You can make a choise. People on death row usually would like to make one too, but can't. |
Nor can their vicitms, etc. |

You loose choice when you are convicted by your peers. The victim/s
had no choice either. |
Thank you, Lady and gentleman, for proving Skybirds point - which I support - that the most appealing motive for the death penalty is pure revenge...
Next, let's discuss this weird imbalance between black and whites on death row...
Is Lady Justice (color)blind when administering capital punishment or are there some dirty, rotten residues of racism left in this capital lottery...?
Statistically, me being a white man, I guess I stand a better chance avoiding capital punishment raping and consequently killing a black woman then a black man doing the same thing to a white woman...
Even innocents (like me) stand a - be it statistically small - change of being executed for being at the wrong time at the wrong place or looking like the wrong person or meeting the wrong jury or being a wrong person but not the perpetrator...
