First off I will give you my I mail address so you can I mail me personal with your response to what I have to say on this issue duke4172@hotmail.com
The death penalty is not used often enough if you ask me; Think of the many lives that are taken daily the rapes committed and the many millions of dollars in drugs sold on our streets daily. The only crime is that when the death penalty is handed down by the courts it is seldom carried out quickly people stay on death row 15, 20, 25 years and in some cases die while waiting to be executed. And who ever came up with the idea of lethal injection has never lost a loved one to a capital crime or had a teenager get strung out on drugs because the only deterrent to crime is fear and what fear does a prisoner get from looking lethal injection in the face NONE Keep the electric chair, The gas chamber, hanging and firing squad and USE them on a regular basis like they are intended to be used and you will see the crime rate in this country drop overnight. Why should we care if an electrocution is botched on occasion did the person that suffers a botched execution even stop to think of his victims pain or the pain his actions would cause the loved ones left behind I seriously doubt it. The execution age needs to be set at 18 in my opinion at 18 you are old enough to distinguish right from wrong and there is no reason an 18 year old who is legal to die for his country can not die for his crimes if they are serious enough to warrant such a punishment! So my hat goes off to Texas (300 so far way to go) and Florida in leading this country in the executing of their inmates all I say is keep up the good work if it were left up to me we would empty the prisons in this country in one good weekend of non stop executions save the money it cost to house these animals and make the streets safe for our women elderly and children. It is not fair for Robert Lee Yates who killed 13 prostitutes or Gary Ridgeway who has been charged with the deaths of 48 young woman including the daughter of a friend of mine and just yesterday Robert Browne who is already serving time in Colorado for murder has admitted to killing 50 people in California, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Washington, as well as one in South Korea The easy answer is these losers deserve to die by execution instead of the different police departments making deals such as tell us what you know and we wont execute you. This is not fair to the victims nor the families that are left behind, in my opinion these killers did not have any regard for their victims so why should we have any regard for them. It also is screaming out to other go ahead and kill someone and we will let you live with no threat of execution! Capital punishment is a deterrent for crime and you will see the crime rate drop when the death penalty is used like it one was in a bygone era!
I am also for the idea of whipping or caning, Singapore canes their inmates and they have very little crime. If it were up to me we would be whipping inmates on the courthouse square especially those who molest kids or hurt the elderly! I also feel that we should empty our prisons of all of the people that are locked up for petty crimes and draft them into the military! If my ideas were a reality this world would be a paradise!

Anything they can do that is SLOW and painful. I am so tired of hearing about how the murderers should die fast and painfree. BS..how many victims died fast and pain free..few if any..I think lethal injection is too easy..they don't feel anything. I am all for hanging or being shot to death -1 bullet at a time..starting from the feet and going up. or the gas chamber..that causes suffereing..it gives them time to think about their victims while they are gasping for air.

"Believe in" it? No. It's not a religion. I acknowledge it exists. Perhaps your question should be, do you agree with having a death penalty in the USA? Yes I do, but I do not agree with how it is applied. That being the case, I would be perfectly happy if it is never used again.

lethal injections fine...but i have a friend who said it is legal to put the person up against a wall and use a machine gun on them until they die. that way would be best. But what I think we should do is whatever they did to their victim we should do back to them. so if they beat their victim to death with a baseball bat they should be beat to death with a baseball bat.

Pump a poison gas into their cell that will cause them to be brain dead without waking them up. Then transplant their organs into people that need them. We would be taking 1 life but we'd be saving several others so we would come out ahead morally.

Hang them... or something else equally entertaining.
Or perhaps Machine Gun their @sses down, after pretending to let them free?
Let them feel their victims pain.

Hanging or execution ( bullet to head) is probably better . Have their organs donated to people who really needs to have one to live.

Lethal injection is fine. I do not care if they have pain. They are convicted killers.

Lethal injection is much more considerate to them than they were to their victims!
