And I get it: fuck the libs, soft on crime, what if it were your family (actually, my sister-in-law was murdered in 2016) etc, etc. But human life shouldn't be one of the chips in the whole culture war game. That sucks! — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of the dark and eerie drawbacks of the death penalty: It turns executions into these cathartic culture war spectacles. The humanity of the person is totally obscured by symbolism — it's no longer killing a person, it's just owning the libs. Just a game. — PolitiTweet.org

They only reason they know or care that he exists is because the state of Oklahoma spent a long time planning to kill Jones, then thought better of it. Now there is *disappointment* that someone these people found out about maybe two weeks ago max isn't dead. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
The death penalty is like this black hole that exerts a weird gravity and warps everything around it -- this is a good case in point. If Julius Jones had been sentenced to LWOP in 2002, none of these guys would know or care that he is breathing on Nov 18th 2021. Now they hate it. — PolitiTweet.org

@cldwtr_dd the goal was to produce him so that he could be arrested and presented to the roman authorities who did have the capacity to mete out death — PolitiTweet.org

@ErieAeronautics @GovStitt In the sense that we provide old people with thirty pieces of silver when they retire I guess. On the other hand, instead of social security we could just kill one person of each elderly person's choosing and then let them starve — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
you realize they paid judas thirty pieces of silver so they could carry out the death penalty, right? this is not a "the death penalty rocks" metaphor — PolitiTweet.org
ERIE @ErieAeronautics
@ebruenig @GovStitt Oh yeah, and money. 30 pieces of silver ought to do it.

i went on a long reporting trip (washington dc to mississippi) and matt came along for the ride, eavesdropping on random protesters while i was working, capturing some local color, and bantering with me in airports, trains and outdoor dining venues in between. an odyssey — PolitiTweet.org

@Skyler_Jones155 I don't think he should be executed for sure. 100% against capital punishment for Rittenhouse, no questions asked — PolitiTweet.org

No one's ever killed anyone after age 40 lol https://t.co/EsaHkda3Kf

@ErieAeronautics I think I've been on this beat a lot longer than you and just realize that commuting death to LWOP is much more common than a governor unilaterally pardoning someone — PolitiTweet.org

@TradCathKing You are referring to the letter Jones wrote in 2014 explaining that his description didn't match the one the eye witness gave in court? — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
He got life without parole. Again, I don't think you need to worry about a guy who was convicted at 19 of murdering a man in the course of a car jacking in 1999 and has now been sentenced to LWOP being suddenly freed from prison and going on a murderous rampage in his 40s — PolitiTweet.org

@TradCathKing Tell me about the threats and harassment against the Howells, have those been letters, phone calls, statements, what are we talking about here — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
I'm not sure there actually are that many obligate murderers out there — people who are just psychosexually motivated to kill sans any other compelling factor (i.e., involvement in other crimes, gang activity, interpersonal conflict, etc.) In the US we assume it's like 1/100 guys — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
It's crazy that every other country in the developed world paroles violent criminals all the time, but in America we assume everyone who commits a violent crime at age 19 is a bonafide serial killer whose one mission in life is to kill at all costs like Ted Bundy or something. — PolitiTweet.org

@ErieAeronautics @GovStitt The criminal justice system doesn't exist to make restitution to victims of crimes. In fact, it's a very sorry substitute for what should be a robust system of support for victims of violent crime. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@NormieDeGuerre @xtreme_cent Ok, let's agree to abolish capital punishment and then you can certainly beat insane people who want to free rightly convicted murderers in courts and legislatures. — PolitiTweet.org
