As a former lawman and prison officer, CP is long overdue. The "
JUSTICE SYSTEM " ????? is so far out of line today that the supporting,
Judges,Lawyers and Politicions should hang with them, to pay for their
Stupid,Criminal behaviour that has caused so much terror,sufferind and
sorrow to so many innocent people. Sadly, they think they are doing a wonderful
job in this upside-down system. Talk about Alice in Wonderland?????? God
help us. William D. Daly <william_daly@telus.net>

I am only 15 and I strongly believe that Hanging should return to the
UK and Canada etc for murder. People say it does not deter but since it
has been suspended in the UK the murder rate has doubled. I also want it
to return because I do not look forward to paying taxes to allow murderers
to live the life of riley. People say it is cruel on the criminal. To some
point it could be true, but having your neck broken by hangman's rope or
being knocked out by 2,000 volts of electric current is certainly less
cruel than been tortured to death slowly. People say that innocents get
hanged. To that I must say oops. Anyway isn't there now such thing as forensics?
Last March doctors in London found James Hanrtty guilty of the murder he
was Hanged for in 1962! So no one from Amnesty International tell me that
innocents get executed when that chance is now just 1 in two million. By
the way nice site! Matthew O'Dowd Liverpool, Great Britain - Sunday, September 02, 2001 at 09:25:18

hello my name is kirk rose i was naimoi's friend, and father figure
for 3 years, now she has beentaken from me , her, father and her mother
and everybody that loved her so much. what a horrible way to go for the
sweetest loving little creature in the world. i am so angry, this monster
had previous charges as a youth, but as young offender, he was protected.
now he will go to jail and get 3 squares a day in protected custody most
likeley and i get to help foot the bill out my taxes. for his board &
room. this makes me want to vomit. i think the death penalty is espesially
good for child rapists-killers what family could not possibly see it this
way? i would like to help, there is huge support for it in saskatoon. please

Here I am again. I have watched a TV program, and it shows that some
police pick out a random person with a mental problem and call them the
peratrator! They even claim that the "Killer" confessed! This has happened
to several people and they were Put on death row! Only some were proved
innocent. Not all cops are straight. Mark Martin <martymark@bigpond.com.au> Perth, WA Australia - Tuesday, August 21, 2001 at 22:20:22 (EDT)
I have just figured that I will nver like an american. Look at all
you who think that just taking the life of a perpetraiter is justice. It
just con tinues the vicous cycle. And what happens if they are INNOCENT
but it is to late!? You cant go back and say "Sorry" for that blunder. Mark Martin <martymark@bigpond.com.au> Perth, WA Australia - Tuesday, August 21, 2001 at 22:06:49 (EDT)
Do think that if you kill them, it will make a difference?When someone
is dead, they cannot even make amends. Killing them just creates another
crime. Death is not actual suffering, they just feel pain for a moment,
then die. All it does is satisfy you need for revenge, and that is NOT
worth it. Mark Martin <martymark@bigpond> Perth, Australia - Tuesday, August 21, 2001 at 21:58:42 (EDT)

Dear Sirs, Can we afford to warehouse evil? Subject everyone to DNA
testing , a policy from birth among the rest of the vital statistics. I'm
sure that this will prove the innocent, to be innocent & the guilty,
to be guilty. Once the doubt is removed so is the argument of executing
an innocent person. We can worry about the evolution of human beings to

I feel that there are just to many sickos being let loose back in to
small towns. I think the first to go is consecutive sentencing. Basically
you are telling rapists go ahead rape one and then as many as you can before
we catch you. 6 rapes 20 years each. Should they do 20 years or 120? I
feel you do the crime you do the time. When I was a kid and got in trouble
if my mother put me in my room for 5 min and I did something else she would

Scum like McGray, Bernardo, Homolka, the Sydney MacDonalds murderers,
Allan Legere, and Clifford Olsen, sit in prison and wait until they can
be released back into society to re-offend. Do you think people like this
can be rehabilitated? Quite honestly, taxes are high enough, why pay rent
for these dirtbags? I think it's time to stop talking rehabilitation, and
time to start talking about building a lethal injection facility in Kingston! David Stead Toronto, OT Canada - Monday, July 23, 2001 at 12:04:32 (EDT)

I am all for capital punishment.If all the evidence and DNA proves
a 100% that a person commited a murder, they should DIE! They shouldn't
die quickly either, they should die the same way they killed. They should
feel the same fear and pain that they caused.Especially those who killed
a child who couldn't fight back, a child who trusted the person that took
there life. It's also not fair for the familys to pay taxes to feed,and
educate the the person who killed someone they loved. F. Roman <cfroman@telusplanet.net> Grande prairie, ab Canada - Wednesday, June 13, 2001 at 01:01:16

