Bring on the Executions!
- DuPage County State's Atty. Joseph Birkett joined a Republican lawmaker Tuesday in urging Gov.
"We encourage the governor to follow the law," said Birkett, president of the Illinois State's Attorneys Association. "It has been eight years since the moratorium was imposed."
To that end, state Rep. Dennis Reboletti (R-Elmhurst) said he has introduced a House resolution asking Blagojevich to resume executions.
Blago is a panderer. He panders to certain constituencies for votes and for the chance to pollute a potential jury pool for himself or the wife when the Federal indictments finally arrive.
Maybe Birkett will if he can defeat Lisa Madigan next election season.

Funny, Wasn't it a Republiclown Guv Now Convicted Felon, who abolished the Death Penalty in Illinois?
All capital punishment is wrong, no matter the case. Yep, Blago is a jerk, but Birkett is a publicity hound. No way will he get further than he is now.
I commend Birkett and Reboletti. It’s a shame that jag Ryan screwed up the system so bad. But even if the Illinois’ Death Penalty Moratorium Project is repealed there is a big problem. See there’s a little law that says if the State declares they will seek the death penalty, those whore defense attorney’s get to tap into a state fund. This fund which has hundreds of thousands of dollars in it, is to be used so the best defense can be given to the shit head. What, the P.D. can’t handle it? It’s a fund set up so rich defense attorney’s can get richer. Are you kidding me? So even if we win, we lose. This State is fucking insane.
Lethal injection should be reserved as a humane method of euthanasia for beloved pets suffering from excruciating pain due to mortal injuries or terminal illness.
The guillotine is swift and painless. Decapitation can withstand the scrutiny of the Eighth Amendment.
Schedule executions for midday in public venues (i.e.: Daley Plaza). Add pay-per-view television coverage to offset the drain on taxpayers.
For deterrent purposes, the heads of the condemned should be mounted on pikes for public display for a minimum of 72 hours.
not to long ago one of birketts top people got shit faced while on company time and with a company vehicle and killed herself as well as some people in other vehicle. bad traffic crash. who was her boss. who was with her when they all got stoned. does dupage county pay its prosecutors to get hammered on the clock. why is birkett not indicting people in his office who are culpable for this. if she was the police burkett would have beat this into the ground. as it stands he mentioned that she was a loyal servant who made who made a mistake blah, blah, blah, fuck off pp smoocher.
BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY!! AND GOD BLESS JOHN BURGE!!!
Anyone know when C.W. is pulling the pin? I want to throw him a retirement party so all his friends can say goodbye. Do they rent out phone booths?
Speaking of executions....When is Jody gonna start swinging that ax? Its only a 3 year contract you know. Let the bloodsport begin!
Birkett is a tool!!! He is just like any other states attorney. He is the enemy to the police. I can tell you from personal expierence that he hates the police just as much as Devine. Birkett is a politician who would throw as many police officers under the bus as he could for his own political gain.
I find what Birkett says laughable at best and in reality insulting!!! I would like anybody on this site to go out and talk to officers in Dupage County and ask them what they think of Birkett. The officers who don't have their noses up the states attorneys asses will tell you the truth about this jerkoff!!!
if you execute the wrong man, as has been proven to be more than an isolated case, then are the judge, jury, and arresting officers guilty of murder? or they must have been a scum bag to get arrested, so no loss? its very hard to right a wrong the the person is dead. can a system as rife with corruption as ours be trusted with life and death?

