Quote:i also don't think that means these people should live in a cell that eats up our tax money and stuff. make them live like cattle being prepared for veal for all i care, just don't kill them. yes that will still cost money, but if we didn't have so many people in jail/courts for other things that i feel we shouldn't necessarily punish people for (ie common drug use) then it would free up resources for this. i know it gets more complicated then this as well, but remember, am i happy little idealist.I kinda have mixed feelings when it comes to the death penalty mostly because death, in those situations for some, can be (in an odd way) a 'gift.'
And I totally agree about letting them sit in jail and eat up tax payer dollars, too. I think they should be made to clean sewers or some undesirable job like that (kinda like the untouchables in India)..... OR the survivors of the victim should be the ones to torture and kill the murderer/perpetrator... something terrifying.
