The state attorney in Alabama made rape a capital punishment, which I agree 100%, but some assholes in D.C. thought it was cruel. So they made it jail time instead of dying. Anyways. Back on topic. I guarantee you that if we started killing people on death row quicker, made the punishment stricter, and throw the "He is crazy so he does not know what he is doing" bs out of the system... Crime will drop and also innocent children will not get shot up as much...

I agree, but it is also working on the wrong end of the problem. More treating the symptoms than curing the disease. The cure starts in the home. There is no magic program, or a dollar amount that can fix broken homes and parentless children. If the parents aren't on-board and heavily involved, there is nothing we (as a society) can do except lock little Junior up when he becomes society's problem. The cure involves making sure little Junior stays on the right path from the start, and making him/her a productive member of society rather than a detriment. That takes parenting.
