Death Penalty on Express Lane

Supreme Court upholds the Kentucky method of lethal injection. Article found today on the Courier-Journal website: http://courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080416/NEWS01/8041601...

I support capital punishment. Deal with it.

Also, Ron White says "Express Lane" and not "Speed Dial"...my mistake.

The Chinese still shoot them in the back of the head, execution style, then send the bullet and a bill for the bullet to the family. WAY TO KEEP YOUR PIMP HAND STRONG CHINA!!

I wish we could do that here. Barbaric as it might be, it sends a point which can't be denied.

Pimpin' aint easy.

*claps*

I would have to say that the death penalty is a good thing. People who do things that warrant such a punishment deserve to made examples of and in a state where it is enforced, statically crimes of that nature go down, people fear death, so death as a punishment is a GREAT reason not to kill people!

[iWurdulak]

Amen. Death for criminals who deserve it seems to be the best option. We can't make our violent criminals suffer when we're putting them to death though, amirite? XD

@CaressOfMoonlight These death row inmates dont meen shit to me.They meen as much to me as the victims of these hypocrites meant to them.I could go for if they are sentenced to death you can ask the family if they support it.If the victim or the victims family dont want the death penalty enforced I can except that.As for these bleeding heart idiots fuck'em.These bleeding heart assholes care more about the criminals rights than the victims.That puts my family & I at risk.TheUSSR got that right

You admit that it's barbaric? You are mostly getting your wish in the US. We're right up there with other "civilized" societies like Iran and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile the real civilized world is taking a dimmer and dimmer view of bloodthirsty America.

[Largo64]

Not that long ago I might have agreed with most of your argument. But one thing I wasn't considering was how many innocent people may be on death row. Since it is impossible to be 100% sure in every case, the state should not be taking life. The standard of "reasonable doubt" is simply not high enough.

[samflowertree]

I agree with almost everything you said, however I could do without lethal injection, hanging, etc. I feel that whatever means the offender used on his/her victim should be used against the offender. If you were to stab someone in the gut and they die in excruciating pain, so should the person who committed the crime. It would be harder for the public to cry, "cruel and unusual" when it's the exact method used by the killer. Preach on brother.

My problem with the Death Penalty is that it just doesnt work. It was designed to scare and steer people away from crime. But guess what, criminals,serial killers, ect... still go out and do what they do. If something fails in its main objective, than why even have it.

Not to mention it cost me more money with their damn appeals which are dragged for an average of 10 years per person. Thats 20,000 more per year for each person on death row.

Whether its humane for the idividual,who cares.

[helodat]

Death penalty all the way. You kill, you get killed....its that damn simple. Don't kill, you won't get killed. Nothing better than real justice being served.

The "tax dollars" argument doesn't mean a thing to me. Just that fact that we are keeping them alive and breathing new life into these scumbags is bad enough. They receive food, water, shelter, and medication; the same rights that they took from their victims. They even receive heart and liver transplants, which thousands of innocent people are waiting in hospitals for. I would like to know what the physicians at these prisons are feeling about having to care for these scum.

HANG 'EM HIGH! Let's get the executions rolling!
