[color:"orange"] You cannot allow a murderer or a rapist come back to society, and the taxpayers are not willing to pay for them either. [/color]
Actually, it costs significantly more for the government to kill someone in the US than to imprison them for life (Costs of the Death Penalty). In Canada the murder rate dropped slightly after capital punishment was abolished, and the conviction rate in murder trials for the next decade doubled.
Yes, you might be right about that. But imo, that shouldn't be soo expensive. How come that every taxpayer sees his money going down the drain because we have the bad luck that there are soo many criminals locked up? I didn't read the whole article you posted, but I don't understand how a deadly shot or the electric chair can be more expensive then leaving a man in prison for years, feeding, washing, medical treatments, the few luxeries some get? This must cost a fortune for one prisoner/year. Anyway, we can discuss about this for years and years. And most of these prisoners get out of jail anyway after a certain amount of years, for good behavior. THAT is really what makes system of soo called "justice" soo wrong. No one should leave prison earlier for good behavior, you have to pay for what you have done, no mercy for that.
[color:"orange"] For some folks, I would agree to bring back death penalty [/color]
For some folks, a quick death is too merciful.
That is also true, and believe me, some folks I would torture to death if I could, but wont that makes us as bad as the criminal himself? It would lower us to the level of worms and insects. I'm glad I'm no judge or executioner, I don't have the stomac to do that kind of a job. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />
