Many executions across the country have been found to be in error. Also, given the extreme expense of prosecuting a capital case, a life sentence is a better option.

It should ONLY be used for the worst of the worst: multiple murders, torture, child abuse/murder and ONLY if ALL DNA has been tested...even if it's found AFTER a conviction!

The old testament says an eye for an eye, so it must be ok with God?

If you are found guilty or plead guilty and the crime you committed deserves that punishment, than by all means enforce it! Too bad the punishments take so long to be enforced.

Murderers, child rapists, child killers should be executed within 6 months instead of being supported by taxpayers for decades.

I don't believe it is a punishment if used only to protect the innocent from being victimised again. It's protection. Also. people should not be languishing on death row.

I think it should be metered out for sex offenders, murderers, habitual violent offenders and drug dealers of man made substances.

The people of Oregon voted for capital punishment and our worthless elected officials do whatever they want regardless of their duty and oath of office.

Some really heinous crimes call for it. If it doesn't get the scum off the street for good, at least, it gives the AG a higher place from which to negotiate.

There are situations in which the death penalty is appropriate.

Until someone experiences a senseless act to a livlo one, they will never believe in the death penalty. My sister was killed, and the murderer doesn't deserve to live.

Keeping Killers alive in prison for life is not fair to those who lost loved ones to these animals, plus it cost tax payers way to much! Why should we keep paying for them to have free living!

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
