with the planning of assassinating local judges and the rampant shootings in the area what do yall think of out c.p laws. i think bringing back public hangings would be a good thing. sometimes throughout history people have needed to see what can happen first hand. it seems to be a bigger deturent through out history and in other countries. should we be able to apply c.p to other crimes such as rape or child rapists ? me i think so . what about yall. with the presidentail election quickly approaching i think this is a topic to consider. |

I think anyone thinking public hangings is a good idea needs to either move back to the middleast, or seek help and education. |

| When the topic of capital punishment comes up, I always seem to think what Edith Bunker said to Archie about it many years ago. It went about like this - "capital punishment is OK as long as it's not to severe". |

There are many (bleeding hearts) against the death penalty; but only
UNTIL a heinous crime is committed against one of their loved ones,
and then it often becomes an acceptable / even demanded option.
Performed publicly? While it might satisfy some people,
I don't believe it'll have any additional deterrence factor on the bad-guys.
And deterrence is what we need -
revenge is what we want. |

| Yeah I have no problem with capital punishment. I do however think hanging on the courthouse sqaure is a bit much. A good deterrence in a lot of cases is arming yourself. One way to stop a crime from happening to you is to refuse to be a victim. |

| I am for capital punishment and I don't mind if he or she feels the prick of the needle going in, either. I don't like the idea of people staying on death row 15-20 years waiting for time consuming appeals. I think they should have one, maybe two appeals at the most then face the punishment. I absolutely do not feel that there should be public executions and I don't think that convicted murders should profit from books and their art being purchased by people with a perverted sense of value. Maybe give them the choice of dying from the relatively painless injection or elect to die by the same method their victim died at their hand. But on the other hand (as long as I'm on my soap box), I believe that the murder of millions of innocent unborn or partually born babies is absolutely wrong and it should be stopped immediately! I don't think sex offenders (especially repeat offenders) should be allowed to run free for months on bond, either, they should be refused bond and kept behind bars! |

Well John, this will likely start a firestorm;
should I be politically correct and call it PRO CHOICE,
or should I be blunt and say (deleted for easily offended forum users).
I support the Pro choice movement! |

And Lib, I think that you know that I will/ do support your right to bear arms,
especially against the bad guys who would do you /yours harm.
I concur that the Bad guys would give vastly more credence to an armed society than they would to additional laws on the books. |

| johnd, you have caused me to pull out my soapbox for a second. while we are on the subject of predators/offenses against children of the (do I dare say) sexual nature, that Couey weasel in Florida that killed that beautiful little girl in a most horriffic way reportedly got viagra thru medicare for his sexual dysfunction...another weasel, scott peterson will likely be the 'guest" of the california taxpayers on death row for at least 15 years...it is rumored...before he feels the "prick of the needle going in". not too long ago, right here in ozark, a beautiful little girl was raped by a repeat offender...right in our own back yard. go to familywatchdog.com and see where they are right under our noses.....living out loud and probably waiting for an opportunity. laci peterson's skull will probably never be found, and her parents have to deal with unbelievable horriffic images in their minds of what she went thru in her last moments. do i support the death penalty...yes i do, but when the appeal process is dragged out for year upon never ending year, people don't necessarily forget, but the pain dims. if one is entitled by law to a speedy trial, then the sentence should be carried out speedily also...if that was the trend then it would truly be a deterrent. criminals see people on death row dragging out their sentences thru appeal and it spurs them on. more states shoule carry out sentences the way florida does. quickly. i am voicing my own opinion, as everyone has and don't want to start any word wars. i respect everyones right to their opinion and decided to post mine after reading all the other posts |

Well Old Grannie,
if you want expedient justice you'll have to arm yourself
and administer it directly. Otherwise, that is just the way it is.
Most Americans are tired of the numerous/ long appeals,
but with the number of "wrongful" convictions now being overturned,
it may be just as well. Keep in mind, it could be one of your loved ones
locked up for a crime they didn't commit. |

i am pretty certain that our judicial system could use an extreme makeover. the predator bastards need to be where they can never get to a child.
each case of murder has to be examined of its own accord.

