Death Penalty...for or against?

Definitely for the death penalty

against, because A. the government shouldn't have the right to kill me and B. there's no chance for you to prove you're not guilty if wrongly convicted when you're dead. hundreds of executed people have been posthumously pardoned because of new evidence found.

or do it in public.

the justice system is supposed to be a tool of justice, not revenge for sadists who for some reason think killing their relatives is immoral but killing someone else is not

I would be OK with it only when it is 100% sure that person is guilty, otherwise put them in jail make them work (so we dont have to pay for them) and let them suffer in prison for the rest of their lives (murderers, rapists,etc).

Against. Sooner or later you end up executing an innocent man and you can't give someone their life back.

For some crimes like every guilt about childs. And rape.

Sooner rather than later last stats I read were 14% of the executed were later found innocent via DNA. It also Costa more to execute someone vs life in prison, to the shock of most Americans usually.

I am against the death penalty because I value human life. But sometimes, Islamic terrorists make me doubt my stance on the question. I might make exceptions for Islamic jihad terrorists who have committed murder already.

Third option. I support the idea of death penalty only in case of war.

Definitely for it, because some "humans" doesn't deserve to live
