[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a great issue for Democrats. Even in the most liberal cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, people are done with progressive DAs and judges and equity and restorative justice and letting violent criminals walk free. As always, the pendulum will swing in the other direction. I think most voters - even in blue states - are perfectly fine with the return of some Old Testament justice for the worst and most heinous criminals. If you look at the suffering inflicted by Death Row inmates, it's impossible to feel sympathy for them. They are genuinely horrible people.

My quibble would be about the fairness of the process. But we've been talking about that ever since OJ. Rich people don't get the death penalty. In any event, if I were a Democratic strategist I wouldn't touch this issue at all. A reflexive anti-death penalty stance is a terrible look for Democrats today. Not unreasonably, [b]most people feel Democrats are much more sympathetic with violent criminals than they are with their victims. [/b]It's one more reason the Democratic "brand" is garbage these days. As for a firing squad, it's definitely more humane than the incompetently administered cocktail of drugs that are typically used. [/quote]

I can recall right wingers vigorously defending Brock Turner, George Zimmerman, and Derek Chauvin, not to mention Trump pardoning J6ers and inviting Andrew Tate to Mar-a-Lago. Spare us the tired tropes about who’s soft on crime.[/quote]

I am a leftie who defended them.  They were trying to control a fentanyl laced criminal.[/quote]

No one wants to look at the actual facts of the case.

No one dares.[/quote]

We all watched the video of George Floyd's death. Stop trying to tell us it was justified - it was not.[/quote]
