Why hasn't Michael Devlin been sent to Guantanamo Bay?

sorry, but how is this in any way political or of note to the PDD?

I don't think we need the death penalty. I'm quite sure his fellow inmates will deal with him justly. People who fuck with kids don't last very long in prison.

The CORe can deal with that.

How is the death penalty really even punishment again?

Tax payers put up a bunch of money (far more than it would cost to imprison him in federal pound me in the ass prison) so this guy can get the easy way out? No thanks.

unfortunately, the alternative (keeping them in jail) costs more money, and is starting to the reach the point of "cruel and unusual punishment".

i mean, shit, you take away a prisnor's cable TV and all of a sudden you're robbing them of their rights and shit and people get in an uproar.

when really, common sense should tell you, "they're in fucking jail, dumbass".

i remember hearing about a guy who was executed via lethal injection; and apparently it took longer than normal, or they had to inject more than one time, or something like that....anyway, the guy's family tried to claim it was "cruel and unusual punishment" because his execution didn't go right. fucking stupid.

He's only guilty of loving too much.

Actually, I am pretty sure that life imprisonment is cheaper than the death penalty as it is currently implemented.

uh....i've always read the exact opposite
here's a source:

quote:

Radelet said the cost of executing a prisoner in Florida averages about $3.2 million, mostly in trial costs. Keeping that same person in prison for life costs only about $600,000, and the millions of dollars spent on executing prisoners could be put to much better use, he said.

I've never heard of the life sentence costing less than the death penalty

ed:
also, i think its better to keep them in prison on the off-chance that they might be innocent (not in a clear-cut case as this, but hey). nothing cruel and unusual about life if what you did was horrible enough to forfeit your right to live in civilized society (like what this guy did).

It is. Or at least that's what the news has repeatedly stated.

How the hell does that work?

Take a gun. Point it at their head. Pull the trigger. You're down however much a single bullet costs.
