Abolish the death penalty

[JguyMr]

if you dare take a life then you should die too. If someone were to kill me i'd want them dead.

[dmarshm0f0]

We should grab every conservative out there and waterboard them in hydrofluoric acid until they admit that the death penalty is wrong. Then get rid of them.

[Laxer1313]

Killing someone for killing someone.... That sounds like the intellect of a 5 year old playing video games. It is the simplest form of hipocracy. idk who rationalized this disgusting idea. And eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

[itekisan]

"Death penalty" is one of the worst crimes that exist on this planet. It is murdering after announcing to the victim they will be murdered and leaving no chance. In almost any regular murder, the victim is taken by surprise AND has at least a little theoretical chance of defense or a lucky incident saving them. "Death penalty" is the sickest ANTI legal institution. The principle of legal justice STRICTLY forbids to do WORSE as a "punishment". In fact it means worse a crime.

[VampiresBiteHard666]

fuck all these assholes who support the death penalty i say abolish the death penalty forever its murder alway will be murder i am against the death penalty and i am happy casey anthony is innocent and im glad her case is closed i will never support capital murder i will never support the death penalty

[AfthartosVideos]

They need to continue with the death penalty, but ONLY if there's NO doubt they're guilty.

[IceFried]

Thanks to the internet getting stoned to death means something completely different to me.

[vivicastar]

Yes...lets keep people like this alive, spending our tax dollars on meals for them while they watch TV in a little room all day...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but people die all across the globe for a lot of different reasons....some of them die for really messed up reasons...I bet you hypocrites don't have such a big bleeding fuckin' heart for them.

[hectorbolshevik]

@vivicastar: Exactly, in a little boxed room in the same place where they shit with inferior plumming on an uncomfortable foul mattress haunted by the fact that their crimes led them there rather than being free to live their lives, not to mention by those they've killed or harmed. I don't know about you, but if I was a criminal I'd rather be dead (free) of such a hell. The death penalty is liberation not punishment.

[jalahalabadstyle3]

Anyone who kills someone on purpose deserves to die, screw their rights and freedoms.

[DrkSerenity]

There is no death penalty in Turkey since 1984

[craigjonesslipknot5]

Some criminals say that they tried to commit the worst crime possible so they would get the death penalty instead of life in prison.

[JidDLeMNidDLe]

The fact that there are flaws in the judicial systems of other countries (and, of course, ours for that matter) doesn't change the fact that for those whom there is tons of evidence and unanimous testiomy implicating the convicted [murderer] of a heinous and vile act [of murder] against any human being, the death penalty shouldn't be out of the question. As for someone like Troy Anthony Davis, they should at the very least commute his sentence, since so much outside conflicted testimony exists.

[recyclecongress]

"Which method is the most humane/ acceptable"? NONE OF THEM! This ISN'T Old Testament times we live in today where "an eye for an eye" is acceptable. The only acceptable excuses for murder would be self defense and perhaps in war. Possibly even "mercy killings" like with terminally ill people. But what possible retribution could come from death sentences, where it is handled by the institutions instead of the FAMILIES participating in the execution of the murderer of their loved ones?

[CzechShooter]

I do support death penalty however I come from Europe where the voice of the people is totally ignored and all decisions are made internationally by non elected EU institutions and their pseudohumane, postmodern left wings attitudes...

[recyclecongress]

@CzechShooter Europe sounds just like what's going on here in the U.S! Non-elected instittions, postmodern left-wing attitudes, the voices of the people IGNORED!!

[onepoundpull]

Innocent people getting executed is NOT the fault of the death penalty. It is the fault of ineffective police investigative work. There is the crime! That's what needs changing! Keep this in perspective.

Prison is NOT a deterrent to crime...overcrowding proves that. What's your solution?...more and bigger prisons? Wow...kill someone and get clothed, housed and fed for the rest of your life...yea...that's a deterrent.

Get real...

[irishgodfatherchris]

@onepoundpull please look up Ronald Ryan and you'll find out why Australia is abolitionist.

[onepoundpull]

@irishgodfatherchris.....Austr­alia also doesn't have the % of crime problems that the US does. And, IF, Ryan was innocent, the death penalty didn't kill him, faulty investigations did. That's why we need civilian investigations. Paid professionals without a personal agenda. The death penalty is still the best deterrent, you don't abolish it because your investigative system is flawed. You fix the system.

[nurbsenvi]

Why not use helium?

