I think there are acts that PERMANENTLY disqualify a person from participation in human society. [View all]

That said, I'm saddened by the fact that in the last two days there have been hundreds of posts decrying the execution of Dennis McGuire, and how badly the state of Ohio botched it, and the total absence in those threads of the horror he inflicted on Joy Stewart.

I believe there are instances where the death penalty is warranted. So does the Democratic Party, which I am legally bound to due to my signature on a piece of paper I signed called the California Voter Registration Form.

I would quote the 2012 Democratic Party Platform here: "We believe that the death penalty must not be arbitrary. DNA testing should be used in all appropriate circumstances, defendants should have effective assistance of counsel, and the administration of justice should be fair and impartial." (Poor Dennis' semen was found in Joy Stewart's rectum...)

In the absence of language that says the Democratic Party opposes the Death Penalty under all circumstances, I'm inclined to believe my party believes there are circumstances under which the Death Penalty is warranted.

I defy any fellow Democrat to prove to me wrong on that point.

Dennis McGuire sodomized Joy Stewart on the day he met her. He sodomized her because she refused to have "normal" sex with him. I had a post hidden last night for describing his act in more streetwise terms. He sodomized her because he thought "normal" rape would be too difficult due to the fact she was 30 weeks ("too&quot pregnant. She was little more than half his size, so he sodomized her after she refused him "normal" sex. THAT was after she refused him ORAL sex.

So, after poor Dennis sodomizes her, what does he do? He thinks about it a moment, then realizes his mistake... sodomizing a living person who could send him to prison. What's next? Yeah, you guessed it. Kiiiiiillll herrrrrr! Dufus Dennis tries to stab her. His knife hits her in the collarbone. What does he do next? He slashes her throat from ear to ear with a 4 1/2" deep gash that completely severs BOTH her carotid artery AND her jugular vein. Way to go Dennis!

So now she's dead... Dead people tell no tales, right? Dennis is off scot free. That is, until her dead, sodomized body is found. What does poor Dennis do when it's found? He fingers his BROTHER IN LAW. Nice Guy, right? He'd sooner see SOMEONE ELSE die for the crime HE committed than do the stand up thing and admit his wrong.

Joy Stewart was 30 weeks pregnant. Argue all day about whether or not Poor Dennis was guilty of TWO MURDERS because she was carrying a FETUS and not a BABY. Joy was preparing her house for the arrival of a ... wait for it ... um ... fuck off. Dennis murdered TWO PEOPLE based on Joy's belief that what was in HER womb was A BABY. What was in HER WOMB was HER DEFINITION, not YOURS.

I have yet to see ANYWHERE any mention of the fact that her HUSBAND, Kenny Stewart was so grief-stricken over the loss of his Wife and Unborn Baby that he committed suicide before the trial even began. Dennis McGuire was responsible for the deaths of THREE PEOPLE, and destroyed the lives of countless others. All for a nut (orgasm to you and me). Excuse me for not feeling sorry for him.

Are you, my friends, Democrats? If you are... you belong to a party whose platform DOES NOT explicitly oppose the death penalty. I wholeheartedly agree with you!

As for me, I propose the Death Penalty as such: A cell containing numerous ways of taking the convicted murder's own life. -- when you're tired of being there, sorry for what you did, or going out of your mind... of course rigged so that you COULD NOT use any of those weapons on your caretakers.
