Washington Supreme Court strikes down state’s death penalty, saying it is ‘arbitrary and racially biased’Washington Supreme Court strikes down state’s death penalty, saying it is 'arbitrary and racially biased' So true, and fundamentally unconstitutional, as 'life' is one of the primary mandates of the USConstitution, (BlackLivesMatters) along with 'freedom', which disallows incarceration and slavery, and 'the pursuit of happiness', meaning your possessions cannot be seized either. There are people very dedicated to these issues. They have managed to push legislation. Also, the refusal of drug companies has slowed down the prospect. Antideathpenalty I support death penalty. Should a person deserve to live if he went to murder many innocent men, women, and children? Should he be forgiven and be sheltered in a prison? Should he be remembered? Obviously if you dont erase scums like them from humanity, people will follow him.

Washington state Supreme Court strikes down death penalty, citing racial biasWashington state's Supreme Court outlaws capital punishment, ruling that the death penalty is unconstitutional because it is inconsistently applied The only thing inconsistent is the thinking. If a certain % of people ( blacks ) are killing then that % should be put to death. Stop trying to be politically correct with the death penalty. You do the crime you get put to death. PERIOD. What about the death penalty on babies up to 9 months old.. that’s constitutional?... I’ve said Once and I’ll say it again... Bring the Stockade system back!
