I agree Thomas Crowne that these pathetic, low life,worthless pieces of human excrement should be put down immediately. However, our courts don't do that, with appeals and stays ect..ect... They can sit on their ass on death row for decades. Protected from the other inmates and getting three square meals a day. With all the protesters against the Death Penalty I feel sooner or later it will be abolished. My suggestion of making them work hard labor in the mines seemed to be the only other alternative. Here they would be away from the public, with no possible chance of escape. They would never see the light of day or be able to converse with another inmate.
I signed the petition for the Death Penalty in Washington State. That was when a friend of mine was raped, tortured, and killed. I believe the man that did this is still sitting on Death Row. This guy lived directly across the street from my friend. He had a torture chamber in the basement. It made one young officer so ill he passed out! The killer was linked to atleast 5 other murders of young women.

Rehabilitation? Take these two examples I've given, rehab them and then move them next door to you. You rehab the petty thief, you rehab the drug criminal, you kill those convicted of heinous crimes. Remove the threat from the face of the earth, once and for all, and let their death be a warning to the next animal that feels he can't control his impulses.
However, rehabilitation can work. If you have such a distaste to people who kill then why do you wan t people to be killed by the government?
According to the FBI there are still 35-50 Serial Killers still at large in the United States. Other estimates put the number of killers close to 500. It is believed that presently there are up to 6,000 people a year dying, at the hands of serial killers.
People who end up doing stuff like this have usually had a messed up life, been surrounded by violence or witnessed death at a young age.

I was really interested to start debate on this topic. How many people here at ATS agree with the death sentance. Do you think that it is a just punishment for a criminal. I do not agree. I think that any country that has the death penalty is accepting the failure of it's system. If you are killing somebody you are not changing what has happened you are merely putting another dead person to the list. I dont think anywhere in Eurpoe still has the death penalty ( correct me if I'm wrong) and I think it's time that it was stopped.

Jeeze. You guys are some pretty gutless people. I hope one day you find yourself locked up for whatever reason and you might understand that humans arn't faultless and no matter what they need a chance to rehabilitate as apposed to just being destroyed.
Theoretically beautiful. Realistically, rubbish. I had the opportunity to work in the prison system for one year (Fortunately, a couple hundred of us were laid off due to the politicians giving themselves a payraise, and in doing so, costing many state employees their jobs), and can tell you that the whole notion of "rehabilitation" is total and vulgar nonsense. You cannot rehabilitate those who were not first "habilitated"
Here's an example of a disgusting dog that should be put down: A pedophile sex offender was released, and he moved to another state. He moved in with a woman and her four year old daughter. Yes, you stupid idiots, I said her innocent, four year old daughter. This pathetic, sick, sorry piece of garbage beat the child, broke her little jaw, and then poured scalding water on her.
I don't know about you sick bastards, but anyone who would not pull the switch on such animals and rid them from society once and for all are the barbaric ones. Let's here it for that good ol' relative morality, that swell idea of rehabilitation.
Hey, Jozeph, why don't we send those animals to your world, let you hug them all better, huh? Stupid.

Whats exactly against trying to 'cure' people like those pedophiles u talk about and if that doesnt work they stay in custody the rest of their lives but at least we try..and ik think its better then frying retarded people, or frying people that didnt even do where they are killed for..like i stated b4, kill and be killed, states.
