Maybe we should take a lesson from the Saudis.....
This guy killed someone at an event, and ran off. Then, at another event, he kills two more, and runs off..... I am thinkin' he has had his chances.
Here though, a drunk driver can wipe out four people in one fell swoop, and get probation...... how is that in any way "Justice"?

The Justice System in this country is a joke.

Actually, statistics (yeah, I know....) show that the death penalty really isn't a deterrent.......
However...... once you whack someone dead, they are no longer a problem. How many times have you seen a report of an accident, with folks killed, caused by a drunk driver, that has done the same thing in the past? Had said drunk gotten the death penalty the FIRST time, it would not happen a second time.

It may not be a deterrent but it sure as hell would be a money saver...

And imagine the tax dollars that could be saved by implementing capitol punishment more frequently rather than letting them sit in prison living off the taxpayers, playing checkers, and watching the weather channel all day...Rapists, child molesters, murderers....give them all the juice in my opinion

What is the saying an "eye for an eye" Kill someone and you die as well, steal something loose a hand, next time you die. We coddle our criminals in my op.

There is a place for the death penalty.
But imo, there HAS to be ubdeniable proof that they are guilty. Modern techonology makes this a lot more reliable.
I personally dont think I could live with myself if I took the life of an innnocent person
Completly innocent people used to get locked up, and executed, before DNA got to wait it is today.
