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..


Not if you know who to get em from..:thumbsup:

i strongly feel that the death penalty is wrong. i think that they should be punished yes, but there are other ways to go about doing it than murdering the murderer.


look at it this way... average cost per inmate: $31,307 a year... cost per bullet: .67 cents...

In principle, I believe that ANY INDIVIDUAL, ANY KILLER should be accorded those same human rights that were granted to his/her victims. As soon as an individual makes the decision to deprive another individual of LIFE & most especially those, sadistic, sick, depraved bottom-feeders who Kill For Kicks- should be stripped of all "human rights" if their guilt is obvious & demonstrated by a past history of destructive, harmful transgressions. There is a great need to punish such people, irregardless of race, color, social standing & most importantly-Economic Privilege.
The punishment should be in alignment to the offense. If an individual makes a decision to "Take Life" from another individual; than that individual should be required to "Give Back Life" in terms of perhaps, organ donation to those suffering, innocent individuals who sit, desperately waiting in their personal "Death Row" to receive a reprieve & a chance for life- in the form of a functional organ.
No-Don't Kill, Sick, Perverted Killers-Use Them, at least-recycle their healthy body parts for something of Good to have been salvaged from their pathetic existences.

Although the above paragraph describes my ethical beliefs; I cannot support The Death Penalty as a product of The current Justice System. The Death Penalty; It Doesn't Work- because The Justice System doesn't work.
It is increasing clear that there are 2 systems of Justice in play in The USA. There is a "Justice System" for the very wealthy [The Have's] & there is a separate Justice System for the rest of us [The Have Nots]. In essence, the death penalty is bias, unethical, & unjust. The cost is astronomical so again, innocent people are forced to pay directly & indirectly for a broken system to ineffectively administer a dubious verdict to only that segment of the population without the proper resources to avoid the Death Penalty verdict. When was the last time you remember- "A Wealthy Mover/Shaker/ Corporate CEO/High Profile Politician or Financial Adviser/Investor receiving The Death Sentence? How about anyone, even related to that wealthy segment of the population on Death Row? Sorry to say, I cannot endorse that kind of "Justice"....

To prevent all type of crimes and murders; all absolutely all mentally ill persons must be under strict control and psycho and medical treatment at special places or prisons. In that way;Gov can stop all kind of tragedies in society. Don't wait for murder; prevention is the instant action to do.

This would be valid worldwide.

why not just kill them then? i mean, under lock and key for life? i would rather be dead...

seems that only benefits the medical profession.... and who pays for this transition?


and who decides who is mentally ill? anyone could have anyone else evaluated, pay off the doctor and then someone is locked down for life in a mental ward... didn't work in the past, certainly won't work now...

not everyone who kills is mentally ill. ive heard stories where theres been no mental illness, and people just flipped when they found out their wife was cheating and just acted impulsively. just one of many examples.

that wouldn't be fair on the billions of mentally ill people who are harmless, and it would cost a fortune as well

op ... I have a few opinions on this ... believe it or not I used to say no death penalty ... forgive them ... not anymore ... laugh ...
and they just ruled on the death penalty for the states that have it and say that drug they where using is ok an proceed ... only suppose to relax them before the main drug that kills them anyway... I like the death penalty... if there is no chance of parole ... and would also depend on the crime ... before deciding ...

Perhaps someone could answer this question for me please ? If you have a death penalty and find someone guilty,why isn't it carried out swiftly ?
I can not think of any reason why it should take more than a week to carry it through,even sooner infact ! If an excuse is that it's incase new evidence is found,then you shouldn't have the death penalty in the first place and should not have found them guilty.So why are they kept waiting sometimes for many years ? The system sounds completely flawed...

yeah this went by here last night too. I am totally against it. Lock murderers, child molesters and rapists away for life with no possibility of parole in solitary confinement. If found innocent they can be let go later in life.

If we kill them and they're innocent we're the murderers.


As a matter of general principle.
People 'generally' aren't sentenced to die, until AFTER they've been found guilty.

I respect your opinion, but do not believe it is murder. Murder is malicious. Interesting fact: Death certificates of the condemned list the cause of death as "homicide." So I guess if one's definition of murder is the mere death of one at the hands of another then OK.

In Texas cop-killers go to the head of the line. We not only have the death penalty, we have an express lane.
