"Did you see this thread?" ping
Didn't see it until you pinged me. Sounds like a plan to me. The US waaaaay underuses the death penalty. I'm a pro-death penalty type. For murder, rape, child molestation, arson that kills anyone, kidnapping - punishment should be death. And not after 15 or 20 years. And hanging or firing squad is just fine.
For someone facing certain death, it gives them a chance to repent of their crime, which helps them in their next life. Plus the earth is freed of their presence.
