It's heavy to live with tbh, like people deny that genocide was US POLICY, not that it was an accident via smallpox blankets, like, my grandfather was literally tortured by state sanctioned boarding schools and people will STILL deny anything ever happened to my face; or they'll say it wasn't so bad or was in the past and I'm just like, wtf we're right here still and we're still dealing with both trauma and still fighting to not lose our lands and rights.

He was quite the fan of Andrew Jackson and his federal 'removal' policies as well. Jackson didn't get that nickname 'Sharp Knife' for being nice. Guess who's portrait is now hanging on the wall in the oval office? It seems that Trump is a big fan too.

Some of these cretins think that anyone to the left of Alex Jones is a libtard...

While I believe the death penalty is not really much of a deterrent to those who are willing to commit these heinous acts without remorse, I also believe that a civilized nation should not be forced to bear the burden of housing murderous freaks for the rest of their lives at the taxpayers expense.

Many of these people who object to the death penalty for religious/moral reasons are also the same people who see no problem in bombing or invading foreign nations using those very same religious/moral reasons.

Any manner of atrocity can be (and has been) committed if one deludes themselves into believing it is somehow 'gods will' to do so. Crazy is as crazy does.

You are of course free to think as you do, but to put a conflicting view out there on the death penalty and "housing murderous freaks":
I've always seen, and wished, the prison system to be less about "housing freaks" and more trying to rehabilitate people. People don't kill others for shits and giggles, there's always something wrong thats happened and caused something in them to be damaged, usually emotionally. If prison concentrated more on counseling and more on rehabilitation and looking after those in it RATHER than housing and punishment, I believe that would be a better system.
Of course it would have to be coupled with housing and work opportunities outside of prison. When you get locked up for being a drug dealer, even if you completely change your tune in prison, when you leave its hard to get a job, you can't afford any housing and the only people you know are druggos. That makes it really hard to do anything but go back to dealing drugs.

I'm not trying to argue with you. The idea of people perhaps being too expensive to try and help or house is not a "wrong" idea. I find it an interesting view to take into account, and i hope perhaps mine will be too.

By and large, rehabilitation would be the ideal solution to an otherwise seemingly intractable problem within the criminal justice system, particularly here in the US where we have one of the highest incarceration rates on the planet. All too many people are imprisoned for non violent offenses when counseling, reform, and providing necessary education, job opportunities, and social skills would be a more positive, effective, and humane method of bringing someone back into becoming a productive member of society, rather than simply doling out punitive punishment and incarceration. Breaking the cycle of criminal behaviour through education and rehabilitation is one thing, but what does society do with the small percentage of truly irredeemable predatory individuals who would not hesitate to do it all over again given the chance? I certainly do not take the prospect of capital punishment lightly, but what do we do?

The death penalty is certainly a friendlier prospect than life imprisonment, especially considering how prisons are now. It is a very difficult conundrum, whether you put people in danger trying to "fix" some truly broken people, whether you dispose of them or whether you keep them caged up for the rest of their lives.

Its probably a question with no good answer.
