To Veritas - So, who determines who a "bad" person is? Is it someone who commits a crime?
What if it's someone stealing bread for their starving family? They're stealing, they're obviously bad...
Surely you remember when Murph said "Do not steal, Do not kill, Do not rape"... so, if you're going to follow The Saints' example, the man should be shot on the spot?

To JiggyJam - The death penalty is really a joke these days. Someone gets sentenced to death, and then spends the next twenty years in a prison cell during appeals, eating three square meals a day, and watching TV on a better cable package than I'll ever have.
Maybe we don't need the exetremity of a jury that's cocked and locked... but if we're going to have a death penalty, it really should be a bit harsher.
-------------------------------------------
Personally, I don't believe in the death penalty. It's too slow and painless. Anyone who's done something bad enough to merit the penalty should be kept alive, given just enough crackers and water to survive, and spend the rest of his life doing hard labor.
Maybe the government could bring back the old chain gang system, and have them do landscaping in my... err... citizen's homes. Hehehe.
