Suspect Arrested for Kidnapping and Murdering Kansas Teen Kelsey Smith

A couple things about this story:
First of all, you wouldn't believe how fast the community down here mobilized to find her. Within a day they had flyers up, a website, several hundred volunteers looking for her, and t-shirts printed, it was really amazing.
Unfortunately it takes something like this for people to forget whatever differences they may have with one another and come together as unified entity for one cause.
Number two:
Yeah, you know what's coming here......kill this guy, hang him from the highest tree, pole, or cliff side you can find. This crap has to stop! Obviously what we're doing isn't working, rehab, second chances, whatever.
All you ultra liberals out there who think all that feel good stuff works...guess what... you're wrong....again!
We need to send a clear, in no uncertain terms message, you kill somebody you will be executed, period.
That's the only way to stop this bull*hit.
Maybe if this guy they arrested for it, KNEW FOR SURE in no uncertain terms he would die for kidnapping and murdering her, he would've thought for just a second about it, and that might've been enough. Just maybe.
But isn't that better than the alternative, after the fact?
If enacting the death penalty everywhere saves ONE young person, or any person for that matter, isn't it worth it?
Even JUST ONE.
That one could be your daughter, wife, husband, neighbor, son, best freind.
