I have family members that are felons. Felonies go from simple things like some narcotics to murder. There are lots of crimes more than misdemeanors which shouldn't be punishable by death. Ones that I personally would cheer to see executed. Sex offenders,Pedophiles, Those who prey on innocence have no right to live in my book those sick bastards deserve no less than what the Romans would do to Christians. Feed them to the lions! Let those bastards feel like the prey for once. Even murder is circumstantial enough to make one look at the reasons for why it happened. wait! Christians have been the persecuted and not JUST the persecutors??? Get out of dodge,,,,!!!! (sarcasm) Lets not forget about my Jewish people here...lol thank you!!! I am a jew. So was Jesus your welcome!

It has come to a breaking point OP Those who are contributors of goodwill and well being. against Those who feed on goodwill and wellbeing for their benefit and/or twisted perversions. Through criminality, They have forfeited their right to live amongst us. The world is over populated, this indisputable fact is pronounced and displayed through war over territory and water. Rabid dogs should go to sleep. Should it be a public spectacle? NO!

How much should the ticket be? What's a fair price? Would you go? How much would you pay to watch someone suffer and die? That's just dowright WRONG

Just because a person has a felony conviction doesn't mean that they need to DIE. I hoped those who know me would recognize the gross exaggeration and heavy sarcasm in the op. Just curious... I'll have a chapter in my book about my time on mingle. I didn't think that this thread sounded like you.. It's not....not even a tiny bit of it.

I know people I would just assume put a bullet in their head than tolerate their existence. Some people are just so stupid they just commit crime becasue they could care less. How about someone who constantly robs people and is in and out of the system time and time again? In all reality three strike violent felons deserve to be put down like animals. Why should we endure and pay for their incarceration? Kill them off and life still moves on but without the dead weight dragging us down. If someone cannot and refuses to live in peace and within the laws of our land should either leave or die! Hell, Career criminals should likewise be put down but what constitutes a career criminal? It is called Deterrent Force. A great explanation of this is in the movie Dr. Strangelove. God bless your natural bodily fluids.

Let those bastards feel like the prey for once. Even murder is circumstantial enough to make one look at the reasons for why it happened. We should always seek out reason. There are documented cases of various medical disorders that occur, such as brain tumors, that effect behavior in a radical way. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2943-brain-tumour-causes-uncontrollable-paedophilia.html We should always be reasonable enough to ask why, and honest enough to really try. Trust me, my visceral reaction is much the same as yours, however when I learn of things like the link above demonstrate, I tend to realize the issue is more than black and white. There are also cases where we just plain old got it wrong, and the wrong person is being sentenced. http://www.innocenceproject.org/

Just because a person has a felony conviction doesn't mean that they need to DIE. no, it's better to let them live in a prison for the rest of their life, on our dime.... 530 dollars a day per prisoner, times 30-50 years, is way cheaper than a bullet.(about 37 cents per bullet)

No one would keep someone in jail for the rest of there life say for bouncing a check and then failing to pay it, but that would be a felony if it was for more than 1 thousand dollars. The punishment should be commiserate to the crime.

The point he was making was that the term felon captures a wide range of offenses and its inappropriate to hang people for non-violent, or negligent activities. Personally I would do do away with all laws against victimless crimes and make harsher the punishments for premeditated victim crimes, but I am a small government moderate libertarian type and that goes with the philosophy.

It's not a humongous deal, a lot of these criminals commit suicide after their crimes anyways...thank GOD for those ones right...that saves us having to convict the wrong guys...,which is not like 1-2 criminals or anything...

A lot of innocent people commit suicide after being wrongly accused of crimes as well . .

A lot of innocent people commit suicide after being wrongly accused of crimes as well . . not really, they are usually sitting in jail waiting on an appeal, so they are unable to commit suicide. Since they are innocent they arent really contemplating suicide until it is too late and they are already arrested and unable to attain the tools they need for suicide. Most wrongfully accused spend their lives trying to prove their innocence. not bailing out and giving in.

The innocence project is all about getting the right data to the right people to free the innocent. http://www.innocenceproject.org/ Too often prosecutors and judge want to save face over admitting they where wrong, far more often than should be acceptable evidence comes forward of someone innocence and is ignored. IMHO until problems like this with the system are cleared up capital punishment is a non-starter. I would rather free 10 killers than kill a single innocent. I can protect myself from the killers, I cannot give the innocent back his life.
