Reason # 55 on why we should have the death penalty

So you are one of those "progressives" who believe the death penalty is wrong and we could keep our communities safe from violent criminals by simply keeping people in prison with no possibility of parole.

Well how does this excerpt about LA gangs suit you

But eliminating the gang won't be easy. It's survived for decades and is believed to have about 2,000 members. Its reach extends to Nevada, Arizona and into prisons, where prosecutors say incarcerated gang leaders were able to order hits on black gangsters.

I'm guessing that you "progressives" out there won't be lining up to tell people, who's family members were gunned downed by some derelict, was a direct result of not executing the thugs who arranged it.
