Death penalty for drug dealers? Trump approves.

He has no reason to lie, and if he ever was a drug fiend, you really think it would be hidden from the press for this long?

Sorry, but just because he wants drug dealers executed, you don't get to paint him as some coke fiend, so you can claim he's a hypocrite.

I'm certain these laws/policies would not be written overnight, but I have no issues with this concept. Of course, I don't see it applying to some punk selling nickel bags of weed, but I believe it should apply to high-level dealers within the U.S., to include foreign-born traffickers.

I understand no one is putting a gun to our heads and forcing us (the U.S.) to snort or inject, but two wrongs do not make a right; traffickers are just as guilty.

Also, they need to stop treating the drugs addicts like the victims...
 
Hate to point out the obvious to you well-informed liberals, but we already have the death penalty for drug dealers.

We just don't enforce it.

This wouldn't even require a new law, or action. It would just require the AG to enforce laws already on the books.

We also have the death penalty for Robbery, Mutiny, Piracy, Counterfeiting (lol?), and aiding in the escape of a prisoner.

why thankfully?

executions are not a crime deterrent. many on the right will claim that the govt cannot be trusted to even effectively run the DMV, yet they can be trusted to kill the correct people?

It takes 1/2 an hour to issue a Driver License. It takes YEARS upon YEARS of hearings, appeals, etc. to sentence someone to the death penalty.

yea, and we still F it up. do you deny:

1. that the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime, or...
2. that we have undoubtedly executed innocent people by accident.

Well don't go around banging porn stars, and I won't accuse you of doing coke.

They tend to go together.

Why do they have to be, to be enforced?

I could argue LWOP isn't a crime deterrent. I guess we should just stop locking people in cages for the rest of their lives, when they fuck up, because it hasn't yielded any significant results in crime deterrence.

Not sure what the stats are regarding deterrence, but I've heard plenty of people say "I don't wanna go back to jail, again."

I wouldn't doubt for a split second that a handful of innocents have been executed.

However, I'm also certain innocent people have been locked up. Should we stop arresting people?

Not necessarily. You can love sex with random whores, and still not be into drugs. Stormy Daniels is a porn star, but I wouldn't recklessly accuse her of being a coke fiend just by association.
 
Eroding our second Amendment rights was the Hillary Clinton fantasy.
Welcome to the Donald Trump reality, you assholes

that would me difficult to claim. we have no control group for crime rates without punishment of jail.

you can release people that are locked up accidentally. you cant give them that time back, but you can make up for the mistake to some degree. how do you take back and execution, at all?

if executions led to crime deterrence, then the US wouldnt have the highest murder rate in the developed world. we're also the only developed country who still kills its citizens. this was the case before the appeals process drug out the execution process for years too.
