I don't object the money spent putting some of these animals away for a lifetime and even the lesser crimes where rehabilitation could be possible. I do object to keeping some on death row for 20-30 years when guilt is beyond any doubt and the perp confessed, dna etc....
As for the Boston bomber I was just saying it hardly matters if he got death penalty or not as it probably won't happen or if it does it will be 20-30 years later when the American public memory will have faded and the view will be softened by then and a new trial or trial by public opinion will hold it up yet again for another 10-15 years or so.
I know many people who are tired of the 'catch and release' justice that is prevalent in the US but cannot say so verbally because it is not politically correct to do so.
I do object as a taxpayer to inmates getting sex change operations on the taxpayers dime.
I object to inmates suing because they don't like the food or it goes against their religious beliefs. Hello! it is prison! it is not supposed to be pleasant. I am not saying they should be treated inhumanly but good grief.....
I do object of quite a few cases I know of personally where a guy goes to prison, gets his education all for free, gets out and refuses to pay his child support or works all under the table so there is no paper trail. I object to these same guys getting social welfare while they continue to party & do drugs all on the taxpayers dime while their ex wives and kids live in poverty. But now I am off subject.... the whole system is messed up.
Maybe if the judges, psychologist and the parole boards were held personally responsible when they let some of these dangerous ones back into society only to re-offend or they had the pedophiles living next door to them things would change.
