Capital Punishment

For the "Action" part of my Global Citizenship. What is Global Citizenship? Basically we research a topic (preferably a contentious issue), and at the end of this project, we have to present what we've found (which I have to do with a friend of mine tomorrow O_O ), produce an in-depth study, a diary (I have no idea as to what, though), and evidence of an action, which can be a poster, video, anything.

This is me and my friend Katie's action about Capital Punishment.

I tried to keep it neutral, and it is mainly focussed on the US, but please comment about what you think about the issue. It would be great if you could comment on the issue if you're from or are in a country (or state) that actively practices the death penalty. Thank you.

[Note] Due to copyright issues, the soundtrack to the video - originally Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" - has been replaced with something that doesn't quite fit, but it does it's job. Also, any wrong spellings are because I copied it directly from the official "last statement" on the Texas Prison website, found here: http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/

the dates arent correct?

[Elzypelz]

Which dates, and what should the correct ones be? I'll do my best to try and correct them, but like I said in the comments, most of the information was from the Texas Penintentiary website.

But I think it's just a formatting thing - I'm English, so my dates are DD/MM/YY. Sorry for the confusion :)

Your video sucks! First off, it is not organized at all. Secondly, these people are getting executed for a reason. Third, does anybody care what some stupid group like 'Amnesty International' think? It doesn't matter what they think! And last but not least, your dates are WAY off.

i love how this video is Clearly against the death penalty; it never states their punishment just shows pictures of puppy dog-eyed people behind bars. no where does it give any quotes from the family of the victims, how bout we think about them?

There is a reason why these scumbags are in prison (it's not for singing in the choir on sundays)

Most people deserve to die - even the innocent. But having said that, if we can save money by keeping killers in prison then go ahead and warehouse the bastards. I don't want a penny of my paycheck to go toward unnecessary spending even if it ends there miserable life sooner.
