    Default Juvinle Capital Punishment puts U.S. in Good Company

    Today I bring you the wikipedia fact of the day:

    "The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which forbids capital punishment for juveniles, has been signed by all countries and ratified, except for Somalia and the United States.[14]"

    [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_penalty[/ame]

    Thought I would share.
    I believe in Hope. Do you?

    Apparently you missed the supreme court ruling abolishing capital punishment for those under 18.

    And it should be followed by one abolishing the atrocity entirely.

    I think we can still execute people that have committed crimes as a juvenile, if I'm not mistaken. Doesn't that law just mean we can't execute kids WHILE they are 18 and under?

    The theory would be that they weren't mature enough to take such a huge burden of responsibility for their crime, not that it's too much to do to an 18 year old. What you're saying, quite frankly, just wouldn't make any sense, and practically no one is going to have the death penalty move fast enough to execute them before they're eighteen anyway.

    Somalia and the US - LOL. Somalia has no government, so of course it couldn't ratify it. Although we have no juvenille death penalty b/c the supreme court, most of the people in our government believe in it, or are scared into not signing it because of the mindless mobs of sensationalism driven morons who would froth at the mouth if we took a step away from the DP.

    You've already made it clear...

    Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005) was a decision in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that it is unconstitutional to impose capital punishment for crimes committed while under the age of 18.

    So why sign on to something well already have a law for....
    Scared into not signing? WTF are you talkin about....
    Signing or not signing makes NO difference in the US at all....moron
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    Dumbass.

    If someone in another nation does something right, conservatives in the US refuse to do it just to hate foreigners.

    Democracy and freedom of speech is becoming rather popular. So, in my conservative-think, I assume that we should turn to a ruling ogliarchy of Baptist ministers who will make sure we live a Christian life and don't speak any Satanic stuff.

    Sounds very familiar to me. BTW - it was we who put freedom and democracy into play, and the world that followed. If they are moving forward in a way that is different from us, they are probably doing some things that are drastically dire.
