I could see suspending them if we were euthanising dogs/cats/horses. I mean, those animals really shouldn't suffer if they are being put down. But murderous criminals? Nah, let the bastards suffer.

Quite frankly, I don't want to be a murderer, and I don't want the government, as representive of myself to murder either.

Executing a murderer isn't murder. It's called serving justice.

mur·der  [mur-der]
–noun
1.   Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).

jus·tice  [juhs-tis]
–noun
1.   the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness: to uphold the justice of a cause.
2.   rightfulness or lawfulness, as of a claim or title; justness of ground or reason: to complain with justice.
3.   the moral principle determining just conduct.
4.   conformity to this principle, as manifested in conduct; just conduct, dealing, or treatment.
5.   the administering of deserved punishment or reward.
6.   the maintenance or administration of what is just by law, as by judicial or other proceedings: a court of justice.
7.   judgment of persons or causes by judicial process: to administer justice in a community.

I'll be in favor of ending executions of guilty murderers as soon as we put a stop to murder.  And not a day sooner.

I prefer giving them a real punishment, and not an easy escape.

Yeah, a jail cell with three square meals a day, workouts, tvs, libraries..damn thats a hard punishment.

I'm sure a man who rapes a little girl, burys her underground alive and tortured her deserves to spend the rest of his life being protecting in a nice jail cell. (John Couey) Sorry, that son of a bitch deserves to have nothing less then a rope strung around his neck and his sorry ass swinging from a tree somewhere.
