And, America: WAKE UP!!!! You''re footing the bill to keep these despicable beings in jail. And yet the number one concern in the upcoming election is the poor mess our economy is in right now. Oh well, pull out your visa. You''ll need it as your tax money goes to the prisoners who you''ve allowed to live in spite of what they''ve done to another human being.

Let''s keep all the vicious killers alive in jail so they can teach the car thieves and burglars how to be better criminals when they get back on the streets. We have made it so easy on criminals by giving them so many rights that they do not fear prison. I can guarantee that no one who was executed ever killed anyone else. Also, no doctors should be allowed to participate in executions. Their purpose is to save lives and that is not what executions are all about.

We have now reached the point where empathy for the perpetrator exceeds that of the victim. I''m sure the victim of the person on death row when having their throat slit after being raped and beaten half to death really enjoyed that and could never, never have considered it torture. The United States of America was once a proud nation and did the right thing. I don''t know what we are now.

It amazes me that a lethal injection for a convicted killer can be considered cruel and inhumane...when the killing of unborn babies is swept under the rug as a woman''s right. How sad it all is.

Were the victims given a humane way to die? Why should killers be allowed to have a painless death?

The electric chair is needed! So is hanging and a firing squad as well as lethal injection-the easier route.

I am tired of this bleeding heart stuff. If you kill you should die just as painful and awful a death.

I could pull the switch on a convicted murderer, it is more humane to use Lethal injection. Execute Execute Execute Posted by fettkonserv

If afterward you find that the person you pulled the switch on was not guilty, then how you would justify your guilt for the murder you committed?
