D Bounty
A lone Bounty Hunter known as "D" walks into a loud tavern. The dark figures in of the tavern quickly grew silent as they find their gaze locked on D as he heads to table. D calls on the bar keep to get him a bottle of Gin. The bar keep looks around his tavern as a group dark figures slowly forms and approaches D. Each holding onto their 6 shot pistols by the hip. The bar keep musters up the courage to say "I daa da don't wa wa want no trouble. BEST GA GET OUT!". The hesitation in his tone gives D an idea of who the bar keep fears. D gives the tavern a quick scan. A larger figure advances from the crowd and holds a 6 shot to D's face. A moment of silence so thick you can cut with a knife. The large dark figure shoots just to the side of D grazing his cheek which startles the bar keep making him fall nocking down some booze off the shelves. As the bar keep falls to the grounds he sees glass shattering and booze everywhere. The bar keep tries to stand but his old knees would not allow him to. The bar keep says "HEY....!!!", before the last sound could exit his tongue all he can hear is a loud "BANG!!!" follow by a thud. Grabbing the counter the bar keep finally rises to finds a man on the ground. Smoke rises from his forehead like the bud off a lit cigar, blood starting to leave the body forming a river slowly progressing to the edge of the counters and a lifeless body. A loud scream from corner of the tavern and the group of dark figures starts to retreat back into their shadows. D "gin now". The bar keep grabs a cup and starts pouring his drink shaking missing the cup drenching the counter tops. D grabs the drink and chugs it down with one big gulp sighs and grabs his knife. He decapitates the figures head pulls it up to the bar keep saying "this should cover the bill and all the trouble". The bar keep looks at him in horror as D walks out.

Capital Punishment
Capital punishment, often known by the death penalty is the state sanctioned practice of killing someone as punishment of a crime. Most countries, including all the first world nations, have abolished capital punishment, exceptions to this are the United States, China and most Islamic states. The United States is the only Western country to still have use of the death penalty, this western country allows execution through the form of lethal injection, this method involves injecting the person with 3 drugs, all of which sedates, paralyses and stops the heart of the individual. Under the Human Rights this is classed as torture and inhumane treatment, which I whole heartedly believe that everyone should have their human rights protected no matter what they have done.
