| Message | Ironic that your party leaders can still be executed under this proposal, isn't it? |

| Message | Capital crimes are "extreme circumstances". The murder of an innocent deserves nothing less then the death penalty. Giving them life in prison is too good for them, and it makes the victims family victims yet again as their taxes go to house the scum. Supporting this is just insane, and pro criminal. |

| Message | We firmly believe the prime cause of the justice system is to protect the innocent, not to enact revenge or retribution. With lesser crimes the best way to protect the public is by turning these people around and rehabilitating them into useful members of society. As for more serious crimes: murderers and perverts should rot in a stinking pit at the very minimal public expense. What it does cost to keep them they will return ten times over with their labour. At least if they are proved to innocent they can still be released. |
