"a menace that law enforcment failed"

Quite the opposite. A menace that the law sucessfully eliminated as per the laws of the land.

His gang however is still killing innocents and he refused to do anything to stop that.

Bobert, the self appointed spokesman for all Americans, says Bush is worse than Tookie Williams.

Before assumes his leadership position, perhaps he should find out some facts.

Support for Death Penalty Steady at 64%
Slightly lower than in recent past
by Lydia Saad
http://poll.gallup.com/content/default.aspx?ci=20350&pg=1
"Public support for the death penalty has held steady in the past few years, but Gallup's long-term trend indicates that support is significantly lower today than it was through the 1980s and 1990s. The recent debate about the number of innocent people on death row may have been responsible for the slight decline in support in 2000, but it is unclear whether that issue retains as much oomph with the public today."

Canada Is not at all stupid on this one:
http://www.cpa.ca/ogloff.htm
"Despite capital punishment having been abolished in Canada 20 years ago, the majority of Canadians continue to favour the death penalty (approximately 65-75%) have indicated that they would support a return of the death penalty"

"In the latest ABCNEWS.com poll, just more than six in 10 Americans favor the death penalty for people convicted of murder"

"Pew Research Center for the People & the Press survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. Dec. 7-11, 2005. N=1,502 adults nationwide.

Do you favor or oppose the death penalty for persons convicted of murder?"
Favor 62%
Oppose 30%
Unsure 8%"

Also in this poll the group that most favors death penalty for murder
is a white male        with $50,000-$74,999 income, High School Grad.,30-49

Got any facts to support your position Bobert or just more Bobertisims?
