Yes, I'm a serial killer, I made 47 mistakes. Let me free so I can live my life and try not to make any of those mistakes again. You've all made mistakes, you judges and jurors. Why am I the only one in this room being locked up for mine? Let ye without sin turn the key on my lock.

How is killing him granting anyone justice? Is he going to continue his killing spree in jail? How can you be so sure that he is truly guilty that you would take his life for his alleged actions? How are you any better than him when you're just as willing to kill as he is?
Killing him grants justice to society and those who loved his victims. Do you think he won't kill in jail, do you think jails are not a violent environment? It would proof beyond a reasonable doubt backed by evidence and expert testimony that would prove he is truly guilty and therefore elgibile for this punishment. His execution would be carried out inside the scope of the law, not a crime directed at an unsuspecting and innocent victim.
But there is healthy and self loving and ill and self hating and there imust be all the difference in the world in the way that that feels.
Is killing him granting anyone justice?
Ask the families of the victims. Some say yes, some say no.
Yes, He can certainly continue his killing spree in jail. It happens.
How can you be so sure that he is truly guilty that you would take his life for his alleged actions? Nothing is 100% certain in life. A single electron can become positive for a split second in time before the universe rights itself. So we have a system set up that is not perfect but nothing is. It needs to be tweaked and improved just like every system we have in place. Thats life. nothing is 100% certain.
How are you any better than him when you're just as willing to kill as he is?
We are all humans and equal, I'm no better than you and no better than a killer, I'm just as willing to kill someone in order to protect my family if threatened by a killer as I am sure you would be. These killers are not monsters but human beings, and we shouldn't think we are above them, too above to degrade ourselves to their level because we are all at the same level.
But these people broke the law, laws that are agreed by the leaders that the majority of us have chosen. The punishment is set as death or life imprisonment. That is our system, that is our society, thats how we agree to live by staying in the US.
So now answer the hidden question in my first reply. Using your reasonings, explain why we should lock up anybody for any crimes? After all they are just making mistakes, and everyone makes mistakes. How are the judges and the jurors in any position to lock up someone for a mistake when they've all have done mistakes in their lives?
How is justice ever served by killing? How does one more person dying give justice to anyone's family? If it does, how is that family any better than the one being executed? Our government cannot pretend that it can mete out retribution for crimes, nor should its subjects desire it to do so. Retribution is not justice, nor can capital punishment be claimed as true retribution.
Sure, that's the law of the land. However, if I find the law of the land to stand in contradiction to reason, I am obligated, as a citizen interested in justice for all, to try to change it.
There is a great discontinuity between imprisonment and execution. If you would deprive anyone to their inalienable right to life, I require 100% certainty that they did whatever you claim that they did. I would further require that you somehow demonstrate that whatever crime they committed would somehow be rectified by their execution, that their execution would deter future criminals from committing the same act, or that the criminal somehow be 'rehabilitated' by his exection, as these are the three just reasons for punishment. Studies have shown definitively that capital punishment has no effect on relevant crime rates, so it's clearly not deterring anyone. Obviously, he who is executed is not rehabilitated. Finally, no crime can be made right by executing the perpetrator. It might make someone feel better, but that doesn't mean it's just.
In short, wrongful imprisonment is a terrible thing, but wrongful execution is even worse.
Personally, i don't really feel to bad for them. Heck, I would MUCH RATHER be killed with an easy and painless death than to sit in a dark cell knowing I will never get a chance to be free again.
I would say the death penalty, in my eyes, is an easier punishment that life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Wow, by the responses here it looks like the same people attend "John Kerry Group Therapy" meetings. It's called "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Murderers, rapists, serial grand theft offenders, etc. deserve death. Quit feeling sorry for them and think about their victims for once. Can we judge others? Yes. Can we put them to death? Yes. I'm very pleased that our president was governor of the state with the most executions. Justice is served.
Jesus' teachings was far from letting rapists, murders, and thieves roam around and continue in their set ways....
correct, which is why i said life in jail for first degree murderers
jesus was also FAR from executing ANY sinners, including murderers
Sodom & Gamora? There were several places in the bible where Jesus instructed people to protect themselves, and a lot of the time that was meant by purposely killing their opponent, a good example is David and Goliath.
Also, my sig is a bit old, but still true.
I dont think they should get shit.........
One 9mm round in the head will save billions of tax money used to house and feed them.......

A say "a tooth for a tooth", How is death for Grand Theft Auto "tooth for tooth"? What if the rest of the world decided to place "tooth for a tooth" with the US, and your wackjob presidency? I bet you'd be the first in the line of excusers.
OK...so its wrong to kill...taking a life is wrong
what about killing someone who cant fight back? Like an unborn child? I guess thats OK...right?

In our hate for the other we see the hate we have for our self, for they are the same and identical thing.
Yes its true that the three reasons you stated all have holes in them. Especially the one about executing criminals will deter future criminals from committing serious crimes. Thats bull to me. As you require 100% certainty that they did whatever the gov. claims they did, I only require a 100% certainty that they would never commit multiple murders again. Which is done by execution.
Which is why I feel that execution should be be legal punishment for serial killers and should be kept. If a person kills one person in a fit of rage and gets life, i'm fine with that. He will have the rest of his life to mull over his crime. He might also be rehabilitated, theres a chance there. But if you lock up a serial killer for the rest of his life, is there any chance he would ever regret his killings? I don't think so, I think when you killed so many people, you've already gone past the point of caring. I don't think its ever possible to rehabilitate a serial killer.
i cant say i agree...killing is wrong
i do agree with birth control...seems like a cheaper way to go

Preventing murders is done equally well by locking them up for life. The death penalty costs more money than life in prison, so even if you don't give a rat's about the person, look at it from a financial standpoint.

Screw that what about boiling them in oil? Or burning them at the stake? Remember those good ol days???
Yeah, I feel bad too. But, I really feel bad about some of these idiots spend 10-15 years on death row. Some of them die before they even make it... It takes too long.
I think we should be removing fingers for stealing. 3rd time you lose a pinky on the right hand... 3rd time you flick that friggen cig out the window you lose a pinky on the left hand...
You'd see theft and littering come to a stop pretty damn quick if we forced these kind of things. Hell, if you do it the second time it's public canning time! Yeah! Whooo! We are WAY ....WAY tooo soft....

I like the way you think

your damn right...no more roadside cleanup
