Anger sure fuels him...must be life in DC...I grew up there, spent more than 30 years of my life there, and I don't want to go back there anymore.
The only reason I do is for my family - I'm done with sightseeing, something I used to love, I'm through with the DC version of big city life...I'm beginning to think Philly might be better, and I never used to think so.
Anyway, about the folks here with the blood lust (like Mark for one), I think revenge is the only thing on their minds, and when in this case Mark doesn't get the answer that bounces around in his head, he finds it incredible and disingenuous that you'd have a different opinion of how the legal system should deal with criminals than he does.
Again, I will state that the way I PERSONALLY would want the murderer dealt with (I have some wonderfully creative and painful things in my mind like everyone else does) and the way I want the LEGAL SYSTEM to deal with the killer are TWO SEPARATE THINGS and they are that way for a REASON, as I know you feel as well, kind sir.
Mark and the folks that think like him would be stringing people up all by themselves if allowed. Thank goodness for laws.

Why can't you read? I have repeatedly answered your inflammatory questions. You simply don't like my answer because it doesn't fit the little box your opinions live in.
You got your answer. Deal with it. Like it or don't. I'm through repeatedly answering your hate driven question.

Knowing your loved one's killer is still alive does not make you a victim. We don't execute people for the purpose of making you feel good.

To those of you who are pro death penalty:
Are you for the death penalty beacuse you believe it deters ppl from committing murder and therefore it will contribute to a decrease in murders?

Easy to say for someone who isn't innocent and on death row.
Currently the military is all volunteer. If you feel that way, then you first.
If one can die for the many then people can be murdered without receiving death penalty justice so that many innocent people can not be executed

Most of the people on death row are guilty of something..if not the crime they are there for then one they didn't get caught for.
Let me also mention that if it were your family member brutally murdered I'm sure you'd want the piece of crap dead.

I am for the death penalty. The thing I have learned, taking criminal justice classes and juvenile justice classes is that no one is accountable for their actions. The death penalty makes them accountable. I don't understand how someone can molest a kid and get sentenced to 6 years only to be released for good behavior after 8 months. And don't even get me started on life in prison without the possiblilty of parole?!!! or consecutive life sentences!!!
If society deems that these pieces of s are not allowed back into society ever, than why are my tax dollars paying for conjugal visits and sex change operations and 3 squares a day and cable t.v.
Ultimatly my position on the death penalty is that if someone has been sentenced to life without parole or consecutive life sentences, don't waste my money. Fry em'

I agree! The justice system needs to take a stand AGAINST the act of murder. I think when a society decides to institutionalize murder, like in the case of death penalty, there is a double standard.
To answer the question: 100% against death penalty

Fish wrote:

<quoted text>I agree. I am opposed to the death penalty but if my family was slaughtered, I probably would want to kill the person myself. I am human and it's not likely I can maintain objectivity when faced with that kind of emotional trauma.
Our system of laws must be above that lack of objectivity, otherwise we have anarchy.
I am perfectly content with a convicted murderer sitting in a prison cell for life and I think it's incredibly ridiculous and naive for people to think prison is somehow "luxurious" as one person suggested and a walk in the park.
Of all those who think that way, I wonder how many are willing to commit a felony so that they can live there.

I used to be 100% in favor of the death penalty.
Then as I grew older I only favored it for certain heinous crimes. Now I am totally against it.
Even if it can be 100% proven someone committed the crime they are being punished for, the state should incarcerate the person for the remainder of their lives, not execute them.
We have seen all too often people get proven innocent after being put on death row. You can't "unkill" some one after you find out they were wrongly convicted.
