The Death Sentence...

[collins]

that's cause you're a extremist lol

an extremist because he has a different opinion than you? lol ok.

If I was going to be in prison for life or executed, I'd want to die, so this isn't a very FAIR punishment. It's an easy way out. I've never quite understood it.

trust me, hell has more fury than a damn prison cell.

Eye for an eye seems fair enough to me.

heard that

The 8th amendment of the constitution protects us from cruel and unusual punishment. "Cruel and unusual punishment" is defined as any punishment that uses humiliation or suffering in a general disregard to human dignity. This definition has been used in the SCOTUS cases that have challenged corporeal/capital punishments.

So all that torture bullshit you guys are talking about will never happen. If the death penalty even stays on the books much longer it will be lethal injection.

If you John Birch Society assholes really want to live in a society like that, there are plenty of places in the developing world where you can enjoy public executions.

so you like the idea of them living another day after some of the shit they did?

I dont see anywhere in that article they say that sniper is ex military.

i dont believe thats what she was trying to say here

Does it really make them right? To kill also? Just puts them on his level...

it absolutely does not. thats called carrying out justice.

I'm sorry but I really wouldn't ever wish someone to die a long slow death, no matter what.

fuck that, i would.

The island idea might also sound harsh, but kicking out the bad in society. You don't want to be around it so you send it off. Well none of the other countries want the scum either. So you give him his own island and let him try to start over and fend for himself.

here's why i dont like that idea... thats giving them a fresh start. anyone with the desire to live can kill some native animals, start a fire, eat and survive. hell, it might be the most relaxing life they've ever known.


now, i'm not saying the death penalty is for everyone as that would be ridiculous and would most likely mean i'm literally insane for thinking so. but i most definately think it has its place in society. i believe it was billy that said it keeps those that ARE sane in check.
