Isn't it Homo Sapiens Sapiens (wise wise man) though?

Ignore the idiot and let him rot in jail.

Agreed, but that said, I wouldn't mind knocking this little **** around with a tire iron for a while.

Hell yeah.

I work down the street from the school, and his actions really hurt this village.

Life in prison?

A capital crime, deserves capital punishment.

Justice has fallen short.

Maybe in your opinion.
However, a life in prison without parole is worse than death row.

Like Takeda put it earlier: Enjoy the showers.

No, in the opinion of many prisoners who are sentenced for a life in prison without the chance of parole.

Or request to be put back into general population. Convicts don't like kid killers.

An opinion, is an opinion none nonetheless.

And as far as prisoners sentenced to life in prison, why should anyone give a damn about what the opinion's of murders and rapists are anyway. If I had my way, repeat offenders would cease to be a financial burden to the country.

So if you want them to suffer, let them be in prison?

FYI, people on death row cost more than people who sit behind bars their whole life, so the cost factor is not a pro-CP argument, it actually works against it.
Additionally, I care to be honest. No mater what someone has done, I do not see why anyone else, especially a government, should have the right to kill anyone. Killing is killing, it is wrong.

Agreed. Seeing that I might one day end up behind the bars myself, I care. I'd be fooling myself if I claimed that this could never happen. It would be incredibly short sighted and arrogant of me to say that I could never in my life under any circumstances commit a crime serious enough to end up in prison and therefore be labelled "criminal".

Furthermore, as I have mentioned before, there are less than glamorous examples of what can happen when a society starts taking rights away from criminals. I find this example interesting, to be honest, but really scary at the same time, because the slippery slope there is very apparent and not only a fallacy, but an actual example from history.

I remember reading that (very good) post, I agreed in silence.

I have no problem with justified killing and that includes those who commit capital crimes. My problem with the DP is that the government can't be trusted with only executing the guilty.

He probably will get a helping hand or two with that