[VampiresBiteHard666]

there NOT ACCEPTABLE

[KarmaTimesTen]

This whole issue boils down to one overriding question:

Who do we, as a society, want to protect? The lives of America's innocent girls and women? Or the lives of the preditor/scum who see the country's most innocent and vulnerable as nothing but easy prey?

[carlairving]

@KarmaTimesTen Wait a minute... Is this not the reason we have jails? Also, think at how many people's innoncence was proved after they got killed by the state.

[KarmaTimesTen]

@carlairving

A healthy penal system is designed with one, overriding purpose in mind: The prevention of crime -- the real-time protection of innocent people.

To be effective as a message, as a deterrent, as a means of crime prevention, the severity of any sentence needs to approach, within reason, the severity of the crime.

[KarmaTimesTen]

@carlairving

This is why a murderer's life has value ONLY in its execution. Please hit the 'all comments' link and read my earlier posts. Studies have demonstrated this one simple pattern: On average, for each execution carried out, 18 innocent lives are saved.

In other words, each time a murderer's life is spared, 18 innocent people will die in his place. ...And that's compassion?

[JohnDoe2089]

There's nothing to gain from an execution except a person believing he's getting revenge. Innocent or guilty a simple life sentence would just be better for the first reason that in due time new evidence will come up showing the wrongfully convicted is innocent and freed alive and the truly guilty to suffer a whole life thinking about what they done before facing the ultimate trial before God.

[KarmaTimesTen]

@JohnDoe2089

You wrote:

"There's nothing to gain from an execution except a person believing he's getting revenge."

Unfortunately, the innocent girl is dead. So relax, there's no risk of her "getting revenge".

Oh, but are you saying that the surviving members of her family might actually want justice from their state's system of justice? How shameful.

[KarmaTimesTen]

Charles Manson lives on, and he now gloats over his unbelievably brutal murders. One of his thugs was heard bragging about how they all laughed when Sharon Tate begged for the life of her unborn baby. The infecting impact of such people on a prison population alone is impossible to calculate.

[KarmaTimesTen]

A murderer's life has value only if it can be used to prevent others from making his same mistake of bringing great suffering and death to innocent people. This is why capital punishment is critical to any effective penal system.

[KarmaTimesTen]

@Diphenhydramine94

Inherently speaking, yes, every life has value. America was founded on the belief that human rights are "endowed by our Creator". So by constitutional law, at least, human value is something built-in, beyond argument.

In practical application, however, no one's life has absolute value. The lives of innocent people have far more value than the lives of any scum who would treat them like prey. But then, does anybody really have to say that...?

[KarmaTimesTen]

Picture a woman held captive inside her home. A SWAT team forms outside and one of its marksman has a clear shot at the intruder's head. Should he take it? Or does that would-be rapist/murderer's life really have as much value as the life of his innocent prey? The very question is insane, revolting beyond words.

[KarmaTimesTen]

In America, the death penalty saves innocent lives. One study concluded that, on average, 17 lives were saved for each execution carried out. In fact, the sooner an execution is carried out, the more innocent lives are save.

[KarmaTimesTen]

Correction: For each murderer executed, an average of 18 lives are saved.

[JohnDoe2089]

@KarmaTimesTen that's not really the question here killing a person who is threatning a life is a rightful action but killing someone who could possibly be innocent and also has no way to escape.

[campeao005]

@KarmaTimesTen Harming someone because you can stop them from inflicting harm is an entirely different situation than punishing someone after they've committed a crime (ie. self-defense vs punishment and penalties).

Please, no straw man arguments.

[KarmaTimesTen]

@campeao005

In fact, a single execution will save many innocent lives. And the sooner the sentence is carried out, the more lives it will save.

[VampiresBiteHard666]

@KarmaTimesTen WRONG WRONG WRONG YOUR A FUCKING PARACITE

[KarmaTimesTen]

This issue is not about compassion, it is about prevention. It is about the protection of innocent people from unimaginable suffering and death. It is about saving a victim's family from having to endlessly re-imagine what their loved one was put through.

Whether anyone likes it or not, there are large and growing numbers of utterly lawless elements -- people who cannot comprehend forgiveness or compassion, who see in any such expression only weakness, the mark of an easy prey.

[wisespaniard]

i am sick of this society that kills people in the name of justice. No matter if someone has committed a murder, that doesn't mean he or she should be executed. What did Jesus said: Be merciful, love your enemies even when they hate you. And what about Gandhi, an eye for an eye makes the world blind. It is laughable that a nation like the US that calls themselves a Christian nation participates in type of horror activity, if you wanna live by Jesus principles, then stop fucking killing.

