(14,912 posts)..yeah, there's always a "but", isn't there?
The solution isn't punishing the 98% of gun owners who never use them to kill others. What we need is a swift and sure execution of convicted murderers. Fuck all the instant appeals and 20 years waiting on death row, when found guilty, walk them out the courthouse doors, with TV cameras rolling, and put a bullet in their temple. Then look into the camera ans say "This is what will happen to YOU if you kill someone and get caught. Now, will the family of this piece of shit please come get his body off the courthouse steps within 30 minutes, or he's going into the incinerator".
The problem today is that punishment isn't swift and sure. We have more advanced technology to stop innocent people from being wrongly executed. If there is ANY doubt at all about guilt, by all means, lock them up and give them one appeal, but in slam dunk cases, such as video evidence, multiple eyewitness accounts or confession, go with the above outlined procedure.
What do you think?
Peace,
