I'm for the death penalty for the guilty, to administer justice in order to maintain law and order, meaning a fair and speedy trial, proof beyond a reasonable doubt and a just sentence, to be carried out quickly, without years of delay.

God ordained the death penalty:

Genesis 9:6 says, "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man." This is part of the larger covenant that God made with Noah after the flood. It not only reflects the great value of human life, but also gives the reason for that value: Man is made in God's image.

The absolute language of Genesis 9:6 suggests that all those who k**l another human being must be k**led. And since this mandate was given long before the Mosaic Law to all who survived the flood, it apparently has universal application.

In the New Testament, in Romans 13:1-7 Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, calls his readers to submit to the authority of civil government, reminding them that "if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers (the authority) do not bear the sword without reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer."

In its ultimate use, the word sword in the hands of lawful government, implies legal execution, reaffirming the death penalty.

Seriously???It costs more for them to be locked up for 20 or more years.....That is another reason why im for Death Penalty!!!...


A bit of info from my Google-Matic

Cases without the death penalty cost $740,000, while cases where the death penalty is sought cost $1.26 million. Maintaining each death row prisoner costs taxpayers $90,000 more per year than a prisoner in general population. There are 714 inmates on California's death row. According to the Vera Institute of Justice, incarceration costs an average of more than $31,000 per inmate, per year, nationwide. In some states, it's as much as $60,000. Taxpayers foot the bill for feeding, housing and securing people in state and federal penitentiaries.May 19, 2017

I'm not just talking about capital punishment, but any punishment, or even no punishment at all, if that's the decision. Why should a bunch of strangers get to pick out the punishment suffered by a perpetrator who has wronged you or your family, or both? 'Let the punishment fit the crime', as we hear so often. Fine, then. Who knows better than the victim(s) what punishment fits the crime committed against them?

Forgive me for being cynical here, but my immediate thought after reading your comment was that, while it sounds perfectly reasonable, the drawback might be that wealthy families might be able to "buy" their offending relative(s) out of a death sentence. Not in all cases, but possibly in some. And then we again would be dealing with a situation where the law is not equally applied.

For most of us this would not be an issue, as nothing would be enough, but even one evildoer going free because of the advantage of wealthy family is one too many.

Why not life at hard labor with no parole? I mean HARD LABOR. At least get some good out of them. There are some crimes that I think the death penalty is the proper answer, and others that prison time, as I said, at hard labor might be a better answer.

Agree. If the elite wealthy snobs can buy their basement dweller a ticket into a prime learning institution why can't the same or similar type, buy their kid a free pass from the family?

You said it!! Heaven forbid!! I am also guessing the sk**ls of the 'hard working' prisoner might make him more of a liability on the job and accomplish nothing of value.

In California, it doesn’t matter. Only the governor has the say.

The horse can mow, and fertilize the courthouse lawn before, and after the h*****g. I see no losing side here.
