America is so silly with these kind of things.
> Is there a doubt that the supposed guilty person is indeed guilty?
> Yes?
>Don't kill them.
> Is the convict completely guilty without a doubt and should receive death penalty?
> Yes?
>Executioner lines them up and shoots them.
It'd really make things simpler.

Again, media publicity will demonize it. It's an unpopular opinion since many people will most likely react negatively to it. America already has a bad reputation for being obese and ignorant of other country politics. Do we really need every country in the world thinking we're okay with killing a convict? Again, years of appeals = More money than keeping them in a cell. Economically thinking about it, killing someone costs much more than keeping them in a cell with minimal comforts.

Maybe because I applied myself while in school, my teachers appreciated me? So, in essence, I got "treated" better than what you think students would be treated like. I still don't see how you manage to compare a prisoner to a student. A student is: -Not caged in -Doesn't have to worry about getting shanked. -Doesn't have to worry about getting -blam!-. -Has access to food 24/7 in their own house. -Can go outside any time they want. Prisoners would [i]love[/i] these privileges. But no, they don't have those. So tell me, how are prisoners treated better than students?

由burritosenior编辑: 2/1/2013 12:48:17 AMThe use of a gun is not humane which is why it is not used. A couple states still allow firing squads, but that's only on the request of the prisoner I believe. Why should we be humane to criminals that would otherwise 'deserve' death? Because we're better than that. And not all of us would put ourselves so low as to kill others. Secondly, as it stands the Death Penalty is very, very expensive because of the extensive costs of housing the prisoner for decades of appeals and maintaining special housing. All in all, while the cost of an injection itself is only around $30 (if I remember correctly, though part of me wants to say $7), the whole thing is ridiculously expensive for the state. After all, these people have nothing to lose so they go all out with every other option they have hurting us financially.
