A Plug for the Death Penalty

How often do we hear the argument that if we lock up a killer for life "he can never murder again".

I have pointed out before that is completely FALSE! He can continue to murder -- other inmates and the Correction Officers. Plus there is always a chance to escape and murder again on the streets.

From the SeattleTimes.com:
Monroe inmate convicted of second-degree murder for strangling cellmate

A Monroe Reformatory inmate who strangled a cellmate with the draw string from sweat pants was convicted of second-degree murder.

Read the rest on the SeattleTimes.com webiste.

The only way this killing may not have happened is if the murderer was dead due to the death penalty

Just to clear things up!

I am reading a column written by Robert L. Jamieson Jr in the Seattle PI. He says that we should not have the death penalty. That we shouldn't be like Texas. We should be like New Jersey. I disagree!

And just so it is VERY CLEAR. I need to say this to you, because after I am dead I cannot speak for myself.

Should I ever get murdered by someone, I want him to receive the death penalty.

Never should I hear (from beyond the grave) someone speaking on my behalf saying I would want the person to have life in prison.

Heck, I will put a provision in my Will that should I be murdered, my estate shall purchase a 10 foot piece of rope which will then be donated to the prison system.
