Please Read... 10. "If one criminal kills two families of four in Calgary, Canada, and another is a pre-meditated cop-killer is the state of Texas, legally, the first criminal has a 0% chance of execution while the second criminal pretty much has a 100% chance of execution." • "pretty much"=opinion • Whose system is wrong ours or theirs? 8. Without the death penalty the investigation is less detailed an thus, an innocent person may face life in prison vs a decade on death row 7. WHO CARES? Without the death penalty, there would just be more males in prison 6. Congress has stated time and time again that we have advanced from stoning to hanging to the electric chair and now to lethal injection which makes the DP no longer "cruel and unusual" 5. We don't have control over their decisions 4. When you get in trouble don't you change you behavior to get out of trouble. Saying sorry doesn't forgive assault let alone murder. 3. African-Americans commit more crime (Just so you know, I am black). How many people who seem to be middle-eastern have been stopped since 9/11. Also regardless od the DP these races would still just spend life in prison. 2. What a horrible picture. That cell is overpopulated. That seems like a support for the DP. Also, only the initial cost of the DP are higher. 1. It is more like an eye for 3 eyes. They don't put everyone to death who commits a murder. Also, being in the jury is forced. If everyone in the jury say the criminal is innocent he is set free and kills again. If he is found guilty how does that make the jury murderers? You need concrete facts or you will make the cause you support lose followers. I am against the death penalty and I still think almost everything you said was wrong… Please Read…

• “pretty much”=opinion
• Whose system is wrong ours or theirs?

8. Without the death penalty the investigation is less detailed an thus, an innocent person may face life in prison vs a decade on death row

7. WHO CARES? Without the death penalty, there would just be more males in prison

6. Congress has stated time and time again that we have advanced from stoning to hanging to the electric chair and now to lethal injection which makes the DP no longer “cruel and unusual”

5. We don’t have control over their decisions

4. When you get in trouble don’t you change you behavior to get out of trouble. Saying sorry doesn’t forgive assault let alone murder.

3. African-Americans commit more crime (Just so you know, I am black). How many people who seem to be middle-eastern have been stopped since 9/11. Also regardless od the DP these races would still just spend life in prison.

2. What a horrible picture. That cell is overpopulated. That seems like a support for the DP. Also, only the initial cost of the DP are higher.

The case of China invalidates your argument. Your comments about Jesus are particularly odd, considering that JESUS WAS GIVEN AN UNFAIR TRIAL, AND THEN EXECUTED BY THE STATE FOR A CRIME HE DIDN'T COMMIT. Did you even do any research?

The real difficulty is in determining whether or not a particular defendant has committed a crime. It has been repeatedly shown that it is not done easily, and almost never without bias.

Plus, MA abolished the death penalty only in 1947--350 years after Salem's infamous prosecutions. You’re on the right side of the issue, but that doesn’t make any sense.

Blacks are about 12.7% of the total population. The total numbers of executions by race shouldn't even be close. You’re only proving the point, dude. Blacks are about 12.7% of the total population.