You're an idiot. It has never been proven in this country that the wrong person ever went to the execution chamber, especially since executions were resumed in the 70's.
GO BIRKETT AND REBOLETTI, LET NOT FORGET GOP STATE SEN JOHN MILNER, (FORMER PD CHIEF OF ELMHURST). STAND UP PERSON, AND PRO-POLICE .
12;23AM
LMFAO!!!!
HEY SCC WE HAVE PROOF HERE THAT A LOT OF BLOGGERS ON THIS SITE ARE NOT THE POLICE.IN THE FIRST FEW COMMENT WE ALREADY HAVE SOME BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS CRYING ABOUT HOW THE DEATH PENALTY IS WRONG. IF THESE RETARD ARE POLICE THEY SHOULD QUIT AND BECOME SOCIAL WORKERS OR JOIN THE PEACE CORP FRIKKIN NOODLE SPINED BUTTWIPES.BRING BACK THE CHAIR AND KILL EVERY SINGLE MURDERER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I agree 12:23am, lets start severing some heads!
The whore liberals shouldn't have any problem with this. After all, al queda does it all the time, like when they beheaded unarmed civilian Nick Berg on the internet.
I didnt hear one peep from the artists,actors, lawyers and other whores.Therefore, they must condone it.
SCC. Word around our hood is that Madigan will run for Mayor of Chicago. She doesn't like the downstate travel and now has a family to tend to.
FALSE INFO: There is NO recorded execution of a wrongfully convicted person in the U.S. since 1970, when executions were resumed.
Libs like to toss out that bit of misinfomation. It's simple not true.
But then, since when has truth ever entered liberal thought.
Birkett is the guy that put Rolando Cruz on death row. Death penalty opponents couldn't have asked for a better sponsor for the death penalty re-instatement bill. No way it goes anywhere with Birkett pushing it.

Do you really think someone would admit that. If the death penalty is brought back you better believe the scrutiny will be unbelievable. There is no way any reasonable person can believe that every person on death row was guilty after all of the DNA overturned cases throughout this country.
To 2/13/2008 07:12:00 AM,
Hey hair gel kid-the only persons who use the word "tool" in their speech, or feeble attempts at written communication-put down Maxim and google the Nicarico murder case. Birkett, and Jim Ryan both stood solidly behind the police who were indicted and came to be known as the "Dupage Seven", unlike the Northside turkey Dick Devious.
STATE’S ATTORNEY JOE BIRKETT’S REMARKS REGARDING THE PASSING OF JANE RADOSTITS WHEATON – Jane Radostits, Deputy Chief of the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office Criminal Bureau, died from injuries suffered in a car crash yesterday afternoon on Winfield Road, south of Roosevelt Road. After yesterday’s bomb threat and building evacuation, Jane requested and received personal time off rather than return to the building for the remainder of the work day. The DuPage County Sheriff’s Office continues their investigation of the crash.
Speaking of judge,jury,beheadings:
well maybe Im exaggerating a little.
I signed on to AOL at noon and one of their main stories is "Cops dump
cripple from wheelchair".I almost dropped my martini as I said "What did CPD get caught doing now" I opened up the story and it was TampaPD. I know there's a few crippled bangers in chicago that deal out of their chairs,but be careful(dont get caught)! Well, Im
gunna pour a double cause Im thankful it wasnt you guyz.....
Im sure BLACKWATER wouldn't mind having the contract on that guillotine.
Im just picturing the crows and pigeons pecking at those mounted heads........

So tell us einstein..how hard is it... "its very hard to right a wrong the the person is dead" ?
How many murdered victims have you "un-wronged"..how many CSA victims have you un-raped?.
12:02am, 7:38am
You guys are obviously against the
death penalty; how do you feel about a womans "right to choose"?
Could THOSE lives that are taken
be the ones that were going to cure cancer,aids, or lead this country? 7:38am, could those lives be any more innocent?
I saw on the A & E channel that China kills their condemned citizens w/a bullet in the back of the head. Then, they bill the family for the bullet.....
hang them high as an example to all.
I'M CURIOUS WHY IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO PUT THE NOTICE IN THE PAPERS THAT ANDREW WILSON DIED. COULD IT BE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LONG LINE OF POLICE WAITING TO SPIT ON HIM?
It doesn't matter.
There have been so many obstacles set up in death penalty cases that there will likely be only one or two death penalty cases every year, even in the criminal paradise known as Cook County.
Can you imagine all of the entertainment value to be had, were Peraica to be elected the next Cook County State's Attorney and Burkett the next Illinois Attorney General?

