So, after being a victim of crime for the second time in 6 months, and third time in 3 years (bank fraud, car theft, and my car was just broken into over the weekend), I'm trying to figure out a way to "solve" the crime problem in the US. My thought is a two strikes and your dead program for crimes that violate the rights of other people. Offenders who commit crimes that illustrate disrespect and disregard for the rights and property of their fellow citizens forfeit their right to live in our society, and rather than waste time and tax dollars keeping them locked up, after a second offense they should be summarily executed by firing squad (and their family billed for the bullets). Punishments for a first offense should be relatively mild, emphasizing rehabilitation and instilling a respect for the rights of others (as well as knowledge of the consequences of contining a life of crime). What do other people think of such a program?

Property is not worth a life.
As for your program - I think you are in need of a) relocation or b) medication.

Why not just make convicts have the same status as slave instead of killing them. They can give something back to society while truly paying for their crimes. If they refuse to work a shock collar or belt might be in order.

Sounds like it should work, but, the ACLU would be all over it like stink on poop. I'm not for killing someone over such things, but, put them away or send them to a country that works under those rules maybe? Iraq, Iran? Other terrorist places. They would fit right in.

Your kind of off your rocker. Is car theft worth sombody's life I don't think so. Your just as petty as some of the crimes you have mentioned

I think two dumb questions and you are dead is more realistic.
