wow suprised to the the against it winning...people here might have more brains than i think -
im for it. scaring people will keep them in line.
criminals aren't that afraid of killing and robbing people because they can tough it out in jail. however, if they risk having an arm cut off for stealing, or castrated for rape, they would think twiceEmail: Clicky on MeComment

depends on the circumstances.
if some douchebag brutally rapes and kills a child, dismembers her, he needs to leave the planet without a beating heart by the hand of man.
i suppose there is an argument for any perspective, but thats mine and i'm sticking to it.Comment

I don't think that is true at all.Comment

I don't think you should judge someone's intelligence based on their stance on this issue.
When someone kills someone you love in cold blood and prison life doesn't seem to bother them, you may feel differently.

I have nothing against seeing a murderer get fried. I say we should stack 'em 20 high on the fuckin chair and throw the switch. So, no moral objections.
Fiscally, it's not really sound. Most of the inmates lined up to die sit on death row for years, sucking taxpayer dollars, so its just a waste of money.
Also, its not really a deterrent. Does anyone think some asshole will not shoot a grocery store clerk because they think they might get the electric chair?

I'm against it not from a moral standpoint but a practicality standpoint. It costs more to put someone to death than it does to put them in jail for life and it clogs up the legal system so I say we just do away with it for good. It doesn't work. It isn't a deterrent and all it is doing is costing us money.Comment

i'm for it but with a LONG and lengthy process to have it enacted and only for
a. more than one murder with decreasing wait time till death on every additional murder
b. repeat child molesters for kids under 12This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!
Now read without the word dog.Comment

When did a single bullet, and 10 minutes of 1 persons time cost over $32k?
Last year, they said it costs $32,952.20 just to house 1 inmate per year... 1 bullet costs pennies, and you can pay a guy $1k to put that bullet in the mother fuckers head... Save thousands of dollars a year, per inmate.Comment

I don't know if anyone saw this New Yorker article from a few weeks ago: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2...urrentPage=all ?
It's a sad and frightening story. The governor of Texas is trying to hamstring a state commission charged with investigating this probable miscarriage of justice.Comment

That is a fantastic idea until it is you getting the bullet put into your head for a crime you didn't commit, but were found guilty of because the eye witness wrongly identified you and the prosecution was able to keep the DNA evidence that proves your innocence out of the case.

For every case like that, there are 100's that are real murders and shit living off our tax dollars enjoying 3 meals a day, a bed to sleep in, entertainment, and outside time, while us tax payers get fucked in the ass, lose our houses, and cars because we can't afford to pay them anymore, and also starve...That is a fantastic idea until it is you getting the bullet put into your head for a crime you didn't commit, but were found guilty of because the eye witness wrongly identified you and the prosecution was able to keep the DNA evidence that proves your innocence out of the case.
Sometimes it just seems easier murdering someone just so you can live your life and not worry about waking up in a ditch starving and cold...Comment