well of course captial punishment works just forget the studies done
by the respected Throsten Sellin in 1962, 1967, 1980 that proved that in
the states capital punishment did NOT deter crime. and lets all forget
the 5.75% of innocent people on death role in California alone after all
whats a little innocent death its jusice right. Oh yes its completly fair
just because 53% of people on death role are color. Out of that colored
catorgoy 42% and out of death role cases 83% of the victims where white...nationally
only 50% of all murder victims are white since 1970 74 people have been
released from death row based on evidence of their actual innocence. (Staff
report, House Judiciary Subcommittiee on Civial and Constitutional Rights,
October 1993) and besides all the other "great" countries are doing why
the USA is along with Iran Iraq China are the major advocates and users
of capital punishment and we all know that we have the $1.25 million US
to dish out for each capital punishment case since thats how much more
it costs then a regular murder case. Besides we all know how all major
religons "condone" it. Maybe a better soloution is life in prison with
no chance of parole after all in California out of the 1700 people that
went through this alternative have never been released. Chris <sirhc55@yahoo.ca> Sk Canada - Tuesday, June 12, 2001 at 19:00:46 (EDT)
Paul Bernardo used a CIRCULAR SAW to cut those two St Catherines girls
bodies into pieces. HE deserves to die. But according to those stupid anti
death penalty people, he shouldn't die. WELL F*** U anti death penalty
people. You think that lethal injection or electrocution is cruel and unusual??!!
What about being cut into pieces, or shot in the eye, or have a steel pole
shoved up your vagina?? That's beyond cruel and unusual, not for punishment,
but for being innocent. You stupid anti death people are complaining about
cruel and unusual punishment-get a life. Going to sleep and dying isn't
painful (lethal injections) electrocution is (maybe-probably)but think
of what TED BUNDY and PAUL BERNARDO AND KARLA HOMOLKA DID!!! Karla Faye
Tucker had an orgasm after using a pick axe to stimulate her pussy, after
she murdered some people in Texas!!! ORGASM!!!! Shame on the Canadian Government
for not putting Bernardo to death. If you don't want to put anyone to death,
put atleast Bernardo and HOmolka to death. Life in Prison, watching Tv,
exercise gym, and other shit that costs taxpayers money for them bastards
in jail. Kill them. Murderers don't deserve to live, but even the most
sickest ones, like Bernardo live under the fucken Liberal government which
should be ashamed of not executing Bernardo that devil, he's a DEVIL!!!!!! Raj <slick_rick2k@hotmail.com> Winnipeg, MB Canada - Tuesday, June 12, 2001 at 12:37:29 (EDT)
Capital Punishment should never have been abolished. First of all,
people can do the crime and do minimal amount of time for punishment. Even
children know that they can get away with murder. Literally get away with
murder, with just a slap on the wrist. What ever a person can do to another
innocent human being, they should have the exact same thing done to them.
I may sound cruel hearted, but you would see the crime rate drop tremendously
with just a few executions. Second, it is sad to see that a criminal can
get treated better, get whatever they are in need of, with our hard earned
tax dollars, and most Canadians are sick of paying for them to have a better
life in there. Take a look at Victor Hoffman, the Shell Lake Murderer,
who murdered 9 people early one morning while they were sleeping. He is
happy where he is and never wants to leave prison...why is that? Because
he is fed well, clothed well and gets minimal security and goes out on
day passes. What about the family who suffered his brutal murder? What
about the two children who were left behind? He deserved to be put to death.
The baby that he shot didn't deserve to die, as neither did the rest of
the family. My views are firm and I seriously wish that they would bring
back Capital punishment. The Young offenders Act too should be abolished.
If,lets say, a 16 year old murders someone, their name should first of
all be plastered all over the news, then, if they are old enough to take
a persons life, then they too are old enough to suffer the consequences. Kerry Wilson <kraw@hotmail.com> SK Canada - Monday, June 11, 2001 at 03:38:46 (EDT)

cases, did not know who killed them and also know why they were killed,

I rather see prisons and jails abolished,before capitol punishment...If
you believe in the Bible,and that the old testament still applies,due to

it is the right thing to do,if it is handled properly...............STEVE......................... STEVE <STEVEDOROTHY> wintergarden, fl US - Saturday, June 09, 2001 at 19:51:10 (EDT)

At the moment our legal system is a complete sham. We have pedophiles
getting away with absolute evil and let out to repeat their crimes. These
people are now very well organized and are trying to make the public receptive
to their "choice" of sexual preference. When I think of a child being snatched
off the street, abused in the most horrid way, sometimes for days on end,
and then killed to save their sorry a...s, it seems that our justice system
is not dealing out TRUE JUSTICE. We must have JUSTICE in the complete sense
and bringing back the Death Penalty would provide society with the ultimate
punishment for such monsters as Bernardo, Homolko,Lucas etc. etc. We have
to protect our children in every possible way. Margaret Patterson <Mscottykilt@execulink.com> Brantford, On Canada - Sunday, June 03, 2001 at 09:16:09 (EDT)

Putting murderers away for life is a joke. Laws change and so do parole
boards. People forget the past. Those are a few of the things that cause
life in prison to weather away. As long as a murderer lives, there is always
a chance no matter how small, that he will strike again. I cant believe
that there are still people (law makers)naive enough to think that they
can be rehabilitated. Somebody who willingly take the life of another human
being should automatically forfit thier own. Bring back the Death Penalty! Gwendolyn A Tennant <creativeedge1@home.com> Calgary, AB Canada - Tuesday, May 29, 2001 at 15:54:07 (EDT)
I have thought seriously about this issue for quite some time now and
I think that If someone is found 100% guilty of committing a seriously
wrong crime (rape,murder..etc..)Then they should be put to rest.They should
lose their life as they have taken someone else's.They deserve the capital
punisment. THey are only kept in jail for a limited amount of time and
whne they get free from jail no one can be honestly sure that they're not
going to get out and committ the crime again,which could be another innocent
persons life taken.Another point is that the criminals put in jail do not
suffer much in jail.They get everything they need in there. HOW IS THAT
BEING TAUGHT A LESSON?!? Kristen <kristen_loves_steve@hotmail.com> Lr Sackville, N.S Canada - Monday, May 28, 2001 at 10:08:29 (EDT)
Clearly you are a group of right wing rednecks who need the facts,
and need facts that areactually correct, it has been proven that the death
penalty does not deter crime. It has aso been proven that life sentences
are cheaper than electric chair or even lethal injections (according to
a 1996 study done in all states with the death penalty). Also, 8% of all
people killed by the death penalty are innocent. Prevent this loss of life
by controlling your blood lust. If you are going to keep complaining, move
your redneck right-wing brain to the USA and maybe you'll mix in with all
the people there who have the same IQ as a houseplant. Michael Brown <speedskatersrule@canada.com> Calgary, Ab Canada - Thursday, May 24, 2001 at 23:34:02 (EDT)
"When one uses one's head more thoroughly, one sees that death more

You shoot a rabid animal when it attacks a child because it has a disease,
criminals who thrive on inflicting pain, injury or even death upon other
people are sick, if you can shoot an animal without thinking twice about
it, you can sure as hell rid society of these type of people, people who
are just going to get smarter in prison. Prison doesn't rehabilitate, it
makes them harder criminals. So, im all for Capital Punishment. Syanne Nakatsu <Sweet_Ass_2001@Hotmail.com> Brockville, ONT Canada - Wednesday, May 23, 2001 at 15:45:33 (EDT)
to ensure innocent people are not put to death, have the death penalty
for repeat offenders. on your 3rd (4th, 5th we can vote on the number as
a country)conviction you get one appeal with a panel of judges. if you
lose your appeal you are summarily executed. young offenders can be made

