I do, by hanging. Why waste our tax dollars paying to support a murderer in prison for life? Poll inbound.

Yes, because I'm not an inconsistent and hypocritical "pro-life" and "pro-death penalty" RR member.
|

I think drowning would have more consistent results. If you had an inversion table you could use a small vessel like a Homer bucket, cut down on wasted water. You put a couple rapists through that on NBC and people might think twice.
|
|
Nope. (Could support if there was always absolutely no possibility of a mistake, but since this isn't going to happen, no.)
|
|
I voted yes, but only when there is absolutely NO chance of innocence.

Yes, and it should be promptly carried out. None of the waiting years and years on death row wasting taxpayer dollars.
|
|
Yes, but not with endless taxpayer-paid appeals which take decades to resolve.
|
|
|
Yes. Some people just need killin; others forfeit their right to live through their actions.

|
|
Yep. We're gonna give 'em a fair trial, then we're gonna hang 'em!

It is complicated.
I support the death penalty in principle, but not so much in practice. I simply do not trust an imperfect justice system to hand out a death sentence, and get the verdict right 100% of the time. I also would not support abolishing the death penalty if there is no option of a life without parole sentence available. Yes, it means that there will be some serious scum who do time instead of fry as they deserve, but IMO, it is a better alternative to having potentially innocent people executed because of some overzealous DA or witnesses with an agenda. |

|
I support the death penalty, but I do not trust the government with relaxed conditions for it.
|
|
For violent crime, absolutely.
Eta...only in cases where there is undeniable proof of guilt. DNA rape evidence, multiple eye witnesses, video evidence and confessions. |

Either "every life is precious and a gift from God (who can forgive any sinner for any sin if he/she accepts him into their heart)" or "6 billion people is enough, and every special snowflake, whether 6 weeks old or 60 years, can die without affecting the world or human beings as a whole in any way". I'll take option B, please. Pro death is pro death. "Pro life" aka "anti-choice" is pro-life. |

Rehabilitation through reincarnation; let them experience the afterlife.

No. Too many people have been found innocent decades after being convicted.

View Quote The victims family should have the option of handling the execution how they see fit at the prison. Anybody that killed, raped or molested one of my family members would get the blood eagle. But unfortunately we live in a progressive run world that says we need to be concerned about the civil rights of murders, rapists and child molesters. |

not just yes, but fuck yes. it needs to be faster (process, no 20 years of appeals) and more painful, kill them the same way they killed their victim(s). charge them or their families for it if it costs anything.
|
|
|
In cases where the guilty party and their actions are proven beyond a doubt, certainly
Recent years where dozens of people have been released from death row based on improper convictions hasn't helped the cause of the death penalty |
|
In theory, yes.
In practice it kills too many innocent people. I'd rather see the victims have the option to sort it out mid-crime. |

Yes.
However, the number of innocent people who have ended up on death row is pretty disconcerting. |

That would really suck if you were one of these guys: http://www.innocenceproject.org/Content/The_Innocent_and_the_Death_Penalty.php We could fix that by giving the death penalty to people who falsely accuse others of murder and rape if the person is executed or make them serve the same amount of time in jail the accused spent. This includes the victim, over zealous detectives and over zealous prosecutors. |

From a pragmatic sense absolutely… from the perspective that looks and thinks the ignorant and negatively crazies are running the show…? No not at all.
