3,309 inmates still on death row. How disgustingly wonderful.
If ever there was a use for a 50 cal. machine gun with about $300.00 worth of ammunition. In minutes the World would be rid of years of festering and disgusting scum. What a beautiful concept. Just think of the money the tax payers like you and me would save.
Why are these maggots still alive ???

There are, I suspect, a variety of people on death row. Some people psychotic, others with anger management problems, some with both and more. And a few normal people caught up in the system and the occasional innocent person (the Innocence Projects come to mind). Don't shoot them yet, my friend.

Don't shoot any of them as the courts cannot be trusted to get things right.
If they must shoot someone......maybe one as malicious as George Conlin would be a good start.

This little chart sound like somebody against the death penalty put it together. It's BS,keeping someone in prison 50 plus years is not less costly. My feelings to the people who are against putting hard-core murders down, Let's talk again after you lose someone you love in a grisly, horrifically violent crime.

it is against the law of God to kill people, let God judge those people

I tihnk they need to shoot anyone who has already been found guilty and is either on death-row, or a life sentence. Why have tax payers pay for their food clothing and beds when we can shoot them without overpaying. It cost about maybe(depending on bullet size) about $.50 a bullet and maybe 100-200 for a gun. Alot cheaper than the some $2000 on each injection. GET A HINT!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would anyone be against the death penalty, it saves lives. Who really cares if the dead man walking feels any pain when they are getting what they deserve, do you think they gave a damn about their victims? We treat our inmates to kindly, maybe thats why there is so much crime in America.

I feel all inmates on death should be put to death. As a tax payer I tired of paying for them.

dna has cleared so many innocent people who had been on death row and serving life.if you take the numbers that means that 35% of people doing life and death row were innocent.so how many innocent people have been executed the last 40 years. i guess you sadistic people who post dont really care.im for the death penalty but there needs to be 2-3 witnesses that actually saw it happen verses hear say,maybes and we think he did its.
