Blowing through social media, the Usual Moonbats are more upset with what MTG said than a woman being set on fire
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is calling for the swift trial, conviction, and execution of the man charged in connection with the gruesome murder of a woman burned alive on a New York City subway.
The outspoken Republican took to social media on Tuesday to address the incident, in which Guatemalan national Sebastian Zapeta, 33, is accused of setting a woman on fire while on a train in Brooklyn.
“Death penalty, don’t waste money on a lengthy trial. Convict him and finish him. What he did is so incredibly evil,” Greene declared in a post on X. “I can’t watch the video anymore. And how it seems like no one tried to save her is beyond me. Maybe they did but it doesn’t seem like it.”
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., also called for capital punishment.
“Death penalty,” she tweeted.
Unfortunately, it takes way too long to go through the whole system before someone is put to death. Obviously, there are those on the Left and the Right who are not fans of the death penalty. How about building a federal prison for the worst illegal criminals on an island off the coast of Alaska? Nowhere to escape to, nice harsh cold conditions, which is wonderful for all those who came from hot countries. Or, just drop them off with a few supplies and say “we’ll be back periodically for your court appearances”?
And don’t come back! https://t.co/E0B7ezaGf3

Massachusetts Gov. Healey clarifies state’s stance on migrants
Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey is making it clear that her state is not a sanctuary state despite eight Massachusetts cities, including Boston and Cambridge, declaring sanctuary status. Sanctuary policies are designed to limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with the primary goal of protecting immigrants who are in the country illegally from being detained or deported by federal authorities.
Healey sat down for an interview with WBZ-TV in Boston earlier this week.
“We’re seeing the number of migrant families coming into Massachusetts go way down,” Healey said. “That’s good because I’ve also sent the message: Massachusetts, we are not a sanctuary state. If you come here, there is not housing.”
Huh. I thought all these Dem run states were super accepting of illegals? Well, until they realize how much they cost and how much crime they bring. Oh, and I bet she’s been listening to Tom Holman when he says he’s serious about seeing those who help illegals will get prosecuted.
The greatest problem with opposing capital punishment is that the people we wish to save from execution are just so unworthy of continuing to breathe. We’re arguing for a principle, while the pro-capital; punishment people are arguing about utter scumbags.
Although I’m opposed to the state executing monsters, I don’t lose mush sleep over it.
Murderers rarely expect to be caught, and likely care little if they live or die, so the death penalty is not much of a deterrent. The US has the highest homicide rate of any modern nation.
Lock ’em up until they die of natural causes or prison violence.
I was against capital punishment most of my life till I sorted out the theory of criminal penalties. There must be a supreme penalty to be handed out for the most heinous crimes. Just handing out more time in prison is okay but when it gets to the point where everything from second degree murder on all have the same penalty the point becomes moot. And pointless.
Elwood mentioned the oft quoted and naïve notion of “deterrent” but that only works up to a point. If there is no death penalty there can be no deterrent. If death is not a deterrent then how can more time alive be? Face it, we’re not looking for deterrent, we’re looking for punishment. Even death is not a deterrent as Elwood points out. I mean even with the death penalty has murder diminished, decreased, or ended? Of course not. Therefore it has not been “deterred”.
We are constitutionally prohibited from performing the only punishments that even stand a chance of deterring any criminal actions. The constitution was adopted at a time when the death penalty was universally accepted as a just punishment throughout the world but now even our “kinder and gentler” means of execution are considered by some/many to be wrong.
We have diminished the penalties for all crimes from shoplifting to mass murder in our feminized society. Jean Valjean was sentenced to 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread but today in many areas of the US one can steal anything up to a value of $950 with zero punishment. In 2023 there were over 19,000 murders in the US and a staggering amount of executions:24. What deterrent? That’s just stupid. Plus, the idiot in the WH just commuted more going forward.
Elwood in his usual wave of a hand style stated: “Lock ’em up until they die of natural causes or prison violence.” So Elwood cares so little for the lives of other prisoners and of prison guards he would spare those who warrant death and put them together? Why? That makes no sense if he is really against the death penalty.
Justice requires the death penalty if for no other reason but for making the worst crimes answerable to the worst penalty.
Plus, I think a little societal revenge is good when an illegal rapes, sodomizes and murders two little girls, don’t you?
What societal benefit is derived from Biden’s commutation of the 40 murderers duly tried and sentenced to death?
Should society be responsible for feeding, clothing, housing and providing medical care for such monsters for years on end?
Or is it more beneficial for society to remove such miscreants from the face of the Earth?
FJB,
For many of these monsters, death is not the ultimate punishment. And if execution is not a deterrent OR a sufficient punishment, why not use unbearable torture?
Things like skinning alive. Burning, Boiling. Broiling. Disemboweling. Suffocation. Poison injections. Breaking bones. Cutting off toes, fingers, lips, ears, nose. Branding. Pulling fingernails. The rack.
Humans have been very ingenious at inflicting unremitting pain.
You’re one sick perverted fuck, Rimjob.
The problem in this case is that murder is not a federal crime, unless you do it on federal property. Perhaps we need a law stating that any crime by an illegal is a Federal crime.
The point of Capital punishment is neither deterrence nor punishment. It is separation. When a person proves by their actions that they are too dangerous to ever be allowed to return to civil society, then putting them to death humanely is the only humane recourse. People are not created to be confined for decades in prisons. Only death ensures that the executed person never gets loose, never gets pardoned, never continues his life of violence behind bars on other prisoners and never continues to control his criminal empire from behind bars. Only death works every time it is tried. Simple death works exactly the same as complicated or horrific death, so just go with simple and get it done in about 3 years.
Note: It only took 6 years to execute McVeigh and he had a full suite of appeals and reviews. Proof that it doesn’t NEED to take decades.
