no matter if crime is so evil are you against the death penalty no matter what? are you for the death penalty with reservations ?

Russtafa....been otherwise occupied for several days, so I missed this.

I'm moderated my position on this for pragmatic reasons....not that the most vile among us shouldn't be extinguished. When they prove they have surrendered their right to walk among us...they should receive the Osama treatment. In fact, I would gladly be the hang man in certain situations, and never give it a second thought. But the reality is this....feckless politicians in almost every state with a death penalty law refuse to enforce the laws their predecessors have passed. Similar to the immigration situation. So if it's going to be applied randomly, or not at all.........why bother? Secondly, prosecutors routinely over reach in it's application. Witness Casey Anthony. Every rational thinker knew that no jury was going to put her to death. We should not burden our fellow citizens (jurors) with life and death decisions...that should be reserved for trained soldiers, trained police, and for judges.

Additionally, it takes almost 15 years from the day of the verdict to exact the final punishment. Appeal after endless appeal...and all have to be answered by the State ( the tax payer). If only anti death penalty zealots put as much effort into supplying poor and working folks with legal representation as they do the army of scum bags convicted of heinous crimes.

In the end, it's simply not worth the time, effort, money and misery needed to execute a killer. I say throw them in with the other murderers and let them sort it out.....Jeffery Dohmer style !

If Charlie Masion is still allowed to breath air and not dirt.........why should anyone be executed ? In fact...I've got a better idea to resolve both the southern border problem, and the death penalty question. I'm sure there's several thousand death row inmates rotting away in 5' cells. Round them up.....bus them to Nogolos Arizona in August, and get them start digging by hand for the foundation to erect a new borderfence. They'll be allowed some crackers, and a cup or water per day. And the ones that don't make it?? Roll them right in the hole and make them part of the foundation. There ya go...2 birds with one stone. Next problem?

[russtafa]

Wow you don't muck around

[onmyknees]

Nope...when you've served notice on society, that you're unfit to live amoung us ( and murder would be an indication of that !) The chain gang on the Mexican border would be a good start at reperation..

[russtafa]

tough to the end .i like the idea that outlaws are outside of the law so they do not have that protection.these people that kill or hurt members of the public should be cast out of society never to re-enter society without food or cover or protection

[russtafa]

I think maybe our politicians are to gutless to flick the switch because they don't want blood on their hands like the cowards they are and that go's for right or left.i would happily flick the switch on any kiddy killer or granny basher and laugh about it .after thinking about this issue these people don't deserve oxygen

Emotionally, I'm often for it. But my emotions are invalid, ultimately. Intellectually, I'm against it. The justice system is far too flawed. Rotting in prison is good enough.

I'm for the Death Penalty as long as death is the penalty. Why is he still alive? Pretty much the worst of the worst.



In California, right is wrong and wrong is right. Here's a picture of The Night Stalker with his lovely bride.




Here's what he did over and over again.

Speaking of murder, what do you all think about the West Memphis Three taking a plea bargain? Personally, I think they did it. I don't give a crap what little pet causes people like Henry Rollins and Johnny Depp want to run with. The one kid confessed, and they were already found guilty. (I believe he actually confessed twice, if memory serves me correctly.) Damien Nichols was busted for torturing and killing a dog, and drinking it's blood, only months before the crime. He's a pretentious goth loser, who was very much into the left hand path magic. They caught him lying on the witness stand about being a Crowleyite. (Rollins and Depp are too, whether they'll talk about it or not.)
