Let's speed up the process and take them all out. I am sorry of hearing lame excuses such as: I had a bad home life, I was on drugs, I am retarded, I am black. The list goes on and on. Most are uneducated and have past records. Society is better off without them. I think we ought to just pipe car exhaust into all the cells and take them out in one fell swoop.
