[speaker001:] Dallas so I'm in the Richardson area so
[speaker002:] oh okay yeah I'm out in uh north Dallas by the Galleria
[speaker001:] okay good
[speaker002:] all right
[speaker001:] well did you did you hear our topic
[speaker002:] oh capital punishment yeah uh
[speaker001:] right what do you what do you what do you feel about capital punishment
[speaker002:] well uh I'm all for it in certain situations and if it's uh you know I mean it just depends on how brutal you know the you know murderer you know just something like uh you know
[speaker001:] sure
[speaker002:] who'd they execute you for few years ago I guess it was the um Ted Bundy or whatever something like that you know serial killer you know same thing that happened with um the Dahmer guy up in Milwaukee it just depends um
[speaker001:] sure
[speaker002:] you know kind of an eye for an eye I think uh if they had more of it instead of you know some of these people been on death row for fourteen fifteen years be more of a deterrent
[speaker001:] all the people we're feeding and
[speaker002:] right and
[speaker001:] taking care of
[speaker002:] probably also for uh drug uh people um pushers and stuff people something like that you know it just depends I I mean
[speaker001:] sure you know I feel sort of the same way I I think somewhere in the Middle East in one of those countries if they catch you dealing in drugs they cut off your right hand
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] because that's the hand you use I guess to to wipe your butt after you do your job
[speaker002:] right you rape somebody I castrate you
[speaker001:] right then after they catch you doing dealing if they catch that same person dealing in drugs again then they whack they take off his arm so you know I bet they have a lot less problems with drug with drugs over there than we do here
[speaker002:] uh definitely but I don't know if you I mean it's it would never come to pass like out here I mean it's just that's I mean Middle East is
[speaker001:] no just uh the public's too sympathetic but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know I don't know how old you are I'm I'm I'm fifty but I go back to where they were used to hijack a lot of planes and things like that you know I used to I had a good friend who was very vindictive but in attitude when he said you know
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker001:] best way to stop this is they catch a hijacker the very next day they stand him up in front of a wall and they shoot him
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and just watch how many after that happens two or three times as far as execution wise how many planes do you think will be hijacked and he's exactly right you know
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] you know he a hijacker gets put in jail and and Lord only knows what happens he doesn't get any kind of a death penalty as far as punishment or capital punishment and we feed him and clothe him and give him a probably let probably put a TV probably put a TV in his cell and everything else just to
[speaker002:] uh
[speaker001:] take care of him I guess
[speaker002:] uh probably living better in in jail than he would be if he was out on the streets or whatever you know because
[speaker001:] oh you bet bet so I believe in capital punishment and uh
[speaker002:] I definitely agree it's just you know you just have some politicians who never let something like that happen and I mean it's just
[speaker001:] oh I know I think our state state I think the state of Texas has capital punishment
[speaker002:] yeah they do yeah somebody just
[speaker001:] I mean you know uh and I think the I think the punishment should fit the crime or vice versa because you know a rapist goes out and for that guy to walk free if I mean he deserves to be executed as far as I'm concerned if they get the hard facts on him and he is guilty I mean you know this these people there's there's there's got to be a line drawn somewhere and uh not that I'm that hardened cold and cruel but there just appears do you know I listened listened to the Chief of Police of Richardson talk about four or five years ago do you know a man goes out and commits robbery not capital punishment and not capital crime but robbery he get and he gets caught and gets sentenced to say eight years seven to ten or something like that you know he gets five days credit for everyday he serves it's like a bonus for God's sake
[speaker002:] hm right right
[speaker001:] that's the damndest thing I ever heard of you get five days credit so if you if you uh get a sentence of five to seven as far as time served in one year you're eligible for parole
[speaker002:] exactly yeah there's
[speaker001:] that's ridiculous
[speaker002:] yeah there um I don't know I mean there's just so many there's just so many problems right now that I mean capital punishment is just icing on the cake it's just just at that point I mean the person whoever's done that you know killed someone has probably done that's got a uh police block that's probably a mile long you know that led up to something like that that
[speaker001:] yeah that's true I'm surprised there's not more vigilante cases you know I really am and there's probably a a lot more me know about because they're never they're never found out about but
[speaker002:] um-hum but um I totally agree it's just you know I God I'm sure some pray to God never happen that that never happens but somebody you know killed a friend of mine or something and you the first thing you'd wanna do is kill them you know but
[speaker001:] oh yeah well you know what if someone you've
[speaker002:] you just can't go out and you know shoot someone but
[speaker001:] you bet or what if you're my age and your your daughter was raped by someone you know who did it oh gosh you know that would be a tough time holding any father in his right mind down
[speaker002:] ah exactly
[speaker001:] I guess like a you don't like to think about things like that but it's
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] uh I'm in the uh the hunting type business so I sell firearms so it's different it's different for me because I know a lot of the product I sell goes for personal and you know in home protection
[speaker002:] uh-huh