I strongly believe there are two issues that need to be dealt with
in Canada. One is to due away with the Young Offenders Act.... If you are
old enough to commit a crime, you are old enough to be punished for it.
The second is to reinstate the Death Penalty.... If you are sick enough
to murder an innocent child or anyone else for that matter then you deserve
to die. Cindy Bradshaw <bradshawcindy@aol.com> Kitchener, ON Canada - Monday, May 21, 2001 at 21:03:01 (EDT)

Here is a website supporting the capital punishment: http://www.deathpenalty.nu David - Saturday, May 19, 2001 at 12:31:06 (EDT)
Society has this unspoken agreement: we all behave with a measure of
respect toward each others' property and persons. This way we can all live
at peace with one another. The arrangement frays when property belonging
to us or to our fellow citizens is stolen or vandalized. The unspoken agreement
is not being upheld. It breaks down altogether when one among us murders
another--especially in a wanton, terrifying act of sheer power-lust over
someone powerless. I'm sure many of you have heard of Jessica Koopmans,
the five-year-old girl abducted in Lethbridge and found dead in a pile
of branches south of Ft. Macleod. Her grandfather was able to make a tentative
ID of her, but the forensic lab in Calgary still needed to do a DNA confirmation.
Her face was badly mutilated. Someone said it was bite marks. Until recently
there was a sleeping monster among us, and one day it woke up and claimed
a victim. That social understanding which knits societies and builds civilizations
was strangely absent from this individual. There's been this stealthy lie
circulating throughout human history, counselling that it's okay to put
yourself first and foremost. It's a real charge to play God over someone
else. "Do it if it satisfies." I think we've all been tempted with this,
one way or another. I expect nothing less than a scrupulously fair trial.
The presumption of innocence is a very important legacy for us. We have
to be absolutely sure that the right person has been hauled to account
for this act and found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In no way can
we allow our demands for a quick closure sway the need this situation has
for due process. It's vital to know we have the perpetrator. What I suggest
next is that we execute him, ourselves, in defiance of the Canadian government
and Justice Minister Anne McClellan. We need to see the evil exterminated,
and there's a very sound reason: it's not just retribution for what he
did to Jessica. It's for the present and future safety of every law-abiding
person from this predatory individual. There's no such thing as a jailbreak
from the dead. Anne McClellan's hypocrisy is such that she'll stiffen the
penalties for abusing animals (and so she ought), on the grounds that animal
abusers graduate to attacking other people (and she's quite right: they
do)--YET SHE OFFERS NO SUBSTANTIVE PROTECTION FOR PEOPLE!! Her department's
outlook is skewed! You'd be better off as her hog than her son. People
who oppose capital punishment seem to move on the premise that there's
no such thing as a capital crime. As we've seen in Lethbridge, that's wrong.
I don't believe we should have a "hang-'em-high-&-whoop-it-up" lynch
mob mentality, the way death penalty opponents like to depict us as having.
But I know this country was a safer place back when its government allowed
itself the ultimate penalty it could exact from a wrong-doer. And as we've
seen here, sometimes it's the only appropriate response. Tom <fristle@aol.com> Lethbridge, AB Canada - Friday, May 18, 2001 at 21:26:57 (EDT)

They have DNA now, so, if it's definately proven that a person has
comitted murder, then why are we keeping them alive?? It's costing the
taxpayer too much to keep a murderer in luxury in our "resorts"..They get
the best of everything, & don't have to work for it..They have committed
a crime of murder, & SHOULD pay with their lives..I don't know why
our politicians do not understand that most of us Canadians really DO want
the death penalty back [as long as we know they actually DID it] &
that goes double for pediophiles..I think they should be tortured before
they are executed..That is the WORST sin that a person could commit, as

Murders who are convicted of murder, and they positively know its
that person, like an eyewitness or something, those murderers should be
sentenced to death. Those two guys in B.C who brutally beat and killed
3 people in their home,to collect life insurance, should be executed. The
United States asked Canada to send them to the U.S to face execution, but
Canada refused, saying that they shouldn't face execution. THIS IS NONSENSE!
I'm OUTRAGED TO HEAR THAT MURDERS (BRUTAL ONES LIKE THESE TWO) AREN'T EXECUTED.
We don't need people like these in Canada. Infact,rape is a very bad crime
too. Think of how the victim feels. Rape should have a death sentence as
well. Finding out that "John Doe" did do the rape is quite easy. DNA tests,
etc, and then sentence that rapist/murderer to death. The government made
Canada a quote "safe haven" for criminals. Shame on the government. We

I believe anyone who kills or brutally rapes someone, male or female
should be killed at the very least. In my opinion they should be tortured
severely first and die very slowly, especially if the crime is committed
against a young child. Sexual predators of children make me sick and I
would love to pick off every last one of them. Thank you, Warren Young Warren Young

They both should burn in hell. I do not believe in captital punisment
but in the case. They should be done away with this was not a circustancial
case but hard proof was there. How these lawyers can defend such low lives
as these. Imagine when Karla comes out as a physcologist, who the hell
wants to be treated by her, I have teenage daughters and I sure as hell
do not want to see that murderer on my street. When is the government going
to wake up and protect the victims instead of the gulity. It must be nice
to have an eduacation paid by the government, why in the hell do you not
pay for every hard working citizen in this country instead of that animal.
Karla and Paul you might think the Canadian people will forget you, but
be sure that WE WILL NOT. YOUR JAIL WILL BE WHEN YOU COME OUT OF THOSE
PROTECTED WALLS YOUR IN NOW. YOUR HELL WILL START. IT IS ABOUT TIME THE
GOVERNMENT TAKE A STAND AND PROTECTS US FROM THE LOW FORM OF CREATURES
THAT EXIST IN OUR SOCEITY TODAY ACT NOW. Josie <7596cruz@home.com>

