all right...i have one conserning raw human nature...(parental guidence please)
not too long ago i watched a show on tv..a documentary about executions of prisioners.

this man called..gray..was arrested for the killing of his 16 year old girlfirend,he was in his late 20's...he was brought to justice and jailed.

but soon after he had escaped and was arrested again..for the rape and murder of a three year old girl,he was going to be executed for this horrible crime..i am a firm believer that some people are too evil to be kept alive..

durring the process of being electricuted..leaving his body charred and burned,the doctores proclaimed that he was still alive..the governer was called..and he said to proceed with the execution...once more he was elecrified..and once more he was still found to be alive...as incredible as this may sound..the witnesses to this execution was ..including the parents of the child,wanted the the execution to be stopped...but it continued one last time..this time he died..

what i would like to know is if you were the parents of this child,,would you decide that he has suffered enough?...or for the execution to go on.......

it was unnerving to me how even he caould have had advocates..

A vengeful heart is not a good heart, no matter how you look at it. If my child had been murdered there would be no way in hell I would want the murderer to be murdered in the name of my child. Regardless to christianities love for blood letting with their doctrines. I will never be an advocate of the death penalty.

He would have suffered more being alive..
I'd have stopped after the second attempt...

I am not saying that he doesn't deserve to be punished, but my thinking is this.....


Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

The title of your post includes the word MONSTER....That's what he was: a Monster. Did he deserve to be punished? NO DOUBT! Did he deserve to suffer, if indeed he did....No, his suffering didn't bring back the little girl that he killed nor his girlfriend......Did he deserve to be executed? I personally believe so, any human being Man or Woman that willingly takes the life of an innocent child has no place on this Earth........

I am against the death penalty. BUT, now that I'm pregnant, if someone was to rape and kill my baby girl, I would want them to die, and to suffer.

all were indeed very fine answers...some used vengence and some used heart..my opinion would be towards the side of vengence as well...i could never be an advocate for such evil myself..but i still willnever forget the words of the childs own parents..

thanks for the responses people

Yeah, I actually find it very interesting that the parents themselves asked for it to stop. I don't know if I would want it to stop. Guess we'll never really know how we would react unless it's our own child.

very good...i mean we can imagine what it must have been like in that execution room,and what the witnesses saw..but the child must have suffered terribly herself before she died...many guards were hoping that he would be placed in population..not segragation..in this case it was not merely death for a death..but suffering for a suffering before death..

you have a great point miss sudecia..unless it is our own child...

thank you

I remember reading something somewhere, where a similar situation happened. I dont remember the actual crime, but snetencing was electrocution.

The person was hooked up, and electrocuted but still lived. It ws ordered that he was to be electrocuted again, but someone along the line (like the judge or governor, I cant remember now) ordered it not to happen a second time under the guidelines that he had served his punishment already. He was ordered to be electrocuted, and he was electrocuted. For whatever reason, he did not die. It was decided that he could not be legally electrocuted (or punished) for the same crime twice. just like you can not be tried for the same offense once found innocent.

Interesing. I'm thinking if the order was for electrocution until dead or death by electrocution; technically, they would have to keep going until the person's dead or get a stay of execution. If they do get a stay of execution, then what do they do with what's left?

I appreciate your compassion for the victim. Being 'fried' once probably burned up all his nerve endings thus incapacitating him. SO reviving him would have been a cruel way to spend the rest of his life. It may sound cruel but the continuance of 'frying' him was probably more dignified than letting him live.
But consider the 40 million babies aborted since Woe v. Wade was made law. These are innocent victims of mere inconvience and your tax dollars pay for the majority of them.

Tomie, I think you mean Roe vs Wade.

I'm disgustingly on the fence with the death sentence. But, if push came to shove, I believe I'd have to jump onto the approval side. I just can't seem to come up with a better solution of what to do with someone that cannot be reprogrammed. Find a way to successfully reprogram that mindset, I'll gladly applaud and support it.
