Will killing her bring the dead back? or comfort the family of the dead?
Yes, Killing her will comfort the family....

And what does the law in that country or state says about someone who kill someone

➜You can extend this to many other issues. do you know why gangs members are killing each other everyday in chicago today? It's because they refuse to forgive..
➜ forgiveness breaks cycles of retaliation
➜ and stops people from hurting each other again.
1. Those are individuals making individual choices.

2. Well, society cannot and should not wait on the moods and whims of individuals or groups..their delusions included. It should be able to run effectively despite that. That is why we have the legal and justice system separated entirely from and existing above such delusions. 😒

3. This can never happen. So, as long as humans exist, hurt and pain will remain. 😒

➜Are you a US citizen? Do you pay tax to the US?
You know nothing about me yet you were certain it was not my tax money? 😒

By the way, the same would and should apply everywhere else. Taxpayer money shouldn't be used to keep and maintain prisoners. They should, like everyone else, be required to earn their keep while also paying for whatever crime they committed. It is unfair system that has taxpayers working their butts off to carry themselves as well as those who violate the law. 😒😒

Justice is meant to be an equal measure to fit the crime committed. Death was the fair judgement for what she did. Why should it be reversed and hence made unfair? 😒😒
thanks for this bro

➜ Justice does not serve as a deterrent for crime. This right here is what I'm against. What is the point of Justice if it is not a deterrent to crime?
➜ If legal justice had zero deterrent effect,
➜ we would see no difference in crime rates when laws are strictly enforced versus when there is no law.
➜ Justice is not a retributive punishment machine. the point is to maintain public order
➜ and prevent future harm and
➜ you can't just dismiss family members as "outside the purview of the justice system" When you say this it makes me question your educational background.
➜ And there are different types of deterrence pls. Read more on laws and enforcement systems before arguing with me because you talking off point right now
.
1. Again, as I have repeated time and time again, the Justice system focusing primarily on ensuring that all those who violate the law are met with equal and just consequence/repercussions/punishments for crimes comitted against society. 😒😒

2. You cannot deter a human being from doing exactly what he has intended to do. You can attempt to deter, but if a human has decided to kill another, chances are over 50% that he would carry out exactly that. That much is common sense to those paying attention so far. 😒😒

3. The Law- the social contract between individuals in a society... instead serves as an agreement allowing the legal system and justice system to enforce restrictions and penalties against those who attempt to violate the contract. When the law is strictly enforced, it results in quick removal, prosecution, and sentencing of all those who violate that social contract to the full extent of the law. Crime will always exist... no question about that. However, ensuring that all crime will be punished is the responsibility of the law and the Justice system.😒

4. Is it me, or do you not understand the meaning of the word retributive? It literally means a fair penalty repaid for a crime. That is exactly what the justice system is about, and I have had to repeat this to you over 5 times now.
And it is the system that maintains order. It does not prevent crime because crime prevention is beyond the purview of the Justice system. Again, I have mentioned this several times now. 😒

5. It is literally in the definition of justice that the concerns of family members of the victims are not included. Why in the world are you trying to give things an entirely different definition from that which is established as part of the societal contract? What do you hope to achieve by this?😒😒

6. I should read more of the law, which you literally seem to have a warped understanding of, as is? 😒😒

Answer the question and stop using questions as diversions. It’s easier to form opinions and suggestions for pains you have never experienced.
You are a bitter person really, and you have already answered the question. However, my advise is that there is a realm bigger than this present reality we are living, so when making decisions one must factor in realities of that realm. So try and get access to that realm so your bitterness don't destroy. There is actually purpose in everything including forgiveness. As a Christian, I try as much not be led by every system of the world.

Yes , the victims will get justice, secondly if anyone kills any of your relatives or love ones, you can allow the person go, no problems 😊
. So because I preferred a life sentence over killing her after 30 years in Prison already, I am now myopic, not of sound mind and do not respect the position of the law or appreciate justice. I pray for you to defend this comment on that DAY!

