The Onion on the Death Penalty

Although the death penalty may be a serious matter, you can always count on The Onion to insert a little humor into the most serious subjects. Here is a little video of The Onion humorously mocking the court's view of the death penalty:

 

Death Row Inmate Supports Fellow Inmate's Fight For Organ Donation

 

Christian Longo (left) has been supporting fellow death inmate, Ronald Phillip's (right) fight to donate his organs when he's executed.

Convicted of raping and beating to death his girlfriend's 3-year old daughter in 1993, 40-year-old Ronald Phillips is hoping to donate his kidneys and heart to any person in need of said organs. Fellow death row inmate, Christian Longo, who received the death sentence after he murdered his wife and three kids in 2001, is currently supporting Phillip's bid to donate his organs once he's executed. Longo had tried making a similar offer two years ago. The Governor of Ohio, John Kasich, has since delayed Phillip's execution date by seven months in order to "study the feasibility of death-row donations."

Information about the death penalty

This website explains how much work the death penalty can be. A lot of people choose the lethal injection over any of type of death. All states have their own opinions on the death penalty, some states see it as a good thing but others don't. I personally don't believe in the death penalty because I believe that the person who committed the crime should have to pay and be punished. I feel they should just be sentenced to life in prison so they to pay for what they did and not just get the easy way out by getting killed and not having to deal with it and be punished. 

Dylan's opinion on Death Penalty

My opinion about the death penalty, I really don’t know how I feel about the death penalty,  If a bad person kills a bunch of people yes, but if he kills one person I feel like they shouldn’t go to death row.  How many people scream at the murderer “you should burn in hell” or “die you sonofa-“. This is just part it.  If any kids see the murder then straight to hell!!!  Kill the Sonofa- . This my intake.  I don’t want to go on, it’s a touchy subject for many on both sides.  My opinion is not the same as others.

DEATH ROW IS THE GATEWAY TO HELL
