Since both of those executions preceded the 'simple murder' of six
million humans, slaughtered by the state, it's rather hypocritical to
even speak of them. But then what 'condolences' (sic) would desi
offer to the six million he has called 'smelly auslanders' (HIS words)?
Rather than using a justice system that provided a trial, regardless
of how flawed some may see that trial, it can hardly compare to
Europe's favorite method called 'genocide,' still practiced in some
parts of that backward continent, even today. Desmond has time
and again, proved he is the 'Uncle Tom' of the holocaust, hardly
giving it a glancing thought, while allying himself with those who
would deny it.

Of course, desi has also said that "the dead are dead, and cannot be
honored," thus he apparently intends to demonstrate here his hypocrisy
once again.

Why should we remember? This case is ancient history with so much
speculation and conspiracy theories that no one really knows the truth
any more.

It belongs to a different time and place. A totally different era.

Of course, if you are still pissed off......... Don't mistake me for
someone who gives a damn.

The Sacco and Vanzetti case generated a lot of emotions since claims
of innocence were made. In fact, three separate forensic exams on the
weapon seized at the time of their arrest showed it was the murder
weapon. So the innocence issue is gone. Many still do not know the
facts.

On the other hand, one has to realized that humanists are also against the
execution of the guilty. Why "should they give two shits"? They don`t
think of it that crudely, but they do want to avoid being tainted by
killing people. A key feature of abolitionists is this avoidance, of not
joining with the murderer in committing the kind of act he or she did.

Once again, an abolitionist demonstrates the belief that murder and
executions are the same thing. A human being loses his or her life in
both instances, but one is the act of a criminal while the other is the
result of that act. Why are abolitionist unable to distinguish the
difference?

There are differences and you mistated the position of abolitionists.

A common feature is that both murder and execution involves the killing of a
human being.

A major difference is that murder may occur at times without any
particularly planning to commit the act, but executions are well thought out
in advance. In fact the death penalty is classed anthropologically as
a ritual. Therefore, murders may be "cold blooded", executions always
are.

Why are retentionists unabled to distinguish that difference?

You forgot the fact that executions are legal actions taken against
those who commit the illegal act of murder.

I have no disagreement with that statement at all. Executions should be
deliberate acts, undertaken against those who have committed murder in
order to eliminate them and the threat they pose to all forever.

I've never had a problem with that. I have yet to see a retentionists
claim the death penalty is murder or the same as murder. Can you say
the same of abolitionist?

Wrong, I equated murder and the death penalty with killing.

I equated the death penalty to being purely cold blooded, but
murder is sometimes not, sometimes hot blooded, sometimes
cold blooded so sometimes due to momentary panic.

I hope you can work this out Richard, a bit complicated I know

If this were a general moral principle we would execute all murderers. We
do not, so we get in the business of trying to decide which murders merit
execution. We end up executing only a minute proportion of all murders
we send to prison. In fact, in spite of former murderers murdering again
it is not a statistical discernable effect. Not executing has no effect on
homicide statistics.

Recidivist statistics show that more new murders are committed by released
criminals who have previously not murdered than release murderers. Using
your argument we should kill them all to eliminate the threat. Males
present a far greater threat than females, so logically we should eliminate
them too.

I challenge the first sentence, just quoting somebody does not make it so.

Secondly, a murder may be instantaneous and involve no trauma at all for the
victim. Even in violent murder where the victim knows he is being killed,
the time can be short, a cruel murder is something like one involving
torture, taking a long time. There the trauma is the greatest. The longer
the period which the person is the treat of death, the greater the
trauma, like some of those on death row. If you know somebody
on death row, this will have meaning.

The whole quotation appears absurd.

Well, Earl, Richard asked for a retentionist comparing the DP with murder,
so I quoted. No position or standpoint of mine implied.
I rather think capital punishment equates an infection of the institution
which should reflect the best effords and wisdom of a society, i.e. the
justice system, with individual brutality. Even much worse, many
retentionists evoke by their observable attitudes the impression of lurking
around seeking a legal opportunity to bring a human at his (wits) end. Blunt
sadism is the companion of any execution in the US.

Sincerely

Jürgen

What you actually said, and subsequently cut in your replies was:

"On the other hand, one has to realized that humanists are also against
the execution of the guilty. Why "should they give two shits"? They
don't think of it that crudely, but they do want to avoid being tainted
by killing people. A key feature of abolitionists is this avoidance, of
not joining with the murderer in committing the kind of act he or she
did."

Please note the last sentence. "A key feature of abolitionists is this


avoidance, of not joining with the murderer in committing the kind of
act he or she did."

That seems to me, Earl, that you ARE equating a legal execution with
murder, a theme we see time after time from abolitionist. It is a bit
more subtle as befits your advanced age and experience, but still .....
Abolitionists readily admit that executions are the deliberate taking of
human life. That is why they are, in fact, classified legal homicides.
That's as far as the similarity goes. To attempt to say abolitionists
somehow HAVE to avoid joining in acts such as murderers commit. It just
isn't true.

Perhaps you can get Gaston to explain the difference to you. I hear
he's a real son of a bitch.

Compton's
Encyclopedia at America ONline (reprinted without permission):

SACCO-VANZETTI CASE. One of the most sensational murder trials in United
States history took place in Massachusetts in 1921. Although the
defendants were convicted and later executed, the results of the trial
aroused worldwide protests.
Nicola Sacco was born on April 22, 1891, in Apulia, Italy, and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti was born on June 11, 1888, in Villafalletto, Italy.
They both arrived in the United States in 1908. Sacco settled in Milford,
Mass., and worked in a shoe factory. Vanzetti lived elsewhere before
settling in Plymouth, Mass., in 1915, where he became a fish peddler. Both
men left the country for Mexico during World War I to avoid military
service. They returned to Massachusetts after the war.
On April 15, 1920, during a payroll robbery at a shoe company in South
Braintree, Mass., the company paymaster, F.A. Parmenter, and the guard,
Alessandro Berardelli, were shot and killed. On May 5 Sacco and Vanzetti
were arrested and charged with the crime. The fact that both were armed at
the time made them prime suspects. In addition they had reputations as
draft dodgers, political radicals, and anarchists.
On May 31, 1921, the case was brought before Judge Webster Thayer of
the state superior court. There was no hard evidence tying the defendants
to the crime. The jury refused to listen to the testimony of any
Italian-born witnesses. The judge was openly biased. Sacco and Vanzetti
were convicted because they were radicals and because they were Italian.
The trial ended on July 14, when both defendants were found guilty of
murder in the first degree. After receiving death sentences they appealed
for a new trial. Judge Thayer denied their motion in November 1924. A year
later, on Nov. 18, 1925, Celestino Madeiros confessed that he had
participated in the crime with the Joe Morelli gang. Still the state
supreme court refused to grant a new trial because, at the time, the
original trial judge had the final authority to reopen a case.
A storm of protest arose. A committee headed by A. Lawrence Lowell,
president of Harvard University, issued a report in August 1927 stating
that the trial had been fair. With the issuance of the report and with
Governor A.T. Fuller's refusal to grant clemency, protests increased.
Benito Mussolini, premier of Italy, made a special plea for their lives.
Demonstrations were held in major cities. Bombs were set off in New York
City and Philadelphia. All protest was to no avail. Sacco and Vanzetti
were both executed by electrocution on Aug. 23, 1927.
Agitation continued long after the execution. As late as April 1959 a
proposal was laid before the Massachusetts legislature asking the governor
to grant a retroactive pardon for the two. The motion failed. In the 1970s
a former member of organized crime, Vincent Teresa, wrote his
autobiography. In it he declared that Sacco and Vanzetti had not been
involved in the South Braintree killings. He said the actual guilty
parties were members of a gang of Italian-American criminals.

