    If good people can get killed on any given day... why should the assholes get a chance to live?

    How do you feel about the US being the only western country still using the death penalty? Doesn't it say something when every other modernised country is the world has banned it?

    because good people get framed by bad people every day....do you never know if someone is guilty....and its cheaper to keep them alive....

    ok, so some animal that goes around raping, torturing and killing 5 year old boys and girls should be kept alive because it is "cheaper?"

    i'd like you to explain that logic to the parents of such victims.

    Does killing the sickfuck really help the parents grieve any easier?

    the death penalty is useless and it doesn't solve anything.

    a life sentence without parole would be just fine. the sicko will rot the rest of his miserable life getting tortured by other inmates is more cruel than just killing him.

    although i think the prison condition should be as cruel as possible for rapists, pedos, and murderers. i.e. just strip them away of human contact and society, not even among prisoners. no view of the outside world.

    honestly? i think it does. those parents now have a certain piece of mind, and can go to bed every night knowing the asshole responsible for their heinous crime is no longer walking the earth.

    criminals like that, go to jail, adapt and accept their new lifestyle and live their life. watch cable TV and eat 3 warm meals a day.

    personally? i'd rather the fucker rot in the ground.

    My best friend's brother was murdered 3 summers ago. He was shot in the back with a crossbow in his sleep and then multiple times while running away and then hacked to death with a machete after he couldn't stand anymore by his "friend" after my friend's brother told him he should get off drugs because he had a baby coming.

    I know at least for my friend and his parents every Christmas and birthday that passes it hurts them more and more that their son/brother is no longer with them while his killer is living relatively comfortably in a cell, watches tv, goes to the gym and eats three meals a day while they pay part of the tab through their taxes.

    I'm sorry but because of that I'm pro death penalty and probably always will be.

    the cheaper was directed at the typical death penalty proponent that's concerned about they're tax dollars....I don't put a price on life....now the irony of wanting to kill a killer...thats just funny....

    Ok, you condescending ass, youve reeled me in. Ill "get" what? Your viewpoint? Because you look at things in a different way, you are somehow better than I am, or of a higher mind? When i get older and wiser ill see things your way?

    Please, enlighten me and raise me out of my heathen ways.

    I don't think that there is a right oor wrong answer when it comes to this issue. Everyone has good points. Trust me when I hear that some animal raped and butchered a poor child the first think that comes to mind is seeing that bastard strapped to the rack or put into an iron maiden, screw the lethal injection. Then I think is killing that beast going to bring that child back or ease the parents suffering, probably not. So much more of our tax dollars are spent trying to kill these criminals and then their is the probablity that an innocent person could be found guilty. Prison is no walk in the park as some people portray it to be. Yes they do get fed three meals a day and have other luxuries but they are confined to a living space with the worst that society has to offer. It is a fucking jungle in there make no mistake about it.

    The thing is, most of the democratic world would disagree and say that there is very clearly a right and wrong answer to this.
