a question about murder and murderers
Petey:
Is the guy that gets paid by the state to admins a lethal injection shot or that flips the switch on the electric chair a murderer? wouldn't that put him in the same boat as the guy that is getting the death sentence? What about the judge that sentences him to death?
could you do this job and sleep at night knowing that you traded in your morals for your meager wages?
Anunikke:
You could claim that their reasons are justified but most murderers believe so.
They're murderers, the death penalty is wrong.
Russell Bell:
Its all about context. The guy who robs a liquor store and shoots and kills several people and takes the rest hostage is not comparable to the guy who puts him down. Is he murdering someone? Yeah, but he's taking out the guy whos a known threat to the public. So he should have a great conscience.