Nah, Earl.. it's all about keeping murderers alive so you can 'feel good'
about yourself, and not believe you have a 'corroded soul,' regardless
of how many murders are committed by those who have already
murdered. Don't kid yourself.. there is only a certain 'joining with the
murderer,' when you expect to maintain the life of that murderer. There
is a 'joining with the VICTIM,' if you expect justice.

No, potty mouth... actually what I quite calmly said was --

Since both of those executions preceded the 'simple murder' of six
million humans, slaughtered by the state, it's rather hypocritical to
even speak of them. But then what 'condolences' (sic) would desi
offer to the six million he has called 'smelly auslanders' (HIS words)?
Rather than using a justice system that provided a trial, regardless
of how flawed some may see that trial, it can hardly compare to
Europe's favorite method called 'genocide,' still practiced in some
parts of that backward continent, even today. Desmond has time
and again, proved he is the 'Uncle Tom' of the holocaust, hardly
giving it a glancing thought, while allying himself with those who
would deny it.

Of course, desi has also said that "the dead are dead, and cannot be
honored," thus he apparently intends to demonstrate here his hypocrisy
once again.

No, not equating, legal execution is worse in that it is thought out and
cold blooded. They are not the same in that sense.

In some cases the procedure leading up to the execution is unusually
cruel. One of the things the French would do, is not announce the day
of the execution. The to-be-excuted would only know it would occur
in the early hours of the morning, so any morning the guards could rush
in and grab him, haul him out for beheading. The gruesome aspects of
the beheading both fascinated and horrified the general population.

Judging from the comments of the one person we deal with in death
row the years and years the process takes and the conditions of
incarceration are in themselves unusually cruel. The whole machinery
of death is inhumane. Killing is so disgusting that we have now asked
technology to do it in our place. We delegate to the state the job
of doing it and the state dodges a bit since its agents don`t really
like getting involved with this dirty mess either. Being an executioner
has taken its emotional toll on many persons.

Murder itself is, unfortunately, quite often human. Most of them are
committed under the influence and killing people one knows. One can
end up killing in a robbery when the original intent was just to get
the money, using the gun to assure that. Murderers become inhumane
when the like it, the kill for the pleasure of it. At that level, the
"liking it" of the sociopath joins with those in the general population
who like executions.

Whatever, on most levels execution and murder are forms of killing which
are usually different in many critical ways. They are alike only in being
forms of killing. But the premeditated aspect of executions casts a dark
shadow on this ritual.

At the time of their arrest, each of had possession of a 32 caliber loaded
weapon. At the trial itself there was some question about the guns
taken being involved, but the arms expert Charles Amburgh identified
one of the bullets taken from from the victim as being fired from
Sacco`s revolver. This was one of the early on use of bullistics.

In 1961 and 1983 repeated bullistic examinations
were carried out and reconfirmed the original Amburgh identification.

I took this information from "The Casebook of Forensic Detection",
published by Colin Evans in 1996, but one other similar book we
own has the same information.

Strictly speaking Vanzetti`s weapon may not have been proven
as involved in the crime. I have seen no mentioned of this is the
brief descriptions we have. But the fatal bullet was fired from
the gun seized from Sacco at the time of his arrest. I think the
history of this aspect of the case is closed.

Oh, so now a legal execution is worse than murder in your opinion.

Equating murder and executions again? I thought you thought executions
worse than murder.

It was the type of case which builds a framework of disinformation
to the point that a new observer has to be careful about making
a snap judgment. That disinformation can occur on either side
of the issue.

A long time ago, Donna and I decided not to get involved in such cases.
We, in fact, prefer the case of true guilt for dealing with the death
penalty issue, the one case we are actively involved in is he case of
a self-admitted murderer. I don`t think at any point he had claimed
innocence, the legal issue was whether the murder qualified for the death
penalty in the state of Arizona.

However, when the actual issue of the execution comes up we have to get
involved in some manner. At that point it is the death penalty which is the
issue and not the possible innocence of the about to be executed.

No, I could not. Because I've never claimed there was a 'murder
conviction in a civil court,' nor in any court. Nor can a 'murder
conviction' be obtained in a civil court. Once again, you are
simply LYING. Which is not uncommon, coming from you.
In fact, I have mentioned Simpson a grand total of 3 times,
in posts where others have mentioned him 9 times, prior to
JPB bringing up the one post where I had expressed an
'OPINION.' In none of those posts did I refer to Simpson as
receiving a 'murder conviction' in ANY court. Unlike you, I
archive all my posts, so I'd be interested in seeing what
particular post you are referring to, or else you are simply
lying again.

It is certainly 'thought out,' as well it should be. It is 'cold-blooded'
only in the sense that it is done without emotion or excitement,
(although there is certainly an emotional aspect to it from the
families and the murderer), as well it should be. But it is certainly
not done in the sense of being deliberately cruel... which is the
difference. The lack of 'passion,' presumably making it 'cold-
blooded' in your view, is more of a positive rather than negative
effect, since it demonstrates that 'passion' was not the REASON
for the execution. Passion belongs to the murder and vigilante
justice only. The execution is conducted as a result of a reasoned
judgment, taking many years, and passing many hurdles. If you
wish to paint anything as 'thought out' and 'cold-blooded' (in the
sense of an absence of passion) in the justice system, then the
sentence of ANY prison time, can also be thought of as 'thought
out' and 'cold blooded' (in the sense of an absence of passion).

Face it, Earl. You simply see the DP as NOT another sentence
for a murder. You place it OUTSIDE of the realm that remains
Justice, by presuming it is DIFFERENT. But in the sense of
'thought out,' and 'cold-blooded' it is no different than ANY
penalty for a crime. They are ALL 'thought out,' and 'cold-blooded.'
But they are not murder... and clearly you come to a false
conclusion that one of those penalties is 'worse than murder.'

You're a fruitcake, Earl. A simple minded fruitcake. Murder is 'human'
only in respect to the fact that only 'humans' can commit that act.
In the rest of the animal kingdom, murder has no meaning. Of
course being under the influence, killing people one knows, and
a murder committed without intent happen. In my mind, none of
them justify the DP, although we have certainly executed some
murderers of that sort. But then you go totally off your rocker,
by equating a serial-killer with those who see serial-killers as
not generally acting in a manner we expect from our species.
It's the most absurd conclusion I've ever seen. Like your
claim that fighting monsters places you in danger of becoming
a monster. When actually NOT fighting monsters MAKES
you a monster-enabler. Without a doubt. Just ask a bunch
of people from a few years back.

Rubbish... that would imply there is a 'dark shadow,' on EVERY
sentence we provide for a criminal act. Kidnapping and incarceration
'are alike only in being forms of' involuntary captivity. But no one
would claim that the premeditated aspect of incarceration casts a
'dark shadow,' on that ritual.

Observation proves this statement plainly wrong. There are lots of people
who use the legalized cruelty as a platform for to satisfy personal hateful
feelings in a compensatory way.


>(although there is certainly an emotional aspect to it from the
>families and the murderer), as well it should be.

So what now? Is the purpose of capital punishment the unemotional protection
of society, as you are persistently claiming, or is it what your statement
above implies, i.e. the symbolic outlawing of a handful of wrongdoers,
demonstrating power over life and death by fully deliberately playing out
the thoroughly emotional cards 'fear of death' and 'revenge'?

But it is certainly
>not done in the sense of being deliberately cruel... which is the
>difference.

The death penalty in the United States Of America is fully deliberately,
intentionally and premediatedly cruel. The 'deserves'-argument is what makes
the cruelty of death row and execution a declared aim.

The lack of 'passion,' presumably making it 'cold-
>blooded' in your view, is more of a positive rather than negative
>effect, since it demonstrates that 'passion' was not the REASON

That official institutions have token in their hands what was done by
vigilants once is proof for exactly nothing. The proof or disproof plays on
a total other stage, Sir. To see whether your statements hold any water or
not requires to analyze whether the spectrum of executed and condemned by
your system were distinctable via their crimes and culpability from not
death sentenced offenders.

