This
article from Daniel Greenfield exposes the Pro Murderer/Anti Victim Activists (ACLU Demons) on how they ill-treat the
murder victims:

"Contemplate
that if Hitler falls into our hands we shall certainly put him to death. Not a
Sovereign who could be said to be in hands of Ministers, like Kaiser. This man
is the mainspring of evil. Instrument - electric chair, for gangsters no doubt
available on lend-lease."
- Winston
Churchill, 6 July 1942

Torturing
Murderers to Death for the Greater Good
May 25, 2014
The return of the electric chair
has death penalty opponents papering the walls with outraged press releases
even though they’re the ones responsible for bringing ‘Old Sparky’ back.
Opponents of the death penalty made
the most of Clayton Lockett’s prolonged death, but it wasn’t the state that
made his death slow and painful. The liberal activists who rushed out to claim
that Lockett’s death proved that the death penalty was a cruel punishment had
deliberately made it that way.
Oklahoma was forced to use a new and
untried drug cocktail to put down the brutal murderer and rapist because death
penalty opponents had cut off the supply of reliable pharmaceuticals. Due to
pressure by domestic activists and the European Union on pharmaceutical
companies, states have been forced to secretly assemble drug cocktails of
medications without the knowledge of their manufacturers. Each lawsuit filed by
the pro-criminal lobby risks revealing the means by which a medication was
obtained and shutting down its supply channel.
Executions in the United States are
rare and a tiny part of the market for pharmaceutical companies who would
rather please liberal regulators and the medical establishment.
While prison systems work to ease the suffering of condemned prisoners,
the death penalty activists who claim to care about them labor night and day to
make their executions as painful as possible.
There is a method to their cruelty.
In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that
lethal injection did not represent cruel and unusual punishment. The question
hinged in part on the risk of pain through the procedure. In 2010, the American
Board of Anesthesiologists warned it would decertify any anesthesiologist
participating in the death penalty. Then the supply of sodium thiopental, the
medication mentioned in the ruling, was cut off.
The goal was to raise the “substantial
risk” of serious pain in lethal injections and move the Supreme Court toward
outlawing or suspending the death penalty. The worse an execution went, the
more likely it was that future executions would be stopped based on the risk of
it happening again. By making lethal injection as messy as possible, the
pro-criminal lobby was torturing killers now to save future killers.
Lockett’s execution showcased the
left’s warped morality and brought its goal closer.
European countries continue to
use sodium thiopental, whose export to the United States they refuse to
allow because of the death penalty, to kill their own people.
Belgium, which uses sodium thiopental
for euthanasia, voted to euthanize children. The Netherlands, which employs
sodium thiopental for the same purpose, permits killing children over the
age of twelve. The last “minor” executed in the US was a man in his thirties
who at the age of seventeen had set a couple on fire after locking them in the
trunk of their own car.
In the UK, which was the first to cut
off the supply of sodium thiopental, the Royal College of Obstetricians and
Gynaecologists proposed “active euthanasia” for disabled children because, “A
very disabled child can mean a disabled family.”
European countries condemn the cruelty
of lethal injection for murderers, but use the same method to kill their
children. Despite their posturing over the death penalty they are not our moral
superiors. Like their Third Reich counterparts who also murdered sick and
disabled children, they are on the same moral level as the murderers we
execute.
It’s no wonder they oppose the death
penalty.
Driven by that same foul mix of
self-righteousness and sadism, death penalty opponents want to make executions
appear as grotesque as possible so that voters, politicians, judges and juries
will be more reluctant to follow through when the electric chair replaces the
needle.
But they don’t intend to stop there.
While some opponents of the death
penalty act on religious grounds, most are pro-criminal advocates. Their agenda
is to damage the justice system as much as possible through lawfare that
exploits its weak points. They believe that the criminal justice system is a
capitalist tool for protecting private property and oppressing minorities.
Their lawfare seeks to overload the criminal justice system and make every
phase of it as expensive and burdensome as possible so as to discourage and
limit its use.
Outlawing the death penalty is only one
step in their campaign to free as many criminals as possible.
After California’s death penalty was
shut down by a Clinton judge, more Federal judges stepped in ordering
California to release 46,000 prisoners after ruling that prison
overcrowding was, like the death penalty, cruel and unusual punishment.
Supreme Court Justice Alito warned
that “the majority is gambling with the safety of the people of California.”
A quarter of California prisoners are
lifers and so the state has gone from tough sentencing laws supported by
the voters to a judicial activism forcing it to free 1,400 lifers in the past
three years.
81% of California lifers are
murderers. 10% are attempted murderers. 6% are rapists.
After 2008, 3,000 lifers were
freed; over 1,000 more than had been freed in three decades. Governor
Jerry Brown has been responsible for the lowest rate of parole denials of all
three previous governors.
The overcrowding ruling was a means of
extracting murderers from prison, just as the death penalty ruling was a means
of keeping them alive. The endgame for the pro-criminal lobby, whether its
members call themselves death penalty opponents or prison reform activists, is
to free criminals.
California shows that for the
pro-criminal lobby the next step after the death penalty is revolving door
prisons for murderers and rapists. Obama has been doing his part to help free
drug dealers and crackheads through what his attorney general, euphemistically,
calls sentencing reform, but at the state level this is a war fought by leftist
lawyers and radical foundations against the families of their victims.
Violent crime rates in the US have
dropped sharply because increased prison sentences took career criminals
off the street. Average time served for violent criminals increased by 37%. The
$10 billion cost criticized by the pro-criminal lobby was modest compared to
the savings in human lives and budgets when the murder rate was nearly cut in
half.
There were 20,000 fewer rapes, 300,000
fewer aggravated assaults and 270,000 fewer robberies.
These successes gave the public a
false sense of security leading to decreased support for the death penalty and
increased support for pro-criminal leniencies. Like a patient who wants to stop
taking antibiotics because he feels better, some forgot that crime hadn’t
been solved; only locked behind bars.
Once crime rates rebound under the
impact of the pro-criminal “reforms”, the backlash will lead to a return to harsh
penalties. Meanwhile tens of thousands will suffer until the effects kick in on
a large enough scale to destroy any public support for the pro-criminal lobby
and its killer clients. And then the only legacy of their efforts will be the
corpses stacked in morgues and rape victims in hospitals.
Victims of their cruel war against
life sentences and the death penalty.