You little disposible pieces of dog feces! If I see any convicted murderer/rapist
on the street, I will spit in their face for the pain they have caused
others. There is no excuse. We would love to see these felons executed
on the CBC. I'm sure Molson would be willing to make an advertising campaign
for it too! "Hanging night in Canada", damn, I can see the fierce Capatalism

I believe that we should go back to hangings on the court house
lawn right after the trial. You may say "what if you convict the wrong
person", to that I must say "oops". If there is a trial, and there was
enough evidence to convict, then kill them, if you happen to kill an innocent
man then let that be a lesson to all that we will not tolerant crime. If
we bring back the dp then we must also not be afraid to use it. If no one
else is willing to push the leathal injection plunger to put the rope around
a neck then call me b/c I would be more than willing to do the country,
actually the world, a favor. I'm also very sure that most victim's families
would more than happy to do it themselves. We, as a country, need to be
more concerned with rights of a victim as opposed to the rights of the
convicted. I can barely afford to feed myself and yet I'm paying for the
scum of the earth to life in the lap of luxery. If you are in prison it
should be prison, not a vaction from life in the real world. They should
be eating only bread & water, sleeping on a thin mattress, with no
pillows and only a small blanket, with no tv, computers, books, free education,
healthcare, telephone, or visits. Take the money we pay in taxes to pay
for the scum to live and give it to the victim's families, I will gladly
continue to pay those taxes if the money goes to the family. Let's make
this a safer country for our children and their children to live in. Please

My beloved sister was stabbed over 50 times on May 29/96 in Vernon
B.C. by a convicted killer on parole. I don't beleive that a murderer can
be rehabilitated. This beast had wanted to go back to jail, because he
couldn't get work on the outside. Rightly so! I wouldn't have hired him
either if I'd known he was a convected murderer! My sister did not get
the chance that beast did. No one told her that he was on parole for murder.
Not the parole board, not the corrections board. It has been chalked up
as a screw up. So my sister paid with her life. She wanted to live and
she loved life. The message that the Canadian Government gives me is that
they only care about their own, not the poor suckers that pay their wages.
If it was a member of their family, then maybe we would see some good in
the justice system. With D.N.A. now a days, there is no reason that capital
punishment could not be reistated in Canada. You have my vote when it comes
to bringing it back in. Any one know of good lawyer to sue The National
Parole Board and Canada Corrections Services!! Sure would like to see my
sister's young grandchildren have a little more then a letter of appology.
The letter of which I speak was addressed to my nephew in regards to his
sister. It was his MOTHER that was brutaly murdered and they couldn't care
to even get the letter correct. No one has taken accountability and we
have no hope healing. Gale Redan <chevylupus_2000@yahoo.com>

Miss Reeves, I presume that by your e-mail address that you are
still a student at Simon Fraser University. Evidently, though, you were
probably not around when Canada had its referendum on the abolition of
capital punishment. I was. I remember the days when we didn't have to lock
our doors before we went to sleep. Now we wouldn't dream of doing that.
We now have home invasions resulting in murder, multiple murders and countless
threats to our well-being. Most of us may take it for granted that the
world is a crueler place than it was before, but our justice system is
a laughing stock. We have a two high-profile multiple murderers in jail
for life, one of whom is hell-bent on milking the appeals system for as
much as is worth, spending taxpayer's money each time, even flying out
to BC on one appeal. I don't appreciate working 40 hours a week supporting
that type of scum so that he/she/it can get a college education and parole,
and then go out and kill for fun again. So do me a favor and cork that
bleeding-heart rhetoric, because I'm sick and tired of hearing about rights
of the criminals. It is about time the pendulum swung a shift to the other
side and brought the victims' rights to mind. Hugo Chikamori <hchikamori@yahoo.com>

Is any fed up with the interminable delay in executing this child
killer, Robert Coe, in Tennessee? As far as I am concerned the governor
and the clemency committee have made their decisions and he should have
been executed by now. These late legal challenges should not be allowed.
The case has to end. No one gains from all this legal manoevering. Every
issue in connection with Coe's case must have been explored by now. He
has been on death row since the early 80's! I was at school then! Does
any one feel the same frustration as I do on this ? What about someone

Some good points made this month on this web site. Looking through
the publication called Death Row 1998 I see that many death row inmates
came to death row after long career of violent crimes. The bleeding heart
liberals in the criminal justice system allowed many of them out on parole
after only serving a fraction of their sentence for rape/armed robbery
etc. It was too bad that someone had to pay with their life to ensure that
these people were permanently removed.Repeat offenders should be executed.
Convictions for 3 felonies should mean execution! Executions are only expensive
because do -gooders make them so. Appeals should be limited and cyanide
gas pellets and bullets are not expensive. Executions should also be held
in batches of 4 or 5 to reduce prison staff costs. Allan Robertson <barrie.robertson@talk21.com>

I partially disagree with the death penalty,and I know you'll Agree
with me when I say why. They make it look like a joke, don't they see how
many people it's hurting when they sometimes cause the death of innocent
men. Sometimes the jury needs to worry more about peoples innocent lives
that they ruin, than hurrying home and getting it over with some unthought
about verdict. They need to wait and see evidence of them being innocent. Deedee Sheniqua Anthony <deedee@yahoo.com>

In my eyes there is a dangerous notion that the law is the paramount
concept in our legal system. I say our court's exist to deliver Justice,
and that the Law has no meaning or purpose other than to serve that concept.
A Law that does not serve justice, is no law to me. How many criminals
go free because of incompetance and loopholes that permeates our laws and
our courtrooms, notwithstanding our police forces as well. I support Capital
Punishment under only the most objective of circumstances, where there
is NO dought as to the guilt of the accused. I support it because the innocent
deserve justice, and the guilty damn well deserve justice as well. John

