Thirty Nine Cent Bullet Theory

I'm of the honest opinion that if you live a life of evil then you should be judged and sentenced as evil. I am by far not a huge fan of the death penalty but I am not in favor of giving monsters that commit horrible crimes a free life trip to Club Med with all expenses paid! My brother from another mother and I are debating this between our blogs. I am friendly to the thirty nine cent bullet theory when it comes to true monsters in our society that commit despicable crimes against society. John Myste likes the happy pill, feed them, cloth them, treat them, and nurture them theory. Not I!

Take the Nazi's of WWII. I would take out a mortgage to pay that bullet bill. Dr. Joseph Mengele, the monster of Auschwitz, he liked twins to see whatever evil thought came into his mind and how it would effect them. Connecting veins together, organs together, spines together, and every other medical abomination the mind could conceive. Once the experiment ran the course he had no need for the surviving child and they too succumbed to his madness. He was evil, he needed to be stopped, nobody stopped him. He lived to a ripe old age in South America.

Mass murderers, serial killers and such we really don't need that appeal thingy that the courts always go through so the monster lives ten or twenty years after the death sentence. Give the judge a box of bullets and shoot them right then and their! "Bailiff, shoot him!" Your appeal is with your creator.

As a liberal I can honestly say that I have no problem buying the bullet or firing the shot to shoot someone that has raped or murdered any child. No PROBLEM AT ALL. But I am still a liberal. I just defend children first over the rights of monsters. Same goes for someone that rapes, beats and murders and elderly person. Send me the bill for the bullet. Same goes for someone that kills a police officer in the line of duty. Send me the bill. In my mind it is common sense to protect the weakest in our society and those that defend and protect our society from the monsters that have no conscious idea that what they are doing is wrong.

I don't come to this opinion easily. It is an ongoing opinion that could change but I do not see a snow balls chance in hell of that happening anytime soon. Does my opinion and hope for the thirty nine cent bullet theory have legs to stand on? Some say yes, some say no. I'm good to go with it. No CLUB MED for people that care not about their fellow human beings. Their soul was lost when they committed the crime. My bullet is just expediting the delivery for judgement before God.

*** PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM JUST BUYING THE BULLETS - SUPPLY AND DEMAND

*** PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT A GUN OWNER - FIRM BELIEVER IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT THOUGH

Death Penalty Put to Death in Jersey

Calling hours are two to four PM and six to nine at the State Penitentiary on Saturday. Burial will be private at the Governors request. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the New Jersey Democrat Party.

Never having been a big fan of the death penalty I don’t think that I will attend the memorial service. In some respects it is a relief that New Jersey has abolished the death penalty. There are far to many chances that the wrong person can be put to death even with overwhelming evidence. One innocent prisoner executed is one to many. In the past I have had strong emotions regarding putting to death someone that has brutally harmed and killed a child, or killed anyone in a police uniform capacity. In hindsight I have seen that two wrongs will never make it right for the families left behind.

With the latest technology and DNA testing there have been far to many near misses when it comes to throwing the switch or injecting the lethal dose to end a convicted but innocent persons life. Over at MSNBC they have this to say about Jersey’s decision to end the death penalty…

N.J. Legislature votes to abolish death penalty
State is first to legislatively outlaw capital punishment

MSNBC News Services

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey Thursday became the first U.S. state to legislatively abolish the death penalty since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976.
Lawmakers in the Democrat-controlled state Assembly voted 44-36 in favor of a bill to scrap the death penalty and substitute it with life in prison without the possibility of parole for those found guilty of the most serious crimes.

The vote follows approval by the state Senate on Monday, leaving as the last step the signature of Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine, an opponent of capital punishment.

Snip a Noose…

A special state commission found in January that the death penalty was a more expensive sentence than life in prison, hasn't deterred murder and risks killing an innocent person.
"It's time New Jersey got out of the execution business," Democratic Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo said. "Capital punishment is costly, discriminatory, immoral and barbaric. We're a better state than one that puts people to death."

Among the death row inmates who would be spared is Jesse Timmendequas, a sex offender convicted of murdering 7-year-old Megan Kanka in 1994. That case sparked a Megan's Law, which requires law enforcement agencies to notify the public about convicted sex offenders living in their communities. -MSNBC

If someone was found guilty with overwhelming evidence of harming one of my kids or God forbid killing one of them, I’m sure that my opinion as a father might be swayed momentarily as pro death penalty. For that matter I might even want to find my own vengeance and perform the task myself. In the long run I would prefer that the guilty serve hard time with a lifetime of thought on why they are serving that time. Always in the back of their mind why they are in prison. Not just sitting there in some cell with cable television and a radio to be entertained with though. That is no different than living in a hotel in a bad neighborhood. I’m sure the hotel room is cheaper by the day though.

Maybe the solution to the problem of crime in this nation is to stop building these glorified Club Med for gang members and start making crime a real punishable offense. Whatever happened to hard labor and taking ten ton boulders and making beach sand out of them? We don’t do that anymore because that is supposedly inhumane but isn’t that the reason why the prisoners are behind bars in the first place? What we need to do is stop baby sitting these animals of society that have been irrefutability convicted and make doing time for the crime a real sentence.

Might it be possible to build a national prison system where the scum of the earth that have killed children, police officers and IRS agents that cheated on their taxes serve time in a prison with the sole mission of breaking down the Rocky Mountains and moving the beach sand to the Grand Canyon as fill? How about instead of drilling for oil in Alaska we have them dig for oil and all the oil goes to the poor in America? Then again we run the risk of them tunneling to true freedom in China so that idea may not work out after all.

Until we as a society make the alternative of any crime committed against the innocent a real deterrent then gross negligent crime will continue. Till then we have the revolving door of the gang members equivalent of the Super 8. They get a roof over their head, clothing, three meals a day and all the free time in the world to plot out survival and retribution against the man.

Killing them is far to easy. Lethal injection is the most widely used option for the death sentence and falling asleep as if getting a tooth pulled and never waking up is just not punishment enough for my liking. Then again, the electric chair or the gas chamber is just brutality up there with the worse forms of torture. I’d prefer a life long sentence of hard realistic labor.

If I were a family member of someone murdered for any reason I simply would want to know that the guilty persons life is equal to the pain I would have in my heart for the rest of my life. The death penalty is a tough issue and both sides have legitimate logic behind the thought process. I’m erring on the side of caution when there is a remote possibility that the death of my innocent loved one is the result of proof proven false years down the road that put another innocent to death. I would not wish that on anyone’s conscience.

Jury Duty…

I’ve been called to appear for jury duty and unlike many people I am looking forward to it. Many friends and family have told me what I should say to get out of it but that isn’t me. I’d like to be on a jury and see how it really works. It would be an interesting experience and a learning one at that.

So would you lie to get out of jury duty? I promise not to tell anyone what you say but you have to swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Feel free to comment either way… Post anonymous though to protect your identity if you would lie.

What I would love to see from a juror point of view is the lawyers giving their arguments pro and con on the innocence or guilt of the person on trial. Granted I could kill a vacation day and do that any day of the week and sit in the back of the court but being on the jury is different. Two lawyers or if the accused chooses to defend themselves then they have to convince me if the law was broken or if there is reasonable doubt. That is the deliberation that I would have to face if picked as a member of the jury.

I’m wondering if I would be the one person with the question in my mind if the person is guilty or not while the rest of the jury is in the opposing opinion? How do you discuss or argue the points while deciding the fate of another person if you believe one way or the other? This isn’t television where the star points out the obvious. This is real life, real people. Somebody could go to jail or be free. That has me thinking.

I guess I will find out tomorrow.
