I support Capital Punishment.

[ Edited ]

It's just too bad my state doesn't have it. When a person is this fukkt up in the head, the only good choice is to put them down.

I used to support it.

Honestly though, I'm not sure the justice system has reached or ever will reach the point where it should be handing down sentences of such permanence.

Too many people have been found to be innocent years after being convicted.

I respectfully disagree - I do not support any killing whatsoever.

“Steven Johnson was convicted of a brutal stranger **bleep** in 1996, and served 12 years in a state prison. He was released in 2008, and married his wife the year after.”

Wtf… was she thinking?

I haven't supported the death penalty. It costs more to execute someone than it does to incarcerate for life. That alone makes prison the better choice. The war on drugs is also a failure.

I support the death penalty when it's warranted.

I'd totally do the one in the middle, Is she legal?



Kind'a old. But if you're passing through New York give me a call



Oh, sorry. I assumed she was stupid for being your wife




Right now you sound like a whiny bitch. So you're probably Hoddy's wife.




It really does look like it's Hoddy's stupid wife

But the prisons are so overpopulated. Cost isn't as much the issue as is the ability to actually care for them. 

The war on drugs is **bleep** stupid. It is a lot of the reason the jails ARE so overpopulated.

If a person takes an innocent life then it's always warranted. Give me the switch, I'll pull it every time.

 Lot's of druggy's have to steal and murder to buy the drugs. So your argument is void.

I disagree with you, but you're entitled to your opinion and in a way I understand it.

 

Yes, there are some horrible people who do terrible things.  You could argue that they don't deserve to live, and you'd probably have a point.  My point, however, is that the we don't deserve to kill - and if we're asking the state to kill on our behalf that amounts to the same thing.

Trolls:
They cannot live without trolling.
Normal people, on the other hand, can choose when to respond and when to ignore.

Killing is sometimes justified.  

Murder.....which is what typically gets someone sentenced to death....isn't.

Undoubtedly there are people who were sentenced to death who should be put to death for what they did...but you really can't take it back if you put an innocent person to death.

I imagine that a lot of people who commit murder think that what they did was justified for whatever reason

and is putting an innocent person to death because you got the wrong guy justified?

This is how I feel about it, too.  Some criminals certainly deserve to die, but allowing a justice system that has been proven to be fallible (and sometimes outright corrupt) to put people to death is just not acceptable to me.

Re: I support Capital Punishment.

I have a great idea to "fix" the problem of innocent people being executed. If someone is caught red-handed in the act of **bleep**, murder, etc. then execution will take place within 24 hours after a guilty verdict. If a **bleep** or murderer is convicted by witness testimony or circumstantial evidence, then there is the possibility that they are innocent and they would not be immediately executed, and would have a chance to prove their innocence.


Here's the best part: I have a plan to save a LOT of tax dollars by greatly reducing the prison population. Repeat violent offenders make up a large percentage of state and federal inmates. These repeat offenders commit violent crimes, go to jail, get out, commit violent crimes, go to jail, get out, over and over. For most of them, there is no way that they will ever become useful members of society. Why should the government be wasting our tax dollars housing these scumbags in prison? I say that if a violent offender gets arrested for a third violent offense, then he should immediately be executed after a guilty verdict. My reasoning is that if a criminal repeatedly harms other people every time he's on the street, then there is no possible way he should EVER be let back in society. Taxpayers should not have to pay for him to sit in jail; that money would be better spent on education, health care, or whatever. So, let's execute these monsters. The fact that they've committed violent crimes over and over again is proof that they are not innocent, so there's no need to worry that an innocent man may be executed.

 

This will also save tax dollars in other ways. I've worked in a prison for a long time, and these inmates usually make more babies every time that they get back out on the street. Who supports these babies? We do!
