Re: All scum should be shot???a
I think the nature of each crime needs to be examined before a punishment or even an arrest is made.
A woman killing her husband for beating her is essentially self-defense and shouldn’t even be arrested. I do believe in justifiable homicide, self-defense is definitely justifiable.
Statutory rape (consensual sex with a minor) is waaaayyyy different than a first-degree sexual assault (rape). Still worthy of a punishment but hardly a death punishment.
Kill the rabid dogs :skull: , punish the misguided teens :whip: and help the battered wives :love: .

You propose we should execute the housewife who is sick and tired of receiving her usual Saturday night black eye so she finally smashes her husband over the head with a lamp?
A couple of things wrong there. First of all, you're mixing up the terms "parole" and "early release." I have no problems with a ten year sentence for burglary with no chance of early release, but parole is meant to monitor convicts after they have served their time in order to help them reintegrate and lessen their chances of reoffending.
Secondly, the fact that you are willing to execute a person because they stole a television set is just sickening. I don't know if you consider yourself to be a Christian or not, but if you do please don't ever try to throw Christian morality around in any future arguments in here, because you don't have a leg to stand on given what you just said.
Again, I agree with the long sentence (I might even go twenty years for a car jacking that also involved taking the driver prisoner), but death? No.
Most sensible thing you said in this post. The punishment should always depend on what happened.
My comments with respect to your car jacking proposal apply here as well.
Goof......didn't you see me repent in this thread yet? Read the post above yours.
