Absolutely. We should bring back public hangings.. have them right here in downtown Shreveport. You know.. we could have a fair, rides for the kids, bands etc etc.. and then a hanging

Back when justice was swift and firm

I'm pro-death penalty but it has never been effective as a deterrent for any society in which it has existed.

[Isaac-Saxxon]

but no repeat offenders so there is your deterrent.

Even if I was for the death penalty, and even if I was pro-public-hanging, I think that a case of a 15 year juvenile should be an exception. (Not to belittle the severity of the crime in any way) But where are the parents who raised this child? What kind of parents and role models were they? Are they responsible in any way?

In the middle east (Islamic countries), I understand that if someone's wallet falls out of their back pocket, that wallet will likely remain exactly where it fell, because they all know that however much cash or plastic is inside it, its not worth getting one of your hands chopped off. And THAT falls way short of death.

Might know where mama is but daddy is mia. Stop and think if is was your wife, mother, or daughter what you would do to that sob. He would be lucky to have the law take care of the deal instead of me. There are allot of people in jail for bs reasons but rape and murder in cold blood there should be none of those people in jail but in a paupers grave or on a dung hill. Sorry guys this one hit close to home.

That's so sad that there is no chance for an honest citizen to pickup the wallet, open it up, and read the drivers license so that he can return it to the proper owner. When you eliminate the chance of someone doing a bad deed, then it is likely that you also eliminate the chance of doing a good deed as well. I bet nobody over there would want to even take the chance of being mistaken for a thief.
