Stupid poll. They deserve the same punishment. It's the intent to kill that is important, not how they arrive at that intent.

They should both be executed accordingly by firing squad. There should be no room for murderers in prisions or for that matter on the face of this earth.

call me a liberal but i think numbah 2 is more deserving. But NEITHER of them should be executed for what they did, regardless of their actions.

Life sentence with labor is a better option.

Neither should be executed for what they did? Based on the severeity that is quite a odd thing to say. I would rather see both hanged by chicken wire.

Life sentence? No way.. possibility of them escaping. And they could find enjoyment in their work... so that is unacceptable.

Nevertheless, because they killed those people doesn't make them non-human. They did these acts, but by killing them society would be just as guilty of murder as these two individuals.

A better punishment would be ostracization (sp?) from society.

Where could we ostracize them?

Seriously, prison is not made for rehabilitation, real labor is considered cruel and unusual punishment. I don't believe what people say about death costing more than a life sentence, bullets are cheap.

What if, with the death penalty being legal, the murderer wanted to die? Should he be forced to serve life?

Sadists should be executed in the same way as they tortured others to death.

Psychopathic mass murderers should only get the standard execution.

I agree with the anti-death penaty feelings of Frankychan and no, i d0o not care to discuss them with the bloodthirsty

As for the case, certainly number 2 deserves more punishment. Number 1 has not only done less ahrm, but realizes the harm they have done, and can, in a sense, be rehabilitated. Candidate number 2 is a permanent threat to society and should be removed from it fast.

I would not have to be literal ostracization. Maybe a form of social ostracization where they would not have any form of human interaction. I agree ( ) with you in that prisons aren't meant for rehabilitation despite the fact that rehab was what prisons were originally created for. For labor, it would not have to be real labor, but maybe something useful like refuse clean-up or some junk.

The thing that makes execution so expensive is the right to appeal. All the appeals make the sentence cost so much.

Ex-actly! #1 should be allowed access to rehabilitation. #2 should be removed from society WITHOUT being executed.

Take it somewhere else, or, at least, substitute Bush for #1, and Saddam for #2.

I'd rather shoot and ask forgiveness.

Effectively, they're both equally deserving.

There's no hitch in being a sociopath - all that means is that you don't give a **** about right or wrong, or the suffering of others, it doesn't mean that you're not aware of it.

A more interesting question from a mental illness standpoint would be if Guy 2 had a number of mental illnesses (severe psychosis, schizophrenia, give the guy a whole cocktail of things out of DSM-IV), such that (a) he didn't realize what he was doing was wrong, and (b) he didn't have any awareness that to kill means permanent - i.e., he figures they'll get up later, like in the cartoons. In other words, someone who literally has no knowledge of the effect of what he's doing.

Obviously, both have to be removed from society in this scenario, too, but the question is how? Let the whiners and bloodthirsty have at each other...

Bush is too educated to be a policeman. Sadam is too tired to be in the army. It was nice idea, however.

The way that I read it is that #1 knew it was wrong and bad when he killed the people gruesomely, but decided to do it anyway. I don't know if a person like that can be rehabilitated. He knew the wrongness, but did it anyway.

I'd fry 'em both. They both need to be removed from society, as MtG. Both are dangerous.
