I just saw this from the Detroit Free Press regarding the spree killing couple in Michigan.

Just four months after he got out of prison, Selepak -- who spent 10 years behind bars on armed robbery convictions -- was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault involving another girlfriend. That happened in early November 2005. The assault charge was a parole violation, and he was shipped off to Parnall Correctional Facility at Jackson. A hearing was to be scheduled before an administrative law examiner within 45 days.

But Russ Marlan, a spokesman for the Department of Corrections, told the Associated Press that the corrections worker who should have scheduled the hearing didn't do it. The Jackson prison staff decided to place Selepak back on parole and released him Jan. 10 after realizing he had been held longer than 45 days.

Net result:
a 27-year old man - murdered
his 27-year old wife, pregnant with their first child at the time - murdered
a 52-year-old father - murdered

But, hey, no harm no foul. It's not as if it was the state's job to protect people.

I wonder if Liberals will ever realize that violent criminals can't be fixed.

On Wednesday, details began to emerge about Selepak and Bachynski, with authorities in Macomb and Genesee counties saying the couple -- who met on the Internet sometime last fall and consummated their Jan. 10 engagement by stealing a gun -- confessed to three killings, including those of Scott and Melissa Berels, both 27, of New Baltimore.

Clearly it was the gun's fault. Ban them all. Ban them now. It's not the fault of the ethicly challanged individual. he has low self estime. His father wasn't there for him. blah blah blah...

Oh, they can be fixed alright! Proper and quick trial, death sentence that is quickly reviewed and executed. End of story!

We're just never going to do that! We worry more about the criminal than their past or future victims!

When a friend told me he against the US having the death penalty, that its no deterent I just laughed.

I said 'I agree its no deterrent, we do NOT have a death penalty in the US because of all the appeals that take place, that to be a true deterrent you can't wait 20 yrs to carry it out.
 
The whole "it's not a deterrent" argument was a master stroke by the liberals to change the discussion. The death penalty isn't about deterring potential criminals, it's about punishing those who have already committed a crime. Well, I suppose it does deter ONE person from committing future crimes.
