Texas does...they even have an expres lane.

Yes they do.  :(

As a Texan, it is not something I am necessarily proud of.

You are right, I think, that there is no more death penalty in Canada! Unfortunately! So now, criminals run freely more and more killing even children and they get away with it, since they are in a gang or sell drugs, or are foreign born or Canada-born but of muslim, hindoo, etc, so-called religions which prefers violence and robbing instead of being peaceful as some radicals do not want peace !


It seems to me that the law made an exception, that you would maybe or will be hanged if you murdered a policeman on duty or something like that ! That was said in order to pass more freely that law, but no one was hanged since, unfortunarely !

But one policeman was killed on duty something like 5 years ago and the killer is now out on the streets, I think, I read because the murderer wanted his probation lately.

For career murderers, why not hang them ?

Would be intersting to know the violent crime statistics for Canada versus the US.
I bet Canada's is lower.

I think higher in Canada NOW!

There are murderers murdering every day in Toronto or so, but they are NOT counted, because they are not caught !

I think they count the number of crimes commited, not the number of criminals

Yep !

I think it might have something to do with the easy access of guns here in the US.
And.... the fact that we really don't have very good services here for the mentally ill.
They just dump them back on the streets and wish for the best.


Of course you have the drug problem.  

It is a not an easy fix.

There are plenty that are never caught here too.

I would think they do keep records of the number of people that were murdered there

I'm talking about the murder rate statistics...... not the conviction rate.

I agree. There are many mentally ill people out there that do not get the help they need.

No, not an easy fix at all, not at all.
