  1. my thoughts about the death penalty- its not really necessary. i know people do a lot of bad things but if you kill them its not making them suffer. it like your giving them the easy way out. most people would rather die then sit in prison for the rest of there lives.

    I think the death penalty is to over board , yet I support it . I think if they made the decision to take away someone else life then someone should be able to decide to take theirs .

  4. I think that the death penalty is a waste of time because people shouldn't just be killed cause of a crime they did. I think that if you murdered someone that you should be put through hell until the day that you die, I don't you should just be killed. I think murders should just suffer and go through a lot to deal with what they've done. I really don't think criminals should just be killed over them killing or raping someone/or people, I think they should just be put through a lot. They deserve to be pushed around.

  5. What is my thought about the death penalty is why did 1,267 people have been executed in the u.s. since the 1976 when death penalty was reinstated. I think that the death penalty is not right at all. Do I think it serves justice? no I don't think it serves justice for the people.

  9. I think if you kill someone your just plain out crazy and sick in the head. The death penalty is totally called for. What if someone that you loved dearly died because of some psycho and you had to sit in the courtroom and look at him or her the entire time i know i would jump over the desk and start beating him or her up if that ever happened to me.

  10. - What i think about the death penalty is not what you may think most people die in prison for alot of thing's . Once you commit a murder case your going to jail & suffer your time , well maybe if people get they life together & realize what they got they self into, should've thought about it before you did it right or wrong ? (right] Alot of people die like everyday & baby's pop out everyday it dont make no diffences in the world , all bad's need to be punish for what they did to put themselves in a bad place !
