Supreme Court Refuses to Spare DC Sniper

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Since I don't advocate the death penalty, for the most part I would agree for equal treatment. Now if we still institutionalized those that were mentally dangerous to society the problem cases like this may not arise as much as they do today. But that's another story for another day.

De institutionalization was a mistake. I would be OK with moving the low risk offenders to community centered mental health facilities. But they shouldn't have let nearly ALL people out of institutions. And the community centered mental health facilities that were promised as an alternative to institutionalization never arose - they just kicked them out of the institutions and said to hell with it.

I still don't think a person with a serious mental health disease (like schizophrenia) should be treated the same as a person who's merely is merely predisposed to violence. They're two different types of offenders and need to be put into different systems. I think I confused things a bit back - I was going into hyperbole mode. Most people like this don't have a literal psychiatric illness, although they're obviously flawed in other respects.

They're probably all virgins there. And they all look like Michael Moore and don't like sex.

I bet Mother Theresa was hot when she was twenty.....

Well at least we can agree on that.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

life in prison isn't a deterrent either. Don't want to get rid of that either.

The sniper didn't have any final words either

FFFUUU SNIPER

I completely miss typed. ...

And you call me a 'tard. LOL

Because SM is so dense, here is the numbers for new york from 2008 back to 1996.

08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 99 98 97 96
4.3 4.2 4.8 4.5 4.6 4.9 4.7 5 5 5 5.1 6 7.4

Notice SiMtard, the Murder rate in NY in 96 was 7.4 and went down continuously with some small up ticks. Your claim was that the Murder rate went way up after the courts overturned the DP. Not true you liar.

DATA SOURCE: FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2008 (Published Sept, 2009)

No link, and I canb't verify the figures. That's probably only the City, not the State. Looks like you lose again.

Here is a link: http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-rates-1996-2008

And the rates he quoted were for the state. Looks like you declared his defeat a little too soon.

Looks like a nice decline after 2005, when Pataki signed the Death Penalty bill into law.

Like like an even nicer decline beforehand.

His data doesn't go back that far, as pointed out previously. *shrug*

 

[Billy the Great Khan]

It goes back to '96.

 

[DamnYankee]

My mistake. I meant that it looks like a nice decline after 1995, when Pataki signed the bill into law.
