Pro Death Penalty
Life in prison is not a punishment. Not for people guilty of violent murders. They have access to way to many comforts that they do not deserve. When criminals kill, they lose their own rights. They are subjected to whatever punishment that crime is worthy of. In cases of heinous crimes or multiple murders is a life sentence enough? No. Will it guarantee they won't kill again? No. Only the Death Penalty can assure that.
My own brother, Peter, was killed seven years ago when he went out to lunch to celebrate his wife's pregnancy. There was a shootout at the diner he was eating at, and he was murdered along with seven other innocent, unknowing people. The killer, however, got away with his life. Five years later they found the guy and he was sentenced to life without parole. Peter was only 24, and he was the most amazing person
I have ever known. The fact that the killer continues to live is a slap in the face to my family.
Peter deserves justice. So do the seven other people murdered along with him. So does any other helpless murder victim that didn't get the justice they needed.
Do you think that the victim's family really wants to keep going time after time to the parole board, begging the board to not grant early parole to the criminals in question? And even with life without parole, there's always some risk of early release (such as overcrowding). The death penalty would not allow that cycle to begin, and taxpayers would have one less criminal to support with taxpayer dollars. I understand that the death penalty can't always be granted, but when it can be, it should be selected to give taxpayers, families, and
