There are poeple who deserve it.

9/11?

Sadaam?
Had we caught hitler?
Manson?
Think of all the serial killers...
Child Killers...
Oaklahoma Bomber which thank god got what that motherfuger deserved, there were mangled children on the streets.


Saying 'absolute no' to death penalties is just not OK with me. These people don't deserve life, even in a little cell being tortured, not worht the space, resources or consideration. Plus, I'd rather give the survived victums a little peace, I'm sure it's easier to move on from an event when the source no longer exists.

Typical liberal jibberish.

Perfection cannot be acheived in anything in life.

Cannot touch abortion because someone, somewhere might have been raped. So, lets kill millions of unborn for convenience for the sake of not ever having to say that one person had to endure something less than perfection. None of the unborn can ever have a story written by the press, or showcased by libs for their own ends like the one in a million mistakes can.

So now, just turn your head for all the crimes that are slam dunks for people who should not be on death row over a month, much less 10 years, because a mistake was made.

Credible libs would want to fix what happened in the case above, not throw out the whole system.

Has nothing to do with being liberal. Has everything to do with being able to put myself in the position of an man being executed because a Governor willfully overlooks scientific evidence proving "expert" testimony used to convict the man was BS.

I don't like muderers any more than the next person. Death penalty laws have been revised repeatedly over the years and still innocent people are being executed. Figure out how to rewrite the laws so this doesn't happen and I'll reconsider my position.

Was addressing OP, not you, but agree that certain revisions need to take place, especially with the new technology we have today. At the same time, the waiting time for slam dunk cases should be shortened drastically.

well seeing as how the death penalty sucks as a deterrent and costs a poo ton and oh yeah involves state sanctioned murder i'm p sure "throwing out the whole system" would fuging fix what has happened, and what will continue to happen

mah bibble says a eye for a eye i like to ignore the part about turning the other cheek tho ^ pro-death christians

Sorry you don't know how to truly interrupt God's word, like I do.

[cantrell]

what, you fail to see the value in literally murdering innocent people for no apparent reason? typical liberal jibberish, right guys?

[CatofWar]

Murder is murder, regardless if the state is the one carrying it out.

no but see the state's premeditated revenge killing is totally different because uhhhh

seriously just lock them all away and attempt to rehabilitate them. it beats seeing even one innocent person put to death.

So should Jared Lee Loughner or Major Nidal Hasan NOT be put to death?

Two men who were seen by many people during their killing rampages. Two men who were abducted at the scene of their crimes. Two men who killed 19 people and wounded 43 more in their rampages. They deserve to live out their days in a cell?

fug that.

I'm sorry for the people who love them but those two bastards deserve to die.

The state carrying out homicide isn't going to make anything better. As someone mentioned earlier, often times death is the easy way out. Their life on earth is over and they now get the big prize.

Yes it is.

Its going to absolutely and irrevocably guarantee that neither of these men will ever take a free step again. That they will not slip through some loophole and find themselves amongst the citizenry where their diseased minds can cook up a reason to execute another 20 people.

No it wont bring anyone back and no it wont ease the pain of those who loved their victims.

But it IS justice.

[CatofWar]

So we should execute the mentally ill also?

[g5jamz]

So we should execute the mentally ill also?

Serial killers aren't mentally ill?

[Inimicus]

So we should execute the mentally ill also?

Only the ones who demonstrate the extreme psycho/sociopathic conditions that compel them to take the lives of other and do so in such a public way that it leaves no doubt but that they were the ones who committed the crime.


And if you mean should mental handicap be a defense against the death penalty...
I lean towards no but am open to discussion.

[pstall]

If there were no crimes or people killing innocents then we wouldn't be having this discussion now would we? As long as humans are in the equation with ANYTHING, expect caca.
