So there's a poll at http://www.canada.com that asks about capital punishment. 58% say it should be brought into use for murderers in Canada.

Personally, I agree. Cold blooded killers, planned murder and swarm killing like what happened to the Virk girl should all be punishable by DEATH! ( preferably public execution, but Ill continue dreaming..)

on another note,, Kelly Ellard and her pals could be the guinea pigs (she kinda looks like a pig too ) - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 10:49am

I dunno. One one hand, if you kill the bastards, they're not going to learn anything. On the other hand, some people are just too sick to survive.. If I had a wife and daughter and some fucker killed em both then yea, I'd want him dead. This is one of those arguments that could go on forever. - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 1:32pm

They're not going to LEARN ANYTHING? Most of us learn not to kill people when we're fucking kids.

I've never personally met Kelly Ellard - but judging by her actions I find her existence offensive and hold nothing but contempt for people that take part in such behavior.

As far as the death penalty goes - It doesn't do anything but create a wider gap in class division.
How many rich folks do you think are standing on death row? Now how many poor people are on death row?

I don't think anybody has the right to take anothers life if it's by use of a foot to the throat or the light switch on an electric chair.

There is one thing that dictates the outcome of if you're guilty or innocent, and that's If you can afford a good lawyer or not.

a good example would be http://wm3.org/ - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 3:44pm

Best justice?!? An Eye For An Eye, that totally works, say, let's dunk Kelly Ellard's head into the Gorge for 5 minutes, so she can experience what she did to the Virk kid. I wonder if those violent episodes are caused by binge drinking hard alcohol, or whether Kelly Ellard is always prone to violent tendencies?!? - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 10:10pm

Personally, I believe in capital punishment but only if DNA evidence proves 100% that the offender is guilty. The only problem with capital punishment is that it does not act as a deterrent. The statistics from the states which condone it in the great U.S. of A. show that the death penalty does not deter anyone from killing. Mostly because these people either are sick, weirdos and figure they will never get caught or because they act out in fits of rage etc. without any thought to consequences.
But even if it doesn't act as a deterrent at least taxpayers will not have to support these scumbags for the rest of their incarcerated lives. It must be cheaper in the long run. - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 10:48pm

Ummm... she's as guilty as SIN! In any case, if this is alcohol related, then perhaps she should detox for her prison stay (not easy to do), or perhaps once she gets out she HAS to stay sober, otherwise back in prison. Why can't anyone see the pattern?!? - Sun, 20 Jun 2004 12:07am

Well if you are not talking shit, and you think someone who commits murder should die, then kill them.

And then some one will kill you.
And then of course some one must kill them.
And you can't let that person live...

Eventually we will have a society of no murderers & no people if all the killers are killed.

Is this a good way to clean up?

One day there will be an other referendum so think about it. - Mon, 21 Jun 2004 11:40am

I completely beg to differ.

Tell that to the family of the little girl raped and killed by bundy after he jumped gate for the second time, had they stuck the pig, a sorority house and a little girl would still be alive.

Personally I can't comprihend what would make any of you want cold blooded killers to live in our system only to be released... they don't deserve anything but pain and death.
Certainly not our mercy along with tax dollars that could go to meny other deserved places rather than the room and board of a killer. - Mon, 21 Jun 2004 12:24pm

Well i don't believe in fully mercy. I think prisons are too soft on people. Prisoners should be treated as cattle, subject them to testing for AIDS and Cancer research etc. Make some good out of the situation, they took from society, now they can give back by being our little lab rats. Killing them is just a waste of a resource that we can reap. - Mon, 21 Jun 2004 12:31pm

the reason we can't kill criminals is b/c we are a stupid and vengefull people, and sometimes we make mistakes and kill the wrong person.

Yes it would be a crappy conversation to have with the mother of the daughter who just got raped. But it is also a bad coversation to have with the mother whose daughter WE killed in a fit of vengefull fury who turns out to be innocent. oops doesn't cut it.

and c'mon, we are creative, I'm sure we can dream up punishments worse than death :) - Mon, 21 Jun 2004 11:59pm

There certainly are many vengance filled vigilante types on this board. Which is exactly why we have a justice system in place. (How many of you have actually been the victims of a violent crime?) No matter what I might think, in the eyes of the Law Kelly Ellard is still innocent until proven guilty. I was accused by the RCMP of something that I didn't do. It was a relatively minor offence but still a huge hassle to convince them of my innocence. What if i had been accused of murder?
The State of Illinois recently suspended using the death penalty. Not because they were going soft on criminals but because it was proven that over 110 inmates (most of them Black by the way but that's for a whole different post) on death row were there on false charges, tampered evidence and just plain bad police work. How would you like to be David Milguard? Even though he spent 20 years behind bars at least he is still alive! - Tue, 22 Jun 2004 8:11am

Great point, but Kelly Ellard is GUILTY. She's a heartless bitch who's already proven she won't change, and she doesn't feel any remorse, she cries for HERSELF, not for anyone she's hurt or their families. Meybe in some cases capitol punishment would have no place, but this bitch is just no fucking good. I say eye for an eye.

I have been the victim of a violent crime, and thanks to my friends and family taking the law into their own hands, the fucker got what he deserved. Our justice system would've given him a slap on the wrist and sent him on his way. - Tue, 22 Jun 2004 8:30am

I'm truly sorry to hear that you have been the victim of a crime, however "taking the law into their own hands" is exactly why we have law in the first place. What is to stop the family and friends of "the fucker' deciding that maybe you were a little too harsh? What's to stop them from retaliating and coming after you and your family and friends? Ever heard of the Hatfields and the McCoys? Our justice system may not be perfect but it's considerably better than any of the alternatives. - Tue, 22 Jun 2004 12:59pm

"The chair eats money in hydro."

The fact is that if a criminal is sentenced to death it costs more to carry it out than it would to support them in prison 'til they die of old age, not from 10,000 volts but from lawyer fees. The criminal has the right to apeal the verdict repeatedly and never fails to do so as a last ditch effort and in states where the death penalty is legal it takes an average minimum of 10 years for the murderer to fry. What we need to do before making the death penalty a reality is fix it so that they can have no more than 1 (if that) apeal and then carry out the termination swiftly so that the family members of the victims can get the justice they deserve with out having the courts constantly bending over backwards to please the criminal. And I always wondered why they bother filling the suringes with deadly liquid for lethal injection. Why don't they just fill them with air? Same result, no cost.
And maybe they could remove the killers eye lids and post a picture of their victims in front of them during execution just to remind them why they're dying. - Tue, 22 Jun 2004 6:47pm

Now this is all just silly, human testing, organ donors, etc.etc. Yahoo now all of a sudden were the ss and torture is o.k. I support the death penalty simply because some people are just too fucked up to ever walk the streets without harming other people, and I dont think we should have to pay for them to sit in jail forever. Killing them costs more huh, maybe the court costs, appeals and so forth, but in a maximum security prison I think it's somewhere around 60,000. a year per prisoner. I think it might actually be more but I cant remember I'm going to have to check again, I used to know those numbers. I cant say I support any of the medical tests or organ donor ideas just for the fact that were just as, if not more barbaric then. There are many ways to end a life humanely with no pain. Just because they deserve to die doesnt mean we should sink even lower and make ourselves monsters as well. But it wouldnt work because sooner or later an innocent person would die and we the people would all be at fault. I can support it in theory and say line them up against the fucking wall, but in reality......... - Tue, 22 Jun 2004 7:33pm
