greywolf Posted May 17, 2006 #76 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) unfortunately i know about this subject too well.my mother and sister were both murdered in 1981.my personal choice for execution would be to put me in the cell with him for 5 minutes.i don't agree with the bleeding hearts who say that execution is inhumane.bulls**it. i guess shooting my mom and sister in the head while my sister was holding her 10 month old daughter was humane?no,killing him won't bring them back,but it sure would make me feel better to watch him fry.it's bad enough to lose a loved one by natural causes,but this pain runs deep.

So sorry to hear about this. I agree with you totally. My dad was shot in 1993. He lived thank goodness but he's had many health problems since. He's a cop and for weeks I had to listen to the stongest man I ever knew scream on the radio for help because he'd been shot because the local news played it over and over. Revenge is sweetest when it's served up cold. We will have our day. I believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. My dad pulled over this guy because he had expired tags. The guy had been fighting with his wife so he thought he was being pulled over because she had called the police on him. My dad got to the window and BANG shot right in his stomach. He was in the hospital for months and ended up losing a kidney. That was in 1993 and he just recently had to have surgery again stemming from that 13 year old shooting! I get really mad when people disrespect police officers! Props to you Mr. Cop!!

R3LOAD Posted May 19, 2006 #80 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I can only pick one?! I chose hanging, but I am a firm believer in it being a public hanging. The death penalty should be legal every where and should be expanded to other crimes such as some sexual crimes. you really need a life buddy....wait till you see the fear in someones eyes while they die....then you wont be saying "I can only pick one?!" even if they commited a horendous crime...they are people like us, they too have feelings like ghandi said "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEY chose to commit a crime. The victim didn't choose to die. What about the fear in the victim's eye? Who looks at that?? The last person to see them was a cold blooded murderer. Murderers who kill without feeling are NOT just like us. Most of the time they are sociopaths and they contribute nothing but hate and pain to society.

Death Star III Posted May 20, 2006 #82 Share Posted May 20, 2006 i would chose lethal injection because it it the most instantantenious and it would be completly painless. ( not that all people desevre it it to be completely painless ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time they are sociopaths and they contribute nothing but hate and pain to society. Ive seen the fear in the victim's eyes believe me. and I was the last one to see them. I was with my friend, who by the way was a criminal and i was in a rough area of town.. a car pulled up along side us and shot him in the head and i got shot in the stomach. After you see your friends head wide open and know youll never get to know why..... you dont believe in death, you dont want anyone to die. I wanted to cause alot of pain to the man who shot him but i didnt want to ever see another person die. and please dont get smart with the "boo-hoo" with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about people who are victims who have chosen a decent life and have never hurt anyone? Why should the criminal get special treatment when the victim had to suffer?? How is that fair? I'm not getting 'smart' with you, it's just how I feel about criminal suffering. I don't care if they do suffer. I want the man that shot my father to suffer. I just do. He deserves it.

OldTimeRadio Posted October 26, 2006 #87 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I would prefer life without parole, but in the US (at least), that all too often means "at least not until the heat dies down." And what DO we do with the "lifer" who decides he now has the right to kill prison guards and other prisoners? Give him "life"? But didn't we already do that?

Seraphina Posted October 26, 2006 #89 Share Posted October 26, 2006 *doesn't even bother reading the thread, because she couldn't stomach all the rubbish from the bleeding hearts* Hanging. Doesn't take a lot of money, a rope can be reused with a minimum of preparation between prisoners...sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWeather Posted October 26, 2006 #90 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I voted hanging. People deserve to watch a mans/womans neck snap or be strangled until death, for killing an 'innocent' person. It'd be more humane and justice would have prevailed, for murdering someone who had done nothing but refused to give them money ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Soul Posted October 27, 2006 #91 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm not a firm believer in the death penalty, but i do think it should be introduced in only the most violent crimes, pedophilia, serial rape and serial killings. simply because the sicko's behind these aweful crimes i think are beyond rehabilitation.

OldTimeRadio Posted October 27, 2006 #92 Share Posted October 27, 2006 People often tell me that executing individuals such as John Gacy (34 murders) and Ted Bundy (up to 200) "doesn't in any way deter future killings." But it sure as heck deterred future ones by Gacy and Bundy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatofeo Posted November 1, 2006 #94 Share Posted November 1, 2006 You left out burning at the stake. I'm serious. Some crimes are so heinous that the criminal deserves burning at the stake. These crimes would include prolonged physical torture of victims before killing them, the torture and death of any child under 16, and the manufacture and wide distribution of some drugs (methamphetamine, heroin, crack cocaine come to mind, because of the rampant misery and death these drugs bring). Here's how I suggest it be done: The criminal would be chained to a central pole, sunk in the ground. Wood would be piled around him or her. The execution would take place in a very remote area, such as a vast desert in the Southwest. No audience or witnesses of any kind would be allowed at the site. Ignition of the wood would be by remote control. Let the criminal die totally alone, and in agony, without a single human eye to view him. This is important, so he does not see one iota of sympathy. The execution can be monitored by a select few, with remote video cameras, with the sound off. This is to ensure no one sneaks in to free him. A ring of law enforcement officers, a couple of miles away from the site, would keep the curious and sympathetic away. No one goes in over the next few hours. After a few hours, when the fire has cooled, what's left of the skeleton is retrieved. I have absolutely no sympathy for torturers, child murderers or those who manufacture or distribute drugs that cause murder, mayhem, ruin lives and destroy families and entire cities. Send such folks to Hell --- in searing flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are already ending the life of another human being. That is the ultimate punishment. Anything more and you are debasing yourself to the level of monster, and are no better than the ones you are punishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeRadio Posted November 1, 2006 #96 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) Besides, burning alive at the stake clearly runs afoul of the United States Constitution's prohibition against "cruel and unusual" punishments. Such living immolations were within the living memory of man at the time when the Constitution was framed, so it's almost a certainty that such anthroincinerations [hey, I think I just invented a word!] were very much in the framers' minds when they penned that prohibition.
