Journal: death penalty -------------------------------------------Mood: Thinking... Some people question the theory of eye for an eye until it is themselves on the recieving end of that exchange.. Some people uphold the death penalty until one of their close friends or a relative is awating that dreadful day... Some people despise the death penalty until one of their close friends was murdered in cold blood in such a brutal way that it brings ache to your heart to talk about.....
So its not a question of is it right or is it wrong? The question should be when to use it and when not to use it...
If someone is guilty, BEYOND RESONABLE DOUBT, of such a heinous crime that deems such a penalty then why not...
For example: Richard Ramirez.. Some of you have probably heard of him, some of you probably haven't. He was a guy in the mid to late 70's (I think) that broke into peoples homes and malicously murdered them. I read articles of this guy removing breasts from 80 year old women. Somebodys grandmother. I have also read where he broke into a home of a family of 4. A father, A mother, A 12 yr old son, and a 10 yr old daughter. At gun point he tied the latter 3 up raped the daughter and then tied her up. He then raped the son and tied him back up. Then in fron of both kids butchered their parents. After that he then sadistically tortured and killed the little boy and left the daughter for last. The autopsy revealed that her death lasted approx six hours..........
Now those are just 2 cases of his.. he was convicted for like 13 murders. Things like this happen everyday..
SO DO YOU THINK I WOULD WANT SOMEBODY LIKE HIM SITTING IN PRISON FOR LIFE, WRITING BOOKS AND DOING DOCUMENTARYS SO HIS FAMILY CAN REEP THE PROFITS. NO! IN FACT HIS ASS IS STILL SITTING ON DEATH ROW IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
So you make your own conclusions on the death penalty. I know it's not right to kill. But there has got to be some kind of balance. SERIOUSLY!
PS I've been in some crazy shit, but everything is kind of coasting now.. so I'm just doing my normal thing. Making money, not working, staying on the mic, and sleeping
