		<description>Well what do you do with a rabid dog? You put them down. I find it odd, some folks are very pro-abortion, then these same people get very upset about executing and convicted  killer. Never will understand that.</description>

		<description>REGARDING:
“I thought Republicans were pro life? I guess that doesn’t apply to everyone…&quot;

Republicans vary just as we Democrats do. 
Some are Republican because they agree with fiscal ideas, some for foreign affairs attitudes, some for social issues. Some even join the Republican Party so they can vote in the primaries.

Even the ones who are pro life tend to be in favor of the lives of non killers rather than the lives of killers, partly under the concept of the unfairness of treating killers better than their victims, partly under the concept that known killers are more likely to kill again than non killers, partly in hopes that the death of people involved in non-sanctioned killing might convince those considering killing to not do so.

		<description>A horse thief WAS a murderer back then because a man stranded afoot was very likely to die a long, lonely, suffering death.

The lady figured killing killers is inappropriate because of the danger of killing a non killer. Four agreed with the thought. Nine disagreed. Question answered for now, can be revisited later if it seems reasonable to do so.

The lady did not consider that in some cases the exonerations were not actually proof of innocence but rather some doubt and instances where original evidence had been lost or destroyed (consider recent flood damage to court houses and sheriffs&#039; and police evidence storage rooms). When this happens, a retrial is useless even when the person is guilty.

She did not consider the improved forensics she cites reduces the danger of a wrongful conviction in the future.

She did not consider the fact that letting killers live greatly increases the likelihood they will kill many innocent people.

She did not consider the idea of freezing convicted killers until such time -- if ever -- that they can be revived as non killers (or the equipment fails or is turned off).</description>

		<description>I&#039;m against this bill!! I BELIEVE in the  BIBICAL WAY, an eye for an eye, etc.  I think if our country was like some of the other countries in dealing with thief, murder, etc. We&#039;d have lots LESS folks in prison.  You know, if yoiu steal, cut off one arm, if you kill then you&#039;d be killed.  Seems like all most folks get are a slap on the wrist, enprisonment (where one just sits, watches TV, eats, sleeps, (excercise if one wants to), do the same each and every day.  If one gets sick, they get to see the doctor, if they need hospitalization, that&#039;s okay too!  Is THAT punishment?  I don&#039;t think so.  THESE are my thoughts!!</description>
