Excellent that Rodney Reed will not be executed next week, but it should never have had to come to that. Many have been executed who were later proved to have been innocent. The death penalty is barbaric and should be abolished.

Good thing you’ll never see the White House. Death Penalty is a deserving punishment for murderers

Perhaps Reed isn't a murderer but he is a rapist and violent criminal. But he shouldn't be killed, he should loose his freedom and be put to use. Medical testing maybe? Hard labor? His room and board shouldn't be free.

Bullshit. No one who has been executed has been proven innocent, not even semi.

The complexity of the present time seems to demand an evolving of our souls if we are going to survive.
There are 100s of men that should be freed from #DeathRow for the same reason as #RodneyReed...we have to keep fighting for them too! #EndingTheDeathPenalty is imperative to the human race!

I agree. IMO the death penalty creates more conflict and injustice. It doesn’t end emotional suffering.

By that same logic so should abortion. This one argument about when it is morally correct to terminate human existence is very divisive.
