What should be eligible for the death penalty?

[Andy L]

I never thought about that since this thread started, but I agree with Blacktail.

I dont know that road racing should be death penalty, but if you kill someone in the act of road racing, the penalty is death. Same with killing someone while driving drunk or impared. I dont see a thing wrong with that. You did something you knew for a fact was putting others lives in danger and you killed someone. Why shouldnt you get the death penalty? What makes you better than any other murderer. I guess pre-meditated would be an arguement, but you made the decision to get drunk or race, knowing you could very well kill someone.

As for poaching, I dont know if that should be or not. I agree its as bad of a crime as any stealing. Stealing resources for food, fur and pleasure from the rest of us. I wouldnt be opposed to someone being put to death for repeat offender of poaching for profit.

I know a fella around here that goes on the lake sping and fall, and just absolutely rapes the crappie population. Goes everyday and catches all he can and sells fillets by the pound. Limit is 15 and posession limit is 30 btw. He has been caught and paid some nominal fines, thumbed his nose and keeps on going. Should he die? I know alot of folks that would say yes to that, around here anyway.....