The execution is conducted as a result of a reasoned

The death penalty shows most obvious principled and practical differences to
any other penalty of the viable spectrum. There is barely even one aspect
where the DP would integrate properly, and this circumstance has even led to
a kind of parallel-justice system. Previously discussed en detaille.

Hardly "every", my misguided son.

I was referring to the process of killing somebody. That includes
the act of the murderer and the state.

It can also include a severity of punishment which compromise
our humanity. We don`t cut off the hands of thieves, nor even
their noses anymore. We once did, including branding and a
number of other "cruel and unusual" punishments in the colonial
days. By the time the constitution was written these practices
were viewed as cruel and unusual, and written into the
Constitution without specifying which punishments were cruel
and unusual.

I don`t know if the framers of the constitution thought about
"evolving community standards", but they certainly lived in a
period of enlightenment compared to what had been going
on in the colonies a mere 100 years prior to their time. They
were moving out of the "dark shadow" of the past.

Next, although the Supreme Court majority at times likes to
be absolutist with regard to the constitution, not regarding it
as a living but static institution, the "evolving community
standards" rulings do sneak in now and then introducing
(horrors) some moral evolution into the legal process, from
darkness to light.

So the lesson is clear, "cruel and unusual" is a shifting standard.
The darker the collective soul of the society, the more cruel and
unusual it is. Evolving community standards may catch up with America's
death penalty. Enlightenment has not yet fully occurred so darkness
remains. In Europe, we have stepped out into the light.

You obviously, and rather deceptively, left out a crucial part of
YOUR words. You sentence was "But the premeditated

aspect of executions casts a dark shadow on this ritual."
The point is EVERY sentence is 'premeditated.' There is
no 'special' premeditation to the DP, which would make it
different from another penalty in respect to 'premeditation.'
We do not sentence to ANY penalty without 'premeditation.'
You were referring to the DP, but in respect to 'premeditation.'
ALL SENTENCES are PREMEDITATED. Executions are
simply a penalty for a crime. That certainly implies EXACTLY
what I've said.

Actually, you haven't really said anything here, Earl. Except
how we 'did things before.' We don't do them that way
anymore, so it's entirely irrelevant.

Read my lips -- 'The past, Earl... the past.' Move into the
present, please. if we argue the 'past,' you know where
that always leads, once we go back further than Furman,
don't you? It leads to a whole different set of parameters.

That actually represents nothing more than your opinion,
Earl. And we already know how unworthy that is. Your
very words that you express against ALL retentionists
demonstrates a severe form of bigotry. And you have
certainly expressed such bigotry not only against me,
but against ALL retentionists. The next thing you know,
you'll be referring to Americans as 'smelly auslanders,'
as your buddy has done toward the Czechs and the
Poles. You should be ashamed to associate with him.
In sum... Isn't it ever possible that you could argue the
DP without presuming all who support it are 'evil'? Since
I do not presume all who oppose it are 'evil.'

Look who's obsessing? Have any proof of what you say? Obviously
not. But when one talks of spraying spittle and semen about in a
grotesque, drooling dance of perversion, one need only know of your
'drooling dance' in the execution of Richard Kutzner, who strangled
Rita Van Huss in her business. You 'danced' that dance, when
you called her a Dutch porno star, in posting "What do Dutch porno
stars have to do with this ..?" followed by your sly little wink, when
her name as a victim was mentioned by another poster. Seriously,
FDP, you need help. Your macabre behavior when speaking of victims
has deteriorated to the point of an 'obsession.' Think about your
vivid description of the last 43 seconds in the life of a victim. I
really believe your tongue was hanging lopsided from your mouth,
and your eyes were glazed in enjoyment as you posted that description.
There is no doubt in my mind that your participation in this group is
testing the edges of your sanity.

Only some of those who oppose it. That's when they attempt to
call those who see it as justice, all the dirty names that satisfy
their own personal hate. A good example is the very person I was
responding to. Try to tell me that his opposition to the DP is not
filled with hate for those who support it? He's called those who
support it as having a 'corroded soul.' Is that any kind of rational
thought or argument? Another example is desmond coughlan.
Think about him calling a mother whose son had just been murdered,
perverse. Think about his words -- "That the relatives of a murder
victim, should have a rather perverse desire to see the death penalty
reintroduced.." Clearly the 'personalized' hate that is evident in this
group, comes from a handful of abolitionists. Think of all those
abolitionists who call it 'state-sponsored murder.' Do you not think
that is HATE FILLED demagoguery? The implication is quite clear. They
are calling those who support the DP as also supporting murder, using
their hate as a 'tactic.' While we ALL know who MORE 'support' murder -
the retentionist or the abolitionist. The only ones who presume 'legalized
cruelty' in the DP are abolitionists. There is no question of that, since
no rational retentionist argues that 'cruelty' must be a PART of execution.
Only abolitionists argue in that direction. And THEY, and you, use that
platform to satisfy your illogical argument. We may well argue with
each other, and call each other names. But when one attacks ALL
who hold to a concept, that represents a form of bigotry, which does
not permit rational argument. It is what I found difficult to swallow in
your argument that all members of the pardon and parole board had
to be evil.

The APPLICATION must be in an unemotional context, or it
becomes 'passion' and that is not the same as 'reason.' And we
certainly expect to 'reason' when we sentence to the DP. Otherwise,
it is no different than a lynch mob. And the DP is far from that, given
the years between sentencing and execution. The PURPOSE is as
I have stated all along. Society self-defense. And it is obvious in your
'emotion' filled words, that you attempt to put other words in my mouth.
Since I see no 'symbolism' in it, other than the recognition of a society
that it will not accept murder, just as society will not accept rape
by providing a penalty for THAT crime. The only 'symbolism' is the
fact that we create penalties for ALL crimes. Society has ALWAYS
had 'power over life and death.' And has ALWAYS presumed that the
INDIVIDUAL does not. Even individual self-defense must be satisfied
to society that it WAS self-defense. One cannot CLAIM it, without
PROVING it, to the satisfaction of society. Thus, murder is
recognized as the act of an individual acting as a renegade against
society and its members.

Ho hum... here we go. It is deliberate -- and it should be. It is intentional
-- which has no meaning since all penalties are intentional, even those
that convict the innocent. It is premeditated -- as it takes many years
of due process to exact that penalty - as it should be. But it is
not cruel. That's simply the mantra of some abolitionists. Quite
clearly... cruelty does not enter into it, except in the examination of
how cruel the cause (the murder) was to expect such a penalty.

Quite untrue. It proves everything. We turn NO justice over to
vigilante justice. And the justice we exact bears absolutely no
resemblance to vigilante justice.

Perhaps you believe that is a neat turn of a phrase, but it is meaningless.

Huh??? So what? 20 year sentences are different from 10 year
sentences. L wop is different from a 20 year sentence. Your
argument is moot. All sentences of different length or variety are
simply different. And they are made different to meet those
principled and practical differences we expect to achieve. In the
case of the DP, we expect to achieve absolute incapacitation.
And it is the ONLY penalty where we expect and receive the
absolute results we anticipated.

That is certainly NOT a 'murder conviction.' ho ho ho. The ONLY
thing that is incorrect about my statement is 'guilty' when it should
be 'liable.' Of course civil courts do not provide guilty/innocent
verdicts, nor can they rule on murder. Thus any claim that I
said 'murder conviction,' is just so much bullshit.

No.. I'm going to claim that 'found guilty' in a civil court, does not
equate to anything. Nor does the correct 'found liable,' equate to
'found guilty of murder.' Nor does any of that equate to a 'murder
conviction.' Which is what YOU'VE claimed.

