It is my personal belief, that the death penalty should only apply in two circumstances: If the individual ( regardless of age, sex, race, personal religous beliefs,) is a guarunteed Danger to society if let out. Examples: Charles Manson, ( although now dead people with the same mindset as John Wayne Gacy) People who if they let them out, they would automatically go to the nearest town and kill for pure fun. I also believe that if a person for instance was cruel enough to break into a home, stab each member of the family 26 time each and then rape their dead bodies.( yes, there are people out there that sick) then yes, they should die. Other than that, I do not believe in the death penality. In a perfect world, we would be able to do something similar to the movie "demolition man" and cyrogenically freeze our offenders and try to rebilitate them. Another Idea is to give them to our military to use as soldiers, so if they die anyway, they die fighting on their feet trying to make a difference. However, these are just random ideas, and nothing will probably come anything of them. However, IF I WAS GIVEN THE DEATH PENALITY, I would snatch up the chance to make my last moments on earth to MEAN SOMETHING and I would want to die on my feet fighting for a honorable purpose. It may not erase or forgive what I did to get me the death penality, but at least "I" would know I did "Something" honorable in my last moments.
