It varies from state to state. For states such as Florida or Texas (who have high death penalty rates)... it's cheaper, but for states with low death penalty rates... it's more expensive.

I think if you are going to oppose the death penalty, then you should oppose and care about all cases that include it... whether you like or sympathize with the perpetrator or not. That's just my take on it, though...

When someone preaches hate and kills because of that hate **** them. They wanna look at blacks as something less than them **** them. They are no more important then the dirt I walk on or the **** I accidently step in from time to time and they are the real problem in society (racists not black people.)

And... you're promoting more hate by taking this stance, and it shows you aren't completely serious in your opposition of the death penalty. We won't ever eradicate the possibility of capital punishment if people continue to adopt your type of mentality. In short... succumbing to strong emotions and making exceptions won't get us anywhere.

However, I do admire your passion in wanting to rid our society of racism and judicial execution... I just feel you should go about it in a different way...

Go about it peacfully? **** that dude. It won't work that way. I am very serious of abolishing capital punishment. I just hate racism to the point of not shedding a tear when some racist **** gets offed by the death penalty.
