Applauding executions...a dark and scary moment in US history
I am still trying to recover from the moment in the Republican Debate, when Brian Williams asked Rick Perry about the 234 executions in Texas under his tenure as Governor, and the audience cheered and applauded.
Can anyone explain to me what is worth cheering about here?
I happen to be 100% against the death penalty.
But even if I wasn't...what can be seen as a positive in something like this?
This is incredibly reminiscent of Europe during the rise of fascism.
I never ever thought I would see something like this in my lifetime

Well, what's worth cheering about here is that there's 234 who won't have a chance to kill anybody else any more.
I'm copacetic with that.

For most of history, executions were public events cheered on by crowds. The fact that they are trying to compare this to Nazi Germany is laughable. :whatever: Personally, I have no interest in watching an execution, but there is a certain satisfaction in knowing that a vile criminal has left this life.

What about if it is an innocent unborn baby that is being put to death? Still 100% against?

It's reasonable to celebrate when justice is done.
When it's done 234 times, that's cause for a big celebration.

Progressive: Timid and cowardly. Unable to treat criminals as criminals, but seeks to make them victims and inflict criminals back on society again.
Typically, the Progressive only shows courage in large groups or mobs where group think is encouraged. Such a mob can whip itself into a murderous frenzy.
The progressive will engage in violence when it is sure its prey cannot turn upon him. Thus progressives all support gun control to disarm those it intends to harm.

I don't know, I'm not sure it's any worse than giving a guy whose total claim to fame is fake Greek columns & a teleprompter a Nobel Peace Prize. At least those 234 in Texas earned their final reward.

Precisely, you da Mann! ^5.
I don't think I will ever fully understand the Libtard's disconnect of capital punishment and abortion. Abortion is murder, plain and simple. In fact it is the worst sort of murder, that of taking the like of a defenseless child for one's own vain convenience. That could not possibly be more callous and depraved.
On the flip side I am a staunch advocate of the Ron White school of capital punishment.

In Texas, we have the death penalty and we use it. If you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty... mine's putting in an express lane. :-)

My daughter's teacher tried to tell the class that capital punishment does not serve as a deterrent. I told my daughter that it most certainly DOES serve as a deterrent. We know that criminal will never again kill, torture, maim, etc.

It's a 100% guaranteed deterrent, and it's the only way to absolutely eliminate recidivism.
Human society for millenia have recognized the wisdom of capital punishment.
It's only the past few decades of moonbats who have tried to change that.

Your daughter must have the same teacher my son has. When he told me of this ,the better half and I
arranged a sit down with her and the vice principal. When I asked her did she say that to my son, she readily admitted that yes, she did. I asked her what did that have to do with Calculus? She looked at me like a deer in the headlight. She then went off and started to have a discourse on why the death penalty is wrong?
I looked at the vice principal and asked him, "What does this have to do with Calculus?" The vice principal being a football coach replied "Nothing." The Vice principal then calmly told the teacher she should consider staying with math rather than giving her her opinions to students. She tried to start up again, but the vice principal calmly told her again, "Do not do it again." He then asked us to leave. What he told her, I have no idea. Evidently the teacher was stuck on stupid, she was a casualty in the teacher layoffs last spring.
