While a good thought and I can understand the reasons for it. I seriously doubt the families or victims in general would choose to do so. I'm for the option, and certainly some probably would take advantage.

I'm not a fan of public display's, either, I doubt that it would profess anything but public outcry about peoples rights and such, which would just continue to slow things down.

Being of better sound mind and morals, religion believer's and what not else, it would still leave these people waiting for their sentence to be given out, which means they still would be sucking funds off of the rest of us.

About the only way is to have back the swift and clear sentence carried out with in a certain time period not to exceed, if and after the person was awarded a second court hearing deciding another trial or not. This would in my view stop people from thinking, well I will just wait my time out, if they knew they ae going to end up the same what they caused others to depart this world !

I’m kind of for it if done within 1-year of conviction. To be carried out by bullets shot by robot type systems.
I’m also for a public whipping post for repeat shoplifting, car theft and other non-criminal, but repeat crimes. Singapore has a low crime rate because nobody wants to be caned.

I would add in Pedofile type stuff, anything to do with messing up a child’s life .

For the pedophiles...Just kick a block out from under their feet and let them choke...No neck breaking drop for them, that's way to humane.

Tying em' up a caning folks for theft and the like would probably do wonders. I'm kind of with BC on the family choosing when it comes to a capital offense. They can chose death or a life of hard labor/solitary confinement.

I guess thou shalt not kill is not valid?

Pretty sure God laid down the punishment for one who murders in Genesis 9:6

what J Stanton just said. Thou shalt not kill is incumbent upon the first act, the consequences for such are certain.

unless its your child, grandchild, elderly mother, wife and so forth. heaven forbid you ever are placed in that seat and have to face that turd for ruining your life and many others. These folks are degenerates. Its that simple. If you have never dealt with them., you havent a clue. and, honestly, what you say on here has no worth.

you havent experienced their destruction. I have, it is horrendous.

Well, I certainly think that if you destroy Foxkidd's weasel mount, the death penalty is appropriate.

What color did God make him?

I don't think the victim's family should choose the punishment when you are dealing with a horrendous case involving a repeat offender such as a serial killer is one example. Giving them life only to possibly eventually be paroled, is a danger to the public. A judge or the jury should decide whether the perpetrator lives or dies.

If the victim of a crime, or the victim's family in the case of murder. says "justice for me looks like XYZ", and XYZ doesn't happen, then justice isn't served, hence we have a legal system and not a justice system.

I would call it more like a common sense call. Kenneth Allen McDuff, perfect example. Here is a serial killer who slips through the cracks and gets paroled. He kills and rapes two young women once he's out who would be alive today if he had been put to death.

He had been locked up and convicted for killing a couple prior to that and a couple women, but the evidence was too circumstantial on those last two to convict him of that crime. Victim's family's decisions are based on emotions, not justice.

Preacher man….he went with a dark walnut stain on that particular one

…. And why did you ask btw ?
