Death Penalty for Jamaica

We always think of Jamaica as the place of beauty and fun and sun. But the crime rate has been soaring there and Jamaican islanders are demanding more executions. They are asking the politicians to work around restrictions imposed by Europe and overwhelming international opposition that have all but ended capital punishment in the Caribbean.

In Jamaica, the beheading of a young girl and the discovery of an 11 year old boy's dismembered body in a trash bag have increased pressure on parliament where debate began on Tuesday. They are to decide whether to resume the death penalty after 20 years. I think if criminals knew they could lose their lives, they might think twice before committing murder. As it is now, in the USA, you can get as little as 8 years for killing someone. I think we need the death penalty here in all 50 states and possessions.
