The Death Penalty, Kids being charged as Adults

[Drake]

I believe the problem with most people who oppose the death penalty is they've never been face to face with someone who would think less of killing someone as they would reading the morning newspaper. Until you've stared directly in the eyes of that individual, you may want to reserve judgement....

i see what you're saying. i'm not just against it because i think its wrong. its because i think its too humane for some of the crimes that are commited. i think if i was watching someone get a lethal injection for killing my mom, i'd feel like he was let off extremely easy, and i'd wish far worse upon him.

I agree with ggiese and drake. I understand where they both are coming from. However I don't agree with the "whole oh you are just 15, you don't know what you are doing bit." I understand that a 15 year old might not know that much about finances, politics, having a job, etc...but we are going to deal with this very subject in my community in the coming weeks. At 15 if you don't know that shooting and killing another human being is wrong, then you aren't even human, no if, ands, or buts about it. At 15 they might not realize the life altering decision of jailtime, death penalty, etc...but rest assured they know damn well that taking the breath out of another human being's lungs is wrong.

Death penalty -

Death penalty to kids over 10 who rape or murder -

I'm also for pitching them in a well and dropping rotting food and putrid water to them twice a week, if they opt for that instead of the death penalty.

i think that's more just than death
