Word on the Street: Repealing of Death Penalty


Nebraska lawmakers just voted in favor of repealing the death penalty. Are you for or against their decision?

        Peggy Robinson Peterson Sad
  • Melissa Thomas Hawk Complete slap in the face of murder victims and their families……..
  • Lauri Bundy Canarsky The biggest problem is enacting the death penalty. It’s been almost 20 years since the last execution. We simply pay a fortune to keep them on death row with unlimited appeals. There’s no deterrent there.
  • Melissa Thomas Hawk totally agree……it’s a retirement plan……
  • Leann Canarsky Jorgensen Why put something into effect if you are never going to use it? For some families this is closure for them!
  • Kay Gibbs Kommers So now what do we have to threaten them with? If you don’t follow thru and Use it…what difference does it make. I personally believe we need to have the death penalty and we need to use it! Don’t hand me the old they have rights thing. They gave up their rights when they chose to do the horrendous crimes..they took away their Victims Rights…without a second thought.
  •  Melissa Thomas Hawk Exactly! !!!!!!
  • Melissa Thomas Hawk The criminal loses all rights when they did the crime. And yet many activists defend the criminals rights!!!!! Total outrage and total ass backwards. ….I will never understand. ……so you have laws to follow and to punish but they never totally pay for their crimes…….we do….The taxpayer. …..that is what is criminal! !!!!!
  •  Jeannene Schutt Sometimes I think “death” is too good for them ..then there is Neko Jenkins….and someone inside will probably kill him….
  • Laura Marr Mittlestadt A life for a life, I’m sorry but making taxpayers pay to house murders when so many go homeless and hungry is wrong. When a family of a murdered loved one does not get the justice they deserve. And the possibility of being freed after they took a life?
  •  Paula Stromquist I am definitely for the death penalty. I wrote all our senators and told them so. But I do agree they need to enforce it too. Look how long ago those people got murdered in the bank in Norfolk….those criminals are still sitting pretty! !
  • Melissa Thomas Hawk That is what is so wrong Paula……..that is exactly the point……
  • Amy Wheaton Can I say where I want my hard earned taxes go then cause I no longer feel I need to support people in prisons! Especially the ones who deserve the rope!
  •  Loren D Swanson all this on a day that an Omaha cop is shot and the latest unofficial reports is that she has died. I guess Senator Chambers wins