Like you're not an idiot.
Blago will only approve this if seniors get to ride for free.
Birkett for Gov. next time around! I perfer a Firing Squad myself and stop waisting our tax dollars for someone to rot in prison. Eye 4 and Eye!

You really think the death penalty is inappropriate for whoever just murdered those 5 women in Tinley Park?? If you do you're a sicker puppy than he is.

LIBERAL!
KEEP PAYING THOSE TAXES THOUSANDS IN THE PRISON SYSTEM DEPEND ON YOU!
Birkett is not a friend of the police.
THE DEATH PENALTY IS TOO LENIENT ,THERE'S ALWAYS THE CHANCE FOR REINCARNATION

Actually it's a bullet in the ear. They also show great compassion when they ask the offender which ear to put it in and bill the family in installments if they can't afford the whole cost at once.
all capital punishment is good... kill them all and let GOD do his thing...:)

Hey, the ER nurses from the 'ol Henrotin Hospital used to do that on a daily basis, dump 'em literally on the curb,can't do better than that. Miss those days.

China also kills people for white collar crimes, such as forgery. Here, if you can get it passed felony review, it's supervision.. and they give you a ball point pen and a check book on the way out as a "goodie bag" so you can do it again the next day.

Wow, talk about justice! I love it! I'll wear the black hoodie and let the razor fall.
I propose that the very worst of convicted murderers be drawn and quartered to keep the nerves of their spinal cords intact until they bleed out.
NO PAIN; NO GAIN.
I used to say...fry em. I used to say, give em the shot. It was nice to see Gacy get his. But, the older I get, the harder hy heart has grown. Now, I feel nothing. Too many victims over the years. And, as far as the animals.....they aren't deterred by anything. Who the hell are we fooling. YOU and I operate off a different set of values than these animals who may be psychopathic, sociopathic, mentally ill, or just devoid of any morals and character. I think about the extraordinary cost, the appeals and dragging families through all the BS, political posturing, and it seems to never end. In the meantime, the 'condemned' live in remarkably good conditions in 1 man cells for a long, long time. At the end, when the shot goes down, I see it as revenge. I'm sick of revenge. The death penalty won't stop the chicken massacres, the cop killers, the clothing store killers. It only satisfies our sick satisfaction of seeing someone get theirs. It's symbolic of every asshole we see on a daily basis that rubs us the wrong way or who has victimized a kid, a woman, or some elderly person. And our satisfaction is tax paying $$$$$$$$ revenge. I'm trying to be a human being these days. Screw that macho, "Fry em, juice em" mentality. The State of Illinois is already busted $$$$$$$ out and we bitch about money. Can't have it both ways. Send them to isolation cells at Tamms Supermax and let them stare at blank walls for all those miserable years. Cheaper than all that pomp and circumstance....although it would be nice if they tried a stupid move during the arrest and caught a bullet on the spot. End of story.
As far as Birkett....master politician. Why pay attention to him or any of these bring on the executioner politicians?... wake up! That Rolando Cruz mess cost some great Sheriff's employees a lot in the end....including Sheriff Doria and Chief Soucek, who really got fucked in that case. Yeah. Death penalty. Great deterrent. It really makes an animal who doesn't want to go to the joint or go back to the joint think twice about committing a capital offense. And no, I am not a liberal. The cost of an eye for an eye in Illinois is like the west side mob mentality. No one has enough sense to stop it once it gets rolling. Yeah, yeah, yeah....what if it was me, my Ma, my kids, brother, sister, etc..?...What would I want?...I would want to heal. Years of blowhard politicians and lying ass prosecutors and appeals and writs and hearings isn't worth the day they settle the score. I've seen enough of that. And, no I am not a fucking social worker liberal. So, for those anonymous tough asses, I can still offer an opinion....even if you don't agree. Don't kick my ass over it. Oh, and John Milner former Elmhurst Chief is a stand up guy. Even as a chief he did in service trainings through the local training regions for street level coppers and was very involved in the community. Helluva man and helluva cop.
