Fixed it for ya'.

Summary sentence to be carried out upon pronouncement. Baliff, string a rope. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...violent101.gif

Hell, I'm from South Louisiana, "Choot 'em, choot 'em!"

When you choose to become a" heinous criminal," you forfeit those rights.

No you don't. Once they are convicted of the crime they are sentenced to whatever is deemed appropriate and within the sentencing guidelines. And, yes, I've had loved ones murdered and I wished the perp to go thru the system; no short cuts.

The problem is the guidelines and time served are a joke.

The death penalty should be applied in alot more cases. It should not take decades for it to be applied.

Also if you are told that upon a third felony conviction, it will result in the death penalty, if you go out and commit a third felony, so be it.

Stop giving the criminals the "rights" and protect society.

Better yet bring back the old west style of justice.

Equally a problem then would be what is considered a felony. You've probably committed several in your life. Everyone probably has.

For violent felonies, I certainly tend to agree with you.

I'm sure woman would love that ;) Nothing like being out valued by a horse.

Repeat customers are the problem. Put them on death row after they light someone they rape on fire, or put them on death row two more rapes and one dead CO later. If he had been sentenced to death the first time there would be no negative effects, he'd be dead, and some decent people wouldn't have had to suffer.

Armed robbery
Rape
Heinous assault
Murder

People who do these things shouldn't be breathing, much less getting less time than for some federal crimes where literally no one was hurt physically or financially (IE gun laws).

Feminism greatly improved the conditions of women, not only are they less well off financially than their mothers and grandmothers, but you can also light them on fire and apparently not get in too much trouble.

God bless social progress, should we survive it.

i don't trust the government with my guns but have no problem giving the legal system the authority to form a lynch mob. :no:
