As regards to the death penalty, we don't have it here, and whilst I don't agree with it period (but respect that others do), I do think it would be too easy a way out for people who commit such awful crimes of murder and manipulation, take them out and beat the hell out of them yes, but let them die quickly and painlessly......no.
(I will say I am new to the boards and anything i've just said above isn't meant to ruffle feathers at all, I hope i've been respectful)
