tbh .... i'd rather put someone in jail for life, than take his life.

why? whats wrong with an eye for an eye? or 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if thine eye offend the pluck it out' which roughly translates as 'kill those who transgress against thee'

the only way that i might agree to a death sentence is, if the man killed another man just for the fuck of it. but if it was self denfense, than no.

What if he called yo momma a ho?

I do feel some crimes deserve the death penalty. The problem I have is human error. How many innocent people have been sent to death row and new evidence was found to free them? How many have died that shouldn't have? Scary.

ah, there is the nub though, the taking of human life in 'self defence' is still a sin and as such should have the ultimate sanction.

not the old 'they didnt do it' defence. everyone arrested by the forces of law and order, even if, technically not guilty of the crime they are arrested for, will be known to the police and will no doubt have got off with some criminal activity at some stage in the past. To be executed for a crime they 'didn't do' is just pay back with interest for earlier transgressions, like taking a library book back several years late.

i know...

an who the fuck is the judge to take someone's life. he ain't no god lol

 

[hobbit.]

eh...

who is to say that it was really self defence and not a pre meditated assault by the murderer in order to justify murder as 'self defence'

evidence speaks.

In many countries, life doesn't actually mean life.
Here, life is generally only 25 years.
I don't see how that's fair.

so does forensics. a blow to the back of the head can be fatal, but ....... why was the victim there....

Keeping people in prison for life costs states tons of money.

Executing them would reduce this cost and burden.

With the exception of Texas, most states average only 3-5 executions per year.

but still...

I say we hold gladiator style executions. Only the strongest survives, and the state makes loads of money from ticket sales.

complete fallacy


it costs more to keep one prisoner on death row for a year then it does to keep a prisoner in regular prison for 5 years


financially, the death penalty is a huge drain on budgets

You damn right, this son-of-a-bitch made an illegal u-turn in 1996 ... off with his fucking head ... the guillotine I say ... kill the bastard, he must have done something.

[cjh]

Nope.

Doesn't work.

Vengeance looks good on paper.

But it's too arbitrary and capricious in real life.
