Question

Why do people give up to cops if likly 2 be executed regardless of guilt, innocence or good reason killed abuser


why not keep fighting to survive taking out anyone who thretens you, go out fighting or save the last bullet?


Likewise why go willingly to the execution spot?

Answer 1

Mabey they tire of living with their guilt and fighting and hurting others so they find that little spot of humaneness within them and "do the right thing." But on the other hand, "some will, some won't." If I new the answer to that one I could rule the world.

Answer 2

That is a lovely question!

Cops are clever. They catch you when you are dozy at 5 a.m. And they overwhelm you in numbers.

If a killer just walks into a police station and gives themselves up I imagine it is often their conscience speaking. Most killers are not "rational", they kill when high on drugs, or anger, or despair, and they feel quite different emotions later.

Perhaps the sight of the dead body they've suddenly created is shocking and changes them.

By the time you get to execution, usually your spirit is done for, you have lost all hope. In the US you have been in a high-tech dungeon for maybe ten years and you have lost maybe ten legal appeals through the various courts. Imagine.... in all that time the prison authorities have not let you hug or touch your spouse or your mom, and you have spent 23 hours a day in a cell 8 foot by 6, often many of the days with another person whom you can't stand. They feed your body and you can have books, but it is not human life as you know it. For example, as one death row prisoner I knew described it, "if I squat in one corner of my cell and look up through the top right hand corner of the window, I can just about see the sun when it is in the south". Nothing has changed since Joan of Arc's speech that prison was worse than death 600 years ago, except the technology. Is it so shocking that you are "resigned to the inevitable"?

Answer 3

I'm guessing you are talking about what you see in films? In which case, I agree with you, when someone is led to their execution and they are walking calmly beside the security guards I'm thinking "run! Fight!"

Answer 4

they have no where to run
