Criminals are criminals. If they commit a murder (not aggrevated), rape, or rob with weapons and injure bystanders, they are usaully let out within 30 years. Why?
Once a thief, always a thief. This is true despite whatever bullcrap you religious people would like to say. This is human nature. If they have commited violent crimes before, they will do it again. So why not give EVERYONE who kills, rapes, or commits grand theft, the death penalty? It's cheaper, safer, easier, and prevents crime. If you know the penalty for murder is death, you wouldn't do it. But now, if you kill, you only get 25+ years. You are willing to do it.
Also, this would decrease black crime rates, since they are not scared of time, but of death. Their average lower IQ than other races cannot make them realize not to commit violent crimes, and so this death threat will be able to persuade them. (If you would like to argue that blacks are not dumber on average, I have 2 papers to prove you wrong).

You should make your mind up about the death penalty based on solid facts. Here are a couple, sourced and verified-
Re: cost
The death penalty costs far more than life in prison. The huge extra costs start to mount up even before the trial.
Re: Race
The death penalty is racially biased, but not in the way you may think. The death penalty is twice as likely to be sought in cases where the victim was white than in cases where the victim was not white.
Re: Deterrence
The death penalty isn’t a deterrent. Murder rates are actually higher in states with the death penalty than in states without it. Moreover, people who kill or commit other serious crimes do not think they will be caught (if they think at all.)
I also think that your comments are racist, intended or not.

I think the Justice system is much to forgiving, and certainly not tough enough on all the above stated criminals.
I suspect you have personal reasons why the last paragraph is stated as it is, I would like to see the 2 papers that prove you are right. Post them, maybe we can all be enlightened.

besides the undeniable fact that we are no longer meant to judge others for his or her sins, specifically, considering we are all sinners, i trust it is suggested that God helps the governments and persons in potential to be in potential so as that society would properly be managed. Jesus can forgive a assassin, and we do not have any actual to sentence a assassin to hell if he has commonplace that forgiveness, besides the undeniable fact that it is a Christian idea that our authorities continues to be empowered to substantiate that the guy would not homicide each and each and every individual else.

Because of the bleeding heart liberals, and the ACLU. The criminals have all the rights in this country and the person who obeys the law is left out of the equation of society. I LOVE this Country, do not get me wrong, but it is too lenient on the idiots who commit crimes.

we don't have all the space or the money to incarcerate all the offenders.
