Death Penalty...for or against?

[Prisoner Of Ice]

No. that still doesn't change the crime, or the fact the people/person they murdered are still dead

most murder cases don't end up having the death penalty on the table. In states that have it, they rarely give it.
they usually only consider it for extremely cases or especially violent or heinous ones.

there's no proving anything to it.

it for what they've already done. there's o turning back on that. they cant take that back ever

I just love all the fucking retarded comments on here about how cruel it is etc. and all this bullshit. as if what they did to their victims wasn't 100 times more cruel usually.

they didn't give them the choice of life and death they didn't let them just be put to sleep and simply never work out. even when they get executed hey still have it better then than their victims or their family's ever will. they still have to go on living in hell knowing how their relative or kid or loved one etc.. was killed

this is fucking stupid. If anyone ever killed my family or someone I loved I would kill them without thinking twice about it.

hear all of the people on here about being against the death penalty and crap, who the fuck are you kidding, grow some fucking balls. so if someone murdered your family or whatever you wouldn't want them t die? if someone tried to seriously kill you but they didn't, you would want to kill them just for trying to kill you, of course you would. unless something is just wrong with you.

What kind of retarded comment is this? Did you reply to the wrong person?

I am for death penalty. In fact everyone should get death penalty even if they have done no crime, unless they show their value to society. And by society, I mean me.

well in that case I agree with you 100%

but if I were you and someone did prove their worth to live, I'd still give them the death penalty later anyway. I'd tell them I wouldn't do it , since they proved themselves but I would just be fucking with them

you should give it to everyone no matter what. the world would be better off.

you could probably get elected if you took this stance on the issue during a campaign

Obviously pro. I don't care as much about punishment or institutionalized revenge, I would rather put them in labor camps and save some money out of their work. But I do care about making a statement, like parading the dead hanging corpse of a gang member around for his associates to witness and make a public promise to put the rope around their necks should they ever show their faces again. The crime should be fitting of course, something that affects a multitude of people, like a community, a city or even the whole country, not some isolated instance of a single victim. If that's the case then labor camp!

[Weedman]

I don't care much for death penalty, no. It's an easy way out for scumbags, I'd much rather see them in labour camps where they could work all day long, day out and day in, to make up for what they cost society.

but it's not society they owe.

they owe the victims and their family or something, or whatever.

they didn't cost society anything. it doesn't effect me or you or anyone else if someone kills a total stranger who you don't even know.

how is that costing society as a whole? unless they're just a fucking serial killer or something.

fuck that. they should let the victims families kill them

should just tie them down in a closed room and let them stab them, or decapitate them or do whatever the fuck they wanted to do for as long as they wanted.

or do it in public.

[Skerdilaid]

nah fuck that. they should let the victims families kill them

should just tie them down in a closed room and let them stab them, or decapitate them or do what the fuck ever as long as they wanted.

or do it in public.

This I can agree with

[Weedman]

Only reason why i would be against it is because it would give the worst criminals free ticket out of paying for their crimes, i prefer that child rapists and other scum of the earth suffer in prison for the rest of their lives getting beaten up and hated.

the only problem with that, is how anyone convicted of a sex crime, rape, child molestation etc... can just be put in to protective custody when in prison.

sort of defeats the purpose. they suffer but not as much as their victims do. especially since they have to live with it and carry that shit the rest of their life. children who are the victims of something like that probably end up committing suicide later on when they get older half the time.
or worse.

sometimes they end up becoming the same fucking thing, because it fucked them up that much. it's been known to happen in some cases.

[Ctwentysevenj]

For nasty pricks, like the the prick below, whom stabbed to death a 17 year old Melbourne school girl Masa Vukotic last week. He after his captured, he had to give his finger. This prick straight to the electric chair.

[Smaug]

For it.

You see, this then just turns into a pointless vendetta between two families, and I have seen enough of those to know that nothing good comes out of it.
The key thing here is that the state should hand out the justice. As I said, it is more about psychological warfare than petty revenge. Turning the death penalty into a mere tool for families to get revenge only devalues it.