This is simply not true, and you know it. There is a huge amount of
projected hatred in the death penalty in general and any execution in
particular. Go to any message board of any death row inmate and experience

No it isn't. The lynch mob is all there. Your shutting eyes and ears does

No I don't, as 'deserves' is part of your argument. Otherwise you'd argument
exclusively with 'continuing threat'.

Modern societies have undergone a process of self-restriction, and
voluntarily waivered the right to kill prisoners.

And has ALWAYS presumed that the

Despots holding absolutistic power have killed and are killing all along,
and claim the legal right to do so. This was so for millennia until some
essential ideas of freedom and legal equality have made their course.
Capital punishment is in contradiction especially to the latter principle.

It is cruel, and I wrote exactly why. The death penalty makes an instinctive
feeling unavoidable and uses it so for punishment and psychologic torture.

That's simply the mantra of some abolitionists. Quite

You may try to relativate the cruelty of the DP by referring slogan-like to
the cruelties of individuals. This procedere however *proves* the point of
CP's cruelty rather than to nullify it.

Nope. The movement of the punishing power to legislation, jurisdiction and

not yet that the criteria and motives to speak any sentences must
necessarily have changed.

ROTFLMAO... Just go to THIS newsgroup and find the RAGE
that comes from SOME abolitionists here. A rage directed
toward the SUPPORTER of the DP, rather than the murderer,
who is presumed to need our pity, and is called a 'victim,'
while the DP is called murder, making those who support
the DP, supporters of murder. Don't be naive. The closer one
gets to EXCUSING murder, the closer one gets to SUPPORTING
murder, IMHO.

You have a very cockeyed view here, Jürgen. You cannot just
say that without proof, unless you state it as your opinion. Clearly
the only thing that I see, is a great deal of pious expressions of
pity (you've done it yourself) for murderers, and the implication that
those who support the DP are part of a 'lynch mob.' Just as YOU
now imply. Certainly YOU are part of the problem that I speak of.
An unreasoned identification of those who support the DP, with the
perception that we must be 'immoral' to do so, and consequently
'evil' to do so. When it is only justice and safety that is desired.
And you are only one of MANY from the abolitionist side, who
would blame the retentionist MORE than they would blame the
CAUSE of the DP, who is the murderer.

Yes, you DO. Here's what you said about MY opinion -- "So what now?
Is the purpose of capital punishment the unemotional of society, as


you are persistently claiming, or is it what your statement
above implies, i.e. the symbolic outlawing of a handful of wrongdoers,
demonstrating power over life and death by fully deliberately playing out
the thoroughly emotional cards 'fear of death' and 'revenge'?"

I clearly stated the PURPOSE, and have done so all along. But you
then claim that I stated my PURPOSE as something else, and put
it in very emotionally destructive terms... words that I have NEVER
used. Where did I say "emotional cards 'fear of death' and 'revenge.'?
You just MANUFACTURED those words and tried to put them into my
mouth.

Having nothing to do with my comment. And clearly you are
again presuming that the course Europe has taken is both
'modern' and correct. One could argue the opposite quite
readily. But the truth is I don't CARE what Europe does. It
is YOUR problem, not mine. Nor do I find Europe's approach
qualifies to be called 'modern,' since I do not believe we make
ourselves 'better' by insuring ALL murderers die a natural death,
given the fact that many murderers clearly murder again when
we give them such an opportunity, and we can hardly, IMHO,
call ourselves 'moral' simply because we keep murderers alive.
'morality' runs much deeper than that, in my opinion.

So have ALL societies. Again, you are trying to put a square peg
into a round hole. The U.S. is not a despotic society, and ALL
societies claim the legal right to kill in certain instances. Just
because they abolish the DP, they do not remove the right to
kill in self-defense, or in a law enforcement action during the
commission of a crime, or the enemy in time of war.

Hardly. Capital punishment is a recognition of the danger of some
members to other members. You may find it unnecessary. Your
entire continent may find it unnecessary. But do not try to
REDEFINE what is implied in its PURPOSE.

No. It is 'cruel' because you wish to SEE it as cruel. No other
reason except your OPINION finds it cruel. It is of course, used
for punishment, that is certainly one aspect. As is its use to
provide absolute incapacitation. But that psychological torture
is just more of your 'brutalization' bullshit, and we've been up and
down that road. There is LESS psychological torture to the DP,
than we could EVER provided in TRUE L wop. And further, there
is less possibility of making a mistake because of the heightened
due process afforded to that penalty.

The DP is no more 'cruel' than ANY penalty for a crime. Every penalty
deprives someone of some portion of their freedom.

Oh... God, I get so frustrated with you, when you begin spouting
those emotional 'slogans.' Your 'argument' presumes that the
ENTIRE Justice System is so afflicted. You may well hold to
that argument, but you should realize that in your words NOTHING
implies any difference in the sentences. You have condemned
ALL sentences in your words, since you say 'any' sentences, yet
we are speaking of the DP.

Not at all. I have read it again, very closely. And still cannot make
out the slightest idea of what you are trying to say. Except a few
words such as 'spectrum,' 'executed,' 'condemned,' crimes,' 'culpability,'
and 'death sentenced offenders.' The connection of an IDEA to those
words in your structure DOES NOT EXIST. Try again.

Many don't respond, you are too verbose.

The question is whether anybody else reads these one-on-one communications?
If not, exchanging comments with you is my form of entertainment. When I

I had the doubtful pleasure to experience the lynch mob myself, Sir. There
*IS* *FACTUAL* *PROOF* for lots of guys who are prepared for violent
measures against anyone who would dare disturbing their sick
execution-phantasies, regardless whether there are speaking considerable
facts against their imaginations or not.

You yet failed to provide any meaningful support for the claimed purpose of
capital punishment in the US. Zero criteria for an 'aggravated continuing
threat', zero criteria for 'deserves', and just so appears the composition
of death rows. A scapegoating against a capricious selection of guilties,
who have one property in common: They are any single one easy targets to
bash on. They are guilty of a homicidal crime, so the lot of you guys are
satisfied with a death sentence whatever the circumstances of the crime
might have been.

It is OBVIOUS that the death penalty is cruel.

It is of course, used

...and we will walk that road up and down, down and up. Death row and death
penalty are abusing and alienating for punishing purposes a feeling and
state of mind which is originally meant to be a life's safeguard. An
extremely gruesome form of imprisonment is premediatedly and intentionally
eternalizing and aggravating the condemned's fear.


There is LESS psychological torture to the DP,
>than we could EVER provided in TRUE L wop.

Because you say so, I suppose. You are very quick in declaring the life of a
prisoner worthless, because he is in prison and as long as he is in prison.

And further, there
>is less possibility of making a mistake because of the heightened
>due process afforded to that penalty.

Nope. See Earl's post about a release after 17 years.

"Some portion of their freedom" is and remains another quality than to deny
the right to live. Death row is a psychologically lingering death, for many,
many years. Full Stop.

OK, after you hold an advanced command of my language according to yourself
a translation:

Eine Erkenntnis ob Ihre Thesen einen verifizierbaren Gehalt aufweisen oder
nicht erfordert eine kritische Betrachtung, ob die von Ihrem System zum Tode
Verurteilten und Hingerichteten bezüglich ihrer Verbrechen und ihrer
Schuldfähigkeit von anderen, nicht zum Tode Verurteilten, unterscheidbar

Your problem with understanding the phrase may well find its origin and
reason in your refusal to concern with the meaning of the terms,
particularly of 'culpability'.

Are you contending the subject matter here lends itself totally
to one-liners.'? Obviously, you do. Since I spent some time
trying to dissect what exact IS your view on an abolitionist,
and you gave it no 'thought' whatsoever. So you're simply here
to troll, post meaningless articles from others, and make a
general pompous and vain fool of yourself.

