How Harford County Lawmakers Voted on Death Penalty Repeal

From a state who's flag once flew high and proud with the saying "Don't tread on me"! It is such a shame that this state has succumb to the radical left lunatic liberals! O"Malley repeals the death penalty, abortion is legal but he wants to ban all guns! What a nut that you democrats voted for. Still Baltimore, his beacon on the hill, is a disgrace. O'Malley how does your voters of Baltimore City, Prince Georges and Montgomery counties feel with such a high crime rate and you want to dis-ban all citizens? Sounds like O'Malley is stepping back in time to 1865 when slaves were freed but were not allowed a gun. With a higher black population in these counties and city it just seemed like you hate your constituents! Drugs, gangs and murder as high as it is and you want a gun ban? You and Obama are two peas in a pod, "shall not be infringed" read it till you understand it!

What an ASS! Ban your guns,try educating yourself on current events.And when was that saying on a Maryland flag.Bunch of teabagger nuts! If you dont like it move. We liberals wont miss you. And if there are so many of you "patriots"(stupid people who believe anything the loudest person in the room shouts at you)why do liberals run and control this state! You and your ilk will never gain control because those of us who believe in freedom and democracy wont let the lunitic fringe rule. Take you lies and move to alabama or arizona and leave the true patriots to make Maryland a great place to live!

Spoken like a true idiot! You are hopeless and lack any kind of logic. Check your facts before spouting off your uneducated tongue. The only amendment that says "shall not be infringed"! Okay Einstein why does that one amendment say that? Look up the history if you know how. You are as stupid and moronic as the liberal lunatics running this state. It's obvious you depend on welfare and the reason this state votes democrat because almost all the welfare recipients are democrat. They don't believe they can take care of themselves because that's what the politicians want and need to keep their voting base. Obviously based on your spelling and grammar you are poorly educated and that's probably why you can't think for yourself. I am not moving anywhere you go back to your Baltimore City row home where you slithered from beneath the stoop! There's a pro gun rally tomorrow in Aberdeen hope to see you there!

Wow - such anger! It's sad that the comment section is so often used to spew insults at each other. It fascinates me that "proud Marylanders" can so easily degrade others who happen to live in a particular city or county. It's so sad that people categorize others that way and attack so savagely.

I might have voted as they did until I came to realize the pain inflicted on families of victims. The repeated appeals and delay tactics play and replay the awful event. When it's life without parole it's done. Society doesn't have to keep paying lawyers to drag it out. AW

So once again we the working people have to not only support most of the lazy people in Maryland now we have to support the murderers & rapists as well. Tammy I agree with you all the way. Just for the record I was born and raised in Harford county Md. (52 years). I can’t wait to move when I retire. Over the years I have seen the increase in crime and low housing. I think if you kill or rape someone and without a shadow of a doubt found guilty of such crime then they should receive the death penalty and swiftly – I think within two months of being convicted. If that doesn’t work for those against the death penalty, then after they are convicted they should move into your home with your family and you can support them without any aide from the state – then let’s see if you change your tune.

After 43 years as a paramedic, just having retired from Balto.City FD. and having been a cop in Harford Co. I can tell you, I have looked into the eyes of pure evil. There are times when we should remove a person from society with extreme prejudice. Most people don't even know what the prerequisites to meet before the state can even ask for the death penalty. The majority of killers wouldn't even meet the eligibility for the death penalty but we shouldn't discard it as a potential tool to use if warranted. Why does the state allow the killing of the unborn, and now death panels to kill granny while they lament killing these sociopathic, amoral murderers and on what grounds. moral, ethical? Why should we support these POSs with our taxes and then we hear idiots like McCarthy (above) whine because the law abiding citizens simply want to excircise their God given constitutional right to protect ourselves when the state will not? I wish all liberal democrat imbeciles would go to hell. All they do is enable the scum of society.