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

Eye for an eye is a laughable argument. A very small percentage of the people are convicted of capital murder while their victims have already had their 'eye' spoken for. The convicted capital murderers losing an'eye' is an unremarkable event..

[DeathWatchStardoll]

We completely oppose the death penalty here at Death Watch; SD. We are an organization comprised mainly of very young people (our co-directors are aged only 16 and 19) and we fully support everything Amnesty International does.

The death penalty is so inhumane that even people as young as us are prepared to actively work towards its abolition. The advocates should perhaps learn something from that.

[animeosi]

meh human are driven by war and violence..

it is only education that will better us all.

Love one another don't hate,peace

-John

[Diffmania]

To all you advocates of the Death Penalty. Let me ask you this one simple question. How many innocent people formerly on death row do you think support the death penalty?

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

@Diffmania how many guilty on death row support it??

[Diffmania]

@HOUSEOFFOURDOORS Thanks for stating the obvious and completely missing my point. Everyone who supports the death penalty is innocent of wrongdoing. That is until they themselves are framed and sentenced. If it was you that was innocent on death row would you be able to support it then? And as for the guilty, yes they're evil bastards, but if we kill them then we are no better then they are. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. As far as they go, let them rot in prison for life.

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

the exception rules in your world I guess. Does that hold true with regards to parole?? Paroled murderers kill at a rate of 1.2%. So do you support the notion of the state halting all parole of murderers?

[brandnutopian]

Your statistic on homicide recidivism only points to another even more troubling problem - prisons themselves, specifically U.S. prisons, which are just training grounds for criminals to become better criminals.

Though our incarceration rate is the HIGHEST IN THE WORLD (our prisons hold 25% of the world's incarcerated or nearly 2.5 million) our homicide rate is still among the highest in the industrialized world. It seems evident that just imprisoning people isn't the answer.

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

So if I understand your position, a recidivistic paroled murderer can blame his/her most recent murder on the system. Seems all the more reason suspend granting parole to murderers. Do you find the murderers responsible for their first murder?

All the best..

[brandnutopian]

You understand very little, apparently, and nothing of what I wrote.

What do you make of the FACT that the top 14 states in terms of state executions, have the highest homicide rates in America? The death penalty is not a deterrent. Education and rehabilitation is the answer.

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

Very funny. Thanks.. I do not join the argument that  Capital Punishment is/not a deterrent. The argument is trivial. May I ask you to supply the names of the 14 states and the time frame associated with your claim? Thanks again..

Cheers.......

[RobertCornhole]

I absolutely support the death penalty. You can't deny there are people out there, evil bastards, who deserve to die. Why would you sympathize with them over the victims who deserve justice?

[mereaykido]

Death is not justice, so death of alleged criminal for the victims would be personal revenged... for you, I don't know... self rightiosness?

[RobertCornhole]

What do you mean death is not justice? There's no better justice for a killer.

[mereaykido]

revenge since the dead person is not brought back by the death of the criminal this is not just. Sorry for having opinion that is different from yours.

[RobertCornhole]

That doesn't make any sense. We're not capable of bringing people back from the dead. By your definition nothing we could do in the situation would be just.

[KarmaTimesTen]

Unless they're deranged, nobody 'likes' the death penalty. Unfortunately enough, however, every society will inevitably have to do what it hates to do for the sake of a greater good.

Though there are exceptions to every rule, a murderer forfeits his own life by the taking of another. And the USA nowadays,

only the cruelest murderers, people guilty of unspeakable horrors, are sentenced to death.

[xoxumeh]

Which studies? Could you be so kind to let us know the source of your statement?

[KarmaTimesTen]

In a study of 3,000 counties from 1977 to 1996, Emory U. Profs. Dezhbakhsh, Rubin and Shepherd found that each execution, on average, results in 18 fewer murders.

That same study discovered something else: When a state suspends its death penalty, its murder rate rises.

Would-be murderers, like everybody else, weigh the costs and the benefits of what they're about to do. And if the cost of killing someone is too high, they won't do it.

But then, hmm, do we really need a study to tell us that?

[xoxumeh]

@KarmaTimesTen Mmmm It seems quite difficult to conduct a research in 3,000 countries when this world have only 192 (Should we include Kosovo?) Furthermore, when quoting or citing a research it is advisable to write the complete reference, an untitled study and a list of some authors cannot suffice.