In other words, the DP is an 'amusement' to you? Well, it was
what I suspected all along. You're simply here to preen yourself
in front of a particular group, and pretend that you are 'moral,'
because you hold murderers in such high esteem, and contend
that ALL those who don't have a 'corroded soul.' Since you have
failed to define a retentionist that you would accept does not
have such a 'corroded soul.' And certainly hoped to wiggle your
way deceptively out of the simple question. The identification of
you as a 'Tokyo Rose' to all things American was one of the
most puissant insights ever provided in this group. It fits you
perfectly, and you actually HAVE no argument vis-a-vis the DP
in the U.S. It is simply a reflection of your hate for your motherland.
Once again, what constitutes a view of a retentionist that you
would accept is not 'immoral'? And what specific VALUES are
they?

Ah yes, that from the guy who would contend his argument is that
those who support the DP are 'deathies,' and families and mothers
of murder victims are 'perverse.' Quite an insightful argument. And
full of 'content.' Although all of it stinks to high heaven.

Not to mention the literally dozens of examples where he has stepped
on his own dick in what have become rather famously referred to
as desi's SODS (Step on dick specials). A recent case being his
inability to see that the judge in the Louise Woodward trial could
most certainly have vacated the verdict if he felt it appropriate to do
so, since the defense had requested him to do just that.

Silly boy... The defense makes a motion to do exactly what you
claim they CANNOT do, and the judge RULES on that motion, and
you say he CANNOT rule on that motion. What a moron. Of course
Rule 25 (b) (2), did not apply. But look at the ruling of Judge
Zobel -- The defense made the motion, independent of any rule 25(b)(2).
See http://www.cnn.com/US/9711/10/au.pair.ruling/
Section 2, was the defense "Motion for a Required Finding of Not
Guilty." This was completely separate from any examination of
rule 25(b)(2). And it was examined and ruled on with -- "Measuring
the evidence by this strict standard, my duty inescapably mandates
my denying the motion in its entirety." You are perhaps confusing
the meaning of 'could have,' since he certainly COULD HAVE.
Whatever the CONSEQUENCES you might dream up in reference
to that motion are totally immaterial. He COULD HAVE ruled FOR
a Required Finding of Not Guilty. Which is what you said he
COULD NOT do. Certainly that 'ruling' might have been challenged,
but there is no question that he could RULE on the motion.

Rule 25 (b) (2), enters into this argument ONLY in respect to the
defense motion in Section 4 -- "Motion to Reduce Verdict." This
is clearly shown in the words of the ruling, where the judge states

"In seeking a directed acquittal or a new trial, Defendant
argued that the evidence as to causation so strongly raised a
reasonable doubt as to liability for Matthew Eappen's death that
the conviction could not stand. Now Defendant urges a reduced
assessment of her culpability, relying upon Massachusetts Rule of
Criminal Procedure 25(b)(2)"

The motions to Direct a Finding of Not Guilty, or order a new trial,
are completely separate for Rule 25 (b)(2). And NOTHING in
that rule would state that the judge COULD NOT find in favor
of the motions of the defense raised in Sections 2 and 3.

Because they are 'easier,' Earl. Have no doubt about it.
You don't respond to me, because you are UNABLE to
do so. Not because you choose to not do so. You're
afraid to do so. A simple question -- the name of ONE
retentionist here, who you believe is not 'immoral' in
supporting the DP, and what particular value that retentionist
displays in respect to the DP, that makes his view 'moral'
and mine 'immoral.'

Otherwise, we must conclude that your 'argument' (sic)
opposed to the DP, is based on hypocrisy and a bigoted
view of ALL who support that penalty.

!!! Another revealing statement from our NG's paranoid.

If I were afraid of you or anybody else, why would I use
my real name, which leads any potentially dangerous person
to my door in Paris?

On the other hand your behavior, lack of identity, indicates your fears,
even in claiming that I am afraid of you. I suspect you look around you
when you go out, is there somebody following? What is that man in the
car parked down the street doing. Did somebody find out my real

Not 'physically,' you nitwit. Afraid of my argument. Since you

ROTFLMAO. Seriously, Earl. We have GUNS in the U.S. I have a
gun. In any case, you will find that I am never 'afraid' of any question
or remark you pose here. But you most certainly are 'afraid' to answer
a rather simple question I posed. So let me repeat it -- Since in
your doddering old-age your memory often fails you --

"Let's look at this with a question to you - 'Do you consider
all who support the DP to an extent are 'underneath the rock,'
that you speak of? Does that make them all 'evil,' and possessed
of a 'corroded soul'?

Now presuming you do not feel that way, could you offer the
name of someone who SUPPORTS the DP that you feel is not
'possessed of a corroded soul'? And then given the facts that

a) I believe with better identification within our Justice
System, we could dramatically decrease the number of
proven murderers we find it necessary to execute,
while still providing the same degree of public safety.

b) I do not support the execution of ANYONE other than a
proven murderer

c) I do not support the execution of someone retarded or
insane

d) I do not support the execution of someone where
'aggravating circumstances,' are not conclusively proven.

e) I do not support the execution of someone under the age
of 18 at the time of the murder

f) I do not support the execution of those who murder in passion,
or drunkenness, or family quarrel, or depression or without clear
intent to murder before doing so

g) I do not support L wop as an alternative to the DP. Fully
believing the entire concept of L wop is certainly more flawed
than the DP, and in my mind certainly less 'moral.' For a
number of obvious reasons.

h) I support, for those murderers not executed, sentences
which are 'open-ended' with a minimum, and then close
examination at frequent intervals. This may result in
release if progress is shown, or may very well result in
never being released, but depending on the progress of
the murderer, more than anything else.

i) I fully support the due process we now provide to those
sentenced to the DP

j) I fully accept that 'finding of guilty' in all trials, is not
a perfect process.

k) I fully accept that Europe does not need the DP

l) I fully accept that INDIVIDUALS outside of the U.S. society
have a right to express an opinion concerning the use of the
U.S. DP, while I in turn have a right to argue against those
opinions.

m) Given those considerations, I consider myself to be a
'selective retentionist.' I maintain, in my opinion, that the
DP serves a purpose, and the only conceivable argument
against it, does not rest on a 'moral' foundation. I believe
the CONCEPT is quite distinct from the Justice System, which
must ALWAYS be examined and tweaked when seen
necessary to do so. I believe it makes no more sense to abolish
the DP in the U.S. than it would to abolish 20 year
sentences.

n) I fully recognize the danger and the possibility of the execution
of an innocent

o) I realize that disenfranchisement of an entire race in the U.S.
leads to a tremendous increase in violence

Then given those facts, exactly what sets ME apart from another
retentionist in respect to MY 'corroded soul,' other than the fact I
have shown you to be a fool on a great number of occasions?

Because THAT'S what's really at the heart of it, Earl. You can't
stand ME, because my ARGUMENT gives pause to those who
would dreamily accept your premise that ALL who find value in the
DP must be 'wrong' to do so. And being 'wrong' must also thus
be 'immoral' in the sense of 'wrong,' and thus have a 'corroded soul.'
Your argument in respect to the DP (and a great many other things),
is so flimsy that it crumbles when closely examined. And you
HATE to have it closely examined, which is what I intend to do.
Thus, by extension, it becomes necessary for you to contend 'I'
have that 'corroded soul' in order for your argument to make sense.
So give me the name of that retentionist, if one exists in your
mind, so we might compare values. Understand I need no name
of someone you feel is an 'Uncle Tom' to your position. This is
an argument about LIFE and DEATH, and 'delicacy' in presentation
has no meaning. And I would like you to say WHICH of the values
I speak of is founded in better values by the retentionist you see.
I speak of VALUES which are expressed in support of the DP that
you accept as values - which have some meaning - and what
specifically you feel those values are - of the one you feel is a
retentionist, without a 'corroded soul.' Making them 'better' than
mine."

> I will remain standing tall, you can now slither back under your rock
> and hide.

