No, not really. And yes, the criminals get killed in the name of the people.
I think the four major problems with the death penalty are that it doesn't work as deterrant, that innocent people get killed or put on death row from time to time, that it is still extremely costy and THAT YOU ARE KILLING A ****ING HUMAN BEING!
I have never been entirley sure where I stand on this issue, but I think I have finally decided against it. Reason being, I do not believe in 'an eye for an eye', and innocent people have been put to death before, and quite possibly, innocent people still are on death row.
I think executing prisoners makes us no better than the criminals themselves...

Public whippings and public executions should be enforced, I believe. Rapists should be hung by their balls until they are dead, dead, dead.
People who victimise animals should be thrown into a tiger's pit. Thieves should have their fingers cut off.
I am not a tolerant person. I live in a country with one of the highest violent-crime rates in the world, and I figure if you want to act like a barbarian, then you should be punished like a barbarian.
People who try to rule by using fear and intimidation. by using violence and victimisation, should be punished using their own methods.
And as soon as I become ruler of the world, I GUARANTEE I will make this world a safer, friendlier place to live, work and raise a family in. Plus, I'll broadcast all the executions and punishments on live tv!
Just imagine how satisfying it would be to throw a convicted, multiple murderer into a pit filled with venomous snakes and scorpions!
What - tell me you won't turn on the tv to watch it...
I have some interesting ideas involving chainsaws as well...

Because then society (meaning, my family, friends and I) has to pay for your housing, your clothing, your food, etc.
Why should we? Executing you removes you out of the gene pool, which is a good thing, as it improves the overall strain. It also prevents you from escaping or being released on bail and doing exactly the same thing.
If you take a life, on purpose, you should lose your life. If you have no respect for life, why should you keep yours, at great expense to me?
If I could force you to do hard labour until you die, then at least I could some value out of you. But since I can't, it is the simplest and most effective solution to just remove you out of society - permanently.
Yes, it was on the History channel. And now we have an over population of prisons and private executions.
When it was public, people had the fear of god thrown in their faces. It made them think twice. Now, we just tuck it all away. Out of sight, out of mind.

Wait, it costs more to execute someone after conviction and appeals have run out than it does to keep them in the prison system the rest of their lives? That doesn't sound right. But if its true, then I would definitely have no reason for execution anymore and I would side with life imprisonment over execution.

There is no possible way that it can cost more, or even the same, to house, feed and clothe somebody for the rest of his life, which, depending on when he was convicted, could be for anything up to seventy years, than it would cost to give somebody a lethal injection or hang them by the neck until they are dead, dead, dead.
Like I stated previously, if we could get some value from these criminals, by making them do hard labour, then perhaps they would end up paying for their own keep. But hard labour seems to have fallen out of favour in our new feel-good, politically-correct, sentimental societies.
Why do I insist on perpetuating the cycle of violence? I don't. I propose to end it. Once and for all. The current prison systems are clearly failures.
In prisons itself, violence, sexual assaults and victimisation are prevalent. THAT is where the cycle of violence feeds upon itself. Therefore, I propose to cut it off at its source.
Why give the government power to kill its citizens? If you are a repeat sexual offender, if you are a multiple rapist or murderer, if you get your kicks by hurting, assaulting or murdering people trying to live peacefully in a productive society - THEN YOU ARE NO LONGER A CITIZEN.
You are a predator, preying on citizens who abide by all the rules, regulations and laws that a society consist of.
Since you are attacking society itself, then, you should be perceived as the threat to peace and stability that you are and eliminated, like any lethal threat to a living organism (which a society is).

He he. Damn, I would pay to see that broadcast live on tv! But we should be allowed to f@ck with their minds, while they are tripping, and then we should pass them chainsaws while playings some speed-metal...
A lot of people I know believe in the death penalty, and that eye for an eye shit. Apparently, because I'm against killing and any kind of punishment, I'm a nutcase. Anyway, the death penalty is wrong.
if money is all you consider than i think you are more hopeless than those who want to kill for revenge. in fact i would seriously question whether or not you have a soul
