Just a thought...

Don't you think we're too easy on our criminals?

I'm not talking about the 'weekend criminals' that commit their crimes, serve their sentence, and don't (necessarily) commit more crimes when they finish their sentence. I'm talking about the hardcore re-offenders. The criminals that get out a parole and start right back up in their life of crime. The escapees, the gang bangers who feel as if they have a special loyalty to their gang, serial rapists (sex offenders), chronic criminals basically. The people that are in and out of jail.

These people really don't deserve to be anywhere but dead. They're a cancerous growth in a civilized society. The whole 'three strikes' deal shouldn't end with a life sentence, but with a death sentence. What's the point of a criminal that repeatedly commits crimes to waste our tax dollars in prison, and most likely commit crimes while within prison? Just shoot them a couple times in the head and dump them into an unmarked grave. Problem solved. They do not need to be alive. Rehabilitation only works on the people that show genuine remorse, and work in prison programs that do something good.

I've always believed that rapists should be killed (not turned into a eunuch, they always find other ways to rape). They rarely are rehabilitated, and if they're dead, that can't re-offend. Shoot them a couple times in the head and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.

Murderers that continue to murder in prison should be killed as well. They're doing somewhat of a service, whacking criminals already in prison. But they usually don't whack the right criminals, so shoot them in the head a couple times and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.

Criminals that keep going in and out of the system, death. They do nothing but muck the system up and waste valuable time and tax money. Shot them a couple times in the head and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.

Convicts with draconian sentences, you know, those sentences that consist of several life terms and three death sentences? And those criminals that have solitary for life sentences? Yeah, if they aren't working in prison creating something useful for society, but committing more crimes, death. Shoot them a couple times in the head and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.

People with death sentences. Get the fucking thing over with. If they're sentenced to death, don't let them sit on death row for ten or twenty years. Don't try and abolish the death penalty, what the fuck are you thinking? It's the best thing going for dealing with criminals. Kill them the same day as their sentencing, really, just shoot them in the head a couple times and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.

And you might think this is a little cruel... No. It is not, it's efficient. Also, if these people are innocent, I'm pretty sure an innocent man never stops fighting his sentencing, unless they're lazy and what not. I will gladly allow people to fight their sentences because they know that they're innocent. It helps get the police on the ball and capture the right guy. Which they need to get better at doing, seeing as one innocent man sent to jail is one too many.

Also, you know the Bernard Madoff type? Yeah, those kind of criminals, rich bastards who swindle, they deserve life in an eight by ten cell with a toilet, table, and bed. That's what a rich criminal who does what Madoff and other like him did deserve.

Anyways, you want an idea that'll stop crime levels real quick? Look to the Spanish Inquisition. Reinstate the brilliant torture devices they used, and crime levels will drop real quick. Because I believe that all criminals deserve punishment for being complete assholes. The US Constitution protects against cruel and unusual punishments (probably because of the Spanish Inquisition), but if you make these punishments usual, and use the ones that fit the crime, then they won't be cruel. And in turn, crime levels will drop, because the Spanish came up with some mean shit during their Inquisition. If that mean shit were to be used to punish criminals these days, criminals would see that crime really doesn't pay, because if you get caught, there's a nice torture device on the other end of the system. Crime will drop, because people do not want to be tortured.

But that might just make criminals better at committing their special crimes. So the death penalty is the best we have going. If they get caught, and get convicted decisively, they get killed. No more criminal committing his special crime. Problem solved. I think Stalin would have liked this. After all, he said, “Death solves all problems - no man, no problem.”

Death is not cruel, death is not unusual, death is something everyone has to face at one time or another.

You wanna know what a buzzkill is? Just after I posted this up, Gov. Bill Richardson signed a bill that repealed New Mexico's death penalty. Fucking hell...
