what if he escapes - 2009-11-10 15:44:12
i'm sorry your argument that since he's been in jail no more attacks have taken place only shows that death is the right thing to do here....he is a cold blooded killer and deserves to die....what if he escapes from jail....we begin to worry again.....put him in jail again and say ok we are safe.... and he escapes again.....nope.... we can't take the chance....death penalty must be carried out....................
