Injection of Reflection

This is crazy!!!!! When did the rights of the convicted become more important than the rights of the victims?? I am ALL for the death penalty. I think if we went back to public executions we would see a dramatic drop in the crime rates.... The rapist, murderer, child molester, etc., did not worry about how cruel and inhumane his treatment of his victim was; why should we worry about the way they are treated?? I say if there is an eyewitness, DNA, or other irrefutable proof. Hang 'em, fry 'em, or inject 'em no questions ask and get it over with. Then maybe we will stop seeing all the murder and mayhem we are seeing right now.

What ever happened to An Eye for an eye?!. To often these groups complain about what kind of pain and unusual punushment these prisioners go through!. BULL CRAP!. WHAT KIND OF PUNISHMENT IS LEFT FOR THE VICTIMS THEY LEAVE BEHIND!. RAPE MURDER. MOLESTATION OF CHILDREN BEATING TO DEATH AND IT GOES ON AND ON!. VICTIMS ARE LEFT WITH THESE CRIMES AGAINST THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES!. When are these people going to pay for what they do?!. And then we HAVE to PAY FOR THEIR SCHOOLING IN SIDE MORE BULL!. COLOR TV!. EDUCATION THEY RECIEVE FOR FREE!. WHEN WE ARE TAXED TO DEATH AND CHARGED AN ARM AND AN LEG FOR EDUCATION. MORE AND MORE CRAP!. WHEN ARE HONEST PEOPLE GOING TO BE CREDITED FOR LIVING CRIME FREE!.

I am very supportive of the death penalty no matter if it is hanging, lethal injection or if it is done by gas chamber....... As one stated earlier, they do not think or care when they are raping and murdering someone's child, they don't care when they place the child in a plastic bag and let them suffocate! Why should we worry how inhumane that they lethal injection is. As one posted, let the family of the victim do it or make a person in prison do it to them. On or not on death row, I don't care who does it but why take the chance of letting them get out to do it again? Why run up the tax payers money to keep them in jail, getting 3 meals a day off of OUR hard earned money, just because the defense attorneys want to fight it?! Who cares, if it were their kid how would they feel? Would they want the person still alive, and how you suppose the defense attorney would feel to know they had another lawyer defending their child's killer?!! It goes back to not raising the child right and how you let the child come up. The man that killed 9 yr.old Jessica M. Lungsford, they defense was well he too was abused as a child, so let's not give him the death penalty! WHATEVER! PLEASE! My gosh. To think my child can be abducted, kidnapped, raped, molested and the man get off!!! That's where I would murder him myself! Then would I too be able to get off???? It's ridiculous how we allow these convicts (99% are all 2,3,4,etc. time offenders) deride our justice system and make a mochary out of us all!!!
I wouldn't care about the race or color either. If you do the crime, get the lethal injection. Damn the time! Why should they get the time when hey, their victim doesn't have any time anywhere on this earth???????????

What I disgusts me more that the death penalty, is the number of right wing so called Christians who proclaim themselves "pro-life" yet support the death penality. If you are pro-life, then be pro-life in all situations, do not kill the unborn, do not kill people on death row and do not kill in war. As far as I can tell, the only people with any pro-life credabilty are the Quakers.

I agree with the witchnurse!!!! Let them rot in hell!!! Our prison system!!!!!!

I remember back at school, there was a guy who was different to many of us, we taunted him, teased him and made his life hell. I got to know the guy, and he was a really nice guy, but society and the bullies of this world put into him an anger and hatred which was not of his own making. He was born into this world just like I was, only under a different star, and instead of finding loving and caring friends he found people who
taunted him, bullied him and basically made him into a moinster. Fortunataly, he took his own life before he could vent his anger at the people who today are so rightoes about the death penalty. We need to look further than simply the killer - WHO MADE THE KILLER. More often than not WER are the guilty ones and not the actual killer. This is reality and if we want to be honest with ourselves we have to admit that we are as guilty as the guy who has been put oin death row.

If you kill then you shall be killed

Yes let's keep them alive at $35,000 a year while the people they murdered lie in the ground, the famlies and children of the murdered victim suffer. and continue to pay taxes to keep the person who murdered their family member continues to live . If a person is sentenced to 30 years for Murder he or she can get out in 15 years or less .when does the victim get out of the grave? Yeah vote for a 30 year sentence cost the tax payers $100,000.00 when the victim if not killed could have paid $100,000 in taxes to help the community. Why is a killers life more important than the person he killed ?

Utah has the best method - the Firing Squad. It's quick and does the job, and you can charge the estate of the convicted person for the bullets.

I don't agree with the death penalty in every murder case. That being said, anyone who has not problem torturing and murdering a person, especially childre, should be put to death. I understand extremely strong evidence should be required to put a person to death, but as far as it being humane, why should it matter. The person sentenced to death did not worry about how humanely they treated their victims. Nor did they give their victims a chance to live no matter how much they pleaded. Now, if it is too dificult for the prison guards to "torture" a person sentenced to death, maybe the victim's family should be offered the chance, or allow an inmate who is not on death row to do it...Or better yet, force an inmate on death row to do it, so that they know what they're in store for. Some of the murderers on death row have done that kind of psychological torture to their victims, so let them see what that can really do to you. I have no regard for human beings who feel justified in torturing and killing another human being "just because they felt like it."

Curious and Ruger, let's get some facts in. First, The victims have never had a right to kill. It's the state that has that reserves that right. Two, Given the often racist nature of the criminal justice system, there are too many people who have been convicted on faulty, or the incorrect analysis of evidence. i.e. DNA, Eyewitness, etc.... The death penalty has never really stopped anyone from committing a murder. Most murders are actually committed in the heat of the moment. By the way, Ruger. You would have to be a complete idiot to say that race has nothing to do with it. In spite of hundreds of years of evidence to the contrary. You would have to completely ignore evidence that has come in shear volumes. But I understand, that is probably the only way you can sleep at night knowing what your ancesters did, and what you still benefit from today.
