HERE'S WHAT I THINK

 

In certain circumstances, I believe capital punishment should be an option.

Specifically, crimes that were witnessed and confessed to, if the person is found guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt, and the crime is violent and fatal, such as rape and murder.

Confessed pedophiles should have the option to choose the death penalty for themselves -- how many have to admit they KNOW they will offend again when released, before we stop releasing them?

YOUR TURN! 

The death penalty has its merits.

Yes, you're right!

The epidemic: repeat offenses.

Over 70% of violent crimes are committed by repeat offenders. Abduction, assault, rape, torture, manslaughter.

They get released early to make room for incoming repeat offenders, and the cycle continues.

Break the cycle, save a life. Make the punishment fit the crime.

I think I summed up my stance on this issue pretty well, don't you? If you are tried and convicted of rape and/or murder of a child (12 or younger) you should die. F**k your rights. You want rights? Don't touch a kid.

There are far more dangerous, lethal and addictive drugs that pose a much greater risk to our lives and safety -- and those of our loved ones -- that should be focused on and eliminated from the community. (image from burningbus.com)
