EXECUTIONS IN AMERICA
For many years now I have studied the history of executions in America. I've researched the methods of execution along with the execution process. The subject of execution is about as controversal as abortions. Some people believe that two wrongs dont make a right. Some people believe that no one should "play" god. Some people believe that the death penalty is a deterrant; which has been proven wrong. Some people just believe in the ole "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" motto. I must say that I have been on both sides of the arguement. If one of my family members committed a crime I would want he or she to have a second chance. If a criminal is innocent I would like to think that he or she would found not guilty; which isnt always the case. These are thoughts that make me feel like execution is wrong. On the other hand, there are people in the world who have committed heinous crimes; crimes that make you want say "off with his head."
What if I were innocent and on death row? I would want to be freed! What if I were brutally raped and tortured? My family would want justice!
First, every crime should be investigated to the fullest extent.
Second, the punishment should fit the crime!
On that note, I have decided to post all executions in America as they are carried out. Since the beginning of the year there have been three executions, which I have posted below.
You be the judge!!

Movie of the Week
Turistas. American college student Alex (Josh Duhamel), his younger teenage sister Bea (Olivia Wilde) along with their close friend Amy (Beau Garrett) are backpacking through Brazil. They meet up with similar companions: wild and crazy British mates Finn (Desmons Askew) and Liam (Max Brown), together with Australian traveler Pru (Melissa George), on a cross country bus. They barely survive after it crashes off a cliff. Further mishaps occur due to becoming stranded on a beach by so-called "friendly locals", some of whom have deprived them of all their processions! Searching for any sympathetic police, they meet familiar face Kiko (Agels Steib), who offers to lead them to sanctuary that being a house deep in the jungle. But upon finally reaching this supposed safe haven Amy soon vanishes, and it is only then that they discover (way too late) that their "saviors" offering them shelter are operators of a black market specializing in running human organs, who are seeking unwilling foreign donors (foreign tourist) to benefit their unfortunate countrymen. In their captors' eyes, foreigners have come into Brazil, raping their precious lands of its rubber, sugar, gold--even using its people as throwaway sexual playthings. For this exploitation of their country, our backpackers are now set to go under the surgeon's scalpel, courtesy of the captors twisted ringleader Dr. Zamora (Miguel Lunardi); Brazil's answer to 'Dr. Giggles'.This movie is a hot must see.
