Our statement on President Trump's reversal of the planned livestream execution of the Fort Hood shooter.
"We welcome President Trump’s decision not to livestream the planned execution of Nidal Hasan. His decision follows widespread condemnation of the public spectacle.
“But this reversal does not resolve the deeper questions around capital punishment. It wastes taxpayer dollars, fails the families of victims, and does not improve public safety.
"The controversy should prompt conservatives to look beyond the method of execution and ask a more fundamental question: Is the death penalty a power the government should have at all?”

Other countries that use the death penalty: Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. Is this the company we want to keep? Hear more from our recent webinar with Corinna Barrett Lain: youtube.com/watch?v=6unlYB9W…
“Capital punishment is significantly more costly and inhumane than sentencing a criminal to making license tags forever … and by no means a deterrent to violent crime.” postandcourier.com/opinion/c…

On this World Day Against the Death Penalty, we recall the humanity of everyone caught up in these cycles of violence and remind ourselves that continuing that cycle dehumanizes us all.

Today is World Day Against the Death Penalty, October 10. Our conservative principles compel us to ask hard questions about a system that is ineffective, costly, prone to error, and inconsistent with our values. Today, and every day, we're working toward a safer, stronger future for our country. Join us: conservativesconcerned.org

Agree 💯, Lila.
Execute the guy. Do it by firing squad. I support that.
But to livestream it?!
Sick. Childish. Petulant. Stupid. And dark.
Bloodlust isn’t Biblical. And it shouldn’t be something we celebrate or elevate in America.
Our appetite for and habituation to violence will be our society’s downfall.
Public executions don’t teach respect for human dignity and God’s image; they make violence a spectacle for public entertainment, and they corrupt the young and innocent. In modern America, there is no need for executions — they only breed vengeance, violence and dehumanization.
Satan loves this.
ICYMI!
Can we trust the state with lethal injection? According to Corinna Barrett Lain, author of Secrets of the Killing State, the answer is no. Watch our full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=6unlYB9W…

You can be a conservative and oppose the death penalty in modern America.
If conservatism includes skepticism of bloated, fallible, and sometimes corrupt government power, there is a strong conservative case for refusing to give the state its most ultimate and irreversible power: executing a human life.

Today is International Wrongful Conviction Day. More than 3,696 individuals have been exonerated in the United States since 1989, spending a combined 4,102 years behind bars.

Lethal Injections Are Crueler Than Most People Imagine. I’ve Seen the Evidence Firsthand deathpenaltynews.blogspot.co… #lethalinjection #deathpenalty
Worth a watch today more than ever. Wrongful convictions should give all of us reason to examine the enormous responsibility we place in the hands of the government.
An irreversible punishment demands an error-free system.
On International Wrongful Conviction Day, we're asking an important question: what's your number?
Since 1973, at least 203 people who were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death have been exonerated in the United States.
The death penalty is the ultimate form of government authority, granting the power with the irreversible decision to end a human life. This level of authority raises serious concerns about government overreach, since any error is final and beyond correction once carried out.
As Adam Luck, former chairman of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board explains, we can't get it right every single time. There's always going to be an error rate. How many wrongful convictions — and wrongful executions — are we willing to accept?
For us, and for Adam, our number is zero. What's yours?
