As long as they are breathing the violent criminal mind is active. They are always a threat and set free because of the system. See system below.

The Really Old West Ruled. Kill someone. Get killed.

Utah too
Then the progressive Old West added a sheriff, then the jail, then the judge, then the jury, then the bigger jail, then the lawyer, then the bail bondsmen, then the prison for criminals, then the lawyer teams, then the institution for the criminally insane, then the rogue cops, then the appeals, then...we have today's repeat offenders..

Okay, my cat woke me at 5 AM..on my day off.

PS. I do believe in forgiveness. Peaches is still Yowling...and safe.

I'm familiar with the "eye for an eye" quote. Apparently it "makes the whole world blind".

(I am opposed to the death penalty.)

Hot Hot Topic.

I'm cold when it comes to this subject, pro death penalty, that includes for me ANYONE who's raped,
messed with kids, or the elderly.

You can't reform child molesters or rapists they WILL do it again.

Ron White says,

"I’m from Texas. In Texas we have the death penalty. And we USE it.

That’s right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That’s our policy.

They’re trying to pass a bill right now through the Texas Legislature that will speed up the process of execution in heinous crimes where there’s more than three credible eye witnesses. If more than three people saw you do what you did, you don’t sit on death row for 15 years, Jack, you go straight to the front of the line.

Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty… my state’s putting in an express lane."

Touchy subject.

I admit that I have mixed feelings about the death penalty, especially with the recent spate of new evidence, DNA, etc..that has cleared several people on death row of the crimes they were convicted for. However, I am totally with Snow on executing those who victimize children and those who are sexual predators...studies have shown that these people can NEVER be rehabilitated. In their case, I not only believe in execution...I think it should be public.

I have 2 things to say.......

~I'm thinking I'm against the death penalty.....but if we're going to give them life, then NO PAROLE. If we're going to give them life, then NO PERKS. Prison is not vacation time, imho. Excuse ME, but you LOST your rights when you took someone's life. So maybe you'll get a book every now and then, but no internet. No law books. Limited visitor access. This is not a picnic. Will you go a little nuts? Well isn't that just too bad for you? Because you have NO IDEA the hell you have created for the victims.

You fuck up? You pay for the rest of your life. It might be the best punishment for you to sit in your cell and think about what you've done.

Second ~ so the guy who killed a man's entire family, raped the wife, tied his teenage girls up to their bedposts and then burned their home down gets NINE consecutive death sentences?????

Would that be considered "overkill"?

(Sorry.)

yes. Hot topic.
I used to be opposed to it, thinking suffering in prison was the best punishment. But we don't have those medieval dungeons any more. We have guys in prison with Facebook accounts and on dating sites, luring in naive women and writing to innocent children.

Overkill. 9 death sentences. That's good.
