ACLU is full of garbage as for all practical purposes NJ has had a ban in place since the 1960’s. That is no executions.

The people of jersey are getting the government the majority elected. Unfortunately, there is a large percentage of the people in jersey who will pay for the social engineering the goobernator is enacting with the complicity of the legislators and the state employees unions. Last one out is a rotten egg!

i don’t get it: being soft on the death penalty cost mario cuomo the guvnaship of ny.

and people are more pro-death penalty now than they were then.

and studies show it’s an effective deterrent.

why some people going soft on convicted murderers is noble beats me.

but the left wants to be easy on murderers and easy on jihadists.

at [least] they’re consistent.

anything that can make it tougher to maintain our Judeo-Christian civilization they are for.

“costly” ??!?

As compared to feeding, housing, and clothing an inmate for life in prison?

Come on, we’re not stupid!!!

Wouldn’t it be something if instananeously the homicide rate went through the roof? I do not wish that at all for those unprotected people In NJ, but wouldn’t be something if it jumped before the year is out?

My prediction:

Because that perceived deterrent is now removed, we will see a surge in homicides in New Jersey over the next few years.

For the left, consequences of your decisions are never important, as long as you feel good about having made them.

So, more residents of New Jersey will be killed, but the state legislature can feel good because they aren’t going to execute murderers.

Absurd!
