Maybe I'd be in favor of the death penalty if we had a perfect judicial system with no flaws where all the guilty were definitely 100% guilty. But we dont, and because of that innocent people die. If 1 innocent man dies because of a flawed system, the system needs to be changed. |
I am in agreement with you fr0g...
The one thing that I always question myself on is 'WHat right do we have to decide who lives and who dies?' But then, nobody has that right, some people kill others and well, I find 'let the punshment fit the crime' decorum for a murderer... Like the thing I saw on TV where a nurse injected a 18 month old baby with a deadly dose of muscle relaxents in front of the babie's mother, telling the kids mother that it was her 'Rubella vaccine'... Sick fuck did that while the parent was holding her child... I dunno what to think of that... She comes up for parole ever two years and could be let out next may due to the overcrowded prisons in the USA.
Personally, ten minutes in a room with the victims family is enough punishment and if the fucker lives after that, they should get locked up and instead of coming up for parole every 2 years, how about every year on the anniversery of the victims death, the victims family get 10 minutes in a room with the killer... See how many years they can survive that.... If it was my kid... That would be apt punishment.
