Thread: Donald Trump advocates death penalty for drug dealers in rambling speech

The Philippines' drug addicts, shunned by society and hunted by assassins

It's a nice message to get out, the seriousness of dealing killer narcotics. But, I oppose the death penalty because it will be used on the wrong people like so many of our War on Drugs laws have been.

I support the Death Penalty for serious drug pushers, I support it for violent gang members and cartel, for schools shooters, for child rapists and all rapists, violent criminals, serial killers, terrorists, domestic terrorists for many of these vermin that walk the face of this Earth.

There are too many, they are killing innocent people and we cannot afford to warehouse them all for 50 years!

Do you support the death penalty for 1st degree murder?

I knew you floated to the left on most social issues, but I never imagined you would be opposed to capital punishment for someone who would commit first degree murder. Oh well, each to their own.

first degree murder


Also found in: Medical.first degree murder

n. although it varies from state to state, it is generally a killing which is deliberate and premeditated(planned, after lying in wait, by poison or as part of a scheme), in conjunction with felonies such asrape, burglary, arson, involving multiple deaths, the killing of certain types of people (such as a child,a police officer, a prison guard, a fellow prisoner), or with certain weapons, particularly a gun. Thespecific criteria for first degree murder are established by statute in each state and by the UnitedStates Code in federal prosecutions. It is distinguished from second degree murder in whichpremeditation is usually absent, and from manslaughter which lacks premeditation and suggests thatat most there was intent to harm rather than to kill. (See: murder, second degree murder, manslaughter, felony murder doctrine)

Yeah, I've opposed the death penalty since I was 12 and haven't seen, heard or read anything since to change my mind.