No, you won't 'remain standing tall.' You will remain 'under YOUR
rock,' unable to answer a simple and fundamental question regarding
how you view ALL retentionists.

Again, there is just as much 'hate' generated by those opposed
to the DP against those who support it. It is irrational to believe
you can find any 'fact' from examining those who CORRESPOND
with murderer. Of course, THEY hold 'hate.' That's WHY they
'correspond' with murderers. They either hate them, or are in
love with them. It's a cross-section that bears no resemblance
to a rational segment of society.

What the hell are you talking about? If there is ANY ONE PERSON
in this newgroup who is the target of MORE HATE, it is most
certainly PV. Even more than Sharp, and Don Kool, since they
have retired a bit. When was the last time YOU were called a
pedophile, or had YOUR handle forged, or had web sites created
with disgusting images portraying you? And I welcome that fact,
since I have hopefully stirred some measure of emotion, and maybe
made people THINK about their feelings. And perhaps even begin
to understand that much of it comes from an emotional well of
hoping to APPEAR 'moral.' I don't give a shit if they CHANGE
their view or not. As long as I can express MINE. So don't tell
me about YOUR 'doubtful pleasure.' I've had my own.. several
magnitudes more than you.

Clearly, 'we' have been accused of having a 'corroded soul' by one who
other abolitionists believe has 'something to say.' I do NOT associate
myself with retentionists who communicate with murderers. I have
made that perfectly clear in many posts. They become non-persons
to me when they murder. At that point they belong to society to deal
with. Do I 'hate' someone in respect the act of murder they committed?
You can 'bet your booty' I do. Because I 'hate' murder as well, and
THEY have caused what I 'hate.' But if you believe that in any way,
translates into 'hating' those who support abolition, you've lost your
mind. While I clearly see many who support abolition, 'hate' those
who support the DP. It is quite different to 'hate' a murderer, and
'hate' someone who is either for or against the DP.

My 'list,' Jürgen... my list. The 'purpose' of the DP is to SAVE
INNOCENT LIVES. Obviously, we must trade off the possibility
of executing an innocent and the possibility of a murderer we do
not execute murdering again. Jesus... how can you STILL not

some sort of 'fact.' It's all bullshit. Look at my LIST.. for ACTUALITY.
Yet you would STILL deny that those on that list FINALLY 'deserve'
execution and have POSITIVELY shown that rehabilitation is
IMPOSSIBLE. Yet you'd hope to keep them alive, so they might
try yet again to murder another innocent either in or out of prison.
Someone under a sentence of L wop, in a State that does not HAVE
the DP, may murder at will, with the clear understanding that they
CANNOT be punished any more than they already are BEING
punished.

It is OBVIOUS that ALL penalties are 'cruel.' If you wish to
'play' that game. You can no more reject the DP as 'cruel,' then
you can reject imprisonment for a crime as 'cruel.' And the
Supreme Court has already determined that it is NOT 'cruel
AND unusual,' since the words are NOT 'cruel OR unusual.'
In sentences to prison, temporary incapacitation can be seen
as 'cruel' if one WISHES to see it that way. One can see ANYTHING
as 'cruel' if one wishes to do so. Do you believe murder is
'cruel'? More 'cruel' than the DP? Of course you don't. You
follow the line of FDP. So 'cruel' is simply how YOU perceive
it. Not as how EVERYONE MUST perceive it.

la de da... Once again, simply more of your emotional claptrap.
I disagree with every word. Although your last sentence could well
apply to L wop, to a larger extent than the DP.

I notice that you have a few things that you 'believe' are fact,
but are simply your 'opinion.' My words, were of course MY
OPINION. Since I can NEVER get inside the head of a
murderer. But it's rather obvious that they would be hysterical
when facing imminent (like desi 'death holds no fear for me'
Coughlan.. they might even crap their pants). So the
psychological torture you speak of may simply be their
grasping for pity (which you seem only too happy to extend).
One can go to those message boards for DR inmates and
see that they are very clearly looking for 'sympathy.' In fact,
I pointed out one particular murderer, who murdered his
third wife, and while in prison met another woman in a chat
room, became her pen-pal, and eventually married her.
After his release... guess what? He murdered HER, along
with mother, and another woman he had just met the previous
day. And guess what, again? He is now in prison and
LOOKING for another pen-pal, with the message --

"Jewish Death Row inmate, white, 51 years old, seeking
understanding and open female or male for honest correspondence.
Amateur poet, artist. Will answer all correspondence received.
PHILLIP JABLONSKI, C-02477/SE95, San Quentin, CA 94974"

And certainly, the very concept of L wop, every bit as much as
the DP PRESUMES the murderer's life is 'worthless.' We only
keep them alive, so that WE might feel 'good' about ourselves,
and our 'presumed' morality for doing so. Of course... IMHO.

Yep.. see all the articles referring to those 100 some who
were released from a DP sentence. Clearly, in my mind,
had they been originally sentenced to an alternate penalty
they would STILL be in prison, as innocent men.

No... what kind of logic is that? We only have so many DAYS
IN OUR LIFE. And your 'opinion' holds no more validity than mine
did, above. I said 'less' and you said that was only my opinion.
You now say 'more' and expect everyone to bow down before
YOUR opinion.

No... it's clearer in German, but STILL doesn't make much sense.
Although a bit more in German. Essentially you are asking ==
A realization whether your thesis has verifiable content, is if it exhibits
or does not require a critical view of whether from your system one
can distinguish if those condemned or those not condemned are
executed in respect to their crimes and their criminal liabity toward
others.

Using as many 'elegant' words as you can possibly find to
'impress' me. And a huge run-on sentence typical of German.
Not one friggin' period in the whole damn thing.

And clearly, the answer to your still muddled question is that the
question itself is posed in a manner (as many of your 'questions'
in English), that lends itself to making a statement inside of the
question. Clearly the answer is such a critical view is embodied
in the trial process itself. We cannot claim to 'know' more than
what the trial process discovered. We can form 'opinions'
regarding that process. And we can certainly hold opinions
that some who we believe should have been executed, were
not. And contrarily hold opinions that some who we believe
should not have been executed were. One could easily pose
your question in respect to the ENTIRE Justice System, since
the process of finding guilt/innocence is within THAT process.
The question of 'have we ALWAYS executed the 'right' person,
in respect to comparing the murder committed by THAT person
to all other murders, is simply an exercise in triviality. Since
we certainly can ask that about ANY crime committed by
ANY person, receiving ANY sentence.

It relates to the FACT that you've claimed that shit would be rolling
down your drawers, and you would be screaming 'I don't want to die!!!!!"
if you were faced with your imminent demise. How soon you forget
your own words -- "Personally, the guards would have a job holding me
down, as the litres of excreta that would be covering my legs, would
make it difficult for them to grab a hold of me .." In the thread
"re: Going quietly" 2000/09/20. But then again... 'death holds no
fear' for you.... ROTFLMAO.

> Why not remind us all of the two gaffes that earned you your Golden
> Moron awards ? O.J. and Woodward anyone ..? *guffaw!!*

Actually, I had the balls to admit I had said 'guilty' when I should have
said liable. However, you lack the balls to admit that I never used
the word 'murder' in respect to that argument, knowing full-well he
could not be 'convicted of murder' in a civil trial. In fact, to another
poster some time back in the thread "Re: so quicko" 2001-05-13
10:01:19 PST, when 'becky rickel' asked
"why is o.j. Simpson still walking around..."
I replied --
"Umm... because he was found innocent???"

Now, let's see. In the case of Woodward you said two very direct
statements -- I've left out the rest because it is just too embarrassing
for you, and what I did find rather shows that the GENERAL LAW
clearly rejects specifically these two conclusions (sic) you made --

"The Judge was _not_ empowered to 'overturn' the verdict.
All he could do was to reduce it to manslaughter. Which is what
he did."

