With text it's hard to tell. From your comment "They see us a barbarians." it seems you wear that label as a badge of pride?

We'll have to agree to disagree I'm afraid. Your views seem a bit extreme and frightening to me, but I'm living in a country where people don't shoot each other by the hundreds on a daily basis. Maybe if I lived in or adjacent to some low-income, gang-infested hell-hole I might feel as you do, so I'm not going to judge your opinions.
Yeah, I am serious beating people is tiring! When someone doesn't go down like they are Rocky or something. Yeah it's better to be getting some wind back before you attack again. This is why you see boxers always hugging each other in the ring they aren't really hugging they are just really tired. This is my point.
As far as other countries that see Americans as being to hard on criminal punishment it just makes me smile, because I know we are far for that. The world has taken a very limp-wristed view on holding people accountable for there actions. You can murder innocent people, because you wanted to be badass then when you serve time you expect 3 hots and a cot. Excercise, visitors, education, make new bad guy friends etc. I mean what is that college? Most of these guy's will replay the crap they did before. But some people in the world feel they deserve to be treated fairly.
The only probelm with death penalties is they cost to much with all the legal red tape it takes to get someone removed. That and we really don't get a benefit from this type of forgiveness. I mean a lot of convicts could be of good use as medical test subjects. Why test a cute furry bunny that is quite different from ourselves when we can use the real thing. Someone needs a new kidney, hey we have in stock. It makes sense.
But, I guess guys like the Califonia Night Stalker get to just be celebs with there kooky fans writing them.