Even though I am not a Canadian, I would just like to say that the
DP should be brought back to Canada. I know that the murder rate has dropped
because of consistent sentencing since the DP's abolition, but I believe
that reinstating the DP could bring it down further, like it has in my
country of the USA. Indeed, ever since executions in my nation has become
more and more frequent, the murder rate has dropped dramatically. In fact,
the FBI reports that the murder rate has been the lowest than it has ever
been in 30 years. Opponents talk about the risks of a wrongful execution
in the DP's use. Well, being a moral and just individual, I won't avoid
taking issue with that risk, however, the risks involving the DP is not
nearly as dangerous or as insensitive as the risks and flaws that are associated
with abolitionist standards. Indeed, under the liberally influenced criminal
justice system, the murder rate skyrocketed along with the number of repeat
offences, and those who endorsed those liberal standards never showed the
morality or the responsibility to take issue with those lethal flaws. That
is probably why the vast majority of people around the world favor the
DP, because the DP never treats even the most hypothetical and highly unlikely
of risks with as much contempt and disregard as abolitionists treat countless
of real life incidents involved with their standards. This is what confirms
the DP's superior level of responsibility and morality. Wesley Lowe

I was always taught that two wrongs to make a right. When a man
commits murder, he is committing a wrong. He's given life imprisonment
in Canada, and the dealth penalty in part of the USA. I don't agree with
capital punishment because what right does the government have to murder
and murderer? Executing him isn't going make hiw wrong right, only add
another wrong the list. I don't agree with Canada's deffinition of life
imprisonment. When a man is sentenced life, he should be in prison for
life, not 25 years, no early parole. Mimi Carbonnell <mimi147@hotmail.com>

I believe that those who DON'T support this cause lack compassion
for the innocent victims and hold very soft values. The argument that "you
don't have a right to kill" is a contradiction in terms. By allowing criminals
to go free, the country is not doing its job to protect us. By creating
shelter, and providing clothing for these people (and I use this term loosely),
our gov't is mocking us. We are paying them not only to fix our roads,
handle our social programs, etc but to look out for us in EVERY respect.
If the most fundamental right we have is "life", the gov't is failing to
protect that. People that argue that the price is killing the innocent
are selectively forgetting that even in today's system, there are times
where the innocent are jailed. Would you rather spend 30 years in prison
being raped, attacked, and stripped of your rights, or die? Furthermore,
with DNA testing, the chances of convicting an innocent person are HUGELY
diminished. Until someone experiences violation first hand, perhaps there
eyes won't be open. I, on the other hand, don't need to be violated to
know that by killing a criminal we are doing right by our country. Not
only are we saving tax dollars that could go to clothe and shelter an innocent
homeless person, but we are ridding that chance that this person will commit
another crime. Not to mention that those who are contemplating commiting
a crime, might think twice if they know there life is at stake. I can't
believe that someone whose daughter is raped and killed by someone would
support that individuals right to life. Too many people are hypocrits in
this world. What do we do with garbage? WE GET RID OF IT. Neelam Ahooja <nahooja@ca.ibm.com>

I know I've entered an opinion already but I just read about someone
who asked what the difference is between war and execution. Consider this
quote said by a wise man many years ago: The executioner stands ready to
kill, knowing that those he kills are sadistic and criminal, a soldier
stands ready to kill those he is told to whether they be their dearest
friend or the greatest of men. You anti-death penalty activists make me
sick. YOU yes YOU! are the reason Paul Brenardo lives! You saved his life.

The Death Penalty is a must. All that is needed for evil to triumph
is for good to do nothing. That is what we are doing if we do not kill
those sick individuals who commit murder. And for all you spinless psyco
sympathizers who believe that execution is murder check any dictionary.
It says in plain english that murder is the UNLAWFUL killing of an individual
with malice and forethought. There is no malice in an execution. We are
giving those criminals what they deserve. I think that societies obsession
over the feelings and rights of the criminals is sickening. It's just like
a person who spends all of there time sitting and cooing over a pile of
human feaces. Sick and abnormal. They are the embodiment of all that is

I believe that if you kill someone,your life should be taken. An
eye for an eye is what I believe. If we let people off so easily there
will never be any fear for those who break the law.In other countries,there
is no death row on which murderers wait for 20 years to pay for their crime.They
take you out back and shoot you.In some countries they even make your family
pay for the bullet.Now please tell me what's wrong with this picture? Katie

DOES ANYONE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE OR WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY? MURDER
IS WRONG! WE SHOULD NOT TAKE THE LIFE OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT WHICH IS SET OVER US TO GIVE THE PUNISHMENT
TO THOSE WHO DESERVER IT. GOD SAYS "HE WHO SHEDS MAN'S BLOOD, BY MAN SHALL
HIS BLOOD BE SHED". IN THIS STATEMENT HE GIVES THE GOVERNING AUTHORITIES
THE RIGHT TO PUT TO DEATH THOSE WHO MURDER. AMEN! A. Thurow

of killing Mindy Tran in 1996. She was, I think, 8years old and he
took her into his house, raped her, killed her, snapped her body in half,
and stuck her in a suitcase for "transportation". Her body was found by
Mission creek by a man walking his dog. Another man who should be put to
death is the man who, in westbank, befriended, molested and forced , 6
little 7 and 8 year olds to have sex with each other whilst he video-taped
them. When he was arrested he was incarcerated until his trial in January
2000. At this time, IF he is charged, he will be eligable for parole within
10 years. Is this Just?

Like Canada, we too serve an injustice to our cityzens by not reinstating
the death penalty for murder. The arguement that the government has is
that there have been too many mistakes and that certain innocent people
have been executed. This may very well be so, and we must not ignore such
an important point. However, modern science and policing are well equiped
to sift out real and tangiable evidence in many cases of murder. Therefore,
those that are truly guilty can quite rightly be executed, promptly. Where
there may be doubt with some ones guilt then the issue for the courts is
to acquit. I'll come back later on these issues. Thanks. Jason Cheriton

I am a Canadian pursuing my education in the States. While I love
Canada, I have to admit that its sometimes a relief to return where I'm
not inundated by the bleeding heart criminal apologist nonsense disseminated
by Canada's dainty, effete, hand-wringing liberal crowd. Here in Ohio,
criminals cannot count on touchy feely pats on the backs from leftist politicians
and media types. This is because its fashionable here to shower violent
criminals with the contempt they so richly deserve. Everytime I cross the
border into Windsor on my way home, I can almost feel the paternalistic
snobbery and cowardice that defines Canada'a leaders and thinkers' attitudes
toward crime. The quest to bring capital punishment back to Canada will
continue, no matter how much it horrifies the granola munching wet noodles
at the Toronto Star. Keep up the good work! Andrew Andrew Lindsay <alindsa2@pop3.utoledo.edu>

