i heard last night that the supreme court made a new ruling that minors that commit a crime cannot be sentenced to the death penalty. it is effecting 19 states. (i think). i, personally, think that is not right. their age has nothing to do with wheter they should get the penalty or not. because of this new ruling, 9 criminals are going to be free men (in texas).
 one of the men that is going to be set free is a man that car-jacked a touring couple, made them drive out into the country begging for their lives, rapped the wife in front of her husband, then killed her before killing him.  --- what do you think of this? |

Even a thirteen year old knows that theres no coming back from death and that killing others is wrong, especially nowadays with tv and the internet. The bible did not say "thou shalt not kill", it said "thou shalt not murder".
To save even more on cost, we should use firing squads, it's humane, effective, painless, and does not destory many organs. The best part is that the bullet cost bout 50 cents or less. |

QUOTE(sadolakced acid @ Mar 9 2005, 5:19 PM) appeals, at the cost of the state. I've already pointed out the solution to this in my post. EDIT: Here's a situation. A man kills 15 people in a bombing, check. The man goes to prison for life without parole, check. 60 years in prison times $60,000 = $3,600,000, check. (Now, this is one inmate in pool of hundreds of thousands of people sentenced to life) Now, here's another situation. A man kills 15 people in a bombing, check. The man is sentenced to death, and I'm the U.S. Representative from Kansas who passed the bill that disallows such lenient appeals, check. That very same week, the man gets his $200.00 injection, check. So -- recap: LIFE IMPRISONMENT: Decades, millions. MY PROPOSAL: Weeks/Months, hundreds. |
