Mexico: Crime wave prompts calls for death penalty - 12 Dec 08

they should be executed, but on the spot as the first old politician is correct in saying that you can’t trust the legal systems.

it’s all tainted, the army should kill those druggies who get caught. they all have blood on their hands, no need to waste tax dollars putting them thru “justice”

why do you guys r saying
Nuke Mexico….

Nuke Israel and its Ashke NAZI racist population posing as legitimate “jews”!

Nuke Mexico ….

why dont we nuke your mother instead, greetings maricon

Fuck you jew! Hope Nazis exterminate little jews like you once and for all!

“We could end up condemning innocent people!” - nuf said. Death penalty sucks!

kill’em all,more food for me

Very bad idea… hopefully this will not fall through.

if death penalty is approved, all the mafiosos have to do now is pay the judge and police to blame someone else who is innocent and have them face the death penalty. then the case would be closed and the real criminals are declared innocent. as crrupt as mexican government is; the death penalty could just become another strategy for the mafiosos.

The Mexican government needs to respect EZLN and then commence a clean sweep operation on cartel territory.

Nuke Mexico ….

Listen if the Mexican government doesn’t install the death penalty for murderers down there then they had better do something, because the cartel are out of control.

How is getting free food, housing and all basic essentials without having to do a bit of work (which is how most prisons are to prisoners) a deterrent to crime? I don’t think that’s punishment.

Warehousing humans in little boxes is better?

DEA arrests caused power vacuums along the Tex-Mex boarder; The loss of Abrego was like losing Saddam Hussein in Iraq: Afterward all hell broke loose!

Drug leaders placed in prison quickly forged alliances, (Tijuanas Arellano Felix & Gulf leader Osiel Cardnas). The Mexican prison system has become a recruiting & university drug training inst for the drug lords

DEA meddling has exacerbated the trouble; Their war on Mexican drugs made things worse! The stats speak clearly for themselves!

As a mexican citizen I can say that kidnapping, drug cartels murders and corruption are the issues that we are worring about, I understand the feeling of so many mexicans who wants the death penalty, because the government hadn’t do anything about it, anything to prevent, to investigate. But as a mexican i believe too, that we have first to change so many laws, the police, the court, the judges, how can you trust in mexican court houses?!
can u guys imagine, they could kill an inocent guy!

revenge is not justice.

death penalty is never appropriate.

I understand the problem with the possibility of executing the innocents. That would fall under the responsibility of the police to do their job correctly. Which means that we have the possibility of innocent people rotting in jail and/or the criminals getting bailed out or bribed out. What’s the point of even having laws if the criminals are the only ones who are protected by them?

I hope I don’t come off as saying criminals should be free to do whatever they want without consequence. I think lengthy incarceration would be as good if not better as a deterrent, which would not resort the good of society to killing. I respect your argument, but there has never been conclusive evidence to show that the death penalty is effective as a deterrent. So, why chance executing innocents to protect other innocents. It seems hypocritical.

hell has no fury over an angry mother o_o
lets hope this plan will end this!

crimes is pretty bad in mexico. Al Jazeera has been covering it every few weeks and they’re riddled with crime.

But how many kidnappings are there, really? Has the amount really gone up, and by how much? What about crime in general?

The video never gives us any numbers, just tells us that there is an emergency. And that the proposed solution is the death penalty.

The death penalty has been considered immoral by most of the civilized world. Yet they recently brought back torture, and imprisonment without trial, and surveillance of the population in the U.S.A.

The ruling elite are barbarizing us.

Think realistically, you have to know that sometimes talking will not get through to many if not all criminals. Fear sometimes is the only deterrent. Sadly, even in that case most criminals don’t fear death. Although turning the other cheek is not always the wisest idea.

Death to stop death. Yeah that makes sense. (Can you sense the sarcasm in my statement)
