When he is dead his punishment is over, since he is going to die eventually why not keep him locked up for 40 more years and then let him die.

Jeezus H. C., Mary and Joseph!!!!!!!

I just agreed with weatherman!!!!!!!!!

Now if I could just figure out if this means I've crossed over to the Dark Side; had a severe, and possibly terminal brain fart; pigs have begun flying and I'd best get my car in the garage; should go design me a commerative chip.

hmmmmmmm, I'm goin' with the chip idea.

DON"T KILL TOOKIE

Re: Tookie, tookie, tookie... what about the victims?
 

I love all the western countries with the death penalty, oh wait, we're the only one....

Anyway, what does killing him accomplish? He is a murderer, but from prison he has been writing childrens books and urging kids not to join gangs or get involved in gang violence. Dead, he can do nothing, alive, whether he means it or not, he can help people. He cant hurt anyone else...

Re: Tookie, tookie, tookie... what about the victims?
 

Who did Tookie kill? If it was other gang banger gutter scum then spare him and let him write more kiddie books. If it was innocent people, inject.

Wow, you have reached a new low in my book. Who are you to judge the value of any other human's life.

Does anybody else see the contradiction in this statement?

I don't agree with Peter666, but all you who support abortion make that same value judgement, especially regarding partial birth abortion where a borderline viable fetus is partially delivered so that its head might be crushed.

My personal opinions of you have nothing to do with the value of your life. If you were killed I'd support the normal prosecution of your murderer, nothinig more, nothing less. But I could still see you as a lowlife bastard.

The death penalty, in some of our united states, is the law. The laws have been thru the system. The supremes have ruled on them. "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's."

We can debate/discuss it all we want but unless/until our lawmakers are convinced otherwise, it stays that way.

Exactly the line of reasoning that's changed a number of opinions about the death penalty. Mine included.
