Thank you! I totally agree! I am all for it. If you kill someone you have already ruined a families lives forever, the least they can get is to know that you can't hurt another family. Wait, is this Paul or the Italian friend that asked?

I don't believin the death penalty for the following reasons. The first reason is becouse many innocent people get killed every year becouse of the Death penalty. Once the death penalty is carried out, its pernament. Even if they find evidence a few years down the line, what good is it if that person was killed. If someone was innicent and was sentence to life in prision, but 10 years later they DNA evidence was found, or some other evidence that proves that their not guilty, they can be set free. Yeah, it would suck, but at least their not killed. If they were killed by the death penalty, then the evidence doesn't really matter, does it? What if somebody you cared about was killed by the death penalty. Then you found that they were sentenced to death due to sloppy police work and invesigations. Would you still be for it. Another reason its not good is becouse it costs millions and millions of tax payer dollars, that me and you pay every year. What that person did is unspeakable wrong. He should pay for what he did, and life in prision is worse then the death penalty. I would rather be killed then live in a cell 23 hours a day, and getting rapped in jail. Once the death penalty is carried out, that person doesn't have to suffer anymore, its all over. Why not make him suffer for the rest of his life.

Most people want to punish others who violate the laws and the conventions that embody the fundamental values of society. Having worked in the prison system for many years it seems to me that the best punishment is life without the possibility of parole. Prison society, like the society that put people in prison, has its own rules and values and can really make life hell for someone that is not a thief, murderer, drug user, or prison gang member. Someone you described would probably have to spend time in solitary for his own protection, 23 hours a day locked in a tiny cell and one hour for exercise, again alone. These people go quietly crazy from the sheer loneliness and lack of human contact, even those humans in the system. I think if you want to hurt and punish you should consider making such a person serve life without the possibility of parole in solitary. Even as nasty and hardened as prison gang members can be they have a code where they protect the young. Such an individual could never make it in the general population. Besides, that is where the word penitentiary came from, to be penitent.

only seem to those international places that seem to assume the death penalty is a deterrent, are murders nonetheless committed there? i think of so, truthfully i think of the homicide fee in a number of those international places continues to be to be extremely desirable, corresponding to Jamaica, who's 0.33 on earth listings of homicide consistent with head of capita, interior the Western international, the optimum united states is Russia, which additionally has the death penalty (no. 5 on the checklist), even nonetheless their chief retains moratorium. On a private point, i do no longer wish my government being as undesirable with the aid of fact the people who committed the crimes. As a people, or united states, I wish we are larger than that. i think of the human race has moved on from 'putting drawing and quartering' people in public, a pass returned of the death penalty is a step backwards

To be honest with you, I think life in prison is a far worse penalty than death. Think about it. You are in a cell 23 hours a day, and the remaining one hour, you risk getting f*cked in the a$$. Sounds much worse than death if you ask me.

I fail to see how that would have prevented the murder. He was psychopath and he definitely didn't consider the consequences of what he was doing.
Murderers in general don't weigh up the possible punishments before they kill someone so it has almost no deterrent effect.
Carrying out a death sentence is very expensive.

bring it back, punish the bad guy or have your friend Alex Sosa send mercenaries in a big mansion shootout.

Bringing back the death penalty won't bring back that little girl, it will cost more with appeals, he probably won't ever be put to death anyways, and 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Using superior power to kill an individual is what is wrong.
That man used his superior power to destroy life.
If we kill him, we are doing the same.
It's more punishment for him to live a pointless, totured life in prison (child abusers or killers are not popular in prison).
