Death Penalty

[Mr. Daystar]

That is one of the issues. Instead of spending the money and time on forensic testing like you mentioned, spend it looking for legal loopholes and keeping them in prison. I have no problem with the death penalty just be sure it's the correct person. There was a man in Florida in the mid eighties who even the prosecutor wasn't sure it was the right guy because another person was later convicted of a similar crime and fit the same decription. But because he used up his appeals and the Governor at the time would not give him a stay, he was executed.

That's unacceptable, and a major problem in this country. To many prosecutors, and judges are so worried that their reputation will be tarnished by the possibility that they made a mistake, or their out rite arrogance refuses to allow them to admit they convicted the wrong guy, so they vehemently argue AGAINST any additional tests, to insure the right guy is being executed. I've read about it to many times. It usually involves older cases, and it's my opinion that EVERY old case that involves an execution, should be automatically granted any additional testing that becomes available, or brought to light since the conviction. I also wonder if some of the people sentenced to death, should be locked up for ever, and some of the ones serving time, shouldn't be executed.. If you commit an armed robbery, and shoot the store workers, yeah, it's violent, and brutal, but serving the rest of your life in a prison, is worse then death. If you rape a child, in my opinion, you've committed a far worse crime, even if they lived, THEY will live with the fear you exist....somewhere. They deserve the peace of mind that their attacker is executed.

Also Revidffum there are the cost of lawyers and the workload/experience of public defenders, in my opinion is the reason you see the poor/middle class(no matter race)with capital sentences than rich. I think if OJ, Casey, and a few others were the average person, the outcome would have been different. If there is a situation such as the Arizona shooting or the shooting at the Halocaust Museum, where the crime is committed and the person is caught at the scene, do what you will. After checking for mental competentcy, express line to death row. Otherwise, let's do everything possible to make sure this is the right person. You can let a person go free if they are innocent, once you kill them...

Keep it. I find this whole "human life is sacred" sentiment to be a complete joke. It isn't and obviously the man being executed didn't think that way either. It should only be used in certain cases, for sure - I would say murder, treason and an option for rape - but anyone who claims the death penalty should be abolished and we should all help pay for a human with absolutely no morality to live, have shelter and have guaranteed meals for the rest of his life (or in Canada, twenty years until we decide a murderer has suffered enoguh and let them go) is someone I cannot agree with.

I am against the death penalty. The law and executioners shouldn't have the right to take a life regardless of the persons crimes. Death penalty is just as bad as slavery was in the States. Abolish it.

You cannot even compare the two. They are two entirely different institutions, but my thinking tells me when you are comparing you are comparing a disproportionate amount of black Americans are executed and that it's racially biased. Still if that is your thinking you are way off to compare it to something like slavery.

"you're going to get it in the ass" ???

Hell I'VE gotten it in the ass, it ain't THAT bad. Sure it may be unpleasant, and sure, as a man your ego and masculinity gets challenged when another dude is stuffing his sausage up your casing, but in comparison to what the victims of these criminals undoubtedly had to go through in their time of death...getting a lovenoodle up the pooper pales in comparison. You do the crime, you deserve ass raping. Innocent people do not. Prison IS far too cushy for criminals, even with the buttrape.

Take more murderous scum and shoot them in the head on the courthouse steps. Leave the corpse to rot in the sun. Expand this punishment to include child rapists and anyone who commits a major violent felony while already in prison. You can reform all the drug addicts and petty criminals you want but leave room in the jails for them by getting rid of the true scum. Don't mind helping someone who just makes a mistake but if you prove yourself to be unworthy of our help then you should be erased entirely.

Just for drugs.

The Chinese aren't known for caring about human rights or freedom.
