.@alexhallhall. Can you explain why you oppose it in all circs? Is there a principle? What is it? — PolitiTweet.org

I oppose the death penalty in all circumstances, even when the criminal in question is an evil monster. https://t.co/jMoPAHbqkr

‘And we indeed justly’ The repentant thief accepts his crucifixion as just in the presence of Christ, who does not contradict him. Luke 23 https://t.co/z47h7seSsY — PolitiTweet.org

.@codyknotts. How do you know that it takes the timing from God? Christ himself, at his own execution and that of two others, makes no condemnation of execution as such. The repentant thief says his punishment is just. Christ does not contradict him. SEe Luke 23, 39-43 — PolitiTweet.org

@IsabelO20183051 On the basis of what principle do you oppose capital punishment in all cases? — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah Yes. You either oppose capital punishment or not. I oppose it in all cases.

.@mjbrooks_89. So Eichmann should have been treated no more severely than a normal gangland criminal murderer in a Florida penitentiary? Do you not think the law needs to differentiate a bit? — PolitiTweet.org
MJ Brooks @mjbrooks_89
@ClarkeMicah Yes. He should have spent the rest of his life in prison.

.@pbidault. Of course it is. What I am saying is that long-term imprisonment is not necessarily a remorse-free choice, any more than execution is. The key thing is to avoid convicting the wrong person (actually quite easy if judges and juries do their jobs properly) . — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever is that supposed to mean, .@prayforhex? Eichmann certainly did an evil thing on a huge scale and his victims were dead by thetime he came to trial, so he could make no restitution to them, even if he had wanted to. — PolitiTweet.org

.@vaguebiscuit. Why is a refusal to contemplate the execution of proven heinous murderers such a badge of virtue on the left (which has in the past so often bene ready to countenance or at least defend the killing and imprisonment of thousands of innecents by Leftst regimes). — PolitiTweet.org

.@_jakelingz_v9. You'd see the point more clearly if you were falsely accused of anything, and your jury consisted of 18-year-olds with no experience or knowledge of anything (as it easily could now) . Property or education qualifications at least lessen that danger. — PolitiTweet.org

@JustinB11698455 You need to understand that the death penalty in the USA is for the most part fictional, very rarely applied in a few states to an extremely small minority of convicted murderers, maintained for purposes of political grandstanding, not criminal justice. — PolitiTweet.org
