Oh i get it now. You are trying to say Canada is superior. The innocent (a rarity) usually is a bad person with a long criminal record. And if your logic is correct then since there are some wrongly convicted we should let all go free . If one in 1,000 is innocent then 1,000 (minimum ) victims get justice. I can live with 1,000 to 1 odds. Even if i were the 1. |

It sickens me to see the blood lust the public has. I just hope some of the pro death penalty people get a chance to find themselves in court wrongly accused and get the dp. |

I think its pointless that tax payers pay to keep low lifes in prisons, but I don't think capital punishment is the answer.
As you said, if 1 innocent person is executed its proven the system doesn't work. Someone who has been locked up will never get those years back but can at least have a future if proven innocent. |

YES However the majority of Americans favor capital punishment This is a fact not an opinion My opinion is who do we think we are to take a life |

How about we release a Death Rown inmate to your care, and you have to be responsible for him and his every move 24/7, including clothing, feeding, and housing him? Let us know how well you sleep at night. |

I don't believe that it is a matter of innocence. How many people have been executed for crimes they have committed but were completely remorseful at the time of their execution. Is one life really more valuable than another? What does taking one's life really solve? Lock them up but do not rob them of the opportunity to atone for what they have done. We need to do more as a society to help guide people away from landing in prison. Has there been any indication that fear of execution or even incarceration has been effective in fighting crime? |

I challenge you to name the person, state they were executed in, time of said execution, and location of said proof of execution. If you can't ask a more intelligent question next time!! |

People have been railroaded to the death chamber.
By politicians looking for votes.
And by prosecuters looking for prestige.
Anybody that believes all the people in prison are guilty and all the people thus far executed deserved that fate are NAIVE.
A lot of Americans like nothing more than killing somebody.
Makes them feel righteous.
They don't really care if the person is guilty or not.
Its irrelevant.
So long as somebody is being killed.
That is what appeals to them. |

it is all created by people that control 80% of everything else. CP is not a revenge technique, it is a population decreasing technique |

What about the one innocent person who is killed by the person who is not executed ? what do you tell thier family.
It is a no win opportunity |

No
I think if you lock a person up for life by mistake it is just as bad. You can't give them the time back. |

There's no such thing as an "innocent" human being, and we should all be executed for infesting the planet;) LOL |

Only the executed know for sure. Maybe them and God. We will never know. But I'll tell you what, I would rather have Berkowitz, Manson and the like dead before they roam our streets again. Really. |

I say yes - if one innocent person dies as a result of capital punishment than we are all, to an extent, guilty for their death. Unfortunately, others feel a persons life is a small price to pay for the momentary excitement of revenge.
No I'm not a "liberal." Just speaking my mind. |

exicution is not the fault, it was the lawyers , prosicutors judges, doing a hurry up job, so they all could get home early.
A person on trial for his life, and media points out that evedences that ought come to light, that would prove him possably innocent, are ignored, blocked or thrown out, shows just how much of a joke our system has gotten to be. |

Why dont we just get rid of prisons all together then? |

Unfortunately this happens but it is well worth the price. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Our law system is not perfect but it's getting there. |

Eye for an eye is just fine with me....it spares our tax dollars paying for a murderer's upkeep in prison.
Besides...it not as though innocent people aren't put away wrongly in any other countries either, huh?
Also...how many lefties who claim to be so anti-capital punishment would make an exception for our sitting President that they rabidly hate so much????? You can't have it both ways, kiddies. |

No, and its too bad you don't apply the same logic to our
soldiers, when they lose their life defending our freedoms. |
