[Left Hook Tua]

**** i'm old.

i haven't been to a pool hall since probably 2000.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

some states execute more.

in california , more death row inmates die of natural causes than actual executions.

I'm not buying that, if the avg stay is 12 years, I highly doubt that is true.

I am on the web site deathpenaltyinfo.org and it says other wise. Look man, if you are going to make these statements then some of them have to be true.

These are execution by state:

GTFOH, you trying to tell me 15 years or less on death row, the last meal, and lethal injection/electric chair costs more than 30-40-50+ years of a life sentence... must be long list on that last meal.

from the website you quoted:
FINANCIAL FACTS ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY
• The California death penalty system costs taxpayers $114 million per year beyond the costs of keeping convicts locked up for life.
Taxpayers have paid more than $250 million for each of the state’s executions. (L.A. Times, March 6, 2005)
• In Kansas, the costs of capital cases are 70% more expensive than comparable non-capital cases, including the costs of incarceration.
(Kansas Performance Audit Report, December 2003).
• In Maryland, an average death penalty case resulting in a death sentence costs approximately $3 million. The eventual costs to
Maryland taxpayers for cases pursued 1978-1999 will be $186 million. Five executions have resulted. (Urban Institute 2008).
• The most comprehensive study in the country found that the death penalty costs North Carolina $2.16 million per execution over the
costs of sentencing murderers to life imprisonment. The majority of those costs occur at the trial level. (Duke University, May 1993).
• Enforcing the death penalty costs Florida $51 million a year above what it would cost to punish all first-degree murderers with life in
prison without parole. Based on the 44 executions Florida had carried out since 1976, that amounts to a cost of $24 million for each
execution. (Palm Beach Post, January 4, 2000).
• In Texas, a death penalty case costs an average of $2.3 million, about three times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at
the highest security level for 40 years. (Dallas Morning News, March 8, 1992).

This is what happens when you stomp someone in the head thinking it's ok or cool to hand out "justice" like Insect wanted to do in the other thread.

Now these kids who stomped on him are facing life in prison for something so stupid as this.

What happened to fighting fair? What happened to not following what other people want you to do?

Man this generation is full of cowards. The same thing could have happened to the kid in the video on the other thread. Killing someone is easier than you think, a few blows to the head and you can end someone's life.

Imagine living during the Dark Ages of Europe. It's unfortunate, but that's the harsh reality of life. It's been going on since man first walked this planet.
