Question

Do you think the do gooders who have too much say in this country are fifth columnists and deserve to be classed the same as the above.

Answer 1

yes

make the death penalty retroactive for the ones already in prison also

possibly include illegal aliens under certain conditions....like smuggling drugs, etc

Answer 2

This question has been asked a million times.

The first part of your question ...you will find answers from the hang em and flog em brigade. They think they are right
You will have answers from the devils advocates who look at the previous effectiveness of such deterrants and yet see the re-establishment of capital punishment as a way of controlling the numbers of these offenders that are caught.
You will get answers from the bleeding heart do gooders, who see capital punishment as barbaric and regressive to society..
As for the second part of your question....thats what I find more disturbing...why should an opinion be so wrong that you deserve to be labelled a paedophile, murderer or terrorist?

We live in a country that embraces freedom of speech and thought...what you suggest in response to this is a Big Brother state!

Answer 3

I think many do especially during the current times where the offender seems to get an easy ride of it compared to the victim.

I personally don't think we should bring back capital punishment, but I do think life should mean life and each case through the courts should be treated individually and the more heinous the crime the greater the sentence. And parole shouldn't be granted willy-nilly as it seems to be these days.

One could argue that it doesn't work as a deterrent as many states in the US have capital punishment, but it doesn't stop people from committing crimes does it ?

I for one would like to see a government take the justice system by the balls and shake it up so that the system favours the victim and all crimes punished correctly - I mean killing someone on the road and you get 8 years even if you were classed as a dangerous driver - what a joke!

Answer 4

i assume you're able to desire to declare that the punishment would desire to in superb condition the crime. So some could say a existence for a existence, yet with capital punishment it is too undemanding. i think of you're top however, why would desire to the family individuals be left to grieve and the perpetrator be enable flow undemanding? he should not be waiting to repent while he's lifeless. turn factor of that however, is a deterrent for others who could evaluate doing the comparable/comparable crime. for my section, the British justice gadget is basically too lenient. you have committed a criminal offense, don't be concerned. we are going to positioned you up in a tax payer funded safeguard abode the place you're able to have each and all the well-liked conveniences you're able to desire to desire and you do no longer would desire to elevate a finger. How is that punishment? And existence does not recommend existence right here. the yank justice gadget is extra helpful. you like present day conveniences? stressful. you're able to have a radio on your cellular, once you're fortunate. you prefer to observe television? Do it in an undemanding room. you will desire to artwork to your privileges. reformatory is meant to be stressful, in any different case it is not punishment. Capital punishment isn't punishment so a techniques as i'm worried. you're no longer likely to income out of your errors that way...

Answer 5

Why are those opposed to capital punishment labelled "do-gooders?"

Capital punishment does not prevent crime or act as a deterrent. Fact.

Texas executes more people than any other US state and has worse crime rates. States without death penalty have lower crime.

Capital Punishment results in fewer guilty pleas, more appeals and bigger fees for lawyers. Fact. Would you own up and send yourself to the gallows?

If you kill a defendant in error, a pardon is no good to him when he is dead. Fact. The Guildford Four, Birmingham Six, that solicitor who was acquitted on appeal of murdering her children. They would all have died for nothing.

Only the world's most dubious regimes murder prisoners. The argument for capital punishment is dead in the water and was settled 40 years ago. Even a landslide Tory government didn't manage to reinstate it. Move on.

Answer 6

No I am against the death penalty. It was abolished for a reason - it is not foolproof and innocent people have been killed by the state. Even in this day and age of DNA evidence it is still possible to convict the wrong person - look at those poor women who were convicted of killing their babies and eventually freed, or the Jill Dando "killer" who is quite possibly innocent. And these are just the high profile cases, there are many more.

I don't believe in an eye for an eye - how can you say that killing is wrong and then punish a killer by killing them? Surely that would make you just as bad as them.

Answer 7

No, because not everyone on death row really committed the crimes they are there for. The system is not any where near perfect. The # of people the have been exonerated from death row is amazing... and the people that have been found innocent after they died is completely unacceptable (ex. Jesse Tafero)!
Besides life in prison is much worse then death. If they really are guilty I'd rather see them spending their life paying for what they did then just die for it.

FYI to the person who said that it costs more to keep some one in prison for life... here is the reality!
The cost of incarceration are expensive (about $25,000 per year per inmate), that amounts to $750,000 to $1,000,000 depending on whether a person lives 30 or 40 years after his or her sentencing. The death penalty, on the other hand, costs an additional $2 million per execution!

Answer 8

Evil monsters such as failed suicide bombers, those who torture victims to death, and a few other types of skinbag who forefit their human Rights, because they've ceased to be human should definitely be killed if there's absolutely no doubt about their guilt.

Answer 9

So anyone who disagrees with you, should be classed as a murderer, paedophile and terrorist.

You're up for a bit of reasoned debate, then?

Answer 10

When you hear of a children murder or a peadophile hurting a child your instinct is to bring back hanging but when you think about it logically then no.

These people who would "qualify" for capital punishment (terrorists, peadophiles) are so sick in the head it would not deter them from doing their crime anyway!

Its a sad world..................

Answer 11

Oh yes, without a shadow of a doubt. I do, however foresee one pretty major problem though. How do we prove, without a shadow of a doubt that the accused are guilty of the crimes with which they are charged? I am vehemently opposed to people who commit these crimes spending the rest of their lives in prison costing the taxpayer money and bleeding the State. Death to beasts, terrorists and murderers.
