People who shoot girls in Central Columbia will someday likely be on death row, if not stopped by a good Policeman.

Some people are not capable of changing and their predilections affect too many other lives. The world is better off without them.

Life in prison has proved NOT to be a deterrent. Death penalty is.

Romans 13:4, For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer (Sword refers to the govt’s authority to punish rebels, even by death)

Fred Jones was a kind man. Anyone who would kill him, and the others, in the manner that was done, deserves the full punishment of the law, without exception. Public hanging would be acceptable.

These degenerates that stay on death row for decades using state money for clothing, food, medical care, housing, etc should be put to death within 180 days of sentencing. Save the state millions

instead of funding the death penalty fund for an influx of therapist and psychologists and implement true rehab and make them do daily community work via supervision such as picking up litter or working in sanitation.

As long as we find one false convition in a thousand, we should halt this Barbaric behavior! Set the Example, not the standard of "If you hurt me, I hurt you!" and Don't give me the Bible says "An eye for an eye", that was before the dispossion of Grace given by Jesus Christ. Time to move forward.

Has that worked in the past? NO. Now we have prisons full of 'vacationing' murderers, getting 3 meals a day & cable & internet.

Stupid decisions do cause unfair loss of life. We just lost 13 fine Americans because of a stupid decision. So we must be careful, but with capital punishment there are no repeat offenders.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
