Keep execution, maybe it will make people think twice before they do something. I believe in public execution and I think they should re-institute public hangings in the square and maybe the stocks too. And why is it that assaulting a nurse is just a misdemeanor but assaulting a doctor is a felony. Make people responsible for their actions, and not saying the devil made me do it. It's called integrity.
I think they should do away with lethal in jection and just use sharp knifes to cut those animals up so they can feel what their victems felt. And to all who hold this vigal to stop the killing of these animals, I wouder if you would be out there holding your little candels and your fake tears ig your family members were murdered and torn apart by these animals. It is not your judgement to make, it is Gods and to the family's of these murderers,rest assured your so called loved one is enjoying his new home in hell for eternity. Would love to see how brave they are now.
The death penalty is ineffective because it does not deter crime, it's terribly expensive to implement, and it's unethical. Courts and juries often make mistakes. Many people are wrongly sentenced and the death penalty takes away the opportunity to correct those wrongs once they are discovered.
I respect the people's right to demonstrate their belief's, but wonder why they weren't holding a vigil while Emmett was beating his co-worker to death.
