I have some experiance in this field,because it's what happened to me - I was a high Priest in an Atlantis civilisation....for crimes I won't go into here,it's really of no concern to you - I was sent forward to ''The End of Time'' as my punishment.It's been a lot of fun really....

End of Time? Do you know something you aren't telling us?

You aren't Ironman are you?

The death penalty in the US always costs many times that of a life sentence.

So why bother?......cheaper to leave them in jail for life.

All capital punishment is about revenge. It is barbaric and should not be condoned by a civilised and enlightened society. It does not act as a deterent for murder or any other crimes that carry a death penalty.

And there's the rub my friend.

No matter what people say we do not live in a civilised society. You want proof, go out for a drive somewhere, anywhere and see how civilised people are to you?

Plus the obvious of course, that if we were in a civilised society then these crimes wouldn't take place in the first place.

Do the crime, pay the time. Sure the guy repented, too late man, sometimes you cross a line and there's no going back, murder is one of those times.

Justice, you don't deserve justice

Justice, you don't deserve justice

Mate I just GOT justice...

Went to a kid's Christmas party... waited till after the lolly scramble then asked... "Who wants to play tag".

Yeah - I got justice all right (and loved it... 5 year olds are the best!). I'll sleep well tonight though

No - which is why I wouldn't be able to give the guy a fair trial.

Picture this, you hate someone - everyone knows it and you've made no secret of it. You've been mouthing off for years that the guy's a complete prick, a waste of good air.

You're going past his place one day and see him trapped under a tree/dead. He's still warm and you do the decent thing and call the cops and the ambos, and wait till they get there. Rumours inevitably start that you did it, then called the services to make it look like you were innocent, etc...

The judge on the case in this guys Dad... and he's never liked you anyway...

Would you be ok with that?

Ah well ce's la vis, shit happens - life ain't fair kids.

Poor guy viciously kills innocent people and pays for it.

Just a shame he wasn't able to experience justice N.Z style, violent criminals here get 10 years in a relatively cushy environment for murdering people.

Maybe after he stabs and kills a few more people he might get over his 'anger' issues according to the judge.

Leading on with your soft bitch excuse of "you have no right to kill him", where is your right to incarcerate criminals? by what measure to you beleive that you have the right to hold someone against the will. If as a society you believe we dont have a right to protect ourselves from those who do not respect others right to live, then i hope you manage to get the laws changed to allow the like of William Bell out of prison and moved into the house next to you, so they can remove you from the gene pool.

He repented, so what, let me run over your foot with truck and then see how you feel about a "sorry", you got kids.... well I have, so I wont go there....but fella (fellaettes to), the guy killed four people, that they knew of, "I'm sorry" just dont cut it. Death penalty or life in prison is not about reabilitation, its about removing these things from what we want as a normal society.

He should have died long ago, anyone who feels sorry for him or the likes of him should take a good long look there lives and realise how good they live in todays society.

Having a death penalty wont stop all murders, but think of the arseholes we'd get rid of in the long run, dont tell me the world wound'nt be a better place.

FFFUUUUCCCCCKKKK some of you piss me off, but if I ever manage to murder someone at least I know youll come and see me and tell me its ok, that I didnt really mean it and i can get out soon, maybe, if it wasnt some one you knew.

Ghost out.
