Views on the death penalty

Willgatus Airslasher · 07-25-2003

Out of curiosity, how do you all feel regarding capital punishment? Please state whether you are for its implementation/continuation in your country (and to what extent if so) or not, and explain why. Also, please refrain from posting idiotic one-liners and flaming each other on this thread (yeah, I'm asking for the impossible

).

I'm all for it. A person who willingly kills or even molests should be blown off the face of the earth. Of course, I have a unique perspective. I am a corrections officer in a close custody(1 step below supermax) prison. I see these convicts day in and day out. they deserve to get what they get. They are not in prison or on death row 'casue they are rocket scientists.

being very vague...

i'm not for it, i hate the thought of a miss sentence, or the other side being able to misconstrew the facts to make an innocent person guilty (paranoid probably)

justice being blind, its very hard for me to accept a punishment like that

I'm for the death penalty ideally, but I'm against it in our society today. If people were sentenced to death and taken out behind the courthouse and incinerated, then I'd be all for it. However, it costs millions and millions of dollars and years and years of appeals to finally carry out the sentence, which is ridiculous.

I'm all for capital punishment, coming from sweden where we don't really even have prison sentences over 14 years (might be a lil bit longer) unless you're a looney, in which case you can get out either really quick or almost never at all, depending on when they think you're "sane" again.

Like this summer in the town where i live, a bunch of guys beat up and jumped on one guy til he died, the one who got the longest sentence (one awaiting sanity hearing thingy) was 8 years, and he did the jumping. Mind you this happened in the middle of the street, in the middle of town. I think something like that deserves a death sentence really. Also all child molesters should be executed if you ask me.

I am for capital punishment, but it really needs to be changed in the US to a more swift form of justice.

On another note I also feel we need to bring back corproal punishment for lesser offenses as it is one of the best ways to cut down on petty crime.

I can think of many worse penalties than death. Death happens to everybody at some time. You're not gonna care if you had a long life or a short life when you're dead.

I don't see the point in the death sentence, murder is not justice.

i am all for Death penalty. Maybe our country will finally have some money instead of paying for Jails and for them to eat. Since i don't really do anything bad that could get me thrown in jail I wish they would promote the Code of Hammurabi, "Eye for an eye, Tooth for a tooth" If you steal something.. you get you hand cut off... so next time you wont steal. I also think there should be public hangings, it costs less then lethal injection and for all you treehuggers, we are also conserving energy instead of pumping extremely high voltage into someone on "the chair."

I'm for the death penalty because some people just deserve to die. In fact, I don't think we kill enough criminals. I was watching the news about a year ago and this rapist was released on parole. Two days after he was released he barged into a random apartment while a young mother and daughter were having dinner. Screaming at the top of his lungs, he pointed a shotgun at both of them. The girl began to cry and when her mother leaned over to comfort her the man shot half of her face off. She lived through it. One minute she's eating dinner with her daughter, the next she's laying on the floor with half her face missing all because some asshole found her door unlocked. Imagine being the father and finding out about what happened to your family while you were away.

Do you think the guy in this link deserved to die?

I am for the Death penalty and think the US does a pretty good job of it now. However I would like to see a new level of guilt used in death penalty cases. Today we use the "Beyound all reasonable doubt" system. For death penalty cases I would go for " beyound unreasonable doubt".

Do not get me wrong. I am very happy with our system. I am sure many more innocent people are murdered by people we release back into society than innocent people are put to death. I stand behind our system.

BTW isnt this thread just kinda troll the Euros thing? not that that is bad.

A is A.