We should remove those elements of sciety that are obviously beyond
saving. Clifford Olson and Paul Bernardo come to mind. It would be far
less burdensome to the State to pay a hangman to do the deed, rather than
pay considerable sums of money to feed. clothe, and otherwise sustain what
some people insist on calling "human beings". The Paul Bernardos and Clifford
Olsons of this world gave up their humanity the moment they committed their
crimes against society. The only treatment they should expect is retribution. Geoff Gander <au998@freeenet.carleton.ca>

I have been reading the comment found here in reguards to Capitol
Punishment. Being a Christian I find the misrepresentation of God and his
requirements on justice to be an offense. One commenter suggested that
God forgives a rapest or murderer and so should we. This is an offense
to justice. God declares himself in the Bible to be Just. He has given
Governmental officials the right to execute those who violate his Law-Word
by taking the life or violating (through rape) the life of another human
being. Yes the writer was correct in stating that God forgives and so should
we, but that does not negate the repercusions of an action. For every action
there is a reaction. Everything we do has a cause and effect. You take
a life of a man, then "by man shall your life be taken." Capitol Punishment
is not only allowed by God but commanded. So before you start quoting Christian
principles check out the source. Danny <Danny1976@hotmail.com>

Those that commited murder more than once, must die. If someone
killed once, there is still a hope he would realize it was wrong, after
a second time, there is no hope. It's not an eye for an eye issue to me,
but rather clearing the society from people that have a high potential
to murder again. This will also allow to cut on taxes from feeding these
morons for the rest of their lives, and honestly, I don't care about their
families either. It was partly their fault rasing such a child. N Petrov <npetrov@rocketmail.com>

My father has been a corrections officer for about 17 years now.
For most of his career, he has worked at Coxsackie Correctional Facility,
which is a Class B Maximum Security prison. The people that are in this
prison are mostly rapists and murderers. My father has told me of many
incidents of staff assaults. He has been involved in some of these incidents
also. I believe that these animals are exactly that...animals. They don't
deserve the right to live. Not only do these creatures injure or kill civilians,
but when they are in prison, they also attack the people that we pay to
protect us. Why should they have to risk their lives every day just so
murderers and rapists can enjoy a free ride in prison? I believe in "an
eye for an eye." Unfortunately, we must limit ourselves to forms of capital
punishment such as lethal injection, the electric chair, and the gas chamber.
Personally, I feel that they should get what they have done to their victims.
Unfortunately, no humane person would want to have to do such sick things
to another person. Kristen Darling <bg25593@binghamton.edu>

If we bring Capital Punishment back, and kill criminals for what
they have done wrong, are we not as bad as them. Take the "David Millgard"
case for example. He spent 22 years in prison, and was finally found innocent.
If the capitol punishment was in, society murdered a man and therefore
are guilty murderers. Should they get the Capital Punishment? Besides,
people who are rapists, murderers, arsenics, etc., should suffer a long
life of torture like they made others suffer. Paula Frenz <p_frenz@hotmail.com>

Reading further down this page, I notice that someone has stated
that it is cheaper to keep a prisoner alive than it is to execute them.
No. It's not. It costs $46,000 a year per prison in Canadian dollars (roughly
20,700 $ American). That is over 1 million dollars in 20 years (Canadian),
or over 500,000 American, whereas the average execution only happens once
and costs - execution alone- $875.00 the second trial costs $116,700 roughly.
Still over five time cheaper and safer than keeper a killer alive. So to
all those who are Self righteously Pro Life. Forget that argument. In fact-

For all you people who do not agree with the death penalty at all,
I'II tell you something I think you should put into consideration. If a
man does a series of at least 25 rapes on young girls and out of that kidnaps
2 very young and innocent high school girls, takes those girls and rapes
and torments them, then kills them (one of which he cuts her body into
seperate pieces, then puts the body pieces into cement and into the bottom
of a lake) and his wife who is also badly beaten confesses the whole story
to the police and shows them where the dead girls bodies are!! Now do you
not think this man should get the death penalty or should he remain in
prison in his own privated cell where no one can see or talk to him as
he watches t.v. and hard working Canadian citizens work there butts off
to have sooo much money taken from them to pay for this scum to live. Don't
tell me you don't think this scum of a pig should be able to live . When
every single bit of evidence is there to definatly prove of his guilt!!!!!!!!!!!! ME
here, ON Canada - Wednesday, March 24, 1999 at 16:02:25 (EST)
I think that the person that killed someone else should spend life
in prison and if they get killed there it is there own fault but I do not
belive they should have to die for it. Look at the people who were put
on death row and 5 years later that it was found that they did not even
do it because the real person confessed. So I am so not for te death penalty.
Of course like anyone else in the right mine I hate the stupid bastereds
that rape girls, Kill people or anything else of that matted but I don't
think that takeing their life because they took someones is right. You
punishing them for killing someone by killing them???? Thats not right
at all, So to you all think before you speek. Brooke

to see other murdered for crimes that they did not commit, such as Guy-Paul

for them to be fed three meals a day, an education, a warm bed and many
other luxuries. Well honest hard woprking families are condiered rich to
have these needs met! Criminals are given life sentances but according
to canadian law the jails can onlyt keep them for 15 yerars tops. So what
they fake model prisoners and are out on parole to commit unimaginable
crimes once again. They are getting a free ride and making us look like
fools. The goverment has to open their eyes and bring back proper justice.

