"The death penalty," the officer says, "is nothing more than sending a defective product back to the manufacturer. Let him fix it."

I'm sooooo stealing that line!!

#3 Just remember the death penalty is carried out every day around us, in our streets, in our cities and towns, without any due process or appeal. Why do we lock our windows and doors? Why do we avoid certain parts of towns? Why do worry, when night sets in, where our children are at? Don't tell me the death penalty doesn't alter behavior because I still remember a time when the aforementioned questions needn't be asked.

#4 If the States continue their momentum to reestablish their authority in the face of the federal government, I hope that some State proposes to restore hanging as a form of execution, with the proposition that it is not a federal judges decision that they should be allowed to, or how they carry out executions.

If they're dead within a minute, that is good enough. If they're uncomfortable during that minute, too bad. It's not like they're going to remember.

#5 Agreed P2K. The death penalty in nature is the norm. The difference between the norm and the Death Penalty in the court system is that the sentence is weighed and contemplated by a number of individuals in a rational non-mob setting, and is not taken lightly in a civilized society.

It needs to be emphasized that alternatives to a death penalty are the norm in our epoch, but that the option is there; that is extrajudicial deaths without the threat of death itself do not necessisarily encourage, but undeterred will not alter behavior. And for those who do such heinous acts against innocents without thought of their own punishment and/or lives there is no going back, let'em appeal their case before Peter.

...anyone remember that jackass in Spain who, after serving his time, was walking the street and grabbed the ass of the girl he violently raped; she grabbed a can of petrol and burned him alive at the bar...the death penalty Option prevents a widespread execution of street justice by dads and other relatives.

#6 Executioner: Death by firing squad is '100 percent justice'

A "100 percent" effective recidivism deterrent as well.
