Attorney General Bill Barr announced on Thursday that the federal government will resume carrying out the death penalty.
“Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding,” Barr said in a press release. “The Justice Department upholds the rule of law—and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system.”
It’s been almost two decades since the federal government carried out capital punishment.
Twenty-one states, including New York and Massachusetts, have abolished the death penalty.
According to Pew, public support for the death penalty hit a four-decade low of 49% in 2016. However, support in 2018 rose slightly to 54%.
It’s highly unlikely Trump knows that the method of execution for federal death penalty crimes is lethal injection. He must have asked his pal in North Korea how they do it. “Dogs would be bigley!” “The machine guns you used on your uncle” “So amazing!”
Just another way the GOP is trying to get rid of brown people.
I wouldn’t mind watching Trump get given the Ramsay Bolton treatment.
Will this give all the evangelist christens an erection?
Unmitigated evil, for purely selfish reasons of misdirection.
