Which would you choose?

Question

If you had the ability to:
Make every state in the U.S. enforce the death penalty the day a person is convicted of a murder.

or

Completely eliminate the death penalty.

Answer 1

enforce the death penalty the day a person is convicted of a murder- we are spending way too much money to keep these idiots on death row during the appeals process

Answer 2

I wouldn't enforce it so soon in case there is more evidence that comes to light, but I would keep the death penalty. Would decrease murder in the U.S. just like other countries.

Answer 3

Well given it has to be one way or the other...I'd go with option two and completely eliminate it. Too many innocent people would be killed...that's a lil more than an oopsie. Happens on a rare occasion now...but given an all or nothing at all scenerio - that possiblility would happen much more...sooooooo...let's hope we never go THERE huh?

Answer 4

Tough question. I think I would choose option #1. That way less of Americas taxpayers money would be spent keeping these people alive, when they've already been sentenced to death anyway. Why wait?

Answer 5

Would make them enforce it the day the person is convicted.

Answer 6

that's really not fair question. are you talking all murders, even involuntary? we need to have some kind of a death penalty, although there has to be limitations as to who and when can it be used. to ask a question with this much substance, you have to be able to differentaite the "murder".

Answer 7

#1

Answer 8

Make every state enforce it, because it is necesary for some things, I wouldn't say your first murder, but if you are a terrorist, then yes, you need to die!

Answer 9

bar none.......Death Penalty

Answer 10

option #1
