Let's start executing criminals in the electric chair who commit capital offenses?

great idea!

I believe in the death penalty to an extent. The drug addict who panics during a robbery and shoots the clerk should spend life in prison.

The calculating killer deserves death.

The death penalty is not a deterrent. It doesn't scare criminals. Executing bunches will solve nothing other than removing several threats.

Florida is undesirable at electrocution. Jesse Tafero continued a foul execution which became into the muse for the execution of Eduard Delacroix in Stephen King's novel "the golf green Mile". Pedro Medina, additionally in Florida, became into mentioned by ability of employing witnesses to have had flames capturing 3 ft into the air for the period of his execution. Allen Lee Davis is the guy who bled, and there are photos of his physique although strapped into the chair after his execution obtainable on the innovations superhighway. probable the main undesirable from my suggestions-set is Willie Francis, a 17 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous black little ones who the Louisiana government did no longer kill on their first attempt because of the reality the executioners have been below the impression of alcohol and did no longer connect the portable electric chair up proper. Francis survived to tell his tale yet merely for a 300 and sixty 5 days, and then he became into strapped into the chair back and this time the State of Louisiana controlled to kill him. No state although makes use of the chair because it is everyday attitude of execution despite if inmates in some states which contain Tenessee and South Carolina ought to settle on for to die in this way. The inmate's head and leg is many times shaved previous to execution and a substance mentioned as electrogel is utilized to the calf and head to help conduction. A saline soaked organic and organic sponge is place indoors the metallic cap to help conduction. between the themes at Tafero's execution became into that guy made sponge became into used and this brought about the burning which he suffered.

The Death Penalty isn't a crime deterrent because its not done enough, it needs to be done for every murder. It needs to be done to rapist and child molesters.

Actually, the death penalty DOES deter crime. THAT person will certainly never hurt anyone again!

(But Sodomy? Gay folks will probably take issue with that one! Not that I am approving of the Gay lifestyle, mind you but -- isn't the death penalty a bit much??)

I agree we should after all whats the point of of sentencing someone to death for a capital crime only to house and feed them for the next 20 plus years. In my opinion we should line them up in front of a firing squad then send the family a bill for the bullets.

you do realize that's a tautology, right?

a capital offense is defined by being punishable by murder.

but either way:

you think wrong. the data show that places with the death penalty have higher, not lower, rates of violent offenses.

Sounds like a good idea to me.....everyone would have to

agree it deters any crime from the persons who are executed,

and saves taxpayer's money feeding and housing them for

years and years. Would that include Democrat's "hate speech" against Bush and General Petreaus?

I agree to some extent. In Texas, they have an express lane to the the electric chair. But in rare cases, their are indivuals who are actually innocent and 20 yrs later, DNA can prove it. But, a child molester should have a special chair! I agree!!!!

Where have you been. Some states still execute criminals in the electric chair.

Granted, we should use the punishment more, but I can see why some people fight it.

I agree completely, but I suggest lethal injection. If they act like a rabid dog, then put them down like one,. I particularly agree with the one about child predators... having been molested at 11 years old by a homosexual on my block and emotionally , mentally and physically scarred for life.
