Cool, the death penalty for vandalism. That would be like rule under the Taliban!!! John Walker for president!!!

This may be off topic..... Ok, I will compromise on the death penalty for cemetery vandalism( that comment was tongue in cheek,anyway)...Maybe a more appropriate penalty for cemetery vandalism would be 50 hours of cemetery restoration for every stone they knock over or destroy. No more wimpy justice. That way you get the cemetery repaired and you keep a vandal on his or her hands and knees for a few weeks in a community service project. Teddy Roosevelt was right..."Walk softly and carry a big stick".
