The cost for executing scumbag murderer is to high.

I agree with this statment only because of the way it is done today. I think they should use the "rope and tree" method again, it can be reused over and over! And there does not need to be all the attention from the media nor does there need to be a new pair of blue jeans and a last meal of his choice....Did he give his victims any final choices?

We have wrongly executed to many innocent people to get our revenge on those cold blooded murderers.

Any innocent life taken is a sad thought, but every day there are innocent lives lost in the wars of the day. What about all those innocent lives lost in gang related crossfire and drug deals ect.

We lost millions of lives to get our freedom and just maybe a few lives lost to maintain our freedom is well spent!

I am sorry but in the right situation when they have the right fellow (and it doesn't take 25 years to confirm this) use the "rope and tree"......and life goes on in a better world!

Just my $0.02 worth....you can agree or disagree....many have made the ultimate sacrifice so you can state your opinion!!!
 
I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw .............

The problem as I see it is that a lot of the people that profess to disagree with the Liberal mindset really are Liberals in the truest sense of the word only they don't seem to know it. (Or don't want to admit it)


They are saying capital punishment, which has been proven to reduce violent crime, is is not worth the cost if there is the slightest chance an innocent person could be harmed. It is funny but that argument is the same one Wendy and Paul have been using to justify taking away our firearms.
 
Dead is a very natural part of all our live's, and most people, including those who are on dead row, who are faced with the danger of a sudden, untimely dead, forced upon them by others, will most of the time, accept their fate.

Often, I have seen pictures of people who faces execution, smiling for the camera.

Therefore, I believe that being incarcerated for for rest of your remaining natural life for murder, is ultimately a harsher punisment than the dead penalty, like being a living dead ?

I recall reading that as many as one en seven american dead row inmates are set free, because modern DNA test proved beyond doubt that they are innocent.

How many innocent people do you think that are in canadian jail today ? How many innocent people were hanged in Canadian history, alongside with the real criminals ?
 
Throughout tree hundred years, it took that long, for the European Christian Church to figure out that executing five million innocent women, branded "Witches", was wrong.

We will never find out how many innocent people was wrongly executed throughout Canadian history, but the modern DNA testing has freed a large number of dead row inmates in the US, and that is scarry beacuse it shows that we still persue our "Witch hunts", to satisfy our need for human sacrifices.

Well most of the time, it is real, scumbag criminals we execute, however, from the high number of people set free from the dead row in the US, anywhere from 15 % and up, I can only conclude that throughout our own history, a very large number of executions in Canada was nothing more than modern day burning of innocent "Withces and Wizards".
 
It's tough to know if anyone was hanged in this country who was innocent. The last hanging here was over 40 years ago.

What we do know is the people who are free because new evidence

Guy Paul Morin, David Milgaard and Donald Marshall were wrongfully convicted of murder.

Stephen Truscott was sentenced to death by hanging. The weight of evidence that he is innocent is overwhelming and only foot dragging by various governments prevent his full exoneration.

The problem isn't the absence of capital punishment. It's the ease with which killers get back on the streets. Let life mean life.

Well said Claybuster....:cool:
 
Guy Poul Morin, David Milgaard and Donald Marshal might just be the "tip of of the iceberg" ?

It is very clear from these wrongful murder convictons that our own Canadian justice system are were much able to, and do, create it's own criminals from innocent citizens, for very puplic "Witch burnings", and do so effectively that it will take up to over twenty years for these innocent people to gain their freedom again. Scarry....
 
The lieberals are now calling for "reverse-onus bail" what this means is that you have to prove why you should be released on bail.... rather than the crown prove why you shouldn't... this is another step towards losing a fundamental right and a sad day for our justice system!!!!
 
we now have DNA testing capability which can provide much more solid eveidence in crime. So why not reinstate capital punishment? There would be fewer crimes which means fewer wrongful convictons, add the fact that dna testing can resolve question. Bottom line, fewer crimes is a good thing, criminals need consequences already. Plus i bet alot more little gang bangers would start to squeal on their cronies and peers if they faced death instead of a fine or less. Put some fear in the world for wrong doers and there would be alot less wrong doing.

As for cyber hunting, get rid of it and all the idiots involved.

My 2cents, if you don't like it don't look at it.
 
The crime rate is much higher in places/countries that have very few, but enormously wealthy individuals who are controlling the wealth and political powers of these places, and the rest of the population living on a dollar or two a day. Yearly, China is known to execute over 10000 individuals.

Some criminologist claims that the unexplainable drob in the overall criminal activity in the US, is connected to the easy availability of abortions that produces far fewer unwanted and neglected children, and therefore fewer criminals when these unwanted children grow up ?

Also, very often, perpertual lack of opportunities will create criminals. Compared to the US, Canada has a very low criminal problem, since there still is lots of opportunities for most of our young people.
 
As for the U.S, having a lower crime rate, check out the article in the national post written by David Frum. He says Canadas' overall crime rate is 50% higher than the states.
As for cost of housing the criminals, maybe we should farm them out to private jails in Mexico:cool: That along with a "three strikes your out" system ought to fix their wagons.
