I sure as hope so... #NotMyMarineCorps View Quote No shit bro. Also, don't think of it as "cold blooded." They were tried, convicted and sentenced via due process. Think of it as "revenge." Professional Vengance, Inc. We fry the bad guy. Since the family can't extract vengance, the professionals or volunteers do them a solid and send those rabid, sub human scumbags to an eternal Hell. ZFG. |

I am for the death penalty in principle but against it in practice. Here's why:
Documented cases of innocent people being executed. Executions cost more than keeping somebody in prison for life. The death sentence not being applied equally across all demographics. I think life in prison without parol is a harsher sentence then death. Flame away. |

I'd like for you to back this statement up. Because View Quote http://www.nbcnews.com/id/29552692/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/execute-or-not-question-cost/ It has to do with the costs of a death penalty trial and subsequent appeals. Any more questions? |

Reading books, taking advantage of prison amenities like cable TV, canteen services, etc, prison programs, plus of course, the ability to keep on killing inside of prison (staff members, correctional officers, medical staff, other prisoners, etc.), the possibility of escape from prison and while escaped, killing and raping/robbing, etc. Fuck that. |

A half decent vet kills what, maybe 5 animals a week? Cute fuzzy ones whose owners are just to poor/cheap/indifferent to fix them in many cases.
I bet we can find plenty of volunteers to do this. Hell, you probably wouldn't even have to pay much for it. |

Trying to make it about something other than justice being served. The C/O's likely don't give a shit and want those fuckers gone as bad as we do. God knows what they have to go through and put up with from those predatory assholes. So; we should stop locking up people or punishing people at all, I guess, right? Because anti-death penalty people say that life imprisonment is far worse than being executed. So you're down for something by your own argument is crueler than death? Executions cost that much because we ALLOW it to cost that much. You think death by old age is harsher than being executed? Dude...on what planet do you reside?

View Quote It is a fact executions cost the taxpayers more money than a life in prison sentence. It is a fact innocent men have been executed. It's not my fault, it's just reality. |

Quoted:
With the cost of housing criminals, paying for all their appeals, and health care, the death penalty does not really save money. In most cases I do not believe that the possibility of the death sentence, rather than life in prison deters crime. If 1 out of 1000 death sentences kills an innocent man because of some screw up, that is too many. Even with all the above in mind, I still believe that society has the right to exact retribution. A death sentence is not about saving money, deterring crime, or protecting the public, it is simply retribution. View Quote Damn right it's about retribution! |

Don Davis: Executed a helpless 62 year old woman in a home invasion with a .44 mag to the head. Stacey Johnson: Raped, beat, strangled, and cut the throat of a lady while her 6 year old and 2 year old were home. Jack Jones: Killed a 32 year old Lady in Florida. Went to Arkansas, where he strangled an 11 year old girl, then anally raped and murdered her mother. Ledell Lee: Raped multiple women. Kidnapped and raped a 22 year old woman while her 3 year old watched, then murdered her and stuffed her into a closet. Murdered multiple other women. Jason McGehee: Kidnapped a young man, then beat, cut, burned, and tortured before strangling to death. Bruce Ward: Strangled 18 year old female store clerk to death Kenneth Williams: Kidnapped and assaulted cheerleader and her date. Killed the girl. Escaped from prison and killed 3 more people. Marcel Williams: Kidnapped a woman at a gas station on her way to work, raped and murdered her. All of these people are fucking sick, and deserve to die. Anyone who can tell me with a straight face that I should feel bad about these assholes getting executed, let me know so I can put you on ignore please. View Quote |

Quoted:
I wish it was as simple as getting a guilty verdict and then walking them outside to be shot. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that death penalty cases are very expensive, and then there are decades of appeals. At the end of the day, it is cheaper to just lock them in a cell and throw away the key. View Quote The anti-death penalty crowd also intentionally drags shit out as much as they can for a few reasons. First, they hope they get over ruled by a reasonable judge on an unreasonable motion/argument they make and they get an anti-death penalty judge on appeal. Secondly, they want to make the process as drawn out as possible to inflict pain on the prosecutors so maybe they will be less likely to go for the death penalty. Finally, it drives up costs so they can tell the jury it is cheaper to keep him alive and give them an out. |

Old person sentenced to death....yes more expensive. 20 year old sentenced to death....way cheaper than life in prison. What age that becomes the tipping point depends on incarceration costs which will vary by state.
I googled it. Most of the links are organizations who are opposed to the death penalty. |

I remember back in the day NY had a conga line going to the electric chair and sometime around the 60's it stopped. I was learning to read the newspaper and Sing Sing had an execution it seemed like every other day. I even went to the library to get info on the electric chair

Everyone seems to be missing the point...as always.
For or against the death penalty, there's some good evidence about the mental health toll taken upon the staff who are involved. That's not something to be taken lightly. Words are cheap on the internet...actually being there and doing it is a different thing. |
