Three felonies is enough. Anybody who has been tried and convicted of three felonies on separate occasions has almost certainly committed hundreds more. We should kill any three-time felon with no more regret than putting down a rabid dog, because that is all he is.
Ah, you say, but his felonies were mostly non-violent... Well, I say even three non-violent felonies should earn him the noose. Such a man is a lifelong burden and plague on all of his fellow citizens.
Two violent felonies, or even a first offense for particularly horrendous violent felonies like premeditated murder or forcible rape, ought to merit the same treatment, every single time.

“We should kill any three-time felon with no more regret than putting down a rabid dog, because that is all he is.”
Is that a quote from Jesus?
