Random Tweener and capitol punishment.
Okay so I was watching his vid right, Mad World by... The chick I was just talking to a moment ago. Hang on. Bahg. My internet is slow right now so just go look here at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
pb_vids and find it. Anyway, I'm watching the vid and it's awesome and groovy and sad and it has Tweener in it. And I noticed two things.
1) He's really pretty when he cries. Really. And I want to hug him. A lot. Nn. Babbeh.
2) Tweener came into prison sagging his pants half off his ass. Sagging? Started in prisons. It was a way to tell your cellie you were "ready" for him. Poor Tweener, he so drain bamaged. *Smooches her dorky white dork*
Oh right, almost forgot too. Today? I saw a bunch of people die. I don't mean like watching Law & Order, I mean I watched actually people die on film. I watched two people be executed by firing squad, one person get his head chopped off by a guillotine (It was from a distance but you could see the body roll off the... table thing), three people get hung, stills of people in an electric chair, and bits of someone being out to death by lethal injection.
This was for and in class by the way. When we get to chapter fifteen we're gonna watch someone be killed by lethal injection. And we heard a lot about the gas chamber and how it's pretty much watching someone choke to death for fifteen minutes.
I am so very against the death penalty right now. And the electric chair? Is fucking scary and there are people who have had to be electrocuted more than once because the first time didn't kill them. People's head's have caught fire and others have bled out of the mouth, eyes, ears, nose and such.
Also? It's not uncommon for someone who has been electrocuted to lose fingers or toes because of it. The electricity builds up and has nowhere else to go and either fries the nerves or completely destroys the fingers/toes.
I just felt the need to share these with you. And the fact that now I'm having horror images of Linc in the chair and him not dieing and just... *Shudder*

Don't you just love LJ to pieces sometimes?
Did you know that there is actually no proof that the death penalty deters at all? There is no proof at all that the death penalty stops anyone except the person being executed.
And did you know that statistics say one out of every... I think it's twenty-five people on death row actually are innocent.
Killing someone who killed stops them alone but so does sticking them in a tiny room alone for the rest of their natural lives.
'The Truth Machine,' by James Halperin.
I haven't heard of that one before, what's the "system" it uses?

Sticking them in a tiny room costs already-burdened taxpayers a great deal more than two or three 9mm bullets. The only reason the death penalty is expensive is because of decades of litigation and appeals, not because of the penalty itself.
It's perfectly alright that the death penalty doesn't deter people from committing crime. It stops the guy who did it, and that's enough.