Being a Canadian citizen I must strongly agree with capital punishment.
I'm sure there is not one Canadian in this country who is happy with the
fact that Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka are getting there punishment
(as the government would say) in there own private prison cells with televisions
and whatever else. In the case of Paul Bernardo where the evidence was
outragous and there was no doubt AT ALL, that he was not the killer and
that he planned and enjoyed tormenting those two girls. I can not see how
anyone would let him live at all let alone the way he is. The death penalty
is not for every person who kills seeing as some cases are honest accidents
or where the evidence is not strong enough, but if any person plans to
kidnap and extermly torment someone and then burtally take that persons
life then their life should be taken to. I had a friend die when I was
12 years old she got hit by a drunk driver. I will never forgive the man
who did it but I would also never agree to the death penalty in this mans
case seeing as my friend died in a accident, not a planned out murder.
Also if the government says it costs more for the death penalty(ya right)
then let Kristen's and Leslie's family into his cell for an hour or two
and then we would save the government alot of money wouldn't we?! Lisa McMurter <mailto:BJ%20McMurter%20@%20web%20T.V.%20Net>

I feel that the death penalty should be brought back for on certain
curcuimstances, like I don't believe that killing a person under the age
19 no matter what the crime they did is right I think they should be given
a chance to live life , to be in jail don't get me wrong but still live
life. I am 16 and female so I believe that molesters and rapests should
get the death penalty some one like Clifford Olson and Paul Bernardo, they
I think should rot in hell they are complete scum. I also think only repeated
murders should die, Everyone but rapest and molesters should be given a
second chance, some might be saying what a hypocrate but have you ever
seen what it does to a person when that happens it's not pretty, I also
think that becasue I believe they (offender) are in a concious state of
mind at the time of the offence. I also think that with this comes together
most rapest, and molesters are repeaters and that sickends me Tara Jackson <jacksont@jpsec.sd73.bc.ca>

As a resident of of a US state (Michigan) that does not have capital
punishment. I can identify with the frustration of the decent, law-abiding
people of Canada. What must it take before our respective, supposedly democratic
governments listen to their citizens and put the rights of the innocent
before those of murderers. Capital punishment would not only foster a sense
of justice and keep our streets safer, it would build greater respect for

As an idealistic teenager in the 60's, I was strongly against the
death penalty. Now that I am a hard working, tax paying citizen, and have
left the illusions of youth behind me, I strongly resent having my tax
dollars going to feed, clothe and educate creatures like C. Olsen et al.
I find it very hard to believe these entities could ever become human.
Why are they wasting my money and the good oxygen others rightfully deserve.
Get rid of them and use our tax dollars on something worthwhile. Hundreds
of dollars a day to keep each one in a cell...or about 35 cents for a bullet?
Not too difficult a choice for me. Audrey Nunn

I think some one this page are a bit excessive.But I'll admit to
feeling quite outraged myself.There is just no other way to deal with some
people.They are not going to rehabilatate clifford olsen or paul bernardo.Lets
get real.Why warehouse them for 50+ years.Even if it does cost more to
execute(WHICH I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE)It would open up more space and time
for our system.And with that said when has the goverment of Canada ever
worried about spending more moneyFirst of all leave that idiot in Texas
alone to fend for the mess he got himself into(Which by the way was tyeing
a women to a bed a beating her to death)and serving the honest good people
by protecting us and not the scum clogging up our prisons.I would really
like to see the figures on death versus life in prison.And not some joe
petty thief but the PROTECTIVE custidy that we provide for the extremists.I
think the goverment is way more afraid of vigilante justice then a child
murderer yet I can't see where they are leaving us any choice to protect
ourselves.Speak up Canada they can't ignore us forever.I hope!! wayne goodrich <waynes@agt.net>

In a society like our own we should deal with killers in a way that
expediates death not glorifies it for all to see. Immediate execution of
convicted killers is the only way to protect our families and our world.This
may sound inhumane but in a world that glorifies its outcasts its the only
real way to exterminate the misfit killers of today. Craig E <waterbound@hotmail.com>

I strongly believe in Capitol punishment. I think it is wrong that
we spend so much money helping these convicted criminals to better themselves
when we don't even do that for innocent people. These people chose to do
the crime, they should have to pay the price for their actions, no matter
what that is. These people do not deserve to live like a "KING" or "QUEEN"
for breaking the law. Why do you think the crime rate is so high it's because
most of these people will be living better in prison than out in the real
world. We waste to much money making their lives better than we do on the
sick, dieinf, and homeless. I am outragged at how the justice system works!!! Shelly Malkogainnis <lmlkgn@aol.com>
Copperton, UT U.S.A. - Monday, January 25, 1999 at 01:01:41 (EST)
I have been employed within Canadas judicial system for the past
15 years. During this time I have seen it slowly fall apart. Canadas Correctional
system and National Parole Board have painted a picture for all of Canadians
that says our system corrects criminal behaviour, or as they put it rehabilitates
criminals and sets them free from our prison system. The rate at wich our
criminals are released every day in Canada far surpasses the rate that
exists in the U.S. As a matter of fact on a per-capita bases, Canada releases
and incarcerates 5 times the amount of prisoners than the U.S. and has
3 times the crime rate as the U.S. Could CAPITAL PUNISHMENT in the U.S.
be a contributing factor in these statistics, or is it our pathetic prison
system. I feel it is both. Canada has to change. In Canada, if you rape,
kill, molest children, or do some other horrific crime, you get placed
in a single cell or "suite" furnished with a color television, computer,
the latest in Nintendo systems, coffee pot, bed and toilet, and on the
range is your fridge and microwave oven, with pool tables,table tennis,
and other rec. room luxuries. You get bacon and eggs in the morning, a
hot lunch every day, and a full course dinner, that a journyman cook, cooks
for you of course. You have state of the art recreation facilities from
top of the line weight rooms, squash and racquet ball courts, gymnasiums,
hockey areanas complete with hockey equipment, and some even have a full
size pool and 9 hole golf course. You get 100% dental coverage, eyeware,and
all other healthcare expenses, including a sex change. Why you can even
have your wife and family visit you in your own private apartment for up
to a week at a time. Seems a little far fetched? Do some homework on the
topic and you will see otherwise. There are law abiding people in Canada
I know who do not live life this good. And what does our country give to
the victims of these crimes, things ranging from higher taxes to cover
higher prison system costs, higher insurance bills, since you had to make
a claim, or the terror of knowing that very soon that person who raped
you will be back on the street in no time. Why will he be back? Because
the prison system tells him if he takes a program that the National Parole
Board will give him his early release. Picture a child molester, someone
who has the ability to gain your trust in letting him babysit your child,
or taking all the required programs to show the National Parole Board how
he is ready to go back into society, the only problem is the week before
he could be seen masurbating to seasame street in the privacy of his cell.
Criminals take programs because they are rewarded with early release,not
because they genuinely want to better themselves. Stop rewarding criminals
for taking programs, and you will go from 90% of the prisons population
taking programs to 2% with the genuine desire to better themselves. Seems
a little low? Why do we have one the highest prison return rates in the
world? Bring back Capital punishment and a stricter prison system, and
our crime rate could suddenly be reduced. If criminals want rights, than
they should stop committing wrongs! Dan Dionne <dionne@hotmail.com>