[KarmaTimesTen]

Counties, not countries. No problem, it's an easy mistake to make, especially if you're used to skimming. Just means you work fast.

Anyway, google those three names and you'll find tons about their study.

[Headhunter004]

@KarmaTimesTen

" And the USA nowadays,

only the cruelest murderers, people guilty of unspeakable horrors, are sentenced to death."

Replace "cruelest murderers, people guilty of unspeakable horrors" with "poorest defendants, ones of color, and ones living in SELECT counties, INCLUDING those who are really innocent" and this sentence is true.

[KarmaTimesTen]

@Headhunter004

Actually, I believe justice should be color-blind. Commit murder, get put to death. Exceptions only for women, never for men, and never for race.

As I mentioned earlier, the death penalty saves the lives of innocent people. Murderers forfeit their right to life, period.

Oh and as anyone who watches the news knows, many murders are horrific, putting innocent people, girls and women, through terror and torture, then death.

[shadowbobo8028]

disagreed

Capital punishment is necessary

this kind of thought only comes from people who have too good lives

[spktruth200]

Oh its unpatriotic to speak about the inhumane of your government Caretti? And no, I am not 29years old, I am way over 60, and for decades have worked for justice and fairness for most of those years. The eye for eye rant was not the words of Jesus, or God, in fact Jesus didnt write even one word in the Bible. The words were written by Hebrews who didnt believe in Jesus. Bible is scary, terrorization methods to keep the most uneducated, dumbed down scared to do anything they werent told to do.

[spktruth200]

The Innocents Project! Hundreds have been freed in the good ole USA, innocent people. If not for DNA they would have been put to death....and they were innocent just like Jesus Christ. Violence begets violence. War is the ultimate violence regardless of the reasons. No such thing as a Just War, Mr. Presidunce.

[spktruth200]

How bout all the "black sites" set up by the USA/CIA and international govrnments who use the worst possible inhumane tactics to extract information....often from innocents. Check out GITMO and how many have been let to...after they were brutally tortured! Every country that uses the death penalty on their own, have no problem killing innocents around the world.

[spktruth200]

Interesting how the freedoms of the freedom fighters and people on death row in the US are not mentioned. How bout Mumia Jamal? How bout the number of native americans locked up on bogus crimes. Lets clear the USA's house first.

[Catereti]

People prefer not to think of themselves (or their country) as the bad guys. It's much easier to convince people to want to abolish the death penalty when it's somebody else who's been doing it wrong.

[SirRunnerBean]

i'm sick of you conservative, bible-worshiping idiots who think an eye for an eye is the only way human's should behave.

[Catereti]

Correction: bible-worshiping idiots who have only read part of the bible.

Matt 5:38-39 (KJV)

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, cturn to him the other also."

That was Jesus speaking by the way.

[Supernova310]

Anyone who goes against exterminating anyone who holds society back should be exterminated themselves

[mickindanny]

My God, how can anyone think this is okay.

[akhs1994]

The death penalty is downright MURDER, no matter what. And executing people is no proper punishment or sign of civilisation. Humanity is lost in this sadist world.

But this doesn't mean that we all have to be the same.

Just think you could have been in those people's place and they could be sitting at yours thinking that you deserved that, just like you were doing when watching this.

Would you still have the same thoughts about it as you do now?

Would you think that you deserved this?

[NecroticDeath]

Fuck this video, Not only should theyre be a death penalty but there should be levels of torturous death, Lets say someone rapes and kills your entire familly I guarentee you, You would want him dead.

Some people simply do not deserve to die. This video makes It seem like they deserve empathy and humane treatment .

This video makes me sick, If you agree with It your an imbecile and quite frankely deserve to die.

[bigrob1051]

some of us value human life over retribution. whereas you think anyone who doesn't share your opinion should be killed. describe to us again who is the immoral person here

[FacelessOnlooker]

Any country that alows the death penalty is primitive, cruel and unforgivening. Does any not know the words "an eye for any eye makes the whole world blind".

[soskid]

Any countrys level of civilisation can be meassured by the way it treats its criminals.

Most primitive of all is to kill them.

The highest level is to rehabilitate them. The main argument against death penalties of any kind is that It's ireversable.

Prisoners are being released all the time all over the world, due to new evidence proving their innosence. Not possible if the state has killed them.

