Death Penalty Question

We're talking about somebody that rapes and kills a little kid here.  Assuming there is a ton of evidence against the guy (like video tape of the act, DNA, witness(es)), I see no reason a person like that should live.  I don't care if the studies say it doesn't prevent crime, it might make the victim's family feel just a little bit better and that by itself is enough for me.

as someone who supports the death penalty, i have to say a lot of the posts in this thread aren't doing the position much service.

That is the exact reason the socks are doing it.  Sure it's dirty pool, but do you expect anything less from the left*?




*of course "the left" isn't the only group that does it.  That would be a stupid thing to think.  Like thinking Americans are the only ones to fight over a good deal...or blaming capitalism for people acting like asshats.

With over 100 votes, it's too late to change this poll now, but what I intended to ask was whether you all would still oppose the death penalty if someone were convicted of all three crimes (murder, rape, and pedophilia/child molestation) involving the same victim(s).

Some people here lack reading comprehension skills (or more likely just read it the way they want it to read).  I knew what you were going after when I voted.
