I have thankfully never been asked to be on a jury for such a case. I hope I never am.

I think back to a famous case here in SC of Susan Smith. Shes the one that put her kids in their carseats and drove them into a local lake then went on national TV and said that they had been kidnapped.

That case was a capital case. She in the end didnt get the death penalty, but got some votes for it. The way I see it, if the animal is vicious, untrainable, and yes I see these people as animals, and there is ANY chance they could get out of wherever we have put them, then euthanizing in the only proper course of action.

With some of these people, there could be hostage taking, (like McVeigh) and stuff like that to get him out by those who believe like him. He HAD to GO. I wont be going to any fed building next year at the date of execution though.

Though decision. Good Luck with that paper. Remember if your in a liberal institution, you had better have a good arguement if you support the death penalty or expect a C-

 

Thank you for replying!!!!

 

"The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.
It violates the right to life.
It is irrevocable and can be inflicted on the innocent. It has never been shown to deter crime more effectively than other punishments."

I agree 100% with the death penalty.
People know right from wrong. Thier fate is in there own hands

The death penalty is too lenient. The way it's done there is no pain and suffering like what the victims of these dirt bags went through. Something a lot more painful would be in order. I don't give a rat's furry butt if it doesn't deter crime. I don't even give 2 rats' furry butts if it doesn't bring back the loved ones these animals killed. It would still give one small bit of comfort knowing that these creatures paid and maybe suffered some before the lights went out. And as a tax payer, I would be comforted to know that it no longer costs us nearly $100,00.00 per person per year to keep 'em in a life of near luxury.

 

Disagree absolutely

There have been so many examples where convictions have been found to be flawed at a later date.

I have trouble with this hypocrisy about claiming to be Christian and violating the fifth commandment

 

Some of us like myself are not hypocritical since I am not a Christian(Atheist).

 

What useful purpose would be served by keeping the following alive?

Timothy McViegh
Ted Bundy
Jeffery Dalhmer
John Gacy
Richard Speck

There are some people in this world that are so horrible that you just don't want them around. I am so down with the death sentence.
