And, as you mentioned, he was a child. I too heard about the horrible injustice committed against him a few months ago, and it's a big part of why I'm now anti death-penalty. We must never forget his name.
More information about the crimes committed against this poor boy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stinney
more innocent persons die awaiting their trial than on death row. so by your logic it invalidates locking people up in jail until their trial.
also more innocent people wrongfully convicted die behind bars. so by your logic it invalidates locking people up after sentencing.
@@karenmbbaxterur name is fitting😂😂
He was not going to out smart the system as he thought. It was not going to happen and he was not even close.
Its all about the jail house prophet. I i i what about the victims i pray for them.
Heartbreaking? Inhumane? Do you feel the same sympathy for his victims?
Who provided peace to his victims? Not him for sure!
Jesus Christ
@@YMadubuike24 If Jesus is so amazing why didn't he stop him murdering the victims in the 1rst place?
@@maggielusk6833 wtf are you talking about? I can you read? Did I say Jesus was amazing 🤣? Noi didn’t. I was explaining to you that his perspective about capital punishment is about faith. Did I say that was mine? Try again. Actually don’t. Stop embarrassing yourself .
@@maggielusk6833 but if I had to guess where the man is coming from…Christians believe in the sanctity of life - this means that life is holy and belongs to God, therefore only God has the power to take life. In Romans 12:17-19 it states, "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody …
@@YMadubuike24 The evil was done to the victims!
It's hard 😪 !
That's what she said 😮
Who Cares??
Ah shucks, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy...
Life gives us what we give in life
THAT'S A LIE
@@scottdaniels2500 My life is proof 😂
@@scottdaniels2500 Just because someone will do wrong today doesn't mean repercussions will happen quickly.
@@scottdaniels2500 Even the Pastor admitted shock that he refused to proclaim his innocence when it counted the most....proving Life gives us what we give in Life. 🤣👽😎
@@scottdaniels2500 Psa 62:12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.
Who are the real killers in America?
Government
CIA
@@SMwilliamlamb That was the answer I was looking for. But you can be that when you are that. That's ok.
Everyone that's in prison ain't GUILTY. Everyone that they executed ain't GUILTY.
Your black I can tell
You keep them in your house then. You take responsibility for them, you sort it out since you're so smert
It's true..not everyone in prison are guilty..look up a case where a white DNA technician admits to over 650 cases where she altered the tests
Not everyone..
I guess that the victims just murdered themselves.
Rev. Hood? Not surprised
Who cares? What about HIS VICTIMS? 😂yall r nuts
Bullshit
the State has no right under any circumstances to deprive a citizen of Life. This is a huge crime against humanity.
Did God really say “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Genesis 9:6 After the flood, God himself established capital punishment…
Also says an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
I could never impose death.
Even on a double murderer like that deadbeat was? He killed two innocent people. You are unable to be part of the solution? That makes you a victim in waiting.
I agree - no excuse for death penalty. Sitting in prison for the rest of your life away from society where you can’t hurt anyone else is enough.
I used to believe in the death penalty until I became a Christian. Now I view in from a different perspective.
200 years ago when people committed crimes sending them to prison the way we do now wasn’t an option and so it was handled differently. We have no excuse today - the people involved in sentencing him to death will one day have to answer to God for their choice.
If God can forgive and change Paul - he can forgive and change anyone.
You’re so sensitive.
I'm a Christian and I still believe in the death penalty. You know why? Because God still does. Hell is a death penalty. The law put him to death just like the Law of God put Jesus to death on the cross for your sins. He had 20 years to repent and believe the Gospel. There is a Spiritual Death penalty and its called Hell. Maybe he escaped that?
I like the Reverend. Very much appreciate him being featured here.
No matter what it is he should be here doing his life he is a young man people change with wonders from god ❤
The death penalty needs to be abolished.
"I'm aware that the viewers don't have a lot of sympathy for this person...."
You're very perceptive there, Reverend. You go to the head of the class.
He should have counseling he. Should be here and having his life his life maters
Thank you NewsNation for continuing to report all sides of a story so that viewers can decide what's right and wrong for themselves.
😔 RIP. the death penalty is morally wrong. "we don't have to kill each other to teach each other not to kill each other" - his reverend said.
america has the worst human rights of any first world country, the highest incarceration rate, and engaged in cruel and unusual punishment. america is shameful.
Look at all the "good christians" that directly defy the teachings, lol. 😂
They all innocent on the row aren’t they 😂 ps nah we good byebye Micheal ✌️
Fry Micheal smith oh wait they did 😂😂😂
i ar sads 🙄
