People Who Should Die
Introduction
In a more ideal world, the people descibed below would never have been allowed to grow up to have the type of character that would permit them do such horrible things. If they did slip through the cracks, serious steps could be taken at rehabilitation. But we do not live in that ideal world. Child-rearing is horribly primitive. The prison system is a joke. The practical reality is that we do not have enough resources to manage all the problems that exist in society today, and having to deal with human animals who actively harm society simply consumes resources that are needed to solve other problems.
Though many people, because of their misguided notions of what is "humane", object to the killing of any life, of human life, a full rational person has to conclude that some people should be killed so that society can devote mores resources to solving the problems that affect the rest of population.
Keep in mind that whether to kill a person or not is not a question of "right or wrong". In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the human mind is not capable of making a determination of what is "right" and what is "wrong". What the human mind, the rational mind, can do is to come to a conclusion about whether an action is likely to have a desired effect.

Rape At School Brings New Despair To Richmond
Gang Rape Of Teenage Girl Devastates Community
Assuming they are guilty, and with so many witnesses I don't see how there could be any doubt, why are these animals still alive? I can't believe there isn't anybody in this city who is smart enough and motivated enough to rid the world of these animal rapists. Even if caught, I doubt a jury is going to hand down a stiff sentence to the person who does the world a favor by excising it of the blight that is the continued existence of these animals. Notice that I don't use the word "human" or "person" when describing these monsters. Too many people in our society have this counterproductive idea that everybody born to human parents is a human and deserves to be treated like a human. This is a horrible idea. A creature who participates in an act like gang rape gives up his humanity and deserves to be put down like the animal he is.
When horrors like this one come to light, we should be sickened not only by the actions of the perpetrators, but also by the high-minded attitutes of those misguide folks who oppose capital punishment. Rape is a terrible thing, and it is almost as terrible to want to preserve the life of any being who participates in rape.
What is the benefit to society of keeping these animals alive? What rational person would ever release a gang rapist back into society? And if you can agree that he should not be released, then what purpose is served by keeping him encarcerated, using up valuable resources that are in dire need by people who actually have the potential to benefit society. Instead of wasting human effort on guarding prisoners, why not put that effort to work building roads and fixing up our crumbling infrastructure? Until prisons can be run by robots and be self-sustaining, not one ounce of food, not one watt of electricity, not one drop of sweat of human effort should be wasted on animals who commit acts of savagery.

The Slave Next Door: Human Trafficking and Slavery in America Today
I don't really feel like I should have to explain this. People who enslave others should die. Period. Fines are not enough of a disincentive, and imprisonment merely places a burden on the rest of us. Just kill them all.

Amy Goodman & Two Democracy Now! Producers Arrested at RNC Protest
Democracy Now! Arrests
Listen to the audio, and it should be clear that the police should not have arrested the Democracy Now! reporters and later on the the host Amy Goodman. The police in Minneapolis, just like the police in New York City four years ago, are overtly abusing their authority. Post-convention, the powers that be will likely promise investigations, but that is not what we need. We need the governor to parade all officers who arrested credentialed journalists in front of the state house and then have them shot in the back of the head. Police abuse will never end until the abusers are eliminated in the harshest of manners.

NYPD Officer Caught on Tape Body-Slamming Cyclist During Critical Mass Ride
The police in this country are increasingly getting out of control and believing themselves to be beyond accountability. We need to embark upon a period during which the penalty for any police abuse is instant death. Abuse of authority is the worst offence against society, worse than theft, murder, and rape. Patrick Pogan, the "officer" in question, is a criminal and a liar, and rather than being put on desk duty, there is ample evidence on the video to warrant his immediate execution if only the governor of New York State or the President of the United States had the guts to issue such an order. Give us a year during which all police caught abusing their authority are publicly marched out to the square and shot in the back of the head, and perhaps we could start moving in the direction of a police force that we can have more confidence in, at least until we reach a more enlightened society that has no need of police.

Philadelphia Police Caught Beating Unarmed Victims
Okay, the police are just out of control. Fundamentally, any system which gives one human authority over another is flawed, but American police are completely beyond the pale. Between the repeated abuses by Philadelphia police, the acquittal in the Sean Bell case, the L.A. park abuses from last year, and countless others, I think drastic action needs to be taken. Barak Obama, when elected, needs to pass an executive order decreeing the summary execution of all police officers who have credible accusations of abuse on their records. Yes, some innocent ones will be caught in the slaughter, but weigh that against the world of good that will be done by purging the ranks of the police of those who would abuse their authority. Come on, Obama, you promise fresh ideas--make a clean sweep of the nation's police!

