What's your view on capitol punishment?

Last night I was just watching some movie with Shawn Pen (just caught the end) where he's on death row. at the end he was tied up to this table, he was lifted up on it in front of a bunch of people where he could say some last words, then he was injected by some machine with a crap load of different chemicals.

During the movie, his whole execution seemed really horrific and inhumane, but when they flashed back to his murder, it seemed equally horrific and inhumane. I started thinking about capitol punishment after seeing the movie, and I gotta admit I'm not really sure where I stand on it. so I was just wondering what your views/opinions/arguments about capitol punishment are.


And just a note people, differences in opinion don't necessarily require an angry yelling match and insults flying everywhere.

IMO, if someone intenionally kills someone else they deserve to have the same done to them.

PS. Bring on the firing squad

"Do onto others as you wish others onto you."

It serves its purpose.

Yes, those people kill innocent people in most cases, they deserve to die too.

Compaired to when they traided in the Hang mans Rope to the electric chair.
the lethal injection is an easy way out..

Imo.
Rockspiders.(pedaphiles).
rapists and cold blooded killers get all they they deserve..

I would loooooooooooooooooooove to see a public execution with a guillotine.

That alone influences my support of the whole shabangabang.

wow, this has been considerably more one-sided than expected.

Guilty of murder. Death sentence

Proclaims innocense: Lie detector /sodium pentathol
Passed: life in prison
Flunk: Go to the chair immediately...no fuck around time in a cell!

Doesn't deny guilt: Go to "Flunk" :D

how sure can you ever be that someone is guilty?
think about it
