Death Penalty- Killing 3 times and your NOT out...

1. Yes I did do a mistake, I was suppose to be Pro for death penalty. My bad =P 2. I didn't really mean a 3 strike rule but I was using it as an example. 3. I didn't intend to have the current state laws applied since that is what we are trying to debate about. And even if the prisoner wasn't able to get out of prison, there are more criminals titled as murders in prison then out. That is because most criminals get in prison for thief or drugs (for example). Then they join gangs and the gang leader orders them to stab or kill another gang or race. --- I guess that is how you get your 2nd or 3rd kill. 4. I see a death penalty as getting rid of the criminals who have had chances and regretted it. They have taken other people's lives. These criminals did have a right to choose the results of their lives plus the lives of the ones they killed. I personally would rather kill then be killed. 5. Yes there are tragedies that occur in the process in a death penalty. I'm against the criminals feeling pain as well. I would be amazed to know that a state still uses "the chair" to execute a prisoner. I am in favor of "the shot". Yes, the injections have failed in some cases. But some reasons are because the veins of the criminal were hard to find. Many of them work out to gain muscle, hoping the injection will fail and they will survive. Recently, doctors and scientist have improved machines on finding the veins of the criminal to inject. 6. I am not "allowing" a person to kill again. ---for example-- The first sentence is about 10 years of jail and something else (like probation or whatever). The second sentence, let's say, is 25 years to life in prison. This still doesn't mean the prison can't kill another prisoner. On the third murder, after the prisoner is guilty, it is common sense, the prisoner has not changed and/or prison has not affected him. What else are we suppose to do? Ban him/her from the US and let another country worry about this? Are we suppose to make eye contact and say don't do it again? I believe in an eye for an eye but with chances and opportunities to redeem yourself. But takes the lives of 3 and expect to go back to your cell and get food and a place to rest everyday doesn't seem like a punishment to that person. I actually don't see it as a punishment now. It is more like letting the after-life handle our problem. If there is a "higher power", then let them sort out the naughties from the nicies. Or if nothing happens, well then, nothing happens. We just don't want a person like that in our country. And letting others solve it seems lazy and irresponsible. Note: I'm picturing a typical gang member who has killed 3 or more people and is serving life in prison. Let's say we are the judge and he/she has been proved guilty clearly. We have to decide to put him/her back in a cell or dispose of a murderer that has complete loyalty to a gang and is willing to kill again. I know there are special cases of murderers that have psychological problems or the murder wasn't painful to the victim (quick shot to the head or a cynine pill). But that is what I'm seeing as a typical serial murderer.
