The Execution of the D.C Sniper

I agree with both Gov and Sasquatch on this.

The DC sniper should still be alive because death is unfitting for him. Unfortunately, we don't allow things like torture here in the states. It's really a damn shame for people like him.

I also think that we do need to make our prison system less comfy. My dad's worked in a jail for the past 15 years or so, and he tells me that the inmates have more rights than citizens walking the streets. Plus, the food on Rikers is pretty good. They have programs for them to learn skills, and even libraries so they can read and learn, including law. That's fine and dandy, but when you think about it, you're giving criminals three nutritious meals a day, a bed and shelter, a free education and a gym membership for committing crimes. It really should be a place so horrible that you'd never want to return, but instead, you get homeless people committing crimes so they can get in off the streets for a few nights at a time in the winter.

I still owe NY State about $16K for my education, and I pay $20 a month for my gym, and I've only been to court for jury duty!

Indeed, it is kind of unfitting for a man like him to lose his life over killing multiple innocent people, because many believe he deserves a fate worse than death. Unfortunately for us, we can't really make judgements for him in the afterlife so we won't know if he is getting what he deserves or not after his life on Earth.

Maybe the United States should make some kind of agreement deal with some third-world countries like Uganda or something, and have a prison inmate swap. The foreign criminals from third world countries can spend a few years in jail, learn some skills, then they can get out and live their lives in America with hopes of making a better life for themselves after rehabilitation. The American criminals can stay and attempt to survive the harsh conditions of a third world country, that is if they make it through the prison system. Not only are we giving less fortunate people chances to live in a higher standard of living environment, we are getting rid of the good riddances that chose to not do anything but live destructive lives in our own country. It's kind of like a college student exchange, but a little more extreme. Thoughts?