"The judge is only authorized to adjust the jury verdict to reflect
a conclusion of a lesser degree of culpability ..."

And guess what??? The Massachusetts GENERAL LAWS say
you and JPB are totally full of crap -- See
http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/278-11.htm
Because the LAW says --

CHAPTER 278. TRIALS AND PROCEEDINGS BEFORE JUDGMENT.

Chapter 278: Section 11. Directed verdict; setting aside verdict,
new trial or finding of guilty of included offense.

Section 11. If a motion for a directed verdict of not guilty is denied
and the case is submitted to the jury and a verdict of guilty is
returned, the judge may on a renewed motion for a directed
verdict of not guilty pursuant to the Massachusetts Rules of
Criminal Procedure set aside the verdict and order a new trial,
or order the entry of a finding of guilty of any offense included
in the offense charged in the indictment or complaint

I believe that is rather conclusive evidence that the judge is 'empowered'
to do MORE than simply reduce it to manslaughter.

Yes.. go figure the reason that abolitionists indulge in such 'hate.'
Certainly 'I' am not a murderer. But apparently MY presence here,
generates more 'hate' from abolitionists then they hold toward
murderers themselves. I have argued with many abolitionists
who claim to not hold hate toward murderers, but certainly demonstrate
they hold hate toward retentionists. It's rather clear, right here in this
group. Without even naming a name, it would be absurd to deny
it, simply by the reaction to my comment alone.

Of course there is. But you apparently overlooked my remark. We cannot
expect to find a 'rational' cross-section of those who support the DP,
within the group who correspond or interact with murderers in prison.
It is EITHER INTENSE HATE or INTENSE LOVE. Witness our
resident abolitionist, Earl, who sends 'care packages' to those murderers.
And you yourself, seeming rather obsessed with visiting such
message boards; commiserating with murderers, and expressing how
much you 'pity' them.

[The argumentation about capital punishment wil be repetitive. The following
however I'll post once. Normally I'd mail this to the private account.]

People can stand direct insults, as they can easily be ignored. What has way
greater insulting potential is to pretend a serious argument, whilst using
dishonest methods. This is transporting an implicite claim of the
discussion-partner's silliness and a deep contempt for your vis-à-vis.

Furthermore a coincidence of (1) flaming and insulting opponents on a
regular basis and (2) whiny complaints to get *RE*-flamed is a quite
ludicrous affair.

This, Sir, are the reasons why you are so severely insulted here. Not your
retentionist standpoint. Note that there are other retentionists who are
treated much better than you.

While I well agree with the first, i.e. that a retentionist is bound to
uphold intense hate as a requirement for an execution I disagree with the
latter. You have not to love anyone intensely for granting him his life.
Most of this people have committed horrible crimes and deserve a harsh
penalty. It is surely no act of love to advocate for an extended prison
term.

Witness our

Perhaps you can ask Earl who HE believes is a moral

What are you talking about? I impose no 'moral standards' on
others. I simply recognize the rather obvious. The fact that you've
referred to me as a pedophile is rather 'hateful.' You must be
in borderline neurotic denial, if you don't realize that you 'hate' me in
respect to 'this newsgroup.' Obviously extending no further than
that. Although I must say that in respect to Don Kool it DID
extend beyond here, you having accused him of firebombing
your flat, and claiming to have been 'responsible' for sending him
to Federal prison. You need to understand that such is not an
example of 'rational thought,' in posting here.

Ummm.. FDP... if we can't rely on 'dictionary definitions' then
apparently you believe we can make up your own. dirtdog does.
Obviously, between you and I there is a rather deep amount of
'hate.' I certainly 'hate' evil, and to be quite truthful I see it in
many of your comments. Usually directed against retentionists
in general or specifically, and your (you must admit this) hate
for things American.

There is no doubt in my mind that you 'hate' me, in respect to
my presence here. Obviously, beyond our 'imaginary existence'
that we present here, you're not connected to me, and I'm not
connected to you in a personal context. So this 'hate' only
extends to the sense of our postings here. But you really
need to examine your own prejudices, and recognizes that
you have been a 'wayward missile' on many occasions.

> I don't 'hate' you. I believe that hatred is such a negative emotion,

Is this another of your 'pious' attempts to appear 'paradoxical'?
Of course hate has a negative connotation. But denying it is even
worse. The difference between one who admits to 'hate' and the
other who denies it, is that the former is a realist and the latter
is a hypocrite.

Don't be absurd. You cannot equate hate into the terms you've
placed it. But let me assure you, that you DO hate 'me' for what
I post here, which extends to my posting anonymously.
Whether you are obsessed enough to take it any further is
totally irrelevant. If you did not 'hate' me in the sense of my
presence here, you would not find it necessary to even respond
to this post, as defensively as you now do.

> Even if the above were not true, there remains one barrier to my 'hating'

Quite wrong. There is no 'requirement' that you have to KNOW
someone to 'hate' them. I 'hate' murderers. Not for the entire
person that they represent, but for the act they CAUSED. Because
I hate murder. And I certainly don't KNOW any murderer in a
personal sense. Nor do I 'hate' any murderer in a TOTAL sense
of their entire existence. You do not 'hate' me for the entire person
that I represent (nor do I you), because we do not KNOW that whole
person. I hate you, and you hate me, for our presence HERE.
And ONLY in respect to our presence here. Quite clearly,
regardless of how you would deny it -- You 'hate' ALL retentionists.
You refer to ALL of them as 'deathies' which presumes a great
deal of hate in that word. Any retentionist who refers to any
abolitionist as a 'murderer-lover' HATES that person for the
perception that they ARE a murderer-lover. Certainly Earl
hates ALL retentionists. He could not even answer a simply
question to NAME JUST ONE retentionist that he felt was not
'under a rock' or did not possess a 'corroded soul.' Now I wouldn't
expect you to hate the ACTUAL person of EVERY retentionist.
But if you have half a brain, you understand what I mean.

I ask no one to accept my moral judgment as theirs. You are
obviously unaware of my posts if you believe that. Because
I have ALWAYS expressed that morality is totally and absolutely
a 'SUBJECTIVE' judgment. Nothing is absolute about morality.
Further, I do not refer to all abolitionists as 'murderer-lovers' as
you refer to all retentionists as 'deathies.' I respect ANYONE who
holds a position that they have formed a 'moral' opposition to the
DP, if they respect that I have formed a different 'moral' view of
the DP. Obviously, you do not. I respect anyone who forms a
pragmatic opposition to the DP, although I disagree with their
conclusion that abolishing the DP is a pragmatic solution. And
I would hope they respect me for finding a different pragmatic
view of it. What I can't agree with is hypocrisy. And to be right
up front with this -- you stink of it.

And further, I have formed an opinion that the EU is hypocritical
in their sanctimonious claim of 'right to life' of a murderer, for
EVERY murderer. Although, I make no claim to suggesting
they change the way they do things. Simply how I SEE they
do things. I see it as hypocritical but not reaching any sense
of immorality in my view.

Of course it did. And don't try for one second to pretend that
when I point out that you said you would shit in your drawers
if faced with death in one post, and then in self-adoration
proclaimed that death held no fear for you, that you aren't
totally pissed off. Our 'purpose' here is apparently to piss
each other off (you and me). And it is an expression of hate.
Which returns to the basic premise I offered. Every time you
catch me in a misspeak, you gloat and gloat, hoping to piss
me off. While I certainly do the same. And the reason IS --
we 'hate' the PRESENCE of each other here. And do not
try to avoid this with some silly remark that 'you don't piss
me off, PV, you make me laugh.' Because that ISN'T
my meaning. I am speaking of what WE do, not how
we would DENY what effect it has on us.

