The last time I checked capital punishment was legal.

You know.. like abortion is legal..

Its funny how people pick and choose what legal acts they want to condemn and which they don't.

We're not really talking about laws here.It's about mentality. Why would this be be something to celebrate?

Most people don't think that killing other people is a really fun thing to do. Especially coming from the Party of "life".

Also, the story of Cameron Todd Willingham is very disturbing.

Since you don't hear it put this way I'll be the first, I am pro death...including abortion!

Because every execution is one less murderer and serial killer the American people have to deal with.

Are you sure about that? Just because 12 Texans say so? You had better study the case of Cameron Todd Willingham. Also, you should read John Grisham's last book. It tells us how innocent people get executed in strong death penalty states.

All that aside, I can see a sense of justice, a sense of ''it's something that had to be done", but a sense of celebration?! Cheers?!

Sounds to me like that's 234 people that were sentenced to the death penalty by their peers, that the taxpayers don't have to house feed and pay for. Apparently their appeals ran out or it wouldn't be constitutional.....would you feel different if anyone of those people murdered ur family?

death should not be celebrated, life should

death penalty doesnt bring back those who were killed, and keeping people imprisoned would do just as much to prevent those specific offenders from harming other 'innocent' lives...

I would find it freaky to hear people applaud at a doctors convention about how many successful abortions they had performed too,,, even though it could be argued that those were lives that wouldnt have to come here unwanted


but thats just me,,,



Im gonna revise this,, death should be celebrated as a passing into something better

violence and pain shouldnt be celebrated, and intentional actions which lead to death should not be celebrated,,,

Any who support the death penalty or facilitate it are as much the problem in this country as the criminals are. It is shows our human stagnation in intelligence. IMHO

It's a little bit more then that, nice try though. After the trial there is the sentancing phase THEN the judge has to decide if there is enough evidence THEN a number of differant appeals judges, prosecutors, supreme court justices and eventually the attorney general of the state, the parole and pardons board usually and then the Governor. Nice try to make it sound like vigilante justice there.........

As a taxpayer I don't want to pay to house, feed and provide medical for the animals for their rest of their life when it would be cheaper to give them a shot in the arm or a five cent bullet to the head.

Too bad it isn't cheaper huh?

That is a lie fed to keep people wanting to be animals like the animals they want dead.

Ok.. its about mentality.

I am sure that you can look back into past democratic debates or individual democrat speeches in which the issue of abortion was raised and when said candidate mentions their support of abortion rights you don't think there are cheers from the audience?

You want to talk about disturbing.. I suggest you take a look at what this recently executed dude did.

http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/statistics/deathrow/drowlist/leal.jpg


In case you don't want to look at it here is a brief summary..

Leal's brother arrived at the party and excitedly yelled that Leal had come home with blood on him and said he had killed a girl. Several of the party attendees went looking for Sauceda. They called police after they found her nude body on a dirt road. They observed that the victim's head was bashed in, bleeding, and that it was flinching or jerking.

The victim had been raped with a broken stick of lumber about 14 to 16 inches long, which was still protruding from her vagina. There was a gaping hole in her head from the corner of her right eye to the center of her head, and blood was oozing from the hole. There was a bloody rock by the victim's right thigh. Her left arm was under a chunk of asphalt weighing 30 to 40 pounds.

Does that rise to the level of what you would term disturbing?

Maybe they are glad that their tax dollars are not being used to fully house and feed radical criminals.

Life of a community.

When an individual harms the community in a grevious manner the community has a right (indeed a responsibility) to act in such a way as to remove the danger that the community be safe.

This is why Texas got applauded... Most states lean to far left of reality in the area of human rights.

i'm for the death penalty,
and i'm fine with abortion.
i still don't understand why one would celebrate death.
i don't care if it's hitler,
bin laden,
jesus,
or a random person who gets killed.
i imagine children;
when one gets in trouble and gets put in time out other kids will tease and be like, 'haha.'
ugh.
humans.

so hypothetically speaking if say someone raped and then killed your daughter you would celebrate the day they put a needle in his arm?

It doesn't matter. I would not want someone killed because my child was killed by them.

That is just stupidity. What does it do? Nothing. It cannot bring the child back. It cannot ease my suffering one bit. I would have to be sick of mind to wish death on another human regardless.

It would make me more like the killer and less like a decent human being to wish death on anyone.

Like I said before part of our problem in this country is that we haven't grown enough brain cells yet to realize we are not barbarians and animals. Imho people who support the death penalty bring this country down.

Not my community nor many other communities need a death penalty to allow sickos to be just as bad as the sicko who killed.

Not healthy for a community either. People who support this kind of action are not well themselves in my opinion.

It appears that Colorado is growing a brain. Our death penalty here is not used and will be gone soon enough.
