Tuesday’s events were catastrophic, to say the least. The impact on this Nation and the world is deeper than we can ever imagine. All lives have been changed by these horrific events and that in itself is an under statement.

I love to see the red, white and blue hanging off of porches, stuck onto bumpers of vehicles and worn on clothing of young and old. It’s national pride, something we have been missing in this nation for a while. Many of you have now changed your signature pics and have patriotic sayings in your statuses and in the text of your signatures. I find this a beautiful thing regardless of why we have united. The fact remains we have united. You are all ready to support a war that we, as a nation, are about to embark on and support is a good thing.

However, I must ask how many of you are for the death penalty and how many are against it? I don’t understand how all of the individuals who are anti-death penalty activists suddenly have no problem in shouting, “bomb them” on nationwide television. Perhaps, now you can understand why we, who are pro-death penalty, feel the way we do or perhaps you are just hypocrites, who have no problem eliminating a man, a group or a nation because it happens to be related to something that has affected you personally.

What are your thoughts?

I've always have believed that the death penalty should remain, but there should be tighter rules. There have been too many stories of inmates on death row getting freed due to DNA testing.

For all I care, lynch the bastards that did this off the Tower of Liberty.

I am completely for the death penalty, unless of course your name is John Doe and it is just part of your ultimate plan.

I completely agree with you Fez, that is why I just hope we, as a nation, do the right thing and not go out and begin killing anyone and everyone who gives us a dirty look. It would be a sad day to realize we let the guilty free and killed the innocent, much of which is done in jails and prisons through out this nation.

Generally speaking I do not agree with the death penalty. I cannot justify a death for a death, but that's just my opinion. However there are definitely exceptions and this is one of them. The people responsible for this should not only be put to death but they should experience every ounce of pain and suffering they have bestowed upon us. But, it needs to be done within the rules of our justice system. We cannot let these bastards get away with this but we also cannot stoop to their level


And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Good point Ikea. That's exactly the reason I made this thread. I am just curious to know how many hypocrites are among us, regarding this particular issue.

I'm against the death penalty for Bin Laden, for the simple reason that a lethal injection is way too easy. I say we throw him in the worst prison in America, and let the inmates have their way with him. If thestate executes him, he'll just become a martyr. If inmates kill him by tearing his rectum open and letting him bleed to death, that will be all good IMO. As for all his camel fucker lackeys, I say rip them apart limb by limb, and kill them that way.

Death's good, for starters.

As for death penalty for regular State, Local and Federal courts...I tend to lean toward Federal only, and only in case of great harm. Prison is part rehabilitative, besides punishment, unless we change that (seperate those that rehabilitate, and those that purely hold guttertrash of society), I do not support the death penalty in court cases, b/c ultimately I don't trust that system to choose who lives and who dies.

i am against the death penalty for not the reason that it is not right to kill. But it is too easy and for some it is what they want. Do you think we punished Timothy McVeigh? He wanted to die because he felt he was a martyr and people who believed in his cause feel he was martyred. Let him rot in jail let him be dealt with by prisoners. You may think that prisoners are heartless and i agree they are scum but look what happened to Dahmer that was suffering, let them spend decades in fear and be beaten and raped. Death is the end all after 40 years in jail death will be what they will pray for but won't get until god chooses to take them.

Hypocrite checking in.

Yes, Im against the death penalty. And, yes, I am for killing bin Ladin. I guess I should stand up for bin Ladin's right to life but something keeps me from doing it.

I am and always have been for the death penalty. I am sick of having my tax dollars go to supporting a convict and keeping him fed and clothed. I have my own kids to think about. Our prisons are also suffering with overcrowdedness. Let's rid this planet of the unproductive, dangerous members of our sad society.

well don't get me wrong bin ladin should not be tried in a court of law fuck that he is not some murderer off the street who shot someone or even a ted bundy or charles manson. I was making my point for regular criminals, bin ladin is satans spawn incarnate. He must be killed and his followers and anyone who supports him no trial no rights. His rights along with everyone elses went down with those towers. The nose end of a scud missle should be his judge, jury and executioner.

