@Headhunter004 - You obviously are not speaking from the position of loving a loved one to a piece of human slime. The death penalty may not be a deterrent, but it helps to rid the earth of murderers.
You wouldn't be worried about the cost if one of your loved ones was murdered by a repeat offender who should have been zapped.
@bookcreator Funny... I thought the electric chair and the gas chamber, for sure, constituted torture. But yeah, I'm against the death penalty, too. Like I said, it doesn't deter crime, it's a LOT more expensive than LWOP, it really doesn't help victim's families (contrary to popular belief), it's not applied fairly (it's used against the poorest of the poor, not the "worst of the worst"), and it results in the death of innocent people (which ultimately means NO ONE should be executed, PERIOD).
@evil1337 Yeah but you need to remember the 8th amendment.

Capital punishment? Never met an inncocent young girl yet that was for it.
Boring, same old silly liberal arguments on behalf of murderers. Very lame.

I don't know the laws of usa but here in Greece we have a procedural rule.
We are not criminalizes the criminal thought. there is no "thought crime".
We criminalize only the ACT.
So i thing the phrase "criminal mind" is a little dangerous for the civil rights
