Murder is murder whether it is carried out by an individual or the state... This individual was given the right to choose his manner of death, I'm still waiting for someone to come and complain about that. He got to pick how he would die... Did he give his VICTIMS the same 'right' ... ? I think not ... Why should HE get to choose how he dies ... ? He forfeited whatever 'rights' he had when he killed his victims. I rest my case

I abhor the fact that the state can take another person's life in my name...for 'the people', of which I am one. There are many reasons for why I feel this way, but if the murder of another is to continue, then the policy should be one of public execution. Not this sanitized murder, witnessed by only a handful. Do it in the town square, as it used to be done. Let other criminals and murderers see the potential consequences of their actions (there is your deterrent, eh?), but 'the people' should be forced to see the consequences of their actions, as well.
If this were the case, would we find fewer people being 'punished' in this manner? (Sorry, I was reminded of the "Kill him. It'll teach him a lesson." thing on T.V. years ago...*shudder*). Would people perhaps demand positive DNA evidence before they were willing to take another's life? Would 'the majority' finally demand that the death penalty be abolished, if these executions were made public with all of us expected to bear witness to the consequences of our decisions? Would the "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" theory start making more sense to more of us? I wonder, but certainly don't know...but if we are to accept this as the law of the land, then let us fully accept it. |

I dont know that people lusted for blood any less when hangings were public afternoon gatherings for the family, if anything, it probably made people LESS sensitive |

i firmly believe in the death penalty... what i don't believe in is the way they go about it. NO one should be on death row for so long, and all rights should be taken away from them. If he(the person on death row) feels he can take the rights away from others, then he should no rights either... that man he killed had a right to live, as his children had a right to grow up with a father. he took so many basic rights away from a lot of people when he shot the man, so he should have been executed a week later, not 10 years later... it's also our right not to have to pay for his living expenses for the last 10-15 years while he was on death row. just my thoughts, sorry if you don't agree with them. |