As a person who has worked in the canadian prison system under the
provincial government as well as the federal government there is no bigger
joke than the word rehabilitation anyone believing t hat criminals are
paying a price in our prison system has never set foot in one. State of
the art recreational facilities is what they have become. Our government
is more concerned that the criminals rights are not bieng infringed upon.
Do not believe for a second that CANADIAN criminals are paying a price
in our prison system today. The question should never be whether capital
punishment is a deterent, I have never heard of anyone being executed coming
back and harming society. . As a canadian i am sickened by our judicial
system, not only are we against capital punishment, we seem to have a problem
extraditing other countries murderers because they don't have a problem
with capital punishment. If you buy into the idea that murders are sorry
for there crimes and won't do it again you'll believe anything. The distinction
between the human race and the animal kingdom is the ability to distinguish
right from wrong, bad from good, the ability to care and to feel and understand
that all actions have consequences.This is what distinguishes us. Remove
the above and what you have is a predator. Predators are hunted and killed
by there own. In Canada,however, we house them in there own private rooms
with all the luxuries taxpayers can provide for them. We councel them,
entertain them, feed them, educate them, take care of all medical needs,
and on weekends we set them up in pretty little private apartments so that
there loved ones can visit with them on weekends. Once we have given them
all the mothering we can we tuck them into there beds at night with the
knowledge that all there possible needs have been met, all the criminal
has to do under these terrible conditions is behave and take the proper
programs available to him/her and they will be rewarded with early parole.
So now that we have rewarded them for their criminal behavior what have
they learn't. What happens when you say enough? Here's a test for all the
bleeding hearts who have not been directly affected by crime in this peaceful
country. Take a walk in the forest and when a predator (take a pick there
are so many) approaches give them everything you can and quickly because
they are impatient, when your pockets are empty and you have nothing left
to give tell them that in a nice way of course and watch the outcome. When
its done ripping you limb for limb tell me them you didn't feel killing
the predator was the right thing to do. bridgette white

Not as a deterrent, not as revenge, but as simple, straightforward
application of the law. It seems everything has to be done these days to
guide an individual to rehabilitation. That is great, but not what justice
is all about. It is about meting out, impartially, a punishment that fits
the crime. Capital punishment is the payment for the needless taking of
a human life. Plain and simple. In a world of 'human rights' where are
the rights of the victims, unprotected society, those forced to spend years
side by side with psychotic killers? As for cruel and unusual punishment,
a society that believes mercy killing is okay, why not put a murderer to
death for everyone's sake (often his own as well)? I could go on and on....but
there are others who will be heard. Jeremy Boyce <jboyce@sprint.ca>

I think criminals deserving of the death penalty should be burned
alive in public not only because they deserve it but to scare the crap
out of would-be-killers. Burn them at the stake. they should suffer before
they die, killing them quickly and painlessly is b.s., its doing them a
favour. We should cruely and unusually punish monsters that cruely murder
innocent people. Dan

someone is sentenced for life they aren't always there for the rest of
their life(which is another reason why I believe in Capital Punishment) Jen

who went to the same school at Kristen.. and I think life imprisonment
on MY tax dollar is way too leniant.. I think that lethal injection is
too easy as well.. I vote for these criminals and those like them should
be put to the OLD form of capital punishment. I sincerly hope our goverment
realizes the injustice in letting them live behind our government walls. Terri

I am a first year student for the Police Foundations program. I

their criminal act. They are injected with poison and die falling to sleep,
think of how Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy left this world. Just try
to imagine being in their shoes, imagine your family going through the
pain they are..and always will be. They were smart, beautiful, and full
of life...,yet they died such a unfair death...and the sub-human who tortured
them still lives, able to feel pleasure, to eat, to read. Shame on our
government for not dealing with Bernardo in the Just and Fair manor. Killing
him as he killed those girls...would be un-humaine....but injecting him
with a painless dose of poison...is MORE than fair considering. It truly

I take great exception to seeing slimeballs like Paul Bernardo and

The pendulum of the justice system has swung too far in the favor of the
criminal to the detriment of the victim. Can we forget the victims who
died at the hands of these murderers and say truthfully that we "don't"
want the death penalty back. I think not. Don't bring back hanging. Bring
in the electric chair or the gas-chamber. Forget lethal injection, that's
too kind to these monsters. The politicians had better wake up because
one of these days, we should stop paying taxes if it goes to keeping these
pathetic excuses for human beings alive and content in jail. Clifford Olson

Those who believe that the death penalty will solve the problem
of violent crime are misguided. Bringing back the death will never solve
the issue, and only perpetuates the problem at hand. The death penalty
is nothing new. This issue has been rehashed so many times before. The
issue is to focus on why it's happening in the first place. I believe if
we concentrate on why violent crimes is on the rise maybe we can start
finding acceptable solutions. But the death penalty is not acceptable.

To take another persons life is a horrendous act. The type of person
who could do such a thing a not expect punishment is utterly stupid. The
sad fact is that I have a brother who is in prison now for murder. Whether
he participated in the act or not is irrelevant, because he did not try
and stop it. I love him dearly and there is not anything I would not do
for him. But, for me to say that he is right because he is my brother would
be wrong. A criminal act such as this deserves a punishment, maybe not
death but a life-time of guilt. I feel ashamed for my family, but I am
not ashamed of them. Our country has stories like mine floating around
