Your opinion on the Death Penalty?

Jeffery Dahmer was born again, but it makes no difference, in my view. Rewarding inmates that rid the world of people like that, might be another method. (ie. someone tried to kill Dahmer once, and succeeded on the second attempt, weight lifting bar against the head)

I believe in the death penalty but in order to properly execute the death penalty one must believe in the governments ability to properly accuse, try, and convict. There in lies the problem. The governments ability to accomplish anything with 100% accuracy is at best questionable. There are examples of this everyday. Therefor the death penalty must to be taken off the table.
Express lane for sure. I can gaurentee that there has not been one case of an executed scumbag maiming, hurting, raping, killing again. Seems like a very effective plan to me.
What would I think, say or do if my family was purposefully harmed???
I hope not to ever answer that question.
So I can not speak with any direct perspective. I also agree with Wade, a child that is harmed boils my blood. I see red!!!
However is revenge ever a reason to take a life? Is a sense of justice ever a reason to take a life............ there are many, many people that are so devoid of good or value that is seems like the right and just thing to do.
Once we step down that slippery slope, where do we stop??
I for one could not look myself in the eye or expect my maker to forgive me for such a deed. Regardless of the reason.

as far as the death penalty is concerned i think if u kill someone u should die the same way ! if u rape someone u should be raped ! if u kill some one u should die the same way u killed them so they know what it was like for the victom !!!! if 100% conviction let the express lane open !!!

And the reason it costs so much is because of the anti-death penalty bleeding hearts that will make up all kinds of BS to try to get another trial. Their goal is to make it so expensive we (as a country) give up on the death penalty.
It used to be that about 10-15% of those on death row were actually innocent. Those are the ones the anit-death penalty lawyers point to. The problem with that arguement is with the advent of DNA testing and all the other modern goodies out there. If you are convicted, there is a 99% chance you are guilty.
If you ever get a chance to see the wrap sheets of some of the people in jail, it is scary. They have 15 - 20 arrests and they are still out in the community doing the same old bad chit.
I think they should expand the death penalty.
The 3 strikes and you get a free ride for the rest of your life in jail is BS.
If you haven't figured it out in 2 trips to jail, you never will.
3rd strike, you done. I will be happy to pull the level.
When crimes have a consequence again, crime will go down.
The days of crime doesn't pay, are gone.
Now crime does pay, ask any politician.

Hmmmm can anyone guess what my opinion is?
Hey Tim....I am really curious what yours is....you wanna chime in?
Sldgy....you're an alright guy in my book...but I am really curious what you think too. No I won't flame ya...just curious. LOL
There are the far left nuts on here that I am sure will have an extreme opinion soon.
Ask and you shall receive mps! Death row only needs one holding cell on it. Guilty, last meal of rotting animal flesh then it is lights out, period, end of story. And if you need someone to pull the trigger, give the injection, flip the switch, or pull the handle; PICK ME!
Any other questions?

No pick me... I would love to have that job, Trigger Man. The policy should be If you kill somebody we will kill you back!!! and the same goes with the child molesters and rapists because they have any incureable problem that death would be the only cure, I don't have a problem with taking them straight from the court to the injection table or the chair. It would ween out a lot of the BS I would think?

Revenge......justifiable. If I have to avenge my family and God see's it a sin, send me to he!!. At least I did what is right. I got even. Eye..............for an eye.
i have no problem with the death penalty as punishment for a capital offense....i have considerable problems with law inforcement that jumps to conclusions, with district attorneys doing the same.....i know the reliability of "eye witnesses"....it is of great concern to me that men have spent nearly their whole lives in prison based upon errors and malfesance of the above humans who made errors and lazy/easy assumptions about the guilt of a suspect, only to be later proved totally wrong by dna, new forensics, recanted testimony, etc.......hence, the need for a long period of time between conviction and execution....to allow for these things to come forward....it was not long ago that the statistics of men convicted of rape/murder that were later proved conclusively innocent from the states of illinois and texas came to light....it was shocking how many were wrongly accused and convicted, some spent 30 years in prison.....so until the legal system can show me that they can be 100% in their evidence, until "eye witnesses" can be shown infallible, and until the honesty and integrity of the law enforcement/legal prosecutor can be shown to be above reproach, i must reluctantly stand with no death penalty
That didn't make a lick of sense!!???

yep, 30 years ago is the dark ages.
With the tech we have today, it is rare (incredibly so) that anyone who isn't guilty is put on death row. DNA testing is correcting a lot of the wrongly accused.
But essentially what you are saying is, you will never be for the death penalty?
So lets say your wife/kid is killed. They tell you the dna is proof positive. Your neighbor saw the guy do it and an officer caught him with the gun.
You wouldn't let them go for the death penalty?
There are a fair share of people who wouldn't!! It's not going to change anything or bring back a loved one!!

Good point.
So, now that we have DNA, since it's good enough to exonerate a man, it must be good enough to convict.
You are a sick man, sick!! not in a good way either!!
big talker in my opinion!!
Put yourself in the shoes of others before you make outrageous comments like you did in your posting!!
Be honest with yourself and really contemplate the reality of what you said. or if it was you Dad, Bro, sis, mom uncle friend how was going to be hung, electricuted or injected!?????

Yes it will change things.
It will ensure the cockroach will never hurt anyone again.
It will ensure some bleeding heart liberal will never come up with some BS reason to let them loose again.
And yes, I will be first in line to be the exacutioner.
Crime no longer has any real punishment.
You kill someone and it's not self defence, I will help you set up the gallow.
And if you think I am just a big talker, you don't know me very well.
Alrighty then........ make that 2 sick phuks!! Then again, I already knew that about you!!

yep, convictions and principles make me a sick phuk. I will wear that like a medal.
And I will still be the first guy to pull the lever.
Oh and you will find my neighbor hood to be one of the safest around just because most of my neighbors are just like me and know that I will be there if they need me. I will have no problem shooting an intruder in their house or mine. I will call the police if I see the law being broken even if it's not my problem.
The bottom line.
If there were more people with the belief that criminals should be held accountable and pay a just penalty in relation to the crime they commit, there would be less criminals and less crime.

cruel and unusual.......the way I see it, if you do unto someone the way they did unto another.....it can't be unusual, it is common.
I am in the express lane control group. I lack all sympathy for criminals. I firmly believe that we would have a lot less death row inmates i the punishments for other crimes were greater.
how many folks have spit their gum out the window? would you still do it if you knew your lips could be cut off for it? prolly not.
additionally we need less suing and more knuckle justice in this country.
