Virginia executes mentally disabled woman

Really? Cause I can buy a box of 50 .22 shells at Wal-Mart for about 6 dollars, and I am fairly certain that would quickly and effectively take care of 50 death row inmates.

However lets stick with their desired method of lethal injection, if your stupid enough to actually believe that a syringe and whatever chemical concoction they use to lethally inject people costs 2.5 to 5 million dollars, then you don't understand our government. There spending about 100 bucks on the execution and using the other millions to fund whatever "take away our privacy" programs they are working on this month.

I agree with you. If there is reasonable doubt, then don't kill them. I'm not calling for execution on the spot.

But if fifteen people saw you, it was caught on video tape and DNA evidence immediately confirms you as a rapist or murderer, then you know what....too bad, so sad, bye bye.

If you honestly think that lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment for someone who raped or murdered...then you are exactly what is wrong with this country.

Who cares about the supreme court?

You gonna sit here and tell me that if some dude broke in and raped your mother before shooting her in the face, that you wouldn't want to see the son of a bitch fried?

Then instead of killing them, we should set things up for them to be gang raped and left for dead just like they did to their victims.

Earlier I was not calling you anti-american, unfortunately your outlook is very american. Thanks to bleeding heart liberals and crying hippies who are so concerned over the concept of human rights, and cruel and unusual punishment, and political correctness. We have forgotten the basic concepts of right and f**king wrong.

Sitting in a rent free, air conditioned, well mantained room. While being served three hot meals a day, and doing excercises and watching tv in between IS NOT PUNISHMENT!!! For half of these people, that is a better life than they were leading in the first place!!

But I tend to agree that a state mandated, court appointed death penalty is not the answer. However I disagree with your concept of taking the family out of the picture.

I say that if some guy rapes a mans wife, that man should have ten minutes alone with that guy in a room with no windows, and no questions asked.

If some piece of trash murders a mothers only child, that mother should be handed a nice metal baseball bat and be sent into the room where the miserable c**ksucker is handcuffed to a chair.

Maybe then, just maybe, people will consider the consequences of their actions, and think before going out and ruining other peoples lives to get money, or thrills, or drugs or whatever it is that drives them.

I just hate how the ing appeals process takes so damn long..

That is what annoys me the most.

Speed that crap up and get them executed in 10 years max.

CA pisses me off that they have only executed like < 30 in 30 years when there are like 500+ on death row including some who have exausted all of their appeals.

But I am happy that this latest guy is getting executed this Wednesday. He so deserves it for raping a 15 year old girl and then strangling her with her own shoe laces. Then he had the audacity to call her home and tell her mom where her body was.. Yeah rub it in you stupid ing freak. ing scum can burn in hell. It's just sad that he gets a painless route to hell. He so deserves to be burned at the stake!

It sucks.

I wish it would speed up but I doubt it...

Getting rid of the death penalty won't lessen the prison population. It would just make the scum live long lives when their victims were not given that opportunity.

I like my plan better.

Kill them faster!

Realistically, the states should be (and do to some extent) handling this on their own rules.



Because those people are not elected.



Anyone who gives a excrement what the Pope says about a national issue should be booted from the country.



They should be killed for both. It's a complete violation of human rights and a complete violation of another person's freedom. We cannot take these issues (rape, murder) lightly.



The Constitution is a great thing, but the Supreme Court decisions about rape can be overturned.

Yes, states should handle things, but they do have to listen to the Supreme Court. Otherwise, schools in some states might not be integrated. Inter-racial marriage may still be banned in some states. States would get to choose if they Mirandize people.

We elect our leaders who nominate the judges and we elect others to scrutinize the pick and confirm or deny the person.

I personally couldn't give a s less about what the Pope says, he was just bashing liberals and hippies so I thought I'd throw religion at him.

If the Tea Party has their way, we'll be executing rapists and forcing the rape victim to have his baby.

The Constitution is a great thing. Roe v Wade or Brown v Board of Education could be overturned as well. But the Supreme Court doesn't overturn them, they just chip away at them.

Sure the ban on executing those who rape adults could be overturned, because it is a completely different court now than it was 33 years ago. But the ban on the death penalty for child rapists will stay in tact, because that ban was only put in place 3 years ago and we still have the majority of that court on the bench today.
