The biggest crock of shit I ever heard was when people who are opposed to the death penalty say that it's "cruel and inhumane". Do you think a murderer who stabbed someone 75 times gave a shit about the victim? No, they didn't. Why should we, as a society, care about the humanity of the condemned when that person didn't care for the humanity of the victim? I personally don't give a damn about a condemned person's civil rights. To me, all murder convictions should require the death penalty as punishment. I believe that lethal injection is too easy on the condemned. Their victims suffered a great deal, so I say reciprocate the favor. Bring back the electric chair, gas chamber, and hangings. Televise them, make the executions public and sell tickets. When someone watches a person put to death, I believe it is a great deterrence for future capital crimes. I'm not saying it will completely eliminate capital crimes, but I think it may save innocent lives down the road. Plus, it saves the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars by executing them instead of supporting them for the rest of their lives in prison.
I say God bless Texas for using the death penalty as much as they do. The Texas state motto is, "If you kill someone here, we will kill you back!" The states that do have the death penalty don't use them enough, yet Texas has put in an express lane! The nation needs to stop worrying about being politically correct and pussying out to conform to every civil rights group and start setting a hard line that has severe consequences when crossed.
When you consider the number of exoneration's,and wrongful prosecutions,your certainty seems arrogant and has little to do with justice.
I think that most pro-death penalty types, could care less about justice.They just want to see blood.
Most of them are certain that the government can`t do a single thing right.But they`re damm sure that government can sort out the facts and find the guilty person(s),enough to kill someone over it.
Why is that?
You're damn right I want to see blood! I believe in firm retribution for the victims. Why the hell should my tax dollars be used to help support the scum of society for the rest of their lives when the victims didn't get to see the rest of theirs? How about we just spank their naughty bottoms with a ruler, shake our finger at them, and say, "Shame on you."? Yeah, that'll really do the victims and their families justice.
The government is far from perfect and I'm sure there are some innocent people that were executed. There needs to be a major change to the way captial punishment is handled, but for the ones who are guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt, I believe in the death penalty for murder. No questions asked. Let the punishment fit the crime. I also believe the death penalty should be used in cases of treason and terrorism.
So you love Texas so much.Bush put 150 people to death there.
Care to take a guess, on how many of those 150, weren`t guilty,considering the brain-trust that is george bush and the "honesty", of his legal council, Al Gonzales?

"On the morning of May 6, 1997, Governor George W. Bush signed his name to a confidential three-page memorandum from his legal counsel, Alberto R. Gonzales, and placed a bold black check mark next to a single word: DENY. It was the twenty-ninth time a death-row inmate's plea for clemency had been denied in the twenty-eight months since Bush had been sworn in. In this case Bush's signature led, shortly after 6:00 P.M. on the very same day, to the execution of Terry Washington, a mentally retarded thirty-three-year-old man with the communication skills of a seven-year-old.
Washington's death was barely noted by the media, and the governor's office issued no statement about it. But the execution and the three-page memo that sealed Washington's fate—along with dozens of similar memoranda prepared for Bush—speak volumes about the way the clemency process was approached both by Bush and by Gonzales, the man most often mentioned as the President's choice for the next available seat on the Supreme Court".

That was written before we all found out how amazingly dishonest Gonzalez is.
Is this the quality of justice you want?
Kill`m all and let god sort them out?
