Darn, I wasn't going to have a beer tonight but now I just might have one. I would go a little bit farther and allow death by torture for some of these SOB's.

No, I'm not for capital punishment, I'm for freezing capital criminals like in that movie with Sylvester Stalone where he is a cop and he is brought back to fight Leslie Sipes who was also frozen as a criminal. Or maybe . . . we should confine capital criminals forever within oscillating hoops on a sheet of rock rocketing forever throughout space, as in the Superman movie.
Just kidding . . . I strongly support capital punishment. You kill someone, you cannot make up for this. You have to surrender your life. Just my view, others may disagree.
What I have always thought was unfairare the states that have the death penalty, but don't ever execute anybodybut once in a blue moon. Not even that often.That has never made sense to me, especially when they have people on death row. That may sound like a joke, but to me that hinges on unethical. It is almost like picking a name out of a hat every 5 or so years and telling them they are the unlucky one.
At least in Texas if you aresentencedto capital punishment, you actually get it.

I like that idea if it were tweaked a little. Lets shorten the time frame between the lottery, make all on death row be present in little cells, and the lucky one instantly be taken to the death chamber and extinguished. I almost forgot, let's let MSNBC be there to video tape it and make another special about prison life.

Am tending to think that way myself.There are those notorious OK cases where innocent folks were sent to death row. Joyce Gilchrist was the Oklahoma City police forensics "expert."
"Jim Fowler has been struck twice by lightning. A retired house painter in Oklahoma City, Okla., Fowler lived through his 19-year-old son Mark's arrest in 1985 for murdering three people in a grocery-store holdup. Mark was sentenced to death. A year later Fowler's mother Anne Laura was raped and murdered, and a man named Robert Lee Miller Jr. was sentenced to die for the crime. The same Oklahoma City police department forensic scientist, Joyce Gilchrist, testified at both trials. But DNA evidence later proved she was wrong about Miller. He was released after 10 years on death row, and a man previously cleared by Gilchrist was charged with the crime. Fowler can't help wondering if Gilchrist's testimony was equally inept at the trial of his son Mark, who was executed in January."
Im not for it due to the cost. Not because of some moral issue, just the cost.
I don't know how much it cost, for the state of Texas to perform a lethal injection. I am pretty sure though, it would be much cheaper for a double tap behind the ear with a .22 LR. I think the state of Texas could even get citizens to donate the ammo, so that it really would'nt cost them anything to execute an inmate.
I would want the person being executed to be 110% guilty and the one whom comitted the crime, with no doubts. With that said, as long as that inmate was was givendue process, a fair trail, and appeals, I'd fine with it.