[nathaniellara]

wow so b.cuz of the 95% accuracy from the U.S. you justify the country...wow..i cant belief this....so what about the 5% being mistakenly killed...who cares about them right...imagine you being that statistic....Thou shall not kill!

[mdhelm09]

Notice they never point to he United States. Again, foreign countries have almost a total difference in the sentencing of criminals. Thats why you might agree with this video. However, in the US, our justice system had 95% accuarcy.

[mereaykido]

How come in the country where abortion is deemed to be a murder, execution is not?

[appdavidle]

Because unborn babies have never raped and murdered anyone just for the fun of it. Nor would they do it again if given half a chance.

[mereaykido]

So killing criminals is not murder, but termination of unwanted pregnancy is? Don't you think if 2 week old fetus is human being a living person would be a human to?

Or you propose to sentence criminals to death on premises of how much fun was held during the killings?

[appdavidle]

No. Both are humans. Neither case has anything to do with fun. Only hurt. The diffrence as i see it is babies are the most innocent of all, and those preposed to be executed are the most guilty and dangerous of all. I cannot even believe this comparison is even being made.

[mereaykido]

Your notion of human fetus as a baby and babies innocence are rooted in Christian dogma. Religion should not affect the court of law. If you believe otherwise, look up Sharia.

My opinion is if abortion is murder then so is execution, necessary evil maybe, but still murder. We cannot choose where to show mercy and what life to put above the others. If all life is precious, then lives of Son of Sam and Mother Theresa are equally important.

[appdavidle]

I am slowly beginning to understand your point but just have to disagree somewhat. My notion that a baby, though still in the mothers womb, is still a baby and is innocent, is based on good common since. I feel your view that the baby is just a fetus is based on flawed science.

I guess your point that both abortion and execution are murder is flawed as well. By definition, neither are considered murder. They are both now lawful.

[NecroticDeath]

Lets say a 12 year old child is raped. So she has to throw away her life to give a fetus a shot at life. Thats idiotcy.

[carlairving]

@appdavidle nor did rape victim, or those whose pregnancy is life threatening (for example, because of like of hygiene, or because of previous health condition)...

[ANYONE3041937kyc]

@appdavidle An unborn is not a full human until it reaches a certain stage! It doesn't think it doesn't have a personality in the first months! It still belongs to the mother as a part of her body!

[Catereti]

In any specific country there are many differing viewpoints and opinions.

[N2thedrink]

In the US- I believe we should increase the use of the death penalty, with substantial evidence.

As far as wrongful conviction the solution is simple.

ANY coercion or FORCED statements should be met with EQUAL penalties.

But that won't happen will it? Nobody will agree that a law enforcement officer should get the Death Penalty for breaking the law. Although it would SOLVE the problem.

[amoeba527]

All of you crybabies that are saying " what if an innocent person is killed accidentally", well oh well. I'd rather know that we lost a potential criminal. Innocent people die in other unfair ways everyday, but no one really cares about that. If there is a good amount substantial evidence, then off with them.

[26natasha26]

Anyone who's against the death penalty clearly has not been the victim of,or known someone who was the victim of a hanus crime.

The more brutal thier crime is,the more brutal their punishment will be.Why the hell should we be sympathetic to these people?

This video was trying to make people feel bad for these people getting killed, saying it took 5 hours for one criminal to die,like I'm supposed to feel bad for him or something.Well what about his victim?How long did it take for them to die?

[CaptainFeigh]

I am highly against the death penalty for a long list of reasons.

[MarcTheScapeGoat]

In the state of texas the government organizes and allows vigilante groups to psychologicaly torture and coerce confessions from innocent people. The death penalty should be abolished anywhere that the government is proven to be corrupt.

[simoncowellscores]

I might add to my comment below that I think anti-death penalty advocates hearts are in the right place, but I think they have an immature and illogical view of life. This is another political fad, like gun control & feminism, that is rooted in flawed logic and is ultimately self destructive. In Japan & England, gun control has increased crimes using knives, explosive devices, and even gun crime. In Vermont, no permit is required to carry a concealed weapon, yet they have the lowest crime rate.

[klaig]

And Switzerland is one of the safest nations in the world and every male at least the age of twenty is required to carry a gun.

[mereaykido]

Have you been to Switzerland? I was to carry gun in public you have, absolutely have to have permit. It is quiet different from your statement " every male at least the age of twenty is required to carry a gun." Wha? You have not been to Swiss, you would know they are anal with their rules and regulations. Everyone follows them and not to do so considered a bad tone, like being gay in Texas.

