Little by little countries have diminished using capitol punishment against criminals. But, in Texas this is a different story. Texas is known for the death penalty, and actually is proud of it too. It's an eye for an eye here in Texas and even our Governor, Rick Perry, lets the nation know on his policy regarding this. Most of Texans agree with their Governor and support the issue to the full extent. But, there's a hand full of citizens (Of course, Democrats) that continuously show their criticism to this "barbaric" act.
Our Gov. Rick Perry is proud. Quite frankly, he should be. He is one of the few people left in this nation not afraid to handle situations the way they always should be. Governor Perry has authorized over 234 executions in his long office run here in the state. He has authorized more executions than any other Governor in the history of the United States. That's impressive. Why should criminals, rapists, murderers just be allowed to roam the halls of jail with a smile on their face? Why is that okay for Democrats and the other criticizers? Rick Perry is doing the state a favor. Still being able to sentence the death penalty is beneficial on many levels. This gives most families peace. A man who just slaughtered his entire family should be rewarded with TV, three meals a day, a place to sleep, and a job while hanging out in jail? No. Who in their right mind finds justice within that? Grieving families want to see justice served and be able to find peace again after losing a loved one. It's sickening to watch these criminals be allowed to live and receive more care than the victims. It's sickening to see them literally get away with murder. In actuality, we give criminals more attention than any other group of people in the nation and state. You switch the channel to the news and they have made headlines. You get on the Internet and they are all over the front page. You want to talk about barbaric? Seeing criminals become famous over insane criminal acts is barbaric! The people criticizing the death penalty haven't looked at it from the point of view if it were to personally affect them in any way. Some people disagree with the death penalty because they are afraid some people are wrongly accused. That, by itself, is understandable if this came up 20 years ago. But in today's world, DNA testing and other methods of modern crime scene science allow us to effectively eliminate almost any uncertainty regarding a person's guilt or innocence. Technology allows us to disregard that part of the argument. The death penalty isn't an impulse decision, our state is highly educated and would never irresponsibly use the death penalty in a wrongful manner.
In the end, Rick Perry is proud. Texas is pretty proud. So, everyone else should be as well. This decision is already made on a state by state basis and if the majority of your state is on board, it can't be all that bad of a policy, don't you think?

This editorial has an amazing points, and gets to the point. It states accurately how the state of Texas is on the death penalty, and how it is a great thing. The death penalty is a good thing to have, and the way Texas does it, is amazing. People who commit crimes that hurt people in a sexual way, or they end up in death should be put to death. As they said, it will give the family of the victims a peace of mind, and feel like justice had been served. We have the fastest death penalty in the USA. As the comedian Ron White said, "I'm from Texas and in Texas we have the death penalty and we use it. That's right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That's our policy. Right now there's a bill in the Texas legislature that would speed up the execution process of those convicted of a heinous crime with more than three credible witnesses. If more than three people saw you do what you did you don't sit on death row for 15 years Jack, you go straight to the front of the line. Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty. My state's putting in an express lane."
I am proud to be from a state where they punish people for the crimes they commit, and not just let them sit there in jail being able to do what they can't do outside the jail walls. Plus, why should our tax dollars go to feeding them food, watch television and all that like the author of this article originally said. Also, the news needs to stop giving the people who commit these horrible crimes, all the media attention they get. It makes them popular, and others see this and think, "hey if we do this, we will become famous and get a lot of attention." Every state should have the whole, "An eye for an eye" concept.
