I'm being a dink for the purpose of humor people. Seriously though, I support the death penalty, and think we need to simplify the process. People like those arse wipes who killed that family in Conneticutt a couple of months ago, those animals who carjacked, raped, and mutilated that couple in Tennessee, and that scumbag loser who killed this couple in cold blood...




...would be immidiately made crispy. It's really not that complicated. The DP should be used in cases like these, where there is no doubt, and shouldn't be left to cases that are controversial. The "slam dunks" should get fried up.

As for the site you referenced, the info is from 1998, it shows the per 100,000 homicide rate at .88 for Maine, and 1.29 for Massachusetts. NY was 3.68 in 1998 per 100,000.
