Absolutely, yes. the death penalty is nothing more than barbaric revenge. I mean if a state doesn't approve of murderers (and I think that's perfectly right) then it cannot become itself a murderer to punish people for doing it. That is ridiculous to begin with!

Besides, there's always the chance of a mistake, plus the fact that most people who have been sentenced to death have been poor Latino guys, not wealthy white people who can buy their way out of the penalty, thanks to costly lawyers.

Now, some people say they don't want their taxes to be used to feed murderers for life, but they have no problem that some of that money is used to feed a jury, lodge them while the trial is on, and pay for the very ink they are going to use to actually make a human life finish untimely! And then, these people don't mind their money being used for the electricity that will be passed into these convicts' bodies, or the poison that will come into their veins, or to pay a doctor a salary so he makes sure the guy is dead (while he's taken a Hippocratic Oath to SAVE lives, but he's sitting there, his arms crossed, waiting for this guy who was in perfectly good shape... to DIE!)... So, there are guys who will claim this, but a people that consents the death penalty is no better than the people actually dying because of it.

And by the way, a state that applies the death penatly becomes a homicidal state. Shouldn't that state too be punished with the death penalty? They are murderers, too!

No. I think the death penalty law should be tougher. As it is people punished with the death penalty sit on death row forever, sucking up tax money while watching cable tv.
Even better , let's have reality Tv death penalty shows like Running Man.

Yes there is several cases where people in this country have come very close to being executed for a crime they didn't commit. There was one man in Illinois that came within one week of his execution date and they tested DNA evidence from the scene against his and found that it wasn't a match so they released him that is why they no longer have the death penalty there. He was sentenced before DNA analysis was discovered. Also in England they did kill a man that didn't commit a crime they thought he murdered a neighbor of his and they found out too late that he was innocent, they no longer as a country have the death penalty. There can just be way too many mistakes and taking one innocent life is just wrong.

I think that it isn't used properly and in some cases I don't think it's used enough. I mean really child molesters all need to be fried. They don't deserve the chance to live a life even if it is in prison. And why should I have to pay to house and feed murders, rapists and child molesters. I believe that if you get rid of the death penalty then crime in these areas will rise. Even know you can't get the death penalty for rape or child molestation. But if you could I bet that those crimes would decrease.

No. I stay in Texas, and that i supported capital punishment for a lengthy time period, even if the more effective I realized about it, the more effective I got here to oppose it. contained in the proper, a number of factors replaced my recommendations: - blunders ensue. because 1973 contained in the U.S., 138 human beings were released from death row with evidence of their innocence. those are all those who were got here across responsible "previous a useful doubt." A existence sentence is reversible. An execution isn't. - fee - via criminal equipment designed to reduce wrongful executions (and the enormous cost of death row incarceration), it expenditures taxpayers a lot more effective to execute someone than to imprison them for existence. - it isn't a deterrent - violent crime charges are continuously larger in death penalty jurisdictions. - that is unevenly and arbitrarily utilized. - because the U.S. is between the in simple terms precise last international locations with capital punishment, many different international locations refuse to extradite wide-spread criminals who should be status trial the following. - It fosters a custom of violence through exclaiming that killing is an proper answer to a difficulty. - Jesus became antagonistic to it (see Matthew 5:7 & 5:38-39, James 4:12, Romans 12:17-21, John 8:7, and James a million:20). - existence with out parole (LWOP) is on the books in maximum states now (all except Alaska), and it potential what it says. those who get this sentence are taken off the streets. For good. - As Voltaire once wrote, "allow the punishments of criminals be functional. A hanged guy is nice for no longer some thing; a guy condemned to public works nonetheless serves the rustic, and is a residing lesson." - even if you’re a hardened criminal or a authorities representing the human beings, killing yet another man or woman is incorrect. era. “He did it first” isn't a valid excuse.

No. There are certain people who have totally abdicated their right to continue to live among the rest of us. The death penalty should not be given lightly but the capability to admisinster it should not be eliminated altogether. It should be reserved for people who are for example serial murderer rapists who left their DNA all over their victims. The resources that are used to house, feed and medically care for such people could be better utilized caring for high risk kids whose lives could be totally changed for the better with early intervention. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to "adopt-a-felon" into thier own home and find out just how "rehabilitate-able" they are. The death penalty does not deter would be criminals, but it ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEES that a vicious predator will NEVER again prey on the innocent. Who are we trying to protect anyway???!!!

No. Some people should not be able to live. A man who brutally rapes and murders 100 3 year olds shouldn't be given the chance to stay alive, as there's always the chance of escape (or even parol, some people are complete idiots these days).

It needs to be done. I think that we should go back to public hangings on courthouse lawns. That will scare would be criminals into thinking twice.

We are WAY too soft on criminals these days.

100 years ago they would never parole a convicted murderer, child molester, or rapist.

Why do these people get awarded rights? Did their victims have any rights as they were having their lives ruined by these wastes of human life?
