Our prison system is such a mess that I don't know the answer. I think the death penalty is barbaric, and I think about the problems every time someone on death row is proven without a doubt to be innocent. I also can understand the anger toward the horrid criminals. But, then, without going into details... a close friend's young son was shot and killed, and my friend found peace in her heart and holds no malice toward the murderer. I really don't believe I could do as she has done.

I'm for capital punishment. It's not used enough. Too many appeals...especially when you know someone is guilty without a doubt.

I agree with all the appeals "if" and "only if" there is question.

I agree and when there's no doubt, justice should be swift and inexpensive.

Ron White said "Some states are trying to abolish the death penalty. My state (Texas) wants to put in an express lane". I say good for Texas.


I like the "express lane" idea if there is no doubt. Yep, good for Texas.

It's problem because, in a survey release this week, Oklahoma has the nation's highest rate of uninsured drivers. New Mexico shamefully came in second.

barbaric would be the horrendous things this man did to this baby. I read it. I have no sympathy for him.

According to the Daily Mail, he was putting on....acting like he was in pain before they'd even given him anything!

I believe anyone who kills someone deserves the same UNLESS it is proven they are mentally ill or they are a minor.

So I have no pity, sorry.

About money, I don't believe it costs more to kill them then to keep them in prison their entire life with free everything.

How would they know this?

They certainly couldn't ask him if he was in pain afterwards.

I would think the terror of being killed would make one behave in strange ways.

I hate this kind of tabloid reporting.

I guess we will never be able to ask the victims killed by these monsters what kind of pain or terror they felt.

Cowards such as this person wouldn't die with dignity they'd pull out every cowardly move to try and stop the procedure.

Sorry I care more about the victims. I don't give a hoot about the monsters. No sympathy, no empathy, to compassion, nothing... exactly what they showed their murder victims.

I'm not arguing about the killer's monstrous behavior. I'm not arguing about the victim's terror.

I was simply commenting on the irresponsible reporting from the Daily Mail.

I'm also not looking for a lecture.
