Welcome to the Double Minded Man

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 1:5 and 6. King James Version

Both sides of, my opinion on Capital Punishment.  
 

On the one hand

I'm truly double minded about this issue because the thought of killing an innocent person for something they did not do would be a horrible disgrace. And the reality is innocent people do go to jail for crimes they did not commit. Sadly innocent people have been put to death for crimes they did not commit.

Because of this I am apposed to capital punishment, what if I was falsely accused or just mistakenly accused of murdering someone? I have been mistaken for another person before, people walked up to me thinking I was someone else, apparently I looked allot like this other person, now what if that 

person killed someone and the police picked me up and all the witnesses picked me out of a lineup, I could end up on death row. and the person that looks like me and committed the crime is living in another town free with no one looking for him. I'm sure this has happened and innocent people have been killed because of it. I'm a white person, I believe it can happen to me, just imagine how easily it could happen to a black person.
Do I really need to explain my previous statement?

But then on the other hand

Kill the bastards, shoot them in the face the moment the judges gable strikes the plate. I have heard the argument that capital punishment costs the tax payer millions of dollars for each execution. I don't get it! how much does a .22 caliber bullet cost? you can buy a box of 500 for like $3.99. We can learn from our wise guy informants how to do it with just one bullet, that's only $0.00798 cents a pop, (good pun) just think how many other people we can kill for the same million dollars, we could empty the prisons and save the tax payers millions of dollars, this will save the economy and reduce crime.
Ok The above statement was just a joke.
I believe if a person is found guilty of a capital crime beyond the shadow of a doubt, execution is better then life in prison. Because sometimes there is a chance this person will end up back on the streets looking to kill again, this has happened many times and many innocent people are dead that would not have died if we killed the criminal in the first place, you never know what a judge or parole board may do in the future, when the crime has been forgotten about and the outrage is gone.
But if the person is put to death, he can never kill again and can never be paroled.
