i totally agree with you...but liberals are for passing the buck...so if a criminal does those horrific things...its not their fault...its societies fault and we should pander to their inner child who is kind, gentle, and all around warm and fuzzy...they neglect to understand humanity...

Answer 2

More and more Americans are coming to prefer life without parole. Last years Gallup poll showed that 47% of all Americans prefer capital punishment while 48% prefer life without parole. Life without parole is available in 48 states. It means what it says.

People support the death penalty because they are concerned that killers my be released into their communities and because they do not yet know the pragmatic facts about the death penalty-

It costs more than life in prison.
It is not a deterrent.
It risks executing innocent people. DNA is available in only 10% of all homicides (it is not a guarantee that we will avoid the risk)
The death penalty can be very hard on families of murder victims.
The death penalty does not apply to the worst of the worst. It applies to defendants with the worst lawyers.
Many victims family members who support the death penalty prefer life without parole because of the affect of the death penalty on families like theirs.

Facts and common sense, not slogans or revenge should help up make our minds up on this issue.

Answer 3

Your examples show the reason - Charlie Manson is currently alive and in prison and has not killed anyone, so the death penalty is clearly not necessary to prevent further crimes. Further, innocent people are certainly killed because of the death penatly. The exact numbers are unknowable, but everyone agrees innocent people have died.

So, the death penalty is not the least severe punishment necessary to accomplish deterrent and prevention and it gives the most severe punishment possible to people who don't deserve punishment at all, so what exactly is good about the death penalty?

Answer 4

Well...I have some good news on that issue: Ted Bundy was electrocuted (done before the liberals won and tolerated use of the "lethal injection table") 18 years ago. Word is he's making room in Hell for Manson and his "Mansonites".

Liberals all worry of the possibility we may execute....er....I mean....lethally inject a truly innocent criminal (an oxymoron if ever were one).

DNA law enforcement forensic science is daily evolving to where the opposing death penalty liberals don't have much an arguement to stand on; albeit true a few truly innocent people get released thanks to DNA. By the same coin flip--DNA is tagging the truly GUILTY people each day, too because DNA Does Not Assume........

Answer 5

The death penalty is all about an eye for an eye- and in socially intelligent circles and people of enlightenment, this theory is based solely on revenge. Revenge is obviously stupid.

Anyone who advocates the death penalty is in a state of spiritual and intellectual crisis.

Anyone who devalues life by extinguishing it in any capacity and uses an immature rationalization has not grown much farther on any level than the socially incapacitated.

Not withstanding, someone who acts so socially deviant, requires by the majority to remove the deviant from the general population- but to kill them entirely is nothing better than what they have done themselves.

Murder is murder.

1. The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
2. Slang. Something that is very uncomfortable, difficult, or hazardous: The rush hour traffic is murder.
3. A flock of crows. See synonyms at flock1.


v., -dered, -der·ing, -ders.

v.tr.

1. To kill (another human) unlawfully.
2. To kill brutally or inhumanly.
3. To put an end to; destroy: murdered their chances.
4. To spoil by ineptness; mutilate: a speech that murdered the English language.
5. Slang. To defeat decisively; trounce.

The above is the official dictionary description of murder.

As stated earlier by an answer. On the death certificate it is listed as "homicide" as the cause of death.

Homicide (Latin homicidium, homo human being + caedere to cut, kill) refers to the act of killing another human being.

Answer 6

Go the death penalty! For those opposed to it, fine, let them go live in Alaska or some remote island where they cann ot affect normal societies, and have to sustain their own living, thereby not costing the taxpayer a dime.
I'm sick of politicians who think they can be rehabilitated or that they deserve a second change, when they no0rmally just do it again, and society ends up paying the price for the politician's stupidity. Or giving them the vote in prison, yeah, even better, good lord!
Life is full of choices and nobody who commits those crimes can say they didn't know it was wrong.

I live in a country where the death penalty is alive and very well applied. Therefore we have a very very low crime rate. Criminals KNOW what will happen, it's a marvelouys deterrant.

Answer 7

if the justice system wasn't so messed up, i don't think there'd even be a need for the death penalty. I have read studies conducted where it says that having the death penalty does not reduce crime. Also, people like to play God, thinking they can kill whoever they want, and let others live if they want (the gov't is especially good with deciding who lives and dies. they SHOULDN'T be allowed to have that power over life). Another thing is it costs a lot more money to have someone on death row than to put them in prison. Our tax dollars can be better used to help the good than to spend on a criminal. Plus, for criminals, it's easier to die & have fame than to live with pain & guilt. (I'd rather them live with pain and guilt).

Answer 8

Okay, lets suppose the following to see if you are a murderer.

You advocate the death penalty. You are aware that innocent real live human beings have been electrocuted only to be found posthumously innocent.

Therefore, since you advocate that we abide by a system that occasionally makes mistakes, which causes innocent people to be electrocuted, then are you not actually a perpetrator of that Innocent's electrocution and if you electrocuted an innocent person, by virtue of advocating an imperfect system that you know to be imperfect, then are you not guilty of murder and therefore should you not be electrocuted for murder?

Answer 9

common sense? Then tell me why 30 years later Charlie Manson is still alive...because the capital punishment system is biased and flawed.

Answer 10

Did you know that when someone dies after an execution the manner of death on the death certificate is "Homicide"?

Guess it's too much for you to understand that when our society kills one of it's citizens, it condones homicide. After all, it's only common sense...

Answer 11

Nothing is as evil as an unwanted baby. That is why only women have the right to sentence another human being to death even if their only crime is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
