You said: "If you do not want to suffer in jail, do not be a criminal." How right you are.<BR/><BR/>Since all states now have life in prison without parole, there is effectively no need for the death penalty, as you can guarantee the removal of a dangerous individual from society by imprisoning the convicted.<BR/><BR/>Study after study has shown that execution has no deterrent value, so there is no convincing rationale beyond bloodlust to kill a human being. Jail is deterrent enough, and removes the guilty from the streets. <BR/><BR/>I couldn't agree with you any more -- if you do not want to suffer in jail, do not be a criminal. And if you want to be civilized and moral, do not kill people -- by knifing them, shooting them ... or lethally injecting or electrocuting them.Itchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964967274527279113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140359640502106156.post-243618667589245022009-03-09T20:39:00.000-04:002009-03-09T20:39:00.000-04:00I cannot believe that so much is written about the...I cannot believe that so much is written about the rights of these murderers, when the reason why they are in death row is the horrible crimes committed against innocent citizens. The day all criminals are executed, is going to be the day that justice will be served. It is my opinion that those that commit a crime should not be given a second opportunity to victimize another person. We need more judges that will impose a punishment that will fit the crime; it is the victim, and not the criminal that we need to remember. The solution is, if you do not want to suffer in jail, do not be a criminal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
