Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Utah anake te kawanatanga e whakaae ana ki nga roopu pupuhi mo nga patunga i te wa i hainatia ai e te kawana he ture i te Mane e whakaae ana ki te tikanga i te wa kaore he rongoa werohanga whakamate e waatea ana, ahakoa i kiia e ia he 'iti whakamataku'. Ko Utah he kawanatanga whiu mate, me hiahia ki tetahi tikanga whakamate taapiri mena ka mau tonu te ngoikoretanga o nga raau taero, e kii ana te Kawana Republican a Gary Herbert. 'Kei te pouri matou ki te tangata e mahi ana i te hara nui o te patu tangata kia tika ai te whiu mate, a ka pai ake ki a matou te whakamahi i ta matou tikanga tuatahi o te werohanga whakamate ina tukuna ana taua whiu,' te kaikorero a te kawana. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko te ruuma whakamate i te whare herehere o Utah State i Draper, Utah i te Pipiri 2010. Ko Utah anake te kawanatanga e whakaae ana ki nga ruuma whakamate mo nga whakamate i te wa i hainatia ai e te Kawana a Gary Herbert tetahi ture i te Mane e whakaae ana ki te tikanga hei whakamahi i te wa kaore he tarukino werohanga mate. Heoi, ko te whakatinana i nga whiu mate he "te herenga o te peka whakahaere". I kite te tari o te kawana e whakaaetia ana e ētahi atu kawanatanga ētahi atu tikanga whakamate, ehara i te werohanga whakamate. I Washington, ka taea e ngā herehere te tono kia whakairihia. I New Hampshire, ko te whakawhiu te mea e whai ake ana ki te kore e taea te werohanga whakamate. Ko Ronnie Lee Gardner, i whakaahuatia i runga ake nei, ko ia te tangata whakamutunga i patua e te roopu pupuhi i te U.S. i muri i tana kowhiri i tenei tikanga o te whakamate. Ko Gardner, 49, i whakamatea i te Pipiri 18, 2010, i te 12.15am i te whare herehere o Utah State i Draper. I te tau 1984, i patua e Gardner a Melvyn John Otterstrom, i koperea ia ki te mata i te wa o te pahua i Salt Lake City ka waiho tana tinana kia kitea e tana wahine. I te Paenga-whāwhā 1985, i patua e ia te roia a Michael Burdell i te wā o tētahi amuamu a te kōti i a ia e ngana ana ki te mawhiti. I whakawhiwhia ia ki te herehere mo te kohuru tuatahi, a, i whakawakia ia kia mate mo te tuarua. Ko nga pirihimana i tuku noa mai hei pirihimana i te tira whakaoho. I utaina tētahi pū ki ngā pōro para kore, kia kore ai e mōhiotia ko wai i pupuhi i te pere whakamate. A, ka whakaaetia e tētahi ture o Oklahoma te kāwanatanga ki te whakamahi i ngā rōpū patu mēnā ka kīia ngā werohanga whakamate...
I kii te kawana Republican a Gary Herbert e hiahia ana a Utah ki tetahi tikanga whakamate taapiri mena ka mau tonu te ngoikoretanga o nga raau taero. E mea ana ngā hoariri o te tauwhāinga he rawakore ngā rōpū patu, ā, ka titiro te kāwanatanga ki muri, ki ngā rākau hoki.
