Now, I will most likely get beaten up for this statement but, I believe in the death penalty. Although it may not be any different than any other rape and murder of a child, it is still the rape and murder of a child. I belive that anyone who does such a henious crime should be put to death. That person, do not deserve to live; especially live in relative comfort on my tax dollar.

Yeah well, does kinda sound like some sort of God complex deciding who deserves to live and who doesnt'.

Still if it's a Masshole, I guess I could go along with it...(one less snotty tourist up here clogging up our highways)

As opposed to who deserves to suffer the rest of their lives?

Do you mean the murderer suffering in prison, the victim suffering death or perhaps maiming, or the victims family who are suffering from the loss of their beloved child?

Unless its the first instant, how is killing the convicted going to change any of that.

..and if you want to impose the death sentance on anyone who has inflicted lifetime suffering on others; well we gonna zapping lots of people.

I say dump 'em all on an island with a water bottle and a box of matches. That'd make for some awesome reality tv. We could vote on when they'll start eating each other. People could actually make money off of it instead of spending millions feeding them.

Just the first instance. Although zapping lots of people sounds like fun.

Could we maybe have an amendment that makes a minor exception to the "Cruel and unusual punishment" in regards to child killing/raping/molestering?

The killing/raping/whatever of a child isn't any worse than the killing/raping/whatever of an adult. I'm sure it seems worse if you have children because you identify everything in the world that happens to any other child with danger to your own, but honestly, dead is dead, murder is murder. Making murdering a child "worse" than murdering a 50 year old devalues the life of the 50 year old.

This ethical scale doesn't go to 11, get over it.

Ironically, we have no death penalty, but our ethical scale goes to "By Jove, It's an outrage!"

I suspect we'll go decimal soon

I heard being convicted of a nerve gas attack means no clotted cream for three weeks. True?

European Human Rights legislation means that punishment must conform to Euro standards.

Nerve Gas attacks = 20 minutes community service in a Belgian Call Centre

How about the stigma associated with killing a cop? That's always got people (other cops, mostly) up in arms. But it's an occupational hazard, of course, so there should be *less* furor over it.

Anybody who insists that a murderer get the death sentence as his punishment, is a total hypocrite.
" Hey, hey. This guy killed a man, thats so immoral and wrong! Lets kill him!"

I understand that this person committed an unforgivable crime, and even he realizes that as hes saying “Just kill me, just kill me. It’s over, it’s over,”. Hes going to plead guilty and be in jail for the rest of his life.

Would you rather not have the person suffer for the rest of their life because of lethal injection or whatever they have, or have him rot away in a jail cell for how ever long his body decides to keep him alive.



The death penalty is not about revenge or forgiveness.

The death penalty is making sure those of us who respect the rights of others are permanently separated from those of us who don't.

Failure to execute the death penalty costs more lives than executing it.

Death penalty is what he wants, he asks to die, why give this sick ******* what he wants?

2 feet by 2 feet jailcell, no light, 2 meals a day, a good hose once a week. Playing with his own sh*t before it goes dry will be highlight of his day for the next 50 or so years.

Now thats a penalty.

Ever heard the story of the Fox and the Rabbit and the briar patch?

Letting people like this live is only a penalty (and burden) to the rest of us.
