i think they should be televised.... with public burning for child molesters and scientologists.

There are a lot of people who need executing.

Life in prison is a much worse punishment than a shore end.

HOWEVER, the American Injustice System (AIS) has not conducted a fair trial in several decades. Lies, fraud, emotions, and perjury are stock in trade of the AIS. Most "criminals" have been framed by falsified "evidence" and emotional falderal.

What we need is a moratorium on AIS criminal "trials" until some semblance of fair justice can be restored.

There are some criminals whose penchant for dastardly deeds exceeds any limits we could possibly imagine. For them, heinous replaces the commonplace. For the safety and peace of mind for the rest of us...capital punishment. There are those who habitually destroy most of everything they encounter, occasionally taking a life here or a life there... life imprisonment with no parole.

There are some who are members of organizations designed to defraud, extort and demean. Some jail time.. lotta community service. Illegal drug distribution: Bracelets, constant parole activity, community service on a grand scale. Everyone else, bracelets, community service and restitution. Everyone takes anti criminal classes. Until his or her sentence is complete. Each can choose a trade and receive training.

We need to implement this kind of treatment instead of constant incarceration where nobody does anybody any good.

It's hard to say how I feel about it. I think of capital punishment as an easy way out for the prisoner. But then again, I think of it as one less burden for society. If there could be some kind of compromise, like a slow tortuous death, then I would be satisfied.

In theroy, I am all for it.
But in practice, no. It is not executed fairly - the richer you are, the less likely you are to get the death penality or even be found guilty (can you say O.J.??). And the Judical system can never completely be assured that you are 100% executing the person who committed the murder. Too many people are being shown to be innocent years later after DNA testing. And if we execute ONE innocent person, it is one too many.
Yes, I believe an eye for any eye...and if we could find the best way to make sure it is done fair and exact...sure. But we can't.
Life without the possibility of parole. Throw away the key.

Reserved for the ones who murdered in the first degree.

Aside from that, I am against the death penalty.

Rating Received:

I have always been for it. But I do not think it should be sterile like it is. An eye for an eye, ESPECIALLY when the crime is against a child or some helpless person.

If they would use it more, crime would drop.

I'm for it.

I guess that makes me a terrible Christian (not that I've ever been all that good at it anyway).

None of them want to say it but I really don't have a problem with getting rid of cruel murderous poor excuses for human beings.

I'd sleep better at night knowing that he/she is gone from this earth never to do harm again than know that he/she still breaths.

Some people are just hopeless...it's a harsh fact.

It's wrong. It accomplishes nothing. It doesn't deter crime. We are the only civilized country that practices it, and we have far higher crime rates. It's based on the assumption that two wrongs make a right and it's flat out barbaric. It also puts FAR too much faith in the ability of the state to determine who commits crimes and who doesn't. The justice system is full of flaws and innocent people have been punished and put to death. I completely oppose the death penalty. I used to support it, but I grew out of it, just like wetting the bed.
