- California Gov. Gavin Newsom is explaining why he decided to end executions in the state. Still, a new poll finds most Californians support the death penalty. Details here: abc7.la/2FbwnHS
It was put to a vote in 2016 and the voters voted to keep the death penalty. A vote is a vote. That should be the law. Our votes must count regardless of whether it went your way or not. What goes comes around.
This is why we have representative democracy. If voters really want the death penalty they should be voting for texas style republican politicians. They shouldn't be surprised when they vote for left liberals who wont lift a finger to carry out the death penalty. California shouldn't put every little thing to voters, they aren't qualified to make decisions on most legislation.
Abortion is fine though
A slap in the face to victims family and voters of California!!!
I can't wait until he is gone, honestly. That move by him was in the realm of abuse of power on our democracy. We vote for a reason. You give him an inch they want to take a mile. He can't use his feelings in this..if we are being real, some people are not going to ever change. It aligns with Christians' continuous efforts to allow violence among innocent people. He should have honored the voters, the victims and etc. This is why I want him gone. He can't run for president because I believe he will abuse his power and not do what the voters told him by voting.
Voters have to take time off work, stand in long lines, enduring weather, traffic, etc, etc, just to voice what best benefits our communities. He obviously is a criminal coddler, and he needs to go.
If he's incapable of fulfilling the job duties of governor he needs to be removed from office by recall
I think so too. He rigged the election also. We have sufficient evidence for recall. We just need someone to submit the notice of intent to recall and start the long process to recall gavin newsom. I know the Californians like myself see all the lies and scandals he is responsible for. Recall Newsom now
And that's why crime rate going up in calif
on average states without the death penalty have lower murder rates than states that do have the death penalty.
So is Newsom gonna invite Scott Peterson to dinner
He should have informed the voters about his weak stomach BEFORE RUNNING FOR GOV.!!😠
Weak stomach ? He just explained how there is innocent people on death row you buffoon.
@@javiercuevas4484 Why does it matter if 1 out of every 100 people on death row are innocent? Those 99 other people are still absolutely deserving of death.
A travesty
Thousands of people, jurors, police, investigators, judges, convicted 3 or 4 hundred criminals, millions of man hours, millions of taxpayers money, all did their jobs. And this one power hungry, dufus, comes along and says, this is not democratic, this is not justice, only I have the final say. I am the King!
Exactly! This is an abuse of power on so many levels. Even if you don't agree with the death penalty, this action still is an abuse because he or someone like him will continue to do it. Then what does your vote really mean? You have people who don't even think their votes matter. I hope he is gone soon
The nephew of Nancy plolski
What about the ones of script who don't get a duo process ...
Don't vote Democrat!!!!
Don’t vote Republican!!!
Recall Newsom
That aged well.
@@chrislondo2683 A lot of idiots in California, that's why I left that state.
the worst thing he ever did
ppl have been dying triple the digits then 3 years ago since he freaking did this
death penalty should put back on
Well, in fairness, it wasn't exactly clipping along as intended. But yes, he is part of the problem.
the rights, the country, all undermine it by one governor it seems very criminal for that governor or any governor, or any official to stand against and go contrary to the very people death sentence is valid. death sentence is a American measure, which is for people their rights
I get the insight on a single murder and mistaken verdicts overturned but killing once with the intent to keep doing it until caught -- that is a perfect example of an ECT candidate. You cannot put them in a prison cell. They are sick. An eye for an eye means harm done done back so you learn. Do you think 10 20 30 years behind bars will bring about clarity and put it back into God's hands? Think about Charles Manson. He killed multiple people in one incident. See. The rule is life first but who is footing that bill? The loved ones?
an eye for an eye leave sthe whole world blind!
"so you learn" ....you can't learn if you're dead.
There are innocent people on death row. I’m not saying everyone there is innocent. The justice system is corrupt.
Perhaps....but more evil on death row.. ill take my chances if they are innocent.. plus it is the will off the people vote for death penalty
Liar, what are your sources ?
@@mickeywhite7878what‘s your proof that this guy was lying?
@@mickeywhite7878Research Wrongfully convicted death row inmates. He is obviously not lying
@@mickeywhite7878you trust the government to get things right 100% of the time??? Plenty of cases of people being executed that were likely innocent. Look up Troy Davis. Go to the death penalty information center's website and look at all of the cases where there is strong evidence that innocent people were likely executed.
a leader should follow his own beliefs.. you have the right to not re-elect him, but everyone should follow their own beliefs... being a Canadian I do oppose capital punishment, and I agree with this governor
I had to read the comments of a Canadian and a fellow European further down for someone who would actually make sense. Thank you, friend! I was worried I'd lose my mind for a moment.
@@UrskogTrolle yes my neighbouring country is interesting.. yes architecture is similar as are the vehicles we drive.. On surface similar... But trust me go to any restaurant or anywhere and the differences are stark..
Adolf Hitler followed his own beliefs. How did that work out.
Us Californians voted to keep the death penalty, its entirely justified. Tell me why Charles Ng, a serial killer who would kidnap women then video himself, rape, torture, and kill them, has more of a right to life than his victims. Tell me how its wrong to kill him, tell me why his victims are not worthy of justice?
@@acegibson9533 As he violated every law known to God and Mankind.
I am glad this happened. The death penalty should be abolished !
Trump 2024 🇺🇲
Here in europe we have abolished the dealth penalty a long time ago. Who gives you the right to murder someone, whatever heinous act they have commited? Only God has that right, if not, you are just as those who murdered
God is a fictional entity created by man for man
@@OhManTFE So not this person's point!
@@sampsongarrett So not this person's point!
Finally! I had to read the comment of a fellow European for someone who actually makes sense. Thank you! I thought I was going to lose my mind for a moment.
EDIT
I just read a comment of a Canadian who also made sense.
@@UrskogTrolle You don't get it. How can only a fictional entity have a right to do something that a real entity cannot?
Recall Newsom