That's the difference. This 'trial" will not be conducted in a court of law. This is war. Two separate issues.

It does not mean that wanting appropriate revenge makes those ooposed to the death penalty hypocrites.

I had to expand on my last response.

I'm against the death penalty. I personally feel that if you execute people you are no better than those who committed the crime for which they are being executed. The Society in which we live in must be greater than "the sum of its parts."

But also, and more importantly to me, if we get even 1 one wrong, it's 1 to many for me.

But that doesn't mean I sometimes don't wish death on people who commit heinous crimes. But in the end, I stick to my beliefs. It helps knowing that a life in prison is a great punishment.

But, this is different. It's an act of war. Within Society, the death penalty is an act against the Society for which I believe in. In an act of War, it's an attack against the Society I care deeply for

Although I am pro Death Penalty, I would not call people who are against the death panalty hypocrites. As insectsgotme stated, there is a difference between someone going through our criminal justice system and a declaration of war. Since it appears that Congress will declare war, that means everyone who is against us is fair game. In this situation, the Death Penalty is not relevant.

The argument has been brought up many times that it costs more to execute a criminal than it does to keep him alive.

Good. At least im getting the most out of my Tax Dollars.

That is an argument that, I think, is borne from anti-death penalty rhetoric.

Logically, there is no way it can be cheaper to house a criminal than to kill him.

Personally, I think it's a "bend the statistics to suit my point of view " kind of number.

The death penalty. I agree with it. In cases of course, when we absolutely KNOW that a person is guilty. As brutal as the DP is, I think sometimes it is a just solution. The DP has been a way to weed out other criminals, but There are some that the DP is too good for, Bin Laden and his little savage drones.

#1) The DP is just WAAAAYYY too fucking easy. He should die the same way all of those innocent American's did. In a horrible violent act. I agree on the with JAIL. Put the motherfuckers in Gen. Population. Let's see how powerful Bin Laden is, and how he pray's to Allah for mercy when he's tossed into prison, and other inmates are eye-balling his narrow tail. Daily ass rapings along with all the other things those animals do to each other, is only the tip of how he should spend the rest of his miserable, pathetic, life.

#2) Djgggrl mentioned our tax dollars. I 100% agree. I hate the fact that I work hard every day at a job I despise so that some criminal minded ass-wipe, gets served 3 squares a day, an education, and a roof over thier head. They dont deserve that. I think in certain cases, there should be no funding for any type of incarceration (SP)?. If you are a repeat offender of horrible crimes, you DIE in prison. Lacking all luxuries, and things that you need to live. Throw em' a scrap of bread, and let them fight it out. Afterall, those criminals deprived somebody innocent from food, sunshine, smiles of thier loved ones, laughs, happiness and any of the small things that we all take for granted on a daily basis. FOREVER.
If you dont pay, you dont live. If you dont have the $$ to pay for your jailtime, odds are you won't BREAK THE LAW!!! In Bin Ladens's case, seeing as he is a millionare, we take all his money, and give it up to either the military, or the families of victims, so he CAN'T pay. Wouldnt it be nice to know that all of his dirty $$ is going into totally leveling the country that harboured him??

I know my ideas are harsh, and even a tad unrealistic,but crime, and crimes against other humans has been something that I have been seeing SO much of for too long.And always feeling that there was never enough done to discourage it. Prison right now isnt prison at all, allot of these nmates look at as a way to sit back until they can get out and offend again.I am SO sick of motherfuckers that think they can do what they want, to who they want, when they want, And then have the stones to say; "Why am I being tried for murder?" , or; " I am not treated fairly in prison!". It's time to weed out all threats to society, big fish , small fish. White, Black, Asian, ALL threats.

We just need to deal with this fucking anti-christ Bin-Laden on a whole other level. Either throw em' in Jail and let em' rot, or let em' suck on a bomb.We need to show the world what american balls feel, smell and taste like.
