Do you support capital punishment?

[Grizzly]

I'm from Texas, what do you think?

And to people that think housing an inmate for 40 years is cheaper than just executing them, it's not. Not by a long shot. The average inmate sentenced to life in prison will cost the government about 150k to keep or so. To execute someone can cost upwards to 20 million dollars, at least in the US. Why? There are these little pesky annoying things called appeals. Each appeal costs money. And nearly every state requires at least one appeal be heard for a person sentenced to death.

I support the death penalty 100% for premeditated murder. That is it. The punishment must fit the crime. Castrating someone for rape does not fit the crime, sorrry. It is cruel and unusual punishment. Terminating someone's life is not to be taken lightly and should be reserved for certain instances of murder, premeditated murder only, treason the resulted in the loss of life, and acts of terrorism (which, what do you know, fall under premeditated murder).