1. The first what? What do you mean she is the first? 😒

2. The worst crime? Crime really isn't about the worst or not the worst. That delusion that it is only sits inside the heads of those who refuse to see things as they simply are. It is about action and consequences. The moment your commit a crime that meets the stated punishment, you get exactly that. It happens that the legal consequence for the brutal massacre she carried out is death, and she is merely having to face the stipulated consequence as stated in the Law of the state. 😒😒

1. The person who brutally murdered the victim cared nothing for this invisible realm. Why didn't this bigger realm come down to protect the victim? 🫤

2. So,you are better than Jesus Christ of Israel whom you Christian pretend to worship? His Kingdom's justice system stipulates eternal hell punishment -- the second death -- for all those who violate his law. It is literal codified in his Gospel which happens to be the constitution of the nation that is the Kingdom of God. You are against that? 🫤🫤

1. Your statement is myopic because your suggestion is that the law which stipulates instead the death penalty despite how long she may have spent be bent backwards to accommodate your feelings in this. The law is not about you. That is first. And it is not tailored to suit your misgivings. 🫤

2 what day would that be? 🫤

A report even said she was a victim of child sexual abuse, multiple rapes, and parental abandonment and neglect and had first attempted to take her own life when she was twelve. She thereafter associated with bad and occultic people in her teenage years in school.
I heard after committing the deed she was showing a piece of her victim's skull all around the school.
Even in prison she was documented as being violent.
Her psyche is likely damaged already. See her eyes in that pix on her blue dress.

A sentence that is punishment for eternity, with no possibility of parole, forever, is not worse than death? WOW! Are you seriously insinuating that death is worse than eternal damnation? You must think yourself better than Jesus Christ of Israel. 😒😒

In my opinion, she has already being prison for so long enough. Thus, a life sentence is more decent than killing. She was 18 years old acting on perhaps impulses. 30 years behind bars already in regret.
Go and evangelized that to the mother who received the body of her dead baby in pieces.

Dreambeat:
I think the death penalty should be commuted to life imprisonment. She was too young to understand the gravity of her crime when she committed it. Life should give us all a second chance
Are you talking about the life she took that the owner didn't get a full one chance to make use of?

What is the use of living when your liberty is taking away from you. I would rather share my organs to sick people before going to meet the lord maybe I can get a 2nd chance.

The woman in the photo is Christa Gail Pike. She is currently the only woman on Tennessee's death row and, having been sentenced at just 20 years old, is often noted as the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S.

The crime occurred in January 1995 when Pike was an 18-year-old attending a Job Corps program in Knoxville, Tennessee .

Driven by jealousy involving her boyfriend, Pike and two accomplices (her boyfriend and another student) lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer into the woods. For over about 30 minutes, they tortured and beat Slemmer, carving a pentagram into her chest. Pike delivered the fatal blow by striking her skull with a chunk of asphalt .

Prosecutors described it as an act of "extraordinarily brutal" cruelty.

After nearly 30 years of appeals, Pike's execution is currently scheduled for September 30, 2026 . If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years .

Though her lawyers are currently fighting the sentence through a clemency petition and a religious-liberty lawsuit regarding the lethal injection process.

Do you think she should be executed?

She intentionally lured and killed an innocent girl out of jealousy and rage, and is being maintained by tax payers money for over 30 years?

She and her deep southern accent should be in hell by now screaming, not being kept alive to breathe the same air we do.

How did she learn her lesson? What lesson did you confirm from being inside her head that she learned, and why? The punishment given was death... no lessons necessary. Contrary to stories your head may have been filled with from your background, Justice has nothing to do with the learning of lessons or deterring crimes. It simply has to do with meeting crime with equal and just punishment. Whether the individual learns a lesson or not is between said person and his maker/abi na mother and father. 😒😒
Contrary to your fantasy, I couldn't get into her head.
And your silly talk about my background speaks a lot of absurdities pertaining to your sanity when it comes to real life discussions which affects humanity on a global scale. I would advise you open your heart to learning about the dynamics and spontaneity of Humans, Humanity and their ability to harbour variables with intent to learn and be better informed.
Re: Christa Pike: American Woman On Death Row To Be Executed September 30 by brainycaleb(m): 3:55am On Sep 24
I've been a teenager once, I've experienced teenagers and they confidently believe their actions are justified but by the time they're over 30, they cringe in shame at every single action they took years back and would do anything to want to correct it if possible.


We are all humans at the end of the day!

You couldn't get into her head, but you are certain she has learned her lesson? Don't you see how you contradict your own earlier claim? 🤔

2. Your background is unnecessary here. You never lived with this woman in jail, but you were sure she had learned her lesson, revealing how naive you are when it comes to humans in general.🤔

3. Open my heart to spouting ridiculous claims like the one you made earlier about how this lady has learned a lesson from this that should necessitate the bending of the law in this case? 🤔🤔

4. So, these aren't many of the same variables that are equally used by humanity to carry out horrible crimes and wickedness against their fellow humans? 🤔🤔
