Haggie is right on target. We might as well get some
deterent use out of these executions.

Little kids don't need to see this sort of thing. That would be
cruel and inhumane.

I think death row inmates suffer more waiting and
knowing they are going to die. I think the last few
days must be rougher than a lifetime in jail.

Actually, Life without parol is less expensive. I'm also in favor of
shortening the appeals process.

How about we say we're going to execute them.. right up to the last
few mintes, then tell them we were just kidding and put them in a hole
for 40 years.

I agree Joe!

It's the bleeding hearts that have cost us all the money for his keep;
now it's finally over (I Hope)

They see worse on TV, and in video games.

And, allow children to attend. If you're going to
traumatize people, you
should start as soon as possible.

Mostly, they see make-believe on TV and most kids understand the
difference.

When you were a kid, did you ever see someone killed in front of you?

Perhaps, perhaps not. But, subjecting children to violence is not the
solution.

Actually, young kids don't. They see cartoon characters walk away from smoking
car wrecks and they think that's what a car wreck is really like. I remember
that as a kid, I, and everyone I knew assumed that if you were shot, you were
automatically dead. Surviving being shot would fall in the "very unlikely
miracle" department. That's the way it always was in the movies.

When you were a kid, did you ever see someone killed in front of you?

Unfortunately, I did.

They do if their parents are around to explain it.

Well, clearly you were traumatized and it shows.

No. Do you remember when the news showed the guy getting shot in
the head in, I believe VN?
I can still picture it.
