Supreme Court Ruled Death Penalty Constitutional In April; Convicted Killer Scheduled For Execution In Ga.

MyOpinion1, we might borrow some concepts from Islamic law there. We could cut of the hands from those that steal too.

It is HILLARIOUS how many people come on saying things like "these guys should not be supported by our tax dollars". This is EXACTLY what I mean about the naivity of Americans. Even though it gets brought up again and again in these forums that the death penalty costs more, another supporter always shows up with that argument. Naive! If you are going to use something for an argument for the death penalty at least get your facts straight.

Dont worry little naive American whatinthewld, I already left the USA.

I would like to revisit cpaide''s claim that only 6 of the death row inmates exonerated in the past 30 years were truly innocent, as I have just read an article on this same site that states that 139 death row inmates have been freed and that most of these exonerations are attributable to negative DNA matches between the alleged murderers and the blood and *** stained evidence used to convict them. In view of this, I now believe that if there is potential DNA evidence available, a convicted murderer or rapist should have the right to have it analysed, provided that they pay the costs of such investigations. I''m sure that there are all sorts of bleeding heart liberal organisations like DeathPenaltyInfo who will happily stump up the readies for those too poor to afford it. One of the main reasons for this bleeding heart liberal opinion is because a wrongful conviction means that the actual bad guy is not pursued any more, and it is the actual bad guy we want to hang, garotte, poison, electrocute or guillotine isn''t it?

fibonacci - Have you heard of DNA before? These guys on death row didn''t walk into a store and steal a can of pop! These guys are cold blooded murderers who should not have to be supported by our tax dollars. Perhaps you should go to Mexico where there is no death penalty......and tell me........why are all the mexicans coming to the USA - the land of the free? a land that has the DP. Lots of land is for sale in Mexico....cheap! Safe travels, fibonacci!

Yea ZykraCosmos, I really do not get why Christians are some of the biggest death penalty advocates. It really seems to go against the New Testament and teachings of their prophet.

I''ve got an idea. Let the folks who are so quick to say "kill ''em" be the ones who are on death penalty duty. Instead of hiring a mercenary officer to take another life, let the wingnuts do this sort of like a jury duty. Every few months they get to go kill someone. Something different from hunting rabbits with an uzi. You know what''s funny? These are the same nutjobs that want to make sure an embryo has full constitutional rights. But once that kid is born, look out.. no free lunches baby. You''re own your own. And when you''re shot up with drugs, molested, and left on the streets, and then you grow up to be the angry killer that you are groomed to be, then these same wingnuts can''t wait to hang you by the balls. Interesting how all these same folks think they are Christians. What did Jesus say? Let the person who is without sin cast the first stone. Anybody visualize Jesus pulling the switch on somebody? You can''t be a Christian and put people to death. If you''re still cold-blooded enough to kill people, then you better stay away from Jack Daniels and keep your gun unloaded.

Posted by haoli25:
I don''t care if the hangings are public or not, but the U.S. should return to that manner of execution. After the execution, all of the organs should be harvested for transplant including the eyes, skin, etc. This is the only way these animals can begin to make ammends for their crimes.

LOL!! This has got to be one of the funniest postings by a wingnut today. Tell you what, "haoli25" We''ll let you harvest the blown-out eyeballs of someone who you hang, and then haul them over to a hospital for transplanting.

"For 2006, the average Murder Rate of Death Penalty States was 5.9, while the average Murder Rate of States without the Death Penalty was 4.22."

[ubrew12]

Right wingers don''t seem to get it.

If you execute someone who''s innocent: you are a murderer, and should be (by law) put to death.
