is it right to kill a killer?

Question

f so, where does this end coz surely the person that kills the killer is a killer also and therfore must be killed otherwise society is not being fair on the initial killer. in other words do you think the death penalty is right and needed, if you do think it needed then why dont we (britain) need it too,we got rid of it ages ago ad are doing just fine without it, after all to spend the next 50 years in a prison cell is much worse than getting electrocuted and not paying for your crimes at all, isnt it?

**** man, look yeah it dont need no in deph analysis yeah it takes yes or no and a quick reason why, my view is simplistic aswell according to one person, well one that i have read, well my simplistic view is supported by the rest of the west, only america kills their people, only america lets them carry guns, is there a connection to be made here??

and what does the left have to with this? i aint no ******* socialist or a tory im a human ok, human, i look at things and judge them for what they are not because thats what people of my political persuasion think because thats what i think, i have lots of sympathy for victims of murder, only 2 weeks ago a 25yr old woman whose family i was practicaly a member of was murdered she got stabbed in the neck, so please dont assume that i have no care for the victims but all people are people no matter what they have done and how evil they have been, no one has the right to deny another person the right to breathe, we can and should incarcerate them for the rest of their lives, i agree with that dangers to society should not be allowed back into society this is obvious, a monkey could tell you that, even bush could tell you that, but killing them makes us as bad as they are

Answer 1

No! Two wrongs don't make a right!

Answer 2

No- an innocent victim, usually someone who ADDS to society, doesn't have a say in whether they get killed. Their family suffers a great loss as well as society.

A violent criminal who murders their victim does have a say in whether that person dies. A person who chooses to kill someone is a sociopath who could very well kill other members of our society.

I think it is acceptable to require that persons who violently end lives pay a similar price for what they have done. It is also smart to prevent the murder of OTHER innocent people by sociopathic criminals. How many times have you heard of a criminal getting released murdering again?

Britain has a much SMALLER population than the US and also a different society. I think assuming all crimes and criminals are the same is simplistic and doesn't take into account different values that different societies have. "Moral Relativity" is a dangerous concept and leads a society into assuming things that just aren't so. The VICTIMS have paid a price that cannot ever be repaid. Why let the lowest level of humanity, violent criminals get off with a price less expensive. To "reform" them...do the math and see how well that's worked so far.

Answer 3

Wow, that was a tough read, I didn't realize English was a second language in Britain.

You can do what works for you, we shall do what works for us. We kicked your asses out over 200 years ago, for trying to tell us what to do, we could do it again, only this time a whole lot more easy.

But I will try to answer your question nonetheless. First off, thanks to the moral corruption that plaques our society, we have far to many people getting themselves into trouble. Most are relatively speaking, harmless. There are however, many that are simply beyond hope.

Sure you can keep them in jail forever, but to what end? I would think execution is much more humane then living your life in jail.

Why does everyone think that Ken Lay 'got out easy' by dying of a heart attack before he went to jail, but the same people say we should not execute the worst of the worst.

Question for you. What is your and your countries stance on abortion? Is it okay to kill an innocent unborn child? Just not a criminal? I don't know much about British politics so I don't assume to know the answer to that.

Answer 4

The death penalty is something that is needed because not everyone is scared or worried about being locked up, not when you have a bed central heat and air, three meals a day an indoor gym cable television paid schooling a job that earns you money and privileges phone calls availability to more funds to get put on your books to make life even more luxurious if your nasty enough in house sex and drugs that can be shipped in by dirty guards or that are inserted in someone elses rectum then delivered. Yes maybe it works in brittain but here in the U S of A it is a necessity and if you want to honestly speak of fair, life is always and should always be lived by tit for tat or do unto others as you want done unto you, you kill you'll be killed its as simple as that.

Answer 5

Australia doesn't have it either but i wish it did. Take the 8 year old in Perth for instance. A 21 year old man raped and murdered her while she was in a shopping centre toilet. He has been caught and there is no doubt he did it. He deserves to die. In our system he could get out in 7 years, the jail time here for murderers is ridiculous. It should be saved for the worst of the worst and where there is no doubt in their guilt. Why should society have to pay for him to sit in jail. That family has paid enough with the cost of the daughter and the most horrific way she died, why should their taxes pay to keep him alive in a jail that when he gets out will probably do this again (he had already raped someone a year or so ago and got off ).
Death is all he deserves

Answer 6

No killing the killer does not do anything to deter killing and sinks us to the killers level also what happens when the wrong person is executed which happens a lot more than is admitted to Oops so sorry about that but Oh well Ca ca happens

Answer 7

You Got A Point There And Yes That Is A lot Better...But if u killed a killer u wouldn't necessarily be a killer your self because you were defending your self in some cases.

Answer 8

Death penalty is a MUST. If you don't like it, don't kill someone. It is as easy as that.

Why does the left have so much sympathy for criminals, but none for the victims, or unborn children? Makes no sense to me.

Answer 9

I agree.... killing a killer is wrong. Plus, what if the person was innocent? At least if it's found out, they can be released from prison. If they were executed, you can't bring them back. How terrible would that be?!?!!? (Not that it was a good option to be in prison, just better than dead.)

Answer 10

Yes it's right and the person who humanely carries out the sentence isn't a killer. They are delivering justice.

Answer 11

Absolutely! It is the only proven method of ensuring s/he does not repeat his crime.

Like they say in Texas, "If you kill somone in Texas, we're gonna kill you back!"
