I don't know. I have never been able to see the benefit of the death penalty. I feel for families that go through such pain of losing their loved one. I think there are different degrees of grief(one not being any better than the other...regardless your loved one is not coming back). I think I could handle losing a loved one to natural causes a lot better than them being brutally murdered. I think the death of anyone by another human is wrong point blank. My reasoning for not supporting the death penalty is this: I feel as though giving them death is the easy way out for their punishment. I feel sitting in prison day after day after day having to face what they done would be literally torture for them. I also feel that everyday they are here on this earth is one more day that they can hear the gospel and turn their life around. My husband and I see differently on this. He is a supporter of the death penalty...so we get into some civil debates about it. What is your take on it and why do you feel that way? I would love to keep this civil and for both sides to put their views on the table.
What prompted this journal?

I do not condone what so ever what this cruel monster did to this little boy. I can not imagine the grief this mother must endure on a daily basis. Because, I don't support the death penalty does not mean I support the killer or have no feelings for the victims and families. I just thought it would be an interesting journal topic to see how every came about to form their opinions...who knows maybe even change mine! Also, for those who are Christian and used Bible scripture to form their opinion please feel free to post it. I am very interested in where scripture has led you. Please, no name calling and cussing.

I don't want my taxes going to keep their butts alive.
First, I have in the past read about studies on sexual abusers, pedophiles, child molesters...whatever you want to call them...I call them EVIL...spawns of SATAN!...that these people are not ever going to be rehabilitated...and lets face it...that is not what the prisons are set up to be or equipped to be...there is no rehabilitation going on in the prisons...if anything there is more evil happening...2nd...our prisons provide everything for prisoners...meals, roof over their heads, free cable tv, free gym, free libray, free counseling, free medicines, free medical care, free college education...and I am sure I could think of more...3rd...must murders/rapists/child molesters have no conscious to begin with..so living in prison day after day means nothing to them...most have no remorse whatsoever!
So, as a law abiding citizen, who struggles day to day financially, who is paying back a huge college loan...it infuriates me that we as law abiding citizens of this country have to support people who are pure EVIL..not sick...pure EVIL! I STRONGLY support the death penalty...it should be done MUCH MORE than it is done...it would clean out the prisons quite a bit...if there were true consequences in our judicial system...maybe it would deter others from such EVIL and VIOLENT behavior...Sadly our judicial system is totally messed up because it is run by man...many of which are evil and of a depraved heart themselves...
I am thrilled that Florida will finally execute this man...it will bring closure for the family...it may not bring their precious child back...but is will bring a sense of justice for them...WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO RIGHTS OF THE VICTIM AND THE VICTIM'S FAMILY...It is deplorable that our country has become such a violent and evil country...there was a time when you could leave your windows unlocked, doors unlocked...when children could walk SAFELY to school or ride the bike SAFELY to school...when you saw some one with car trouble...you could stop and help...now you have to worry that it could be an EVIL LURE so the person can do you harm...now predators are out numbering us...law abiding citizens...now predators ram your car..so you will pull over...just so they can do harm to you...
No, I have no problem with the death penalty...I have no problem with public hangings brought back as a way to execute convicted murders/rapists...we shouldn't have to spend the money on electricity or on the lethal injections..hanging would be cheaper...
Yes, I do realize there are innocent people in prison...I am talking about executing the violent convicted murders/rapists...those that there is so much evidence..physical evidence...not just circumstantial evidence...execute them!!
MORE POWER TO SHERIFF JOE!

If you want biblical verses to support capital punishment...simply google...biblical verses capital punishment...there are many in both the OT & NT...
If you want to read studies that proof men like this...murders/child rapists CANNOT be rehabilitated...you can also google it...
I have already done my research in the past...and know what I think and believe...and will not be convinced any differently...