Once used is quite enough. But at least you put it in quotes.
And you certainly didn't 'tweak' my nose, you silly shit. I'm White.
You tried to 'tweak' the nose of an entire race. But that somehow
is something you seem unable to grasp. You didn't call ME
that name, you USED it. And didn't even bother to put it in
quotes, which makes it ETERNALLY YOUR WORD here.

To put this into some kind of context you might possible understand,
try to imagine that a word existed that would be the most vile
possible insulting word one could say against ALL British (there
is of course, no EQUIVALENT word for the British to the one you
used for a Black. Which should give you some idea of what racism
actually is). Now presume that I USED that word within the
context of a post to you. Could that POSSIBLY reflect on you? Of
course not, you're neither British (a shame), nor did YOU say
the word. Who DOES it reflect on? Well, ME, of course. So...
I am neither Black, nor did I write the word. YOU DID.
So what does that make YOU? You figure it out.

If you think you 'wind me up,' in any sense of 'real life,' you're
sadly mistaken. I actually LOOK FORWARD to slapping you
down. After all... I am retired. You're simply casual amusement
to me. This is one of the very few posts to you, where you will
find I even try to get you to understand. Because I gave up on
you a long...long...long time ago.

Actually, FDP... you have presented NOT one shred of evidence
in respect to Don Kool, and have been refuted by someone familiar
with him, by the fact that he has never stopped posting for
any length of time at all, and by the fact that the Baltimore County
Police are not the Federal authorities. Further, you made some
very GRAVE accusations SPECIFICALLY in respect to him having
committed a very GRAVE felony. Accusing him of firebombing
your flat, which is a crime every bit as serious as rape. You would
do well to announce that your accusation did not rest on any
foundation of truth. Because your words did not contain any
sense that it was your 'opinion' that he did, but were rather
a presentation of a FACTUAL claim that he had firebombed your
flat.

To one who believes that our species has a soul, clearly it is
one of the more 'hateful' insults I can think of. It has nothing
to do with any 'organized religious' aspect, but a rather fundamental
belief that we are not superior to nature itself. That nature itself
has a 'being' and we are part of that 'being.' In point of fact,
it's PURPOSE was to BE HATEFUL. I try very hard to limit
my insults to those relating to intelligence or a lack of perceptive
abilities. I am not always perfect in that respect, but I will
clearly say that I TRY to be that way. Stupid comments are
ALWAYS fair game, as far as I'm concerned. And I do not
expect any favorable treatment from others in respect to my remarks
in that direction as well.

There is no question that I hold contempt for anyone who claims
my views are 'evil.' They have held contempt for me. Clearly YOU
hold contempt for my views. And I admit I hold contempt for yours,
in your presuming that murderers deserve our 'pity.' And it's humorous
that you 'picked out' a retentionist who has been long gone, as one
you consider 'not evil.' I would presume that someone who CHANGES
their view from retentionist to abolitionist would SUDDENLY also
become 'not evil' in your view.

Those type posts are NOT all 'one-sided,' sport. Clearly, I have
never claimed that another poster's mother provided me oral
copulation. Clearly I have not forged posts using the handle of
another poster here. And clearly I have not devoted an obsessive
amount of effort to creating web pages meant to insult others.
The first example was certainly applied on me. The second example
was applied to make it appear I was a racist, and there is still
a person imitating my handle. The third has been tried by THREE
different abolitionists here. This is not whining, because I truly
don't give a shit about all that. But do not presume YOU can
insult ME with your petty bullshit, obliquely claiming that I provide
flames and insults to 'opponents.' Clearly, when you FIND an
effective 'opponent' to me here, point him out. I haven't seen one
yet. And certainly YOU don't measure up.

No, I am severely insulted because my argument cannot be handled.
No retentionist can accept that society self-defense plays a role in
the DP. To do so, admits a pragmatic purpose to it, and it no
longer can be seen as simply 'revenge.' Once some abolitionists lose
that CRUTCH they depend on, their argument loses much of its
flavor.

Need some fodder to handle?? You always speak of how my list
doesn't have much validity. How about this? See -
http://usgovinfo.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/cp00.pdf

There you will find that of the total of 3,593 under sentence of
death, as reported by the U.S. government, a total of 285 of
them had prior conviction for HOMICIDE. This works out to
a recidivist rate for those on DR of 7.9%. Rather flies in the
face of those claiming how LOW the recidivism rate is for
convicted but released murderers. Trust me, I will be mentioning
this figure again, until someone offers a rebuttal.

Oh, please... I do not mean 'love' in the sense that you wish to
'take them home' with you. I mean it in the sense that many wish
to 'bond' morally and emotionally with the murderer, seeing him as
a 'victim' without the slightest clue of the actual act that brought him
to that most terrible of ends. Clearly with those who express hate, I do
not mean THEY wish to physically attack or kill the murderer themselves.
It is in both respects, an EMOTIONAL response, rather than anything
in a physical sense.

Perhaps you'd like to take a position on the 'critical question' I
asked you. How many murders must a murderer commit, when
he is caught EVERY TIME he murders, before he should be
executed? 3 times? 4 times? 5 times?
Exactly what 'critical question' are YOU referring to? That I don't
'like' those who murder? That I don't feel it appropriate to 'feel pity'
for a murderer? That I expect society to deal with murderers, from
the moment they murder? That I expect society to express mercy
when it seems appropriate to do so, but I do not expect to
second-guess society on EVERY action it takes?

One think this does confirm, is that your lack of sleep is a self-confessed

And no fucking wonder, either.

I for one, find it impossible to sleep in a room thick with the scent

That the trouble with 'moral' standards - they are subjective and are
usually indicative of the culture, religion, standard of living etc that
those
who believe in such standards were brought up to. Practical or
common sense solutions are more easily translated from one culture
to another. But why waste my precious substance on you two?
You are both insane 'moralists'.

Ugh!! Dreadful stuff. I bet if you smoked you'd smoke menthol
cigarettes. Give me Assam any time.

No, you're right. No one has ever said that.

We won't. The evidence of guilt seems pretty solid for one and the other, at
this date, we cannot be sure. There was certainly some legal misconduct in that
case, many years, ago, and we are happy to report that we have had in the US,
for many years, a much better system in place.

Overwhelmingly, the US criminal justice system benefits criminals, dishonors
victims and contributes to future victimizations.

You simply are unable to grasp the meaning of ANYONE here,
other than your pompous self, are you? A 'good night's
sleep' might well 'cure' what you seem to think possesses
me. While they have no 'cure' for the stupidity that possesses
you as yet.

Going to bed at 11 PM in Paris!!!! My God.. you must be 100
years old. At least I have an excuse, here in shuffleboard city.
If it were not for other considerations it would be big-city
condo for me, and certainly not an 11 PM curfew.

nibble...nibble...nibble... SNAP... Earl is hooked, gaffed and gutted.
Like so many before him.

For a 'pitiful attempt at self-defense,' look at your own 'schedule,'
Earl. In bed around 11 PM in Paris. Get outta here!! 11 PM is
supper-time in Paris. Try going to Les Halles, and catch supper
at 11 PM in Pied de Cochon. You'll find it packed. And you'll find life
just BEGINNING. And if you leave before 3 AM, you'll be the first
one to do so.

Alors grand père....et les noctambules c'est quoi? Cette vie
intense qui commence quand les couilles molles vont se
coucher, ces conversation jusqu'au petit matin qui refont
le monde et qui donnent des Sartre, des Baudelaire, des
Verlaine..... des génies inconnus qui te donnent des cours
plus intéressant que toute la Sorbonne.

To bed at 11 PM in Paris!! No wonder I find you to be a senile old
fart. Face it, Earl. Your 'example' of a typical 'day in the life of
someone in Paris,' is the most depressing thing I could imagine.

One thing that is confirmed is that you are half-dead already, if in Paris
and you go to sleep at 11 PM.

What is 'weird' is confusing 'morale' with 'moral.' Now THAT'S weird.
