The Death Penalty: How bad is the European Union?

The Death Penalty: How bad is the European Union?
From:  Dudley Sharp, independent researcher, death penalty expert, former opponent, 832-439-2113, CV at bottom

As with all sanctions, the death penalty represents justice and it saves more innocent lives (2), therefore the lack thereof confounds justice and is a greater harm to innocents (3), as EU supports, making EU the greater human rights violator.

1) The EU's Hypocricy

a) Sarin Gas

The EU could hardly be more hypocritical on this issue, selling tons of materials to produce sarin gas for Syria to murder a huge number of innocents, just to make a profit (1). 

In the US, guilty murderers are executed within justice, making no profit, except that of justice and saving more innocent lives ((())), a huge profit, indeed.

b) The European Union's vile immigration system captures migrants arriving from Africa. then sends them to brutal detention centers run by Libya militias, with unknown numbers of innocents killed.
c)  Children commiting suicide

2) Valuing Guilty Murderers Over Innocent Patients

The state of Missouri had planned to use propofol for executions, which no one doubted would result in a quick, painless death. The European manufacturer stated that they would withhold that drug from the US if propofol were used in executions, thus denying its use, estimated at 50 million uses per year in the US (4).

Missouri Governor Nixon was much more concerned about those innocent patients and how their lives and suffering would be additionally threatened and increased, respectively, by the withholding of that drug, that he ordered the drug not be used, because he was certain that the drug manufacturer would increase the harm and suffering to all those innocent patients, by withholding that drug (4).

Drug manufacturers in Europe are so against the death penalty that they would, knowingly, put more innocent patients at risk, by withholding their drugs from the US, while benefitting US murderers. 

Favoring guity murderers over the innocent is a standard anti-death penalty malady (((()))).

"After Hospira announced its decision, the American Society of Anesthesiologists issued a strongly worded statement saying it was "extremely troubled" by Hospira's forced exit from the market and criticizing the anti-death-penalty movement for "using" thiopental supplies to make a point. The doctors noted the "unfortunate irony that many more lives will be lost or put in jeopardy as a result of not having the drug available for its legitimate medical use." (4)

The European Union is proud of this.

3)  The Ethics Time Gap

The drug companies were invisible and speechless, from 1977, when the lethal injection protocols were, publicly, adopted by Oklahoma, and from 1982, when they were first used for executions, in Texas, until 2009 - 32 years and 27 years later, respectively. 

Why did the moral outrage take 27-32 years to surface? 

Anti-death penalty folks didn't, publicly, criticize the drug companies (and their countries of origin), until 2009.  Of course, the drug companies and their countries of origin were well aware of the lethal injection use of drugs from 1977, but were not embarrassed, publicly, until 2009.

The response was all PR, not ethics. Obvious.

4) EU Rejects Hippocratic Oath

Would the EU ban such drugs for use in euthanasia and abortion, which are both banned by the Hippocratic Code, which the death penalty is not (5)?  

Of course not.

For the EU, as so many others, the Hippocratic Oath has become the Hypocrisy Oath.


5) The EU: Lack of Reason - Human Rights & The Death Penalty

The EU opposes the death penalty, allegedly because they find it a human rights violation, even though they have never shown it to be one . . . but they have tried.

The EU's lack of reason.

Fundamental human rights include the right to life, the right to freedom, the right to the fruits of our labors, meaning earnings and possession of property, and the right to pursue happiness.

Human rights tell us that all of those may be taken away, by the due process of law, when the social contract, the laws of our land, are violated, with all countries accepting a) incarceration taking away freedom; b) fines taking away currency or other property; c) with about half the countries retaining the death penalty, taking away life, with d) all countries, fortunately, taking away the happiness of criminals, from continuing their trade and e)  with some countries providing community service, whereby the sanction is both time and labor, taking both freedom and currency.

According to the reasoning of anti-death penalty human rights activists, all of those should be human rights violations, even though such activists, only, claim the death penalty to be, when all should be, given their reasoning.

Consistent activist reasoning finds the death penalty not a human rights violation.
6)  EU Population Supports The Death Penalty

The EU contradicts their own population, a majority which supported the execution of Iraqi dictator/mass murderer Saddam Hussein (7) and, very likely, a majority would support the death penalty for cases where children were raped, tortured and murdered, as well as cases of mass and serial murders (())))), with the EU supporting an anti-democratic position.

Majority does not make right, but all other points, herein, do make it right, as is that majority.

7) EU Valuing Guilty Murderers Over Innocent Victims

 "EU agencies contributed over $4.8 million in donations to U.S. anti-death-penalty organizations between 2009 and 2013" (((())))) and, if the same average annual contributions, $15 million through 2023, supporting US murderers instead of giving that money to innocent victims of crime, within Europe, another example death penalty opponents valuing the lives f guilty murderers over innocent rape and murder victims ((())).
NOTE: The US and the EU have never had a problem in extraditing criminals to the US, that face the death penalty, as the US simply waives seeking death in those cases, putting more innocents at risk ((())))), at the behest of the EU.
