If you are going to suggest an alternative to the death penalty, make sure you aren't fucking retarded before you do.

It is more expensive to put someone to death than it is to keep them for life in prison w/o parole. Prisons are overcrowded b/c of DAs that are elected who have to appear tough on crime so they sentence people to long amounts of time for stupid crimes. I saw some city attorney actually seeking jail time JAIL TIME for selling alcohol to a guy already intoxicated. I saw a DA try to seek 4 years for someone walking away from a halfway house when he had 2 wks before he was supposed to be released. Mental institutions are overflowing b/c republicans keep cutting back the funding, so it's not space that was there and is filled up. It was filled up and they decided to get rid of that space.

justified when the state does it then? To put themselves in the same position which the state looks down upon? Saying "hey murder is wrong...so we are going to murder you".

I disapprove of the death penalty. But, I suggest a lobotomy in favor of a death penalty
