Inmates on Death Row

So with the legal fights against the death penalty and lethal injection, I feel that it's important to voice MY opinion! First, I honestly don't think ANYONE in prison should have a damn opinion about this, they are locked up, away from society for a REASON, they are unfit to be apart of a normal society, so what gives them the RIGHT to have an opinion? Second, why the hell should we care if the lethal injection is so called "cruel and unusual punishment" or "painful"? I'm sorry, but I was under the impression that you were on DEATH ROW! What the fuck? Should I feel sorry for these sick bastards that have committed murder, rape, torture and other henious crimes against another human being? I DONT THINK SO! People who murder and rape should be shot in the head, point blank. Why the FUCK should WE allow the government to spend OUR tax dollars too keep these bastards alive? It's not right, I'd gladly pay for bullets, but we spend so much FUCKING money on keeping these people alive, why? So they can fight the penalty they deserve? I honestly think lethal injection is OVERLY humane for theses people, they don't deserve that kind of death, they should have to suffer the same fate their victims did! And people wonder why society has gone to shit, people get a fucking slap on the wrist for commiting these crimes. What about their victims, don't they DESERVE justice!?!? And, you have these people trying to apose the death penalty! I'm sorry, but how fucking ridiculous! I am ALL FOR it! I don't want my HARD EARNED money going to keep these fuckers alive, they don't deserve to live!

Aw my dear cousin I have to laugh at this post given the contrast of emotions between this and your first post ever about cruelty to animals. It's funny how we can have such strong feelings about anti death, torture, and punishment for animals, yet in the same breath be calling for the hangman. Unfortunately, in this life not everything is black and white. There are shades of gray in verious degrees... you can not say what is right for one person is right for everyone. You can not deny that there are thousands of women on death row who took justice into their own hands... murdering husbands or men who either attacked them or their children. These women are killers, plain and simple. But yet they are being punished for doing exactly what you call for... blood justice. It is true that the bible says an eye for an eye. Yet, if we follow Ghandi's sayings, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Murder for murder doesn't really solve anything... look at it from this perspective: since the implementation of death row in america, has there been more violent crime or less? More. Death row is not a deterent. Unfortunately, neither is life in prison. Not with the current system. I encourage you to google the Texas governor and see what it says about his "life sentance" in prison. He is a governor that calls for old school chain gangs. Much less fun, with bad food, no commodeties that most of the developing world doesn't have (TV's, internet, free college education, access to some of the worlds best athletic equipment... all of which most prisons are equipped with as a result of our tax dollars.) No my dear, I disagree. Death is too good for these people. Let them feel the burden of a life of hard work for their community... bring back the chain gang.

Love,your cousin
