Capital Punishment for Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes

Steven Hayes has been sentenced to death by the state of Connecticut.  The jury came back today and recommended the same for his partner, Joshua Komisarjevsky.  The two men were tried and found guilty of three counts of murder and two counts of rape, including one of a minor, as well as several other offenses for their home invasion in 2007 of the Petit family in Cheshire, Connecticut.

There are always a bunch of dumb shits with dumb shit morals turning every death sentence into a controversial topic and saying that those accused have the right to live. Anybody that murders and rapes people, especially a minor, deserves to be shot and burned.

Execution is so much better: They can't have fun on the world anymore, don't have the chance to turn around their lives (like they ever would), and no one has to pay money to keep them alive. It makes logical sense.

I am absolutely for the execution of these two men. They planned out and systematically destroyed this family, subjecting them to countless horrors before finishing them off. The tax payers of CT should not be burdened with providing them with free education, healthcare, and room and board for the rest of their miserable lives.
