    Where do people come up with this stuff?

    Where do people come up with this stuff?


    I'm a member of many true crime groups on facebook. On one of the groups; Murders, Missing People and More Mysteries; there's this delusional woman who's been trying to convince everyone the death penalty is wrong because "hundreds of innocent people have been executed". Where do people come up with this stuff?

    Hardcore abolitionists are known to lie and make gross exaggerations to try to make the reality of capital punishment more gruesome than it actually is. Read Helen Prejean’s twitter response to the new Federal execution dates. She claims the new protocol (single dose pentobarbital) is untested. It’s been used plenty of times already.

    (To be fair, there are definitely more grounded people who speak out against it, but yeah)

    Whenever people are defending a topic or issue that doesn't have that much merit or research they tend to just generalize and exaggerate numbers. Stupid people and delusional one's can't be swayed even when you point out how wrong they are. EX whenever people go on about lynching's in this country they ignore the reasons why and the race of those who were lynched.

    The Anti DP figure heads make a living off of making up drama to make the death penalty look menacing so go figure on them.
    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
