Russia Today: The Alyona Show- 'Show & Tell: Death Penalty, Barbaric?'

Source:Russia Today- the Sexy Blonde?

"RT (formerly Russia Today) is a state-controlled international television network funded by the federal tax budget of the Russian government.[5][6] It operates pay television channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Russian.

RT operates as a multilingual service with conventional channels in five languages: the original English-language channel was launched in 2005, the Arabic-language channel in 2007, Spanish in 2009, German in 2014 and French in 2017. RT America (since 2010),[7] RT UK (since 2014) and other regional channels also offer some locally based content." 

From Wikipedia 

"Now that Troy Davis has been executed, despite the amount of doubt surrounding his guilt, we asked if you if you think the US should still use the death penalty. Take a look at our responses. As always thanks for your responses and here's our next question for you. We discussed accusations by the GOP that President Obama is waging class warfare by proposing raising taxes on millionaires. So what do you think? Is Obama a class warrior?" 


Before I get into my position on the death penalty I just want to lay out as one of maybe five people who haven't followed the Troy Davis case. All right, maybe ten people in the country. The Far-Left has been all over this story, like water on fish. I absolutely have no idea whether Mr Davis is guilty of the murder he was convicted of. And he's not the reason why I'm writing this post. But I will admit, that without this story I wouldn't be writing this post at this time. 

The death penalty is not an issue I think that much about except when I'm watching true crime shows and thats the only time. And I've basically has the same position on the death penalty since my late teen early 20s. If you believe in human life and that all innocent life is worth cherishing, which is what I do, then there needs to a the toughest standards for people who don't and will intentionally take innocent lives, for whatever the reasons. Which is who and what the death penalty is for: for people who don't respect innocent lives to the point that they'll intentionally take them regardless of the reasons for doing so.