[klaig]

Until you learn how to speak the English language properly, please do not attempt to insult me.

[mereaykido]

Ha hahahaha! you speak of " the" English of Texas, America? Whateva. However, no "male at least 20 of age" in Swiss is "required" to carry a gun. Stop hijacking youtube. Go to Swiss once in your live. Might improve your manners.

[simoncowellscores]

Anyone who's against abolishing the death penalty should read how parts of Italy are in such a state of terror right now from the mob that even with the military being used people are still openly gunned down. Italy doesn't have a death penalty so all the homocidal mobsters who are put in jail for life continue to run the mob from prison and parts of Italy are literally in chaos. Priests who condemn the mob's actions from the pulpit are having their heads blown off in broad daylight.

[AmnestyUSA]

Actually, the death penalty is far more expensive for taxpayers than a non-death sentence. For example, in Maryland death penalty cases cost 3 times more than non-death penalty cases, or $3 million for a single case. Find more facts about the death penalty at our website (above).

[taterville29]

The death penalty is the right choice for murder.Why should a murderer be allowed to live and a victim die and the murderer live.Why should taxpayers pay for upkeep of a piece of trash.

[Evil03Becca]

the video is totally right if it was one of your friends or family members or even you then you would be opposed to the death penalty. killing to try to keep people from killing is wrong and not logical at all. killing the person isnt going to solve anything its not going to bring the victim back its not going to help the families pain its just a totally irrational solution.

[FrontalTraction]

The chance that an innocent person will be killed is enough to justify abolishing the death penalty.

[klaig]

or perhaps increasing the standards by which a person is condemned. if they are being tried for a crime based on circumstantial evidence, then just leave them in prison. if the evidence is self explanatory and they admit to it themselves, knock 'em off. they do not deserve to be in prison, sucking up our tax dollars and they certainly don't deserve to have the free luxuries of good meals, tv, music, and other provisions that are readily available in prison.

[jdmikeg4]

What if the convicted criminal LIED in court, and FALESLY ADMITTED to committing the crime. That means the state executed the wrong person.

Abolish the death penalty. Life in prison is enough, let God be the true judge.

[klaig]

Anybody stupid enough to lie in the court of law about something as serious as that matter should be executed. It would rid the world of idiots.

[jdmikeg4]

you say that but guess what? it happens all the time.

[klaig]

Well I kind of regret saying that to be honest but answer me this question: why would you admit to it? yes, I understand that defendants undergo so much psychological pressure that many of them crack but there is still a matter of what in the hell could be going on that could make them admit to a capitol offense that they didn't commit. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY would someone admit to it if they knew that they would be jacked full of sodium pentathol? It doesn't make any sense.

[jdmikeg4]

some people would admit to a murder they didnt commit in order to cover up for another. some believe that living as a "rat" is worse than a death penalty. loyalty to another. when bank robbers get caught, they dont rat out their partners. thats the name of the game when it comes to crime.

[klaig]

But this isn't something like steeling money from a bank, this is taking another human life and putting your own on the line.

[Harlemlate]

That is very heartless & crual of you to say that is very evil of you to be horrorble to say things like this.

[klaig]

I had forgotten I had even said that.

With that being said, I was being rather condescending.

[amoeba527]

jdmikeg4 whats the point of putting them in prison for life? So they can live a hopelessly meaningless life in which they will cause riots among inmates and eat up our precious resources? Why should we have sympathy for these people. And im sure that almost never happens, and if it does that's just too bad. I'd rather know that our worlds worst criminals are in a place where they will hurt no one anymore

[jdmikeg4]

seems like you really know what your talking about, 19 year old.

[amoeba527]

Are you trying to get me on my age? Age doesn't teach people a damn thing these days.

[Catereti]

Oh and I'm sure you're just the fountain of wisdom, 29 year old. Ad Hominem=not cool. *disapproving face*

[dsutari]

I don't believe for a second any individual wants an outright ban of the death penalty, only a stricter process to determine what justifies receiving it.

Did Timothy Mcveigh not deserve death after the premeditated murders of 168 men, women, and children? Should war criminals simply spend life in prison after killing thousands or even millions?

[MelenHary]

Believe me. I oppose the death penalty. Murder is always wrong, especially when committed by a government.

[xodudeitsemily]

Very good, I agree.

[dethbed77]

you cant kill someone and then say to society...that killing is wrong...
