Absolutely, I think that the death penalty should be enforced. I think that the laws are not harsh enough and too many people get away with crimes because our capital punishment system is too weak. If these people are murderers, rapists, or child molesters; they should die a painful death. I have absolutely no sensitivity toward these people and I think that we are too easy on them.
I think that lethal injection is ridiculous. What these people did to deserve the death penalty caused great pain and suffering, not only to the victim, but to the loved ones of the victim as well. I don’t think any murderer, rapist or child molester was ever “humane†about the crimes that they committed so why should we be delicate with their publicly administered death penalty.
I am all for the death penalty, hands down. These people are disgusting to me and I don’t think they deserve any kind of consideration to their feelings, lives, or deaths for that matter; after all, do you really think that they would do (or did) the same for their victims? I say we burn them alive for all I care.
When I hear people feeling sorry for a person that is given the death penalty, I laugh. It is sickening to think that anyone would have any sympathy for these people. In the Supreme Court case, Kennedy vs. Louisiana, the state court ruled that (short of first degree murder) there is no crime more deserving of death because of the harm rape inflicts upon a child. Why should these people be even extended the right of the eighth amendment? Criminals of that magnitude should not have any rights whatsoever. If those who have had committed a felony have no right to vote; then I believe those that commit these heinous crimes should have no right to live.
When it comes to the twisting of the eighth amendment, these people, for the lack of a better term, “get away with murderâ€. The gravity of the offense should match the harshness of the penalty. Sometimes it is hard to define...
