Sorry, death penalty.
2006-11-01 13:24:35 · update #1
These arent my words,but could be:
"I don't believe that the death penalty acts as a deterrent. Many states in the USA have the death penalty, and the USA has far more violent homicides per capita than UK, where the death penalty is no longer a punishment.
If my loved ones were to be brutally killed, would I want revenge? Sure. If I had the opportunity to slay my loved ones' killers, would I take it? Maybe. I hope not. But I don't believe for one second that the state has the right to do it for me. If I did take revenge, I would do so in the full expectation that I would do time for it. And rightly so.
As a deterrent, the death penalty is ineffective. As justice, it's indefensible. There are not many ways in which we can point to progress in the area of state morality, but the abandonment by most of the world's governments of the death penalty is one of them. Any state that still allows it to be employed within its borders does not deserve to count itself as a civilised nation."

i think the death penalty should be expanded to inclued more charges.
i think the inmates should be allowed only one appeal.
i think we should just shoot them in the back of the head after the appeal is over instead of housing them for so long.
it is a time and money saving soulution.
i also think all the rights given to inmates thanks to the Ruiz case should be taken away

I think if you do the crime you should do the time. Should that mean your time will be served in Heaven or hell is up to you if the time requires a death sentence.