The way it is going, they are running out of room in the prisons. Here not too long ago, didn't they release so many prisoners because of overcrowding. What does that say to criminals now?
Put them back on chain gangs and make their butts work! Why should we have to foot their bill while they sit in air conditioned buildings with 3 meals a day when we have people out here on set incomes who can't afford air conditioning, or heating for that matter, and are lucky to see one meal a day. Where is the justice here? If I'm wrong then tell me I'm wrong.
Rapists and child molestors....that's a touchy subject. I believe they should be paraded around the courthouse with signs at least once a week. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It doesn't give closure to victims families but it will open they eyes of citizens. I also feel that if someone was arrested for theft of any kind should be done the same way. I'm not talking little signs either. I want to big one's that go from neck to kneecap and in big bold letters announcing to the world what has been done. I would expect no different if it came to me or my family.

| im so glad we have a healty debate going for once in dale county. some of you have attacked my belief of how c.p. should be carried out. the thing is is ive defended your right to have this forum. i am well educated and need no help. unless you grew up with dr. spock then you think that you shouldnt be punnished for your actions. the problem being is today the punishment never matches the crime. when you execute someone behind closed doors then the only people it deters is the condemed and the witnesses from commiting the same crime. people are a strange folk. we live in a society of seeing is believing. most people are so removed from tragedies that we have gone soft on the criminals. is public execution barbaric ??? yes it is but so is the crimes that get them executed. even hanging is kind compared to what most of the victims went through. so i say whether it be firing squad hanging or beheadings let the hoods and would be criminals see whats waiting for them. and if you harm a child theres no comming back from that . kill the bastard. maybee jesus can forgive them .... i cant . i like the old testement better myself " an eye for an eye" . once we have that then we can work on forgivness. until then i leave it up to the allmighty to be in the forgivness buisness, since they are the perfect ones not us. |

First of all bandit I don't need you defending my right to a forum. I've been here for quite some time and I really don't think your saving me from anything. By the way the forum isn't a right. Its privatly owned and administrated. Furthermore for you to say you are well educated is questionable when I turly believe no reasonable person would suggest or allow that public hangings/ executions be reincorporated into our society for any reason. Publics beheadings? Have you lost your freaking mind? You can argue until your blue in the face, but I think being well educated eludes you my friend. |

| see there you gop again. typing without thinking. your main problem must be a short between your chair and the keyboard. as far as defending ,it wasnt your right to a forum its your right to even have the internet. but then again you probaly have so many degrees on your wall you must have known that. hmm if not maybee you should reread my post. but i do think its a good idea. but then again i didnt sit back and smoke a fattey in my earlier years i was in the military defending your freedoms. and i could really care less how long youve been armchair quarterbacking it. as far as my level of education i only hold a double associates . thats like 4 years of skoolin after that thare highskoolin. its not a mba but it provides well for my family. now go on with your oh so enlightened witty retort. oh i mean whatcha gots to be sayin about that. lol. |

| oh and wrascal, right on ! but you gotta admit it worked well in the past. i just think the youth of today is so desensitized againts any punishment that sometimes you have to bring it to the next level. fear has always been a good deturrent. people today just arnt smart enough to fear anything. |

Let me tell you something. I was a tanker in The United States Marine Corps and am quite sure I've shed more blood sweat and tears than you could ever dream up. Had you seen first hand any of the things you are suggesting we subject the people of our community to you would think twice I assure you. You have no idea what public hanging or beheadings are like, and I hope noone ever has to see that. Your and idiot, and Again I don't need you defending my right to do anything. I've managed to do that just fine. As far as the dope smoking thing. Again anyone who knows me would also call you an idiot for even suggesting such a thing. You have neither the experience nor the mental capacity to carry a conversation of this sort. I would suggest you seek out the help you need. |

| and one other thing having the internet is not a right either. It would be considered a luxury. Maybe you need to look up what rights we have as citizens. I was fighting for the constitution of the United States not the right to use the internet. |

| i can tell you were in the marines. your pretty stupid. the internet is not a right i grant you that. its the freedom the the press dumb@$$ as you phrased it so well. seems as ive hit a nerve in you good! you must not have been smart enough to get into anyother branch of the military. they take the people with the lowest scores there you know. im not saying all marines are dumb , im friends with alot of smart ones. your just not one of them. let your rage out a little more it shows your lack of class. the only help i need is to figure out why your such a angry little guy. if you dont like my opinio then say you disagrre politley or shut the f@@k up. you people with your personal attacks. deal with it if you disagree. oh and the county provides internet at the library. maybee thats a place you should visit a little more. go over those amendments again. ttfn |
