I'm glad to see so many people here who support the idea of the death penalty for serious crimes.
I'd like to see the use of the death penalty expanded to include habitual criminals.
Obviously, the crimes need to be of a serious nature, not just petty crime, but anyone who get the 3rd strike should just be executed because they've shown more than once that they aren't going to be rehabilitated and refuse to live within the laws of "polite society." Crimes that should qualify include; murder, assault with the intent to commit murder, burglary, armed robbery, rape, child molestation, DUI involving bodily harm to others (after the first offense) the list goes on and on and on....rebabilitate those who CAN be rehabilitated. Eliminate those who can't/won't be rehabilitated. They are a huge financial drain on society.
