Deathrow Inmate: "I'm too fat to execute."

The death penalty is wrong. They should have death row inmates fight to the death gladiator style. That way tax payers who are paying for this get something in return, entertainment.GettingTired

Now there is an American Gladiators I'd watch.

As soon as you take somebodies life then you have given up every human right you have, including the one to life. That's what I think anyway.

I'd say that was circumstantial.

I think in order for the death penalty to truly work every case has to be looked into in a lot of detail and prisoners on Death Row must be checked in on regularly. There is room for redemption in everyone, and if someone is on death row for 5 years, and they see their wrongs and a jury or whatever believe that they truly have changed they should have their sentence cut to life in prison.

I disagree. It doesn't matter if they're sorry. Sorry doesn't bring somebody's life back. They did the action and should suffer the consequences.

So by that, if a woman murders her abusive husband, would you say she should go straight to Death Row?

If a person is on meth and out of their mind and they stab someone to death, should they go straight to Death Row?

If someone who is mentally impaired kills someone, should they go to Death Row?

Of course, I'm not going to, nor am I here to, change someone's views. I'm just interested to know what you think...

Yep. Someone who took an innocent life does not deserve to be a part of our society.

how so?

I think it would be worse punishment for criminals to have to spend the rest of their lives in some horrible prison than die.

Hmm I suppose I should have re-phrased that. Obviously in those circumstances it would be wrong, they were either defending themselves or don't have the mental capability to think their actions through. I think they should go to prison but not be sentenced to death. When I talk about the death penalty I mean people who rape and murder people, just for the **** of it. Those people have no right to live.

And to the person who says "Let them rot". They won't. Prison is far too cushy nowadays.

Personally I find the death penalty a very strange subject. There are certain people who deserve it. People who habitually kill and have no remorse, e.g. Ted Bundy. People who will never be able to function with others in a non violent way.

However, some people for example rob an off licence or something and shoot and kill the clerk. With something like that, I think it is more a caught up in the moment issue, and sometimes things can go wrong. A long jail sentence for people like that is appropriate, rather than simply killing them.

Also, if a murder causes so much pain for a family, why would they wish that on another family. I have never understood that, say a father of two is murdered by another father or two. If those children experience the pain of such loss, and it is unbearable, why would you wish it on the innocent family of the guilty killer.

For me each situation has to be looked at in depth, but that is just me.

I do however think a revamp of the prison system is in need. I wouldn't call prison cushy at its maximum level, the number of suicides within the prison system make that clear, but still, television and such shouldn't be allowed. The maximum level of prison should have most privileges taken from them. Then it can become a truly viable action for very violent offenders.

I agree that capital punishment is most usually unconstitutional. Unless a convict poses a direct threat to the American people while in police custody, then I prefer life imprisonment.

My father proposed to me at a young age that we imprison these men in small, dark cells, removed from human contact for the rest of their lives, save for a television that plays the convict's sentencing on an infinite loop. I proposed it seriously in a class on social studies, and the teacher laughed.

Progress is slow.

That would be cruel and unusual punishment, sorry to say. That would definitely cause severe mental and physical problems.

[QUOTE="Whicker89"]Murder doesnt stop murderclicketyclick

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Executing a murderer effectively stops them from murdering again far better than a 15 year sentence with parole does.

Yeah, but I doubt your going up for parole if you raped and killed 2 women.

Perhaps. My father is conservative on most issues, so I suppose he saw the loop as a way of compensating for the lack of death.

Either way, placing the ability to put civilians to death in the hands of the federal government is a very grave authoritative power indeed. Though I would sooner see it abolished than enforced like a three-strike law, I acknowledge that some convicts could be reasonably and constitutionally killed (i.e. Charles Manson). This is highly rare, though.

Agreed. And if people want those criminals to "suffer", putting them in a a containment center for the rest of their life is more satistfying than making him die and "getting it over with", so to speak.

I think we should just shoot them. It's so much cheaper. It's not like anyone is gonna miss someone who raped a dozen women anyways.

That's why they shouldn't be allowed to appeal more than once or twice. If you killed 2 or more women or children you should automatically get hung the day after you are convicted.

I find it intersting that anyone would even bring tax dollars into this. Of all the unconstitutional programs funded by our government, imprisonment is one of the few left that still holds ancient legality.

If you want to pay less taxes, abolish the welfare state, infrastructure budget, and surveillance cache. The incapacitation of criminals should be left alone.

You people can be so STUPID sometimes! Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines murder as the following:

Murder- the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with deliberate intent or design.

The guy is being killedlawfully so it is not murder like you think it is.

Don't forget staying warm in cold weather! loljkbbq

His reasons are absurd, though. A man who weighed over 300 pounds made the same claim in Florida long ago (because they still hanged murderers). The rope snapped his neck cleanly and efficiently, like any other convict.

Execution upon conviction. I've always been for that as well.

I was thinking the same thing after reading through the whole article.

What ever happened to beheading? ahriman2

The blade would probably just get lodged in his layer of blubber and he wouldn't die anyway.
