Patently BS, the cost of keeping those killers in prison for like is substantially higher in the long run, it is simple math.

Actually, it isn''t. The legal cost of getting a person executed are much higher than the cost of just keeping them in prison. You cut corners on the legal cost and you increase the odd of executing the innocent.

And when your state''''s GDP gets to within $500 billion of ours, then we may start to give a **** what you think.

Richard Allen Davis, Scott Peterson and a host of other sons of California will be happy to hear this.

Why don''t we go back to what our ancestors did with the firing line or hanging. It would sure solve the problem with over crowding and rope is inexpensive.

California, the State that has given the country the most diverse and brutal killers the world has known! Come to California and raise your kids with the peodophiles and deviates!

Despite Arnold and Maria''s ads on TV to come to California, you should run to the nearest EXIT and get out of this failed State.

I am against the death penalty because no one has the right to take another''''s life except in self defense. (and yes, I am also against abortion) Posted by GrammaWhamma

So, let''s see your granddaughter gets raped and severly beaten and ends up pregnant. 1)she should be forced to carry the child of that monster?! 2) That monster should just be allowed to live out the rest of his life in prison watching tv, lifting weights, getting congical visits with his family and so on while your granddaughter suffers?

Of course this is all speculation and god forbid it ever happen to you, but guess what it has happened to someone and they have to live with it. Get real, those people don''t show their victims mercy why show them any. No wonder California blows, it is full of liberal over inflated ego politicians and actors who think they know what is best for everyone else living in the real world and not making three digit incomes.

When California talks, America listens and shakes their head.
When California walks, America watches and laughs.
When stories about California break, America won''''''''t shut up about it, bad news travels fast.

The state of California-- the epicenter of America''''''''s disasters since 1850.

Just kidding, I loved visiting Tahoe and Yosemite.

The death penalty is cheaper than supporting carrer criminals (most first time offenders aren''t getting the death penalty) for the rest of their lives. Does it matter if they take one life or twenty?

Stop giving them cable, a commisary, etc. Make them work while they are in there HARD labor. And for goodness sake let''s stop this endless string of appeals. I do think there should be an appeal process, to protect the truly innocent and even the guilty who have poor defenses. But dragging it out for 10+ years is the reason prisons are so crowded in the first place.

Why feel sorry for these people? As I have stated before...PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY is a must and so is living (or dying) for the consiquences of your actions.
