The Following Is A Letter To The Editor From Rhino Times Reader Alan Marshall
Forty people were tried and convicted by a jury of their peers for the heinous crime of murder. Too many involved the kidnapping, torture and slaughter of CHILDREN!!! Doddering Uncle Joe has commuted the sentence of death on 37 of these animals and inflicted their upkeep on the American people, some of whom are the families and friends of the victims for the rest of their worthless lives. But hey, he’s just doing what he’s told to do.
From my understanding, the 3 not commuted are guilty of terrorist acts. My question is what do you think these victims, especially the CHILDREN, went through while in the hands of these animals? I can’t speak for others, but I’m pretty sure they were terrorized, so please tell me the difference.
I understand there are people who are morally against the death penalty and I respect them and their beliefs. Some of those are ‘professional politicians’ and are against it because it gets them elected. I believe there are crimes that require the death penalty because of their very nature, like murder, rape, and treason. I’ve heard some say drug dealers should be included.
My personal belief is this act shows the mental incapacity of Biden and was the result of manipulation by those high up in the (National Socialist) Democrat Party maybe for personal/political purposes or maybe even just a ‘screw you’ to President-Elect Trump. Of course, I and a number of others were not surprised that he pardoned his son, although the extent of the pardon is, as I understand it, unprecedented.
The (NS)DP is absolutely losing their minds over the level of their loss. In fact, one is even trying to keep President –Elect Trump from taking office. There is a Dec. 26 op-ed from The Hill titled “Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now.” You can find more in an article entitled “Obama ally pushes Raskin plan for Congress to nullify election, install Harris: ‘Insurrectiony’”. Remember, an animal is most dangerous when cornered, and I see the (NS)DP and their lackeys as being cornered. We must be careful.
As conservative, freedom loving Americans, we need to try to bring control of OUR government back to the CITIZENS, representing the CITIZENS, and working for the CITIZENS, not the ILLEGAL immigrants flooding our country, bleeding us dry.
Carpe Diem
Alan Marshall
At least the dems aren’t planning to storm the capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power. There is always someone who rants about stopping the winning candidate but at least this time, it isn’t the losing candidate or parry leadership trying to motivate people to use lies, violence and fake electors to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Cracks me up how conservatives are happy to defend the 2020 attempt by MAGA and Trump to steal the election but lose their minds over some random dem nutters claiming Trump can still be stopped. Hint, he won’t be stopped. Trump will take office with no riots, not plans to steal the office with fake electors etc…
But you be you.
Can anyone tell me what this comment has anything to do with the death penalty, except for the individual that shot to death a non-violent protestor (I believe through a barricaded door, but I could be wrong}?
It has nothing to do with the subject of your letter, Alan.
“Chris” just likes to pontificate, posture, and pose. He uses the typical M.O. of Leftists in deflecting and digressing – because they can’t actually debate the issue itself.
That’s pathetic enough, but he’s always the first to jump in with a comment on a Letter, like a small child who desperately wants to be first in line.
He should get a life.
Was in response to this line from your letter….
“In fact, one is even trying to keep President –Elect Trump from taking office. There is a Dec. 26 op-ed from The Hill titled “Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now.”
Do you not even read what you write? LOL
Studies consistently show that the death penalty is significantly more expensive than life imprisonment.
In my opinion, being locked in a box is marginally better than death. But at least it’s cheaper. Funny what conservatives are happy to overspend money on.
But you be you.
I shouldn’t answer, but this one is so incredibly ridiculous I can’t help hit.
Please, PLEASE show your ‘consistent studies’ that prove keeping someone alive, in a prison cell, with all the expenses required is “significantly” cheaper then putting them to death, unless you’re using New Math. I’m begging you…PLEASE show your numbers.
You really should learn to do your own research. Try google. It’s a cool tool.

It’s only more expensive because a death sentence typically takes decades to carry out. So you are basically getting a life sentence that ends with an execution.
Yup
Alan in today’s dollars it’s pushing 90k a year for the cost to keep someone on death row. A 30.06 shell is less than a dollar. If only the liberals could have learned math in school. Joe Biden is nothing but a stupid SOB puppet for Obama. Put him in a pit with a dozen hungry vicious pit bulls and give him a pair of sharp nail clippers to defend himself
Spoken like a true hateful ignorant conservative. “Just shoot em! It’s cheap!” ignores all the fundamental constitutional rights of American citizens to fair judicial process. How many wrongfully convicted death row inmates do you need to read about before you see the ignorance of your ‘idea’?
As a bonus, your statement just ignorant of fact backed by evidence, but we all know how much conservatives love a good conspiracy theory over actual facts.
But you be you.
Rebel’s M.O. is tongue-in-cheek. It’s a concept that’s beyond your ken.
