death penalty

Published Oct. 13, 2008

I know this isn't related to anything but I just want to ask/hear what people have to say or what they think about the death penalty. For/Against? Why or why not??

 

As for me........ all I know is if you take a life God gave an innocent person... you sure as heck don't desereve to have one. That's that.

In theory I am all for it....

In reality - MIKE NIFONG!

tidbit, I think you are reading just a little too much into the constitution. Do you for one minute think there wasn't a death penalty when it was written. Sure we all have a right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness but when one doesn't pursue happiness and liberty for those they kill then their right to that pursuit should be ended. I used to be against it but now I think I'm more for it in some circumstances. The guys who killed Eve Carson, the men who murder their spouses (doubly so pregnant spouses) and a few others too numerous to go into.

I'm also for a woman's RIGHT TO CHOOSE! It should be nobody's decision but the woman, and husband if married.

I don't think a country that allows millions of abortions for innocent souls should even have to ask about death penalty of murderers. The criminals had a choice and did crimes to lead to their deaths. The innocent infants and victims did not.

I support the death penalty ONLY if there is zero doubt!

Case in point - against: The guy that served 18(?) years for raping a child, but then found out he did not do it.

Cae in point - for: The scum that raped the 60+ year old woman in Cary recently and was caught in the act...no doubt he did it!

Slip Kid, you said "Governments are, for the most part, created by God.". Are you kidding? People haven't said this since they had the divine right of kings. And if God had any part in helping to create most of the governments in existence today then he has a very weird sense of humor.

Correctin: "I do support"

The general public would be surprised at the number of people on death row who are wrongfully convicted. Some police departments and some DA's don't always do thorough work, therefore putting the wrong people on death row. I so support the death penalty in some cases, but I recall a study that indicated that it is a poor deterrent for criminals.

I could support the death penalty if there were a provision to bring those people who are wrongly executed back to life.

It is a good idea. Some folks just need killing. No kidding, they have given up their right to life among others by their actions. That is why it has been used throughout history by all types of civilizations.

I have to disagree with the idea of extending the death penalty to include crimes other than murder (although the idea of executing white collar criminals is tempting). It isn't that crimes like rape don't deserve a severe penalty; they do. If rapists know they'll get the same penalty from rape that they would for murder, I'm afraid they'd have less of a problem with killing their victim to keep them from testifying against them.
