GMA to commute death sentences to life

[konde]

what if your love ones is the victim or maybe you? I will just kill that SOB with my bare hands and dump him in EDSA. PGMA can you think of something good? palpak ka talaga!!!!

after your revenge, what punishment would you like then: life sentence or lethal injection?

[baiskee]

wait a minute kapeng maiinit...may punto kayong lahat.

but before we implement what the others have eto muna siguro gawin ng gobyerno.

strict enforcement of the law is the key.

er... that's a chicken and egg discussion...

it's like asking private citizens not to commit heinous crimes.

Inchickstiside.

[niky]

I personally don't like the death penalty, but I feel that kidnappers and killers aren't worthy of our mercy.

Whichever it is... I think it's a lame political ploy of GMA's that's just gone over people's heads. They know why she's doing it, so why bother?

di naman... strict enforcement of the law lang naman kailangan. masyado kasi tayong mapagbigay.

the IMAGE of our law enforcers is a big factor here.

karamihan dito sa pilipinas ay wala ng tiwala sa taong nagpapatupad ng batas... at bakit naman sila matatakot gumawa ng krimen kung kaya nilang paikutin at paglaruan lang at nabibili lang pala ito ng kanilang salapi.

napakasamang pakinggan o malaman...pero dito sa pilipinas, pera-pera lang ang katapat.

kaya lalo akong kinakabahan sa haharapin kong kinabukasan, dahil ang bagay na ito ang wala ako.

Not even the threat of the death penalty prevented the recent spate of kidnappings, carjackings and terrorist attacks we've had to endure. And those are just some of the crimes covered by capital punishment.

how could the death penalty be a deterrent to heinous crimes if the gov't is not implementing it. that is why even if we have the death penalty in place, people are still bold enough to commit heinous crime since they know that they will not be executed especially if we have a president like gloria who only makes decision just to please a chosen few.

i say we should execute those criminals, televise it for the whole Filipinos to see and make them realize that crime do pay. look at what happened when Marcos ordered the execution of Lim Seng at Luneta for drug related crime.

i pity the relatives of the victims.. it's like the gov't and human rights lawyers are even on the side of the criminals. they say that these criminals have human rights also, that we should protect their rights.. did these criminals give a s**t about their victim's human rights? what the gov't and those so called human rights lawyers do is protect the victims instead.

well...gma had commited a big crime punishable by death(?)....she probably want someone will also pardon her once she is out of the malacanang :down:

[Greaseman]

dapat di kasali dyan mga drug lords and
pushers dapat sa kanila bitay talaga.

[jake1210]

What?????????????

mabuti pa si GMA nasa puso niya mga kriminal, hindi sa mga taong naging biktima ng krimen na halos ilang taon ipinaglaban para lang makamit ang hustisya.

this will send a wrong signal to those would be victims, na ilagay na lang sa kanilang kamay ang death penalty.

[Isuzoom]

we will see what happen if her favorite apo makidnap...if si mike and mikey ok lang.

[chua_riwap]

Oo nga ano?

Pero palagay ko, malabo, he-he........ dami bodyguards ng mga Arroyos. Kung kay Mike A. naman, baka pabayaan na lang ni GMA.

[oldblue]

bad move for the president
sana nga ina-upgrade pa niya from lethal injection to electric chair
at the same time pag pulis/sundalo ang criminal, death by firing squad
oh well, dito naniniwala ako pam-paganda points lang ito sa simbahan
malamang sa susunod i-aabolish na din ang distribution ng condom sa schools

in the news today, ang may pinaka-highest na heinous crime ay rape cases.
ano kaya sasabihin ng mga kababaihan tungkol dito?

may true story movie na ganito ata dati sa isang state sa US. tinelevise nila yun electric chair prisoner. madami daw naihi noon sa takot. and crime rate went down.

pero what's even more surprising eh opposition agree sa lifting ng death penalty. hmmm... bakit kaya?

[nugundam93]

if only mangyari din sa mga er, "human rights" at "pro-life" advocates yung mga nangyari sa mga biktima, malamang magbabago isip ng mga yan. :D

Amen!

Kaso sana hindi palpak ang hustisya dito. Hindi ko sinasabing palpak, wish ko lang na hindi nga. :D

I am reminded of an old Ren & Stimpy cartoon wherein the boys try to get into jail so that they can get free meal and lodging. By removing the death penalty, this tactic will become more attractive to the hopeless. Imagine them not having to work for a living and get fed for it.
Anyway, the death penalty isn't really a good deterrent when enforcement of the law is lax as it is here.

you have a point. baka ang madami batang kalye ang gumawa ng masama knowing na after nila gawin yun, for life na ang sustento nila from the govt.

[Flagg]

Dapat yung pagsustento dyan sa mga ligtas sa death penalty e mga pro-lifers lang mag-shoulder. Parang special tax ba. Para naman ma-tax yung Catholic Church... ehehehe.

[Flagg]

Btw, kahit agree me sa death penalty, agree din ako sa matagal ma-implement. Dapat exhaust all measures to know kung totoong guilty yung ma-execute.
