If the government is going to execute someone, I would like them to spend as much time and money as they need to make damn sure they are killing the right person.

I could not agree more.

As much as I revile some of the people I had to meet when interning at DC, I'm in agreement with Troll and BC here. The Death Penalty is a final end to a sentence with no possibility of undoing it. We can't go 'oopsie' and realize we offed the wrong person and act bashful. That in and of itself is a disgusting miscarriage of justice.
And echoing some of the prison folk here, no he would not do well at all. Childkillers and child rapists are seen as the absolute scum of a prison hierarchy and tend to 'fall' and 'accidentally swallow glass' more than you'd think.

I asked a few convicts why they loathe childkillers and child rapists, their answer? "I was a kid once", I lol'ed.
Many violent offenders were "perpetrated" as children. They can't take revenge on those that made them the way they are. So they take it out on the people that hurt them.

To me, that doesn't mean keeping someone on death row for the rest of their natural life. There needs to be a cutoff. At this point, even ten years would be an improvement.

it points out an ugly issue. the legal code of the US is frighteningly massive and tangled....

I am sure there are plenty of people who sat on death row for more than 2 years and still were wrongfully executed. While it is ridiculously costly to keep these appeals going, I am sure the toll on people to kill an innocent man is greater than the financial toll created by waiting.

I'm surprised that Gas trusts the authorities enough to give them the power to kill him.

Execution or no, I like to always believe there's a special place in hell for pedophiles, rapists, and child murderers. I don't know how God works (if he works) but I really can't grasp how those three things are warrant of repentance in the least bit.

Bullet in the brain pan. Squish.
What we do in the Philippines is,when a Childrapist or Killer is found guilty,he gets the deathpenalty,fast and swift. if he gets off on some technicality but its 100% sure he did it, a few minutes after he leaves the courtbuilding the family of the child will gun him down in a drive-by while the police is looking the other way.

That's because there's only been one episode of Law and Order made ever. They just keep repeating it ad nausea.

I meant ad nausea. the commercial I was watching at the time of that post was making me sick. Yeah, that's my story.

He's intentionally missing it. again, because he's smarter than us.

Oh shit. Crone just made me realize what my response to this should've been: Unless ad is the latin for advertisement, your argument fails.

Andromache
this is why your puns are horrible. You beat the shit out any subtlety therein (see my limp point post), and coming from me that's effort. And why, in general, on the subject of language, you excel at being annoying. It's ok, we all have flaws, Fade likes all the wrong things in the world, Chuck likes Tnights, I have mosquito-sized a- cups, and get judged as an idiot before I open my mouth because of being a wimmins, and the universe designed you as the pun destroyer. Don't take this as sarcastic criticism. see it as a business opportunity: I think you should market it it. Sell your services to parents with kids who have dreams of becoming comedians. You can crush them into being the accountants the system needs them to be, and get paid.

The only question that remains is can we get Tom Jane to play him in the movie.

I've got Dolph Lundgren on the phone. He's willing to pay us to do it. Should I just hang up on him?

*hangs up*

Talkin' to Bobby right now. He's interested, but only if we call it "Back to the Pun"
Yeah, he may be a pun destroyer, too.
