Death penalty: yes or no

[ChunkBuster]

Do you agree with the death penalty?

Seems like the US is the only Western nation that has it?

But then they have 330 million people.

Or should Europe just grow a pair and stop being pussies? Edit: Canada too.

[ChunkBuster]

It’s certainly a punishment with zero re-offending rate!

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Yes but no more waiting 20 years to be executed.

Give them 365 days... If you dont produce something compelling by then, peace out bye.

[Sergis]

nah

false convictions happen

also having to live imprisoned seems to be a bigger punishment than not existing

that said i do see the appeal of shoot him and be done with it approach

[knightofday]

Absolutely I do.

We need to shorten the appeals process, by law no more than 5-10 years on death row srs.

[ChunkBuster]

Yeah, the length of time on death row is obscene.

15 yrs waiting in prison then get fried.

[Clockbro]

In theory, yes. In practice, no.

The fact that innocent people have been executed just means that the state is guilty of murder with no culpability.

Also cheaper to sentence life with no parole.

[xxAchillesxx]

Agree with most others here. Absolutely agree with it, but the waiting in line and dying of old age after 25 years is ridiculous. And I get the arguments against it as well regarding the possibilities of wrongfully accused. However I'm still definitely for it. In middle school we had a mock debate for it, and I interviewed my pastor regarding his feelings towards it. I was surprised to find out he agreed with it. Basically said, it's not a torture vessel, or even a "punishment" even though it's called that... it's an eradication. It's the complete removal of pure evil from the earth.

[LtGoose]

100% yes

I don't care how many innocent ppl get caught up in it. The benefits outweigh the risks. It just takes too damn long to actually go thru with it

[TheGoldenBull]

China has it.

Absolutely YES.


imagine paying to support a man that raped a child or murdered 20 people. your tax dollars pay for his 3 meals a day and a place to sleep for the rest of his life.


are you a cuckold?

[AWillis]

yes, bring back public hangings

[Noliberals4]

Yes, but I think the standard of proof needs to be raised (as in, beyond even "reasonable doubt"). I did not think Scott Peterson deserved the death penalty even though he clearly did it. Also, no 20+ year appeals.

I don't think there are any logical arguments against the death penalty aside from an innocent person getting executed, so we just gotta make sure not to execute an innocent person.

Also, Communists/Socialists deserve first class tickets to the DP!!!

[Johnny11Bravo]

100% yes

I don't care how many innocent ppl get caught up in it. The benefits outweigh the risks. It just takes too damn long to actually go thru with it

lmao. This


We need to get rid of lethal injections as well. Too expensive.

Go back to wild west. If you get caught killing someone red handed, or raping kids, give them a cig and firing squad.

Enough with these "humane" executions. You want to act inhumane towards someone life, you will not get the same leniency.

[JUSA]

I am strongly against it.

I am not against defending myself with deadly force and I do not give a rat's ass for the life of scum.

However -- I do not think the state has the right to end anyone's life and I think our legal system is very flawed. Many people do not get the same legal "justice" as others (ie. rich/poor). I don't see why some rich rapist murderer gets to get some reduced sentence while some poor person doing the same thing is executed. Never mind all the wrongly convicted people or how stupid juries often are.

I think if someone's crime is bad enough -- lock them away, throw away the key, do not let them hurt anyone else in society. Do not give them special privileges, do not let them get married to their sicko penpals, do not coddle them, do not have the state pay $50,000 to transition them to females -- fuk 'em, put them in a dark room and give them 3 mediocre meals daily, nothing more.

[PepperedAngus]

To make an omelet you gotta break some eggs.

[Lucas5814]

Yes. Death penalty shall only be issued if certain amount of evidence in court PLUS jury.

No sentences longer than 30 years. Prison is one of the biggest scams in this country.

[ConTroLFreaKK]

Nah, as others have said innocent people get convicted & it also doesn't deter violent crime at all. Throw them in a cage, i think a solitude existence is more terrifying than death.

[miscHodor]

No; and not because I'm a bleeding heart libtard. It's because I'm old enough to realize the government and our justice system could **** up a wet dream.

[Berts]

Yes, if its a cut and dry murder case, take them right out and put a bullet in their head. Any murder charge, 2nd degree, mental health, etc doesn't matter.

Do it

[ChunkBuster]

yes, bring back public hangings

Oh, please… Get with the times…. 🙄🙄🙄













…you didn’t even mention PPV

[bsmit107]

For certain crimes yes.....Im even for taking them out right now and not letting them rot in a cell for years/waste tax dollars and increase system costs.

I wish there was a way to actually make people suffer. Like for mass murders and child rapists and such that get sentenced to "135 years" or "3 Life sentences".....I wish there was a way to medically keep them alive that long just to serve out the sentence as their mind & body fail them, they're kept alive enough to feel the pain of it and forced to rot on a cold concrete floor unable to die and just lay there, unable to move, pissing and chitting themselves and just think about what they did and let it completely destroy them while they just wait for their sentence to be fulfilled so the plug can be pulled and they can have the sweet relief of death.

[deft0nes]

putting a completely healthy criminal to death is kind of waste. we should keep them alive and slowly strip them of their organs and useful body parts, give them to cancer patients and sick people who need them (eyes, liver, kidney, etc). then finally donate their heart once we've exhausted every thing else through surgery.

it sounds cruel, but i'd rather them pay for it that way than rot in a jail cell for 50 years or get a lethal injection. it's an easy way out of this world for a lot of them. the crimes they committed against society were done because they don't have any respect for others or themselves. i'm sure all of these killers and rapists hate their lives and wish they were never born anyways. make some use out of them.

[GaryRidgway]

Don't really care either way

[Redfish225]

nah

false convictions happen

also having to live imprisoned seems to be a bigger punishment than not existing

that said i do see the appeal of shoot him and be done with it approach

I sorta agree with this until I think about how much it costs to house an inmate yearly. (25-45k)

[Omnivium]

Yes, when there's overwhelming evidence that they are guilty. And don't wait 10 years, give them like 1-2 years max and then be done with it

[MrCarrot]

Yes I agree with it, for the most serious crimes.

Unfortunately in the UK we will never have it back, despite the fact that I imagine 50% of people or more would support it.

Here, our serious criminals are released by the parole board to potentially offend again, or the most serious ones die behind bars (unusual) at great expense to the tax payer.

[JT11RTR]

Yes. Anyone convicted of murder or child molestation should be immediately executed. With dna and technology, people are very rarely falsely convicted today.
