Bringing back the Death Penalty

No, guess again... it's not that scary Stephen Harper.
-- KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Jamaican lawmakers are considering resuming hangings in response to rising violent crime, almost two decades since the last person was executed by the noose in this Caribbean nation.

Jamaicans have pushed for the measure, Karl Samuda, general secretary of Prime Minister Bruce Golding's ruling party, said Saturday.
Ah, yes, Jamaica... a veritable rightwing bastion of law and order.
"Based on our observation, there is a strong sentiment in the country for hanging to resume," Samuda said. "We want to make sure the people get their wish."

About 45 inmates are on death row in Jamaica, which reported a record 1,671 homicides in 2005 and is considered one of the most violent countries in the world.
I'm speechless... just like the lunatic left.
