So is the death penalty ever justified?
I personally think it should only be used very rarely for people who commit such evil attrocities and not just for murderers.
So what is everyone elses opinion on the death penalty?

U KILL
U SHOULD DIE.
I'm for the death penatly. I don't see the point of sentencing someone to prison for 105yrs, just for them to have roof, food, cable TV on our tax dollars, even though they're going to die there anyways. If a person gets more than 70yrs in prison, and they are of legal age, the death penalty should be done. Why waste money on waste on keeping them alive for that many years.
I can't imagine how much it costs to feed, cloth, and keep sanity alive (eg.entertainment) in each prisoner each year. What, like, $2000-$5000 a year on each prisonaer maybe?
If a murderer murders someone in cold blood, then they deserve to die, period.
My 2cents, so please don't flame me :)
Peace
Its not up to us who lives and who dies. Its as horrible as what the people themselves have done. Having them locked up in a cell is the right thing to do. But NOTHING gives us the right to decide who lives and who dies.
hey, i think that if the criminal cannot in some way contribute back to socitey, and may as well rot and take up space and taxpayers' money, than they should die. its a waste of money, time, and of a human to keep them in a cell to waste away in depression and purgatory.
BTW i am for legit eugenics and sterilization. it may be morbid, but its what i believe.
Yes, we do have that right because OUR tax dollars keep them alive in jail. OUR money, OUR choice. That's what I think anyways, when it comes to the court system anyways.Quote:

would you rather leave your kids with a pot head neighbor or granpa who likes to finger his grankids.
I MYSELF WILL DELIVER JUSTICE AS I SEE FIT
i have no conscence for things like this.
fuck the gov.and their justice system
THE STREETS DELIVER THE BEST FORM OF JUSTICE IV EVER SEEN.
GOV SHOULD TAKES NOTES ON GANG PHILOSOPHY.
oh and please dont flame me either, im just speaking my mind.
I really feel I should say this. What if they convict the wrong person for the crime and then kill them? Thats why I think it should be for only extremely evil crimes.
yea but carl thats not the executioners problem thats the p o l i c e
Use it in Rape, Mass Murder, and Cold Blooded Murder.
But it is someones fault for killing an innocent person that if the death penalty was not used would still be alive!
Have you ever seen The Life Of David Gale?Quote:

So you rather their be no prison system atall? Lol. I know this may sound stupid but im gonna go religious on your ass, lol. It is believed that no matter how many people you have killed, as long as your truely sorry for these crimes that you have done, then God will forgive you for these sins and you'll go to heaven, if someone gets the death penalty and then killed, and goes to hell. Then they'll be in hell, but if they're rotting in a cell, they might realise what they have done is wrong. Which in a way, is saving a soul. I see prison as a timeout for the person to see what they have done is wrong, if they realise this then they're good soul is returned, but if they get the chair then they're never gonna be good. Plus, i count the death penalty as murder as well, even if the person who is under the death penalty is guility of murder or rape ect.Quote:

I beleive the law should be changed to fit the circumstances of the situation at hand in a murder case, i say this because having death as a penalty for murder does not stop the murders from happening. People that are really crazy enough to kill don't care about going to jail for it, let alone death. So where does that leave us, i don't know... kill them???
You're point is why I'm against it, Who's Carl.
There's way too much evidence (still mounting) of wrongful convictions to justify the use of such an extreme sentence. Across the board, in principle I'm against it.

And, I didn't say NO prison system, no means at all. I said, "anyone who is sentenced for over 70yrs in prison, and is of legal age, who committed murder in cold blood, should be executed" We NEED a prison system man :p It would be anarchy without it
Don't you find it kind of pointless spending money on a nobody, a nothing, who is locked up behind walls, who will remain there until death, do nothing for society or nobody, who killed a life in cold blood? If God were here himself, he would finish the job for them.
Peace.
never be used.
I think it's absurd to think "justice" can be found by killing people. Murder is only wrong as long as the victim is an innocent huh? Bullshit.
I understand the desire for vengence, but that's nothing to build a legal system off of.
two cents.
I think they should use the death penalty on anyone linked to extreme terrorism. But that might cause a bit of a backlash among there supporters.
Why should there be violence? How come we just cant all get together and toke on a hookah and have a good time...lol no but seriously the only time I think the death penalty should be used is if some one rapes or kills alot of people have and have or shows no remorse what so ever when they are in the court room.
I'm against, but not very strongly. Personally, I believe is wrong and just perpetuates violence and doesn't prevent crime.
Also, believe it or not, keeping someone in jail for life is actually cheaper than killing them because the unlimited appeals that our constitution allows (as it should).
the tell the truth I don't think any human being has the right to judge any other human being under any circumstance. To keep order we need laws though. I say for murderers we should psychologicaly reprogram them.
i think much more than that$$Quote:

take a look and see in the past the faces of those who commit the most horrendous crimes they look normal and they fit in.
if you people are to scared to do something thats fine
but me fuck that i will ride
i am only speaking of anything that has to do with the hurting of a child.
i will kill swiftly and bravely any man or woman i know positely is doing harm.
believe what you want but when your in that situation and you choose to remain quiet and let the cops handle it see if you sleep good at night knowing your a coward.just like the wife of the molester who turns the other way and is in denial.fuck that
I've said this before but I'll say it again.
A few years back I lived in a country that folks love to bash for its lack of human rights. One of the criticisms of this country is the fact that the death penalty is frequently used and not just for murder but also rape, child molestation, etc. Furthermore, when a person is sentenced to the death penalty his execution comes within, at most, a few days of the sentance. Penalties for lesser crimes are also very harsh.
Now say what you will, but when I was there I lived in a city with 14 million people. This place was so fucking crowded that it made NYC look like a subburb. It had many of the same problems as NYC (or any big U.S. city) such as poverty, huge gaps between the wealthy and the poor, etc. What it didn't have a lot of, however, was crime. I could walk down any street at any time of the day and not feel like my personal safety was threatened. How many big U.S. cities can we say that about?
I can't help but think that the lack of violent crime in this country has something to do with the fact that it is well known that if you have committed a crime and are caught your life will either be shortened greatly or, at the very least, made very unpleasant. Unlike in the U.S., where in many cases criminals feel that the rewards of crime easily make up for the potential consequences of getting caught. What we need to do is make criminals think that no matter what they might gain from committing their crime, no way does the reward justify the risk of what will happen to them if they are caught.
Oh yeah, I don't mention the country because most people will have a preconceived opinion about it which will cause them not to think about the argument, just reinforce their opinion about the country.
sounds like china or north korea
Umm...It wasn't North Korea ;)

<3 Tasha
I believe there are cases were the death penalty is exceptable...If it is 100% sure they committed cold blooded murder for the most part they should die. I read all the time of some poor old man or women who got killed so someone could take their car, wallet ect...imagine if that was your family.. Also serial Rapist should be Neutered as BFA suggested...and maybe some killers too...
Well an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,but I don't believe in the the death penalty... I think it is committing the same crime as the accused...
This is the big argument but is somewhat narrow minded (no offense Skink)There is actually a big difference:Quote:

Different thing all together. Al least in my book.
I think certain people should be dead and have no place here with human beings. People who rape little kids and serial killers. Sorry if it sounds harsh to anyone who disagrees, but if I had my way, they'd all be tortured and killed slowly. I'd do it myself if I could.
No offence taken... We all have a right to our opinion,thank god...Quote:
