I completely agree with it. I'm proud to be from Texas, where if you kill someone, we'll kill you right back.

So, some of you mean to tell me, that if someone brutally raped your sister and murdered her AND her child, you think that they just "messed up" and should be given a second chance? Come on, now.

Give me information, on someone that YOU can prove is innocent, that's sitting on death row, then ...

Forgive and forget? Are you joking me? Somebody murders an innocent human being, and you're just supposed to forgive them and forget it ever happened? Where is the logic in that? I am for the death penalty 100%, but only if the criminal is proven guilty of a heinous crime such as murder or rape, and they are 100% sure that he/she is the true criminal. It would be very unfair if the suspect was falsely accused, then sentenced to death penalty.

NO i don't believe in it
WHY
because the person who has been killed has been taken from a mother a father siblings friends and they will be thought of everyday and people will cry everyday for that person
BUT
the killer gets a injection and gets away from the nightmare
he has not got to hear guards call them by a number they have not got to stand when they are told he is not punished when he has been killed
he don't live to live everyday thinking of what he has done because he has been killed by the law
i believe a killer should remember every day what he has done
shut him in a super max in the shu
were there is no sunlight were they are are on lock down 24/7
were the only people he can chat to everyday is by shouting to another inmate because no one but the guards will talk when they pass a instruction through the door
killing a killer makes you no better than the killer
you still take a life
that's my view anyway
respect

I agree. There are some very bad people on death row. Not people who murdered by innocent mistake or had a real reason. Psycho bad people.

Right on. The death penalty is an excellent deterrant for crime, and there is plenty of research that can prove it.
Plus, the people who do things worthy of the death penalty have it coming to them, and they deserve every ounce of what they get. You reap what you sow.

I disagree. Innocent people have been placed on death row as been seen by several who have been exonerated. It's not 100% foolproof and hasn't proven itself to be a deterrent.
It's interesting though that a lot of people who believe in God and 'thou shall not kill' are pro-death though.

Revenge does have it's own distinctive odor, but I assure you all, it's not sweet.
While I do agree that those victimized by someones violence should have and keep every right to revenge, I don't agree that the State, ANY State should EVER have the power to kill it's own citizens.

By firing squad or hanging!
Yep
Post-Patum abortion!
That's the Methodist way to do things!
Why waist good boys from Texas!?
Take the guy to Iraq and have him walk into the desert to see if there are any land mines!
Better yet, why don't we send him to Iraq and MAKE him take POINT!
It gets the same results!

I agree an eye for an eye. If they do away with the death penalty all hell will break loose.

I agree in the death penalty--an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. If you take someone's life you should be willing to sacrifice your own

I absolutely agree with the death penalty and I think
it should be according to the way that the criminal
killed his/her victim.
