God Led Him To Kidnap & Rape, Go Figure!

No man deserves death. Life is a gift however, not right. We each choose what to do with it. People like this choose to throw theirs away.

are you trying to say life is not a right?

We are all taught while growing up that for every action there is an opposite reaction. Whether by the actual Physics law or indirectly by living life from day to day. You can pretty much put anything in an "If-Then" statement.

If you do not do your homework, then you will receive poor grades.

If you do not watch what you eat, then your health will deteriorate.

If you work hard in life, then you will significantly increase your chances of reaching your goals in life.

If you do not obey the law's of the governing body under which you live, then you will be punished according to those same law's of which that governing body deems fitting for the crime.

With that said according to some websites that report statistical data on state capital offense lists, he is not eligible for the Death Penalty under Utah's laws. So I must respect the law of a another state. If Elizabeth had died during her capture most definitely we would be having a different discussion. So in his defense the punishment fits his crime according to the law in which the crime was commited. Although I sympathize with some of you in regards that in the heat of passion many would wish for Utah's courts to make an exception just this one time.

As far as Capital Punishment goes, it is widely accepted worldwide that if you commit murder, then you will be rewarded for your actions by being put to death for your crime. It is a determent. This is not oppression of government or some incredibly unbearable law that is hard to follow. Don't murder someone. There you go, you won't have to worry about a death penalty. It is a responsibility the government has to its citizens to insure and maintain order. Do they get it right each time? Is the system perfect? Have people been put to death that should not have been. No, no, and yes. It needs some tweaking in my opinion to truly filter out those whom are guilty and those whom are innocent but in general the system works as it should and many of us here will not butcher our neighbors into pieces for playing loud music at 3a.m. If we didn't have laws and penalties for breaking these laws then we would have a crap ton of psycho's out bathing in a mock zombie apocolypse. My pantry isn't stocked with enough food yet for the Zombie Apocolypse so lets hold off on letting the psycho's run lawless for a bit longer... mmmmk?

Can you read?

You my friend are a tool and should shut up unless you want to be in the same category as the people you are attacking.

every person*

Dude, gtfo, your posts are full of spelling and grammar errors, sometimes I can't even understand what you're even saying, and you're calling other people out?! Are you sure you're not Stanflame?

Oh god, you're so crazy.

If we can prove that anyone's god doesn't exist then we can prove there was no conversation.

true, in the meantime we'll just call them *** nuts, or is that not PC enough for everyone?

We can't...

Clearly the guy mentioned in the OP wasn't crazy. He was just doing what god told him to do. However, that would imply that god is crazy. How can god be crazy?

...and for people to get some sort of sick satisfaction out of their death.

The Unabomber, responsible for killing a number of people back in the 90's, did not get the death penalty because he plead guilty.

His punishment is to sit in solitary confinement -- a small, completely sealed box only a few feet on a side -- for the rest of his life. No books, no TV, no crafts, no exercise, no visitors, no recreation, no interaction with guards or other prisoners. Forever.

I don't know about you, but I would rather be dead.

This is why they should have the death penalty on a volunteer basis.

I wonder if that would work.

Somebody answer me this: why do you feel the need to put a captured inmate to death for their supposed crimes?

To make room for more prisoners.

I was just thinking of prisons like a business. If someone is so crazy that they need to be kept under guard at all times, it would probably just be cheaper to kill them.
