Agree with Wild...
I just cannot stomach paying for three squares, a roof, a bed...better living conditions than some of our low income families. Whom should we take care of? I vote for the familiessmokin

lol.....not the billions and billions we are spending now, and getting anything for it but more crime and pain, as each that roll thru the doors of blind justice....how much money does one need to fly a craft over and make a drop of seeds and rakes, lol....and just how many would want to go to badass island, as all badass's are really pansies and cowards at heart, and just the most fearful of us all.....hum.....nothing would ever touch a child again if it knew it would be fed to an island where there was no protection from other badass's....thats half the reason many **** up just to get to go to solitary where they are safe and wont get shanked, and they all feed on the NOs from the gaurds anyhow, just as a child will feed negatively on NO's.....we created all by teaching what has been taught in society and shown in society....pump out ****ing movies that the sub-conscious mind has memorized, than tell all to say anything bad is hate, the hate cannot be expelled it will explode....

we haven't had death penalty since 1960s few wrong ones were executed so they did away with it.no EU countries have it.u cannot join European union if u have death penalty in your country.but if I was to say something if it 100 percent proven then yeh eye for an eye but if doubt no.

What are your thoughts on State execution?


I read an article last night about the amount of executions done State by State since 1976...The amount of executions to actual murder's is very low....

I feel if you intenionally take someone's life, you deserve to be executed, and the honest taypayer's of this country shouldnt have to pay for someone on death row for 20-40 years...





The Death Penalty was abolished in most of the UK in 1965 and all of the UK by 1973.

It is a relic of medieval times and I believe it should be abolished world wide.

Not only is it barbaric to put someone to death, but the innocent family of the condemned suffer far more, mothers loosing sons, young children loosing parents. The alternative should be imprisonment for the rest of their natural life, when at least their family can visit them and not suffer the pains of bereavement.

I agree with the death penalty, but they must be 100 percent sure they got the right person.

few questions mingle peeps

1/ is the death penalty still happening, if so, where? I thought there were still parts of texas that did, but I could be wrong.

2/ does anyone know what the lethal injection consists of?

I cant remember fully, but I thought it was a combination of three drugs, potassium to stop the heart, a general anesthetic, but I cant remember the third, and I could be wrong about the first 2.

3/I have heard horror stories where the injection went wrong and some people died in sheer agony. is this true?

thanks in advance if someone answers the questions I asked.flowerforyou

My state has the death penalty; it was challenged and had to be rewritten due to the wording! Amazing how a group of legal humans got that wrong. At one time the prisoner had a choice: HANGING - FIRING SQUAD - LETHAL INJECTION - GAS CHAMBER - Electrocution. Then budgets & funding got tight so it was down to 2 options...and the prisoner would be relocated according to the prison that has that process: either electrocuted or lethal injection...one place still had a gas chamber but the gas wasn't available anymore!

Yes, the 3 combination lethal injection was the standard process; but then the manufacturing (big pharma) stopped making one of the 3...and they are trying a NEW COMBNATION.

Yes, there was a couple of problems with the most recent death row humans...the last one in Oklahoma took over 30 minutes for his heart to finally STOP!

IMHO...we need the death penalty for: terrorist - serial killers - child rapist - repeat child molesters!

Stoning them to death or setting them on fire works really well, too.

I agree we need the death penalty back.

Found this on Wikipedia >>>
In the United States, capital punishment—also called the death penalty—is a legal sentence in 31 states[1] and the federal civilian and military legal systems. Its application is limited by the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution to aggravated murders committed by mentally competent adults.

Capital punishment was a penalty for many felonies under English common law, and it was enforced in all of the American colonies prior to the Declaration of Independence. The methods of execution and the crimes subject to the death penalty vary by state and have changed over time. The most common method since 1976 has been lethal injection. Since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976, thirty-four states have performed executions.

In 2013, 39 inmates were executed in the United States,[2] and 3,088 were on death row.[3] Many states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, and Arizona, regularly execute convicted murderers. Texas has performed the most executions by far, and Oklahoma has had (through mid-2011) the highest per capita execution rate.[4] In contrast, Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine abolished the death penalty in the 19th century


And here's an excellent link for current data on:
State and process for the termination of LIFE >>>

And I read where my state is now just down to 'Lethal Injection' but there are a couple of other states that have 'HANGING & FIRING SQUAD' still listed as options.

Wellllll...that's been something that we never implemented here; and yet you make perfect sense! Victim families could have the first round of 'ROCK THROWING' and when they wore out the subsequent 2nd round of other 'Victim Project' could step up if they wanted to. VERY - VERY THERAEPUDIC...IMHO

Frankly I'd be more liking a front loader; while the 'criminal stood in his grave' and we just dumped the bucket load of 4" sized rock down upon them!

Yes, we've had concealed carry licenses available for quite some time. Just recently passed an open carry law that will allow a CHL holder to carry openly if they so choose. There are very few laws, however, regarding long guns. You can walk down the street carrying a rifle or shotgun as long as you don't "brandish it in a threatening manner."

I agree with the death penalty... But I also have to tell you this... My commercial fishing partner that I have known all my life his brother was put down in Huntsville Texas 10 years ago.... And of course we were childhood friends... Sad day but he had it coming..... His girlfriend at the time was 15 years older than him and she wanted to rob a drug dealer so being a stupid kid he was in on it and when the guy tried to draw down he shot him with a 12 gage slug Ito his chest.... End of story.... I'm old school and have been many places in this world... But drugs are the scourge of the devil..
