Re: 10 Valid Reasons Why the Death Penalty Should be Abolished

[JungleNunuFtw]

A lot of you guys are acting like retards... he's just a kid. Not like he invested years of his life into research on the matter. Just shut the hell up. It's his right to voice his opinion - our constitution gaurontees that right. You're attacking him as if this was some important political campaign or propaganda intentionally made to change the law. It's not. I bet it's a project or something he had to do for school. Calm. The. Fuck. Down.

[ultradumbass]

fuck both you and the guy you're responding too are way off on this topic both for different reasons but since this is your video i'll focus on what you did wrong first, i am a canadian and study world laws and the stats show roughly 3% of americans sentenced every year are innocent, do the math. roughly 30,000 receive life sentences, most without parole (much longer than your 25 year sentence, got no idea where you got this from), this means 900-1,000 new lifers annually are in fact innocent.

[ultradumbass]

@ultradumbass then you need to take account of the fact that in texas alone 124 people were released in that state alone, in illinois so many people were found innocent, some already executed that they had to abolish it, until recently states like texas had to find a guilty person innocent within 30 days or the sentence was irreversible, or in other words, even if you were found innocent but more than 30 days has gone by, the court has no choice but to keep the original sentence imposed.

[GladForGladius]

Life in prison, at average is $500,000. DP or death penalty, is $3.5 million dollars. You're just a kid. You need to learn to get your facts and actually have a valid argument.

[thman1234]

@SamuraiX496 Tthey kill people as their punishment for the slaying they did to a horrable person, what if some one killed someone you loved?

[thman1234]

THing is dont kill someone so you wont find youself in their position.

[GladForGladius]

@thman1234 I don't know about that... Tons of innocent people are executed year round, and even proved innocent later.

[thman1234]

If you plan the entire slaying and kill of a innocent person, of a minnor, or anybody that you want to die, and you feel so glad that you did the crime, you may ask for forgiven by the man in the sky, butyou deserve to die, on way or another

[Toadeater]

You're stupid

[zbuck69]

very immature and not researched at all

[fotmusic]

Are you standing up...

[coraliefrom92]

Lol, no offense but this video was really stupid. "He did it first" is lame, immature excuse. Two wrongs don't make a right. Also, no death penalty does't mean no punishment. Religions don't allow murder either, yes. So what? Just because somebody did a wrong thing, does it mean we have the right to do it too? Your arguments are ridculous. The DP won't bring the victim back, it's expensive, it makes us guilty too, it promotes killing and IMO it belngs to the dark ages.

[pbjellyx]

the interesting thing about death penalty, is it actually doesn't go against every religion. Infact Christians support it, as written in the bible: “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."

just saying

[coraliefrom92]

@pbjellyx You're wrong. In the old testament that's what they said. In the new testament Jesus said "You have heard that it was said, Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.", "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." and "Do not repay anyone evil for evil".

[mikeyrobins022585]

Go screw yourself boy!!

[mikeyrobins022585]

I still don't agree with the death penalty, dude.

[Headhunter004]

1) Well, in NON-DP states, you are INFINITELY *LESS* likely to be executed at about a *0%* chance so then how come they don't have higher murder rates than states WITH the death penalty? 2) It costs each state $500,000 to incarcerate someone for life, whereas it costs them $2 mil to execute. 3) Poor people don't have the money to afford good enough counsel to prove it, first off, and secondly, many prosecutors unfairly seek death sentences with little or no regard for the FACTS of each case.

[Headhunter004]

(Cont'd)

9) If you're a murderer, you shouldn't need a good lawyer<--Common bloodthirsty death penalty supporter faulty logic in believing that EVERYONE, coming in to the trial is guilty of the crime they stand accused of. Sorry, but our legal system doesn't work that way. You're not guilty until proven innocent, you're innocent until proven guilty, and yes, innocent people DO get tried for crimes they didn't commit, contrary to popular belief, which is why FAIR trials are so important.

[ultradumbass]

@Headhunter004 why put someone for life? i sincerely doubt the person would actually be stupid enough to choose life over death if it came down to it, why do you think last year 365 italian lifers made a petition asking their president to bring back the death penalty so that they can be executed?

[tog890]

dumb shit

[SpiritoTempesta]

I kinda feel sorry for you. Do you REALLY know what you're talking about.

1:35, so two wrongs make a right? I'll remember that if i ever meet you in person :)

[SWAT518]

capital punishment costs more for tax payers than life in prison

poor people do not have the money for good enough lawyers to prove their innocence

good, don't try to argue that race doesn't play a role in this, clearly you are just too afraid to attempt to prove wrong what is undeniably right.

death penalty is murder... not that it matters because religion is a bunch of bullshit

[ctbadcop]

Where are this little bastards parents?

[klugegirl1961]

I can't even respond to that jibberish you spewed. Check you facts. Also take the hat off before you appear again so we can actually see you most of the time - and blow your nose. There was not one word of what you said that had any basis in fact or - in fact - had any basis in REALITY. Do you homework and let us know when you have checked back into reality.

[MitchEmzy]

i did a speech on this with the same facts and got an a+, what does that tell ya

[klugegirl1961]

Tells me that your teacher really likes you. Don't kid yourself that some middle or high school teacher actually CHECKED your facts. And 90%of the jibberish you spewed was purely subjective speculation. Don't waste your life. Come on over to the side now shared by most - nearly ALL - of the free world.

[SpiritoTempesta]

Nothing considering your age and you probably didn't have your facts checked.

[ShadowDraen]

@MitchEmzy That tells us that your teacher is a really idiot and cant see any facts.

[nightwraith666]

@MitchEmzy Just goes to show that you are smarter than whoever the grown black man (or woman) was that posted the video you're responding to. Just one clarification on a mistake made by each of you. The first poster was mistaken about religions being against the death penalty, The Abrahamic religions explicitly endorse capital punishment, mostly by stoning to death, a practice which is still allowed in Islamic countries. If Christianity and Judaism still had political power they'd do it to.

[nightwraith666]

@MitchEmzy Also, God mandates and endorses a lot of killing in the Bible, specifically of other Semitic tribes who don't worship the correct God, i.e. Yahweh. The Bible and the Koran are both bursting at the seems with killing, misogyny, and other irrational atrocities unworthy of our species.

[04mittald]

@MitchEmzy hey look the death penalty was only banned as inoccent people were killed so society feared that it could happen to them thats why is ebolished.

[MPOplusPSP]

brings up good points. should respect opinion of people. everybody should shut the fuck up.

[JIMMYGIBBERISH]

dude you are the dumbest mother fucker on youtube... GO TWINS!! joe mauer for heisman

[MitchEmzy]

wtf thats the wierdest comment ever

[MartyboyIV]

You silly little boy, get the fuck off!!

[brado32003]

SHIT...you are a dumbass with horrible come-backs too. Get off youtube.

[MitchEmzy]

my opinion shouldnt offend you this much and if it bothers you smartass i wont shut up

[free2rokk91]

Ok. About the part when you talk about how they would do anything to get out of prison... Uh, YOU WOULD TOO IF YOU WERE ABOUT TO DIE!!!!!

[MitchEmzy]

i know
