so, ed243421, chadwick, and anyone else who is pro-DP, please answer this:

Do you think the DP has been a successful punishment system in America? Why?
And are you aware of the wrongfully accused? Do you still think it is a successful practice if an innocent man/woman has ever been executed by the government?

Thanks.

all we want executed are the monsters caught red-handed with no chance of error
the easy ones
those are the ones that should not waste a dollar or minute of anyone's money or time
their right to a fair trial should not take more than the 10 seconds it would take a judge to say "GUILTY"
any cases with any doubt, do what you want

about ten years back in my town
a guy walks into his former workplace
shotguns, pistols, ammo
kills like 6
wounds others
one of the dead is a mother, first day back from maternity leave
this guy walks to the front door to wait for the police
once they see a video survailence of him doing it
or put his prints on a gun
he should be tried and executed
less than a minute

right now,
he's waiting for lunch
i wonder if his cell has air conditioning
it's like a 100 degrees here in massachusetts today

very well said.
like you stated, it only takes 10 seconds.
the guy should be breathing his own bone dust in some thin cedar box.

I don't know much about each 'thing' on this list, but I know all of them took their final breath because of the state:
Carlos DeLuna Texas Conviction: 1983, Executed: 1989
Ruben Cantu Texas Convicted: 1985, Executed: 1993
Larry Griffin Missouri Conviction: 1981, Executed: 1995
Joseph O'Dell Virginia Conviction: 1986, Executed: 1997
David Spence Texas Conviction: 1984, Executed: 1997
Leo Jones Florida Convicted: 1981, Executed: 1998
Gary Graham Texas Convicted: 1981, Executed: 2000
Cameron Willingham Texas Convicted: 1992, Executed: 2004

Know what else? There is controversy surround each of them as to whether or not they were actually guilty.

im talking about being caught red-handed, straight up guilty without a doubt.
Andrei Chikatilo, Gary Ridgway, ect, ect.
they are monsters... they are not human... .357 magnum hollow point round to the skull.
it is without a doubt a fantastic moment in time.
that's how the Soviets stopped Andrei.

again... they are not human beings.
they may look like it, but in fact, they are not nowhere near human.

what about Joe Duncan?
@ age 15 he raped a 9 year old at gun point.
by age 16 he claims to have raped 13 younger boys.
he's killed an entire family with a hammer and abducted the little girl and little boy from said family and molested them for 6 weeks.
finally he was caught at Denny's by a waitress who recognised the little girl.

he was sentenced to death.

he had been in prison several times before this, been in trouble his entire life.
he is a monster.

keeping him alive is insane.
i truly hope he has been sent to hell by now.

chadwick, you can list many completely guilty people who you deem in line for death, and you could find an equal number of people on death row who the evidence is murky or there's not 100% guarantee about guilt. so simply saying one portion in the manner you are, doesn't equate to the entire picture. You can't make policy and base it on the most extreme, outlandish scenario and apply it to all... it's not sound, just or right.

does joseph duncan deserve to be executed, today?

To you yes, to me no. I don't think it serves any purpose. Put him in jail to rot the rest of his life with no parole and interaction with others.

if executing him serves no purpose

then what is the purpose of jailing him for life

FiveB247x

Break the law and lose your freedoms - ie which is the purpose, intent and moral lesson to dictate to society. Killing a person doesn't serve any purpose other than convenience and vengeance. If the death penalty isn't a deterrent to killing, why practice it?

the death penalty IS a deterrent to killing

the murderer who gets executed would never kill again

FiveB247x

Very narrow thinking. Laws don't apply solely to punish the guilty, but mostly to deter society as a whole to engage in that behavior.

so which is a better way to deter society as a whole from engaging in that behavior?

to rid society of a monster who would rape and kill children?

or to house, feed, educate and rehabilitate him?

FiveB247x

To deter society as a whole from engaging in that behavior by removing a "monster" and playing them in jail for life. Rehabilitation may not always be viable due to circumstances on the person and crime.

Generally speaking, I would say that education has cured more of the world's ills than violence ever has.

it can also be argued that lack of education can lead to increased violence. the less sophisticated a society is the more violent it is.

Good point.