Go back to watching CNN.
It’s about your level.
You mean “hateful ignorant tongue and cheek”.
Chris how can you in good conscience say anyone who shoots a 12 year old boy 4 times and then cuts his throat get to live. You can pull up the details of that trial. I’d like for you to face that young man’s family and tell them what your opinion is, you stupid liberal but wipe
If you call eating, sleeping, pooping in a small box living, good on you. I live to be outdoors so would consider it a punishment worse than death. But…
…it really is economics. Some studies show it costs 10x to process someone from arrest to execution versus Life without parole. Yet over 200 people have been exonerated after being on death row.
If someone shot my 12 year old, I would be fine with life without parole. I would mail him a picture of me living free and outdoors every day so remind him of where he is…
Chris as Rebel said, I’d send anyone who kills my son to HELL with whatever means I have a baseball bat, a crowbar or a 30.06 that person will be in HELL with the devil. I hope you personally never have to experience this
I respect your opinion. Mine is different.
I hope neither of us ever face this issue in real life.
Best wishes
And of course. . .you be you as well.
When you use adjectives such as hateful and ignorant, you need to realize that it’s really an unmasking your true feelings of those who think and believe differently. Let it go Chris. . . you’ll feel better.
Chris I’ll bet you think O J was innocent too don’t you.
Alan in today’s dollars it’s pushing 90k a year for the cost to keep someone on death row. A 30.06 shell is less than a dollar. If only the liberals could have learned math in school.

For a moment, let’s put aside the cost of the death penalty vs. life in prison without parole. Chris said he would accept life without parole if someone murders his 12 year old son. WOW! This demonstrates that Chris thinks less for the life of his son than he does of the person who murders his son. I hope that Chris NEVER has to face this choice. All life is precious. However some people are just plain evil and sentencing them to life without parole instead of the death penalty is an insult to the family, their friends and the community as a whole. Life without parole indicates that the value of a murdered is more important the life of the person they murdered.
Hey Chris, do you feel the same about the Nazi’s who murdered 6 million Jews? How many people can someone murder before you would change your mind and approve the death penalty? If you are against the death penalty, I guess you are also okay with mass killings and the genocides that took place in Africa, Cambodia and elsewhere. You already told everyone that you are okay if someone murders your son and then spend life in prison instead of receiving the death penalty. Your comments demonstrate you have not carefully thought your position, have no compassion for the family of victims and have no soul. But as you say, You be you.
Well and thoughtfully said Ken.
I do not agree with your premise of “life without parole instead of the death penalty is an insult to the family, their friends” as I see Death is an easy out. Real punishment should be long slow and painful. Hence my support for life in prison without chance of parole.
I see no comparison to war crimes and crimes against humanity versus the murder of an individual. Not sure your point here.
But you be you.
Personally, I think a life sentence (without parole) is worse than execution. A lifetime in a cell, with other of the like.
Also, there are people in prison who are innocent.
As a libertarian, I don’t believe the state has the right to take the life of a citizen. Emotionally I can’t help feeling that murderers should be put to death, but intellectually I cant make myself believe that “public servants” have the right to kill any of their masters. We the People are sovereign – not those who serve us.
And, as Miller said, some of them are actually innocent. The execution of an innocent man is a crime as heinous as any he supposedly committed.
So I’d incarcerate them until they die, but I’d give them an option, once a year, to volunteer for execution. A humane, painless, and quick death might be preferable to just existing like a caged animal. And it would be their decision.
Austin and Miller, I respect your stance on the death penalty although I disagree with it. And I agree with you and Miller that the execution of an innocent individual is horrendous. A case like that requires an investigation and the people found guilty of allowing it to happen should spend their life behind bars. But I stand by my beliefs that anyone who intentionally plans and executes another human being, especially a child or a person incapable of defending themselves, MUST pay for their action.
As for the suggestion that they spend every hour of every day for the rest of their lives in a cell, I would concede to that only if that cell is windowless with no contact in any form with another human being, fed the same basic nutrients every day and sleeping in a pinewood box. Cruel? No crueler then their victim(s) and the loved ones of that/those they killed without mercy.
Interesting. Three people can disagree on a subject, without acrimony.
Yes, and the discussion benefited from it. Whenever Chris gets involved he starts throwing mud, so the debate devolves into a slanging match. He can’t disagree without being disagreeable.
He thinks he’s a genius, but he just drags down these comment columns to an infantile insult-fest.
Says they guy that throws mud in most every response he makes to my comments. Typical conservative hypocrisy. Paint me shocked. LOL
Austin, when you reply keep in mind the old adage about wrestling with pig…you both get dirty but the difference is the pig loves it.
