Defending the Truth

I live alone, and my girlfriend already knows better than to ever enter my home unannounced. Warning shots are prohibited. My door opens un expectedly, something dies. Period.

Should have kept him in prison for life? Fuck that!

Would have been more punishment then doing him the favor of ending his life.

Yeah... for the American people, not for him.

If someone enters into home by force or by breaking in illegally, there is no warning shot, I will be aiming center mass. My house is mine, I am its lord and it is my castle, no one has the right to enter it without my permission or without a warrant. I have the right to protect myself and my family, the constitution says I have the right to be secure in my home, and if someone breaks in, they have no right to my property. Get real, a warning shot, what if they are armed and don't take a warning shot??? No, if someone forces there way into my home or breaks in illegally, I will definitely be hitting the target. That's GUN CONTROL - HITTING WHAT YOU AIM AT!!!!!!

First I made very clear that I am not pro-life. I am anti-abortion and pro-death penalty. What is hard to understand about the simple fact that a criminal sentenced to death has committed a crime, been found guilty by a jury of its peers and then sentenced to death, whereas an aborted fetus has not committed any crime, not had a trial, and was sentenced to death by anyone other than its mother.

Whether the death penalty prevents others from committing crimes or not, is besides the point. Once someone executed they are prevented from committing any further crimes. It is 100% effective. Perhaps if we did not make the death penalty so sterile and clean, it would be more of a deterent, but then again criminals are stupid, because they always believe that they won't get caught. THe beauty of the old west was the fact that its executions were public, many people thought twice about committing crimes when they saw someone swinging by their necks. But today, they go into a room and go to sleep and they just don't wake up.

Death is cruel, however, the framers were very clear in making a distinction between capital punishment and cruel and unusual punishment. Sometimes we need to remember that they did, and do what is right. There are some crimes that are so heinous, that death is the only sentence that should be imposed.

That is fine but realize you are much more likely to kill someone you know than a stranger.

Let me make it very clear that you are a hypocrite.

The death penalty is 0% percent effective at preventing/deterring crime and it ends the misery of someone who should suffer for their crime(s).

I can't see men like Timothy McVeigh rotting in jail. If I lost someone in the Oklahoma City bombings, it would be hard for me to deal with the fact that a man like McVeigh get's to live.

I can understand this, but realize it is a complete contridiction to the "right to life" abortion issue.
