I dont think gangs will ever cease to exist. People will always need money and everyone likes to feel safe. A gang is one of the best things to have and to join if you want those two. Gangs are in the millions of members and realistically there is no way that law enforcement can bring all of the gang members in. Gang members are brought in every single day but when one is arrested another one decides to join the gang. Gangs will always continue to grow and increase every single day. The fight to end gang violence will always be around, no matter what.

D.P.

The death penalty is a perfect solution to prevent future murders and is the best form of deterrence in the criminal justice system that there is. It takes the most violent and ruthless criminals off of OUR streets. If a man went to prison and got life with parole, and got out after who knows how many years I wouldn't want him on the streets.

The biggest benefit of capital punishment is that it creates a much safer society for the citizens. Everyone would feel much safer knowing that the criminal sitting in jail waiting to get out on parole is gone for good, and is never coming back. Although their can be some weakness' to this as well, what if someone didnt commit the crime but evidence shows that they did and they are found guilty and put on death row. This probably doesn't happen very often but when it does it is a little saddening, the death penalty should still be allowed in my opinion.

I think that that is total bulls**t. If we put an inmate on death row, don't give him time to think or feel sorrw or guilt for what he has done, save OUR money because we pay the taxes and just get rid of him ASAP, not many people will miss them and no one will care they they are gone.

I was rather suprised that their were more white people on death row than black people. Everyone stereotypes that black people are the common criminal, everyone knows that. They make up most of the criminals that are in jail, yet white people are more common to be on death row. So why do WE stereotype them if we are just as bad, it is an interesting subject.

Insanity

Andrea Yates is a perfect description of an insane person; but is she really insane? She was fine when she was on her meds, so why did she stop taking them? She murdered all of her children and is now walking the streets which Ithink is total bull s**t. What if she sees another child and thinks that she should murder that one too?

Their should only be two options for Yates; 1)she remain inside a highly secure mental institution for the rest of her life, or 2)capital punishment.

Her psychiatrist reccomended that she not have another child due to her already being mentally unstable and she did not listen, got pregnant, and decided to stop taking her meds so she would not "harm her child"..yeah..she really cares about kids!

If I had a punishment for this woman, I would put her and the chimpanzee that ripped that ladies faceoff in California in the same room and see how she feels to be overpowered. She doesn't deserve the freedom that she is getting right now whatsoever.

She went to school to become a nurse, she should have well known about the consequences and affects of not taking her prescribed medication from her psychiatrist. Along with this, her husband should have been helping her from becoming this psychotic crazy b**ch. He knew that the cramped living space that HE wanted to live in was causing her emotional harm, which led to physical harm as she mutilated herself. This whole case is stupid.

Andrea Yates should be institutionalized or put down, no doubt about it.
