our system needs to be like the case they had in a foreign country that i saw on tv. this older couple killed someone and they went from the court room to the shootin range....bang, bang. justice served. granted, they admited to it so its good that it was swift.
deterrent
Studies I have read show that capital punishment creates little deterrence for would be murderers. However, that just makes me believe that the main reason is justice for the loved ones of the murder victims. Personally, if somebody murdered my wife and daughter and I thought he might not get the death penalty I would do anything I could to kill him myself. Even a slow-assed death penalty will provide the victims some relief.

you all see so pro...I still have doubts in the system. I mean how can you support a system so misguided and corrupt that it makes anabolic steroids illegal?

I believe in the heart of what the system is supposed to do. The problem is that it has been bastardized by shithouse defense lawyers and corrupt politicians. Hopefully the silent majority will say enough is enough soon and swing the pendulum back to where it should be. The death penalty would be a deterrent if it was certain and swift. Since it is neither, its damn near worthless. Criminals that are charged and convicted of a crime warranting death, should be allowed one appeal only and if it should be heard within a month. If upheld, the death sentence should be carried out immediately after the hearing is completed. This shit about having to have so many judges agree, and allowing endless appeals is horseshit. If they whacked Tookie right away, he wouldnt have had time to write children's books (Which I highly doubt he ever did himself), or build up an audience of do-gooders that want to come to his aid. I wonder if all the outraged protesters outside the prison were there protesting when the 4 victim's were killed?

you all are making great points....the biggest one is the fact that in that time he had on death row, he got to write those books and say he's sorry, he's cleaned up, etc. People looked at him as a changed man instead of the person who committed the crime. He went to court, got the death penalty, he deserves it. People are failing to realize he killed. not just 1, but FOUR people in TWO separate robberies. with a shotgun, coldblooding killings. No self defense. I agree with Tee. One appeal, no more, then death penalty immediately. IMO, once the judge hits that gavel, their asses should be heading to the chamber within minutes.

Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to offend anyone.
I have to disagre with most of you, killing someone because he has killed doesn't make any sense to me...
I don't think we are any better by killing for the same thing that he has done.
It's a bit like playing God, deciding who should live and who should die.
Now I'm not talking about Tookie but about the death penalty in general. It was already proven in the past that people have been emprisonned by mistake, so who can say that the guy on death row is 100% guilty. There have been some cases where the guy on death row was proven innocent with new evidence. The system isnt perfect, and an execution is not to be taken lightly.
You are right, murders in states that have capital punishment has not gone down... so why keep it since it's not helping?
Again I don't think that doing justice yourself will help your cause, mainly because you'd be blinded by emotions. You can't let your emotions overcome you, if not, let's say you get drunk and get behind the wheel then hit another car and get arrested. Turns out that you hit the judges car, now I'm sure you wouldn't want him to give you 15 years in jail because he is pissed that you have wrecked his car...
I know we are talking about murders here but still, emotions have no place in the ruling.
That's just my commie Canadian opinion

We had a case here in Quebec where a guy pleaded guilty to some crimes, can't remember wich one though. He spent 5 years in jail, turns out that he was schiszophrenic and never committed the crimes, the police never even processed the dna evidence wich would have proven his innocence because he pleaded guilty...
hanging
Washington State has the hanging option. I believe the convicted man gets to choose hanging or lethal injection. Most choose the injection.

The problem is Tookie never once showed remorse or said he was sorry. That's the very reason Arnold rejected his appeal, good for Arnold.
I think they should have put a blue bandana on his head and one arm, drove him down to Compton and dropped him off in a Bloods neighborhood. That would have been fair punishment, let him deal with part of the shitstorm he started.
As for states with the death penalty not having decreased murder rates, of course they don't. The executions are way too few and far between. And even the ones that get executed don't receive punishment for years, and usually decades. By then everyone has forgotten the people who's lives were shattered.

Public hangings or televised executions of any kind would certainly not become a deterrent. What they do become is a lurid form of entertainment...sort of like not being able to take your eyes off a car accident. They never worked in France...read a tale of two cities. In this country it would probably become a pay per view event.
this is a great thread

Like mrxplosive said, the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime because its not utilized enough and its not utilized swiftly, its not utilized certainly and its been too sanitized. "Studies have shown...." doesnt mean shit. I can show you studies that show the opposite of anything that is stated. One must use common sense. If you know that if you kill some guy and get caught, you will die a horrible miserable death, and it will be carried out immediately, you will more than likely not kill the guy if you are mentally balanced. If you do kill him, you already know what will happen if you get caught. If you get caught, you deserve what you get. No excuses. I dont care if you were beat as a child, born with a mental handicap, or what other horseshit excuse these liberal swine can come up with. If they killed a person or committed a crime that society feels deserves the death penalty, kill them.
If you are standing on a corner and see a cop directing traffic. Are you going to pick up a rock and smash it through a window of the insurance company right across the street that ripped you off? No, you know the cop will arrest you. Thats a deterrent. You know you will pay consequences for your actions (Even though they wont be severe). You know there will be punishment.
People have been incarcerated and even on death row that were proved innocent at a later time. Thats terrible. Unfortunately, the world is not a perfect place. We can only do our best. Allowing millions of scum bags to go on breathing and living after they have committed horrible acts, is not right either.
