Second debate section at bottom of page with improper citations

[edit]

Why is there a second "debate" section all the way at the bottom of the page with additional references? Also, none of the references in this additional section are cited properly.

Ohio Moratorium

[edit]

In the second graphic on this page, Ohio is marked as red (active death penalty state). It should instead be marked as blue (formal moratorium). Governor Mike DeWine has explicitly said that no executions will take place in Ohio until a new lethal injection protocol or execution method determined to be constitutionally acceptable by the courts is adopted by the state. To enforce this policy, he has repeatedly been rescheduling executions to later dates while the new protocol or method is developed. This constitutes a governor imposed moratorium.

Map needs to be updated.

[edit]

Utah is shown as having had no executions in 10+ years. They executed someone today. Leoolkh (talk) 19:30, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Killing people is wrong? Jesus said to forgive! 136.37.105.109 (talk) 17:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your view of Holy Scripture is limited. God did not prevent Jesus' execution nor that of the two thieves beside him. Romans 13 tells us that God has established the government "not to bear the sword for nothing". Swords don't imprison, they kill. Isaiah in Scripture reads, "For with fire and with his sword the Lord will execute judgment upon all men and many will be those slain by the Lord." I encourage you to read the whole Bible. When Jesus spoke of forgiveness, He spoke of personal forgiveness by the victim, not of forgiveness by government nor did He deny God's coming judgment (Matthew 11:24, Luke 17:29) 2603:9001:CF0:6370:34:F428:900B:F021 (talk) 20:10, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
South Carolina executed someone on September 20, 2024. The map needs to be updated. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 01:30, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Death Penalty is practiced in Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri and California althoigh there is a halt in California and Tennessee. Every other state it is not practiced in. 136.37.105.109 (talk) 22:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Executive Order

[edit]

How are we going to do this. Someone needs to add a section on the new excuses aiming to reinstate death penalty by lethal injection in all states, I just don’t know where it goes. 76.78.206.71 (talk) 02:35, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
