That's nothing. I have seen much worse stuff than that and I still think the benefits of the death penalty are questionable.  It costs more money than leaving someone in prison and it doesn't deter people from commiting crimes.

What are we some primitive society that gets our kicks from slaughtering people? Does that make you feel good at the end of the day? I feel sorry for you if that is true.

And do you think it is hard to put someone like this in jail for the rest of their life? All the prosecution would have to do is read a recitation of the facts and the case is closed.

It's not all that expensive, go down to walmart, spend some money on a gun and some bullets.

The only expensive part is because people with similar views as you make it as difficult as possible to sentence someone to death.

I mean I've never been to jail or prison, and I don't plan to, but if I did something to merit a life sentence, I think I just might take death.

Edit: Doesn't deter people from crime?
"Well gee Joe, if we get caught we might end up in prison."
-OR-
"Man I don't know Joe, we might get the death sentence for this"