Oxnard student declared brain dead
The identity of the shooter has not been released because of his age, but it doesn't matter who he is--he should die. What is the benefit to society of consuming resources to keep this person alive under surveillance and, presumably, treatment? Are there not plenty of other youths in need who would benefit from those resources? Why not provide better nutrition for needy children who are not prejudiced killers? Why not provide more youth the opportunity for a quality education? All this requires money, and every penny spent keeping the myster killer alive and incarcerated is money that cannot be used to actually benefit society.
Update: his identity has been released--Brandon David McInerney.

Spotting the Internet 'Liar'
Liars should die. I mean that, as a species, humans should take control of their evolution and forcibly change human nature in order to, among many other goals, eliminate people with a propensity to lie. If you research all the evidence of suffering and conflict caused by lying (or, in general, deception), how can you disagree that eliminating lying would be in the best interests of humanity.

Scandals Bring Down Chicago's Elite Police Unit
I'll say it before and I'll keep saying it. People in positions of authority need to be held to the ultimate standard. Corruption in law enforcement, legislature, or or positions of authority undermine the entire system and facilitate exploitation of the citizenry, especially the vulnerable. It is well established that power corrupts. The most effective counterweight to the human tendency to abuse power is the penalty of death. Swift and immediate death. These corrupt Chicago officers should not be sent to prison. They should be executed with all due speed.

Homosexuality in Jamaica
If this report is to be believed, the entire country of Jamaica needs to be wiped off the map. There is no place in the modern world for humans who exhibit such hatred and bigotry. Furthermore, the sheer illogic exhibited by the interviewee who asserted that legalizing homosexuality would be tantamount to stopping procreation--people who think in such an illogical fashion are simply to dangerous to be allowed free.
Of course, we must immediately realize that the attitudes described in Jamacia likely exist in many other societies around the world. While I would like to see Jamaica invaded and all the bigoted citizens reeducated, we would have to this to so many countries that becomes a seemingly impossible task.

'Jena Six' Case Exposes Town's Racial Tensions
more background on story
In this case, it is not one person who should die, but many, the entire town perhaps. With all the problems facing the world, we should have zero tolerance in the 21st century for racism. The white students who hung the nooses--they should have been shot. According to the reports, as the situation worsened, there were other indicents between black and white students. In each case, any student found to exhibit racism should have been shot. In the TOTN segment it was stated that a barbershop in town does not service blacks. If true, everyone associated with that barbershop should have been shop. From what was reported, it appear that Jena is not a place that should be allowed to exist in the 21st century. The town should be destroyed. No one from Jena should be allowed to raise children. In the 21st century, racism is a completely unnecessary impediment of human progress that should not be tolerated.

How New Orleans Police Gunned Down Civilians Fleeing the Flood
First of all let me make it clear that, in general, the victims of police abuse in New Orleans are partly to blame for their misfortune for the simple reason that they were there to begin win. Post-Katrina New Orleans is a place where the vulnerable become even more vulnerable, more so than in other cities (not that other places are exactly fair to the weak, mind you). Regardless, the greater harm to society is the existence of corruption among authority figures, and this should not be tolerated. It is also harmful to make unwarranted assumptions about the officers, and I do not want to do so, but from the facts reported, that the victims included a woman and children, it is hard to see that the officers could have had any justification for firing upon them. Bad cops are the worst thing for society second only to bad politicians, and these men should be put to death as quickly as the facts of their guilt can be established.

Elected Official Blames His Arrest on Fear of Black People
There's a lot to ridicule here, but I focus on the issue of hypocrisy in a completely serious manner. We should not tolerate hypocrisy in government officials, period. To begin with, all institutions which give a human or a group of humans authority over others are inherently flawed because humans have an overwhelming tendency to abuse authority. However, at present, humans are not evolved enough to survive without authority figures. A rational means to ameliorate this situation is to impose the harshest penalties on authority figures who abuse their position, whether through hypocrisy or corruption or other means. In today's trouble times, any penalty short of death does not serve society at large.

Lindsay Lohan
I chose the above link because the stories on npr.org appear to remain archived for many years, if not forever, but I do not share the optimistic tone of the reporter. Actually, that is not accurate--I have no opinion about whether Lindsay Lohan is capable of having a successful film career. I don't care either way. What I do care about is the irrational tolerance that our society shows for drunken drivers. Drunk driving is one of those acts that, in nearly all cases, has no excuse. If the case is that you learn of an emergency, like a sibling in the hospital needing a transfusion of rare blood, perhaps DUI is excusable in that case. But simply drinking and driving for no good reason--that is an act worthy of death in today's world. In a future world where resources are plentiful, a more appropriate solution to drunk driving could be serious treatment. But with all the problems the world has, society has more important things to do with its resources to waste them on drunk drivers. So they should be killed, and people with a high profile like Lindsay Lohan should be first in line in order to serve as a visible deterrent.

Michael Vick
If the allegations about his participation in dog fighting are true, Michael Vick harms society. He should be killed as quickly as possible so that the resources expended dealing with his case can be redirected to more beneficial pursuits.
