The Death Penalty

[KobeConfidence]

I'm not for the death penalty because the whole Idea of saying it's not okay to kill some1 and then going out and killing some1 is just stupid. In addition to that, it is much more expensive to put some1 to death vs. life in prison. The death penalty isn't a good deterrant either. People who murder people and stuff like that aren't normal. They kill people and don't care what may happen to them. I personally would rather be killed than spend the rest of my life in a small dirty cell.

[nenofalletta]

there was a man that was exicuted by a fireing squaud last year so they still use that

[GrandeRio01]

Most criminal would not be if the 'death penalty' be implemented. Problem is the deteriorated court system has been sold out. If these United States had this law in effect there would be less crime. Sure you'll still have some unjust cases but shouldn't be the reason not to have it in all states.

[Headhunter004]

"Statistically states with higher rates of executions have lower murder rates" not true at all, Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma are the top 3 states in the country with the highest rates of executions, and ranked in the top 20 states in murder rates in 2009, while most states with few or no executions ranked last.

Oh, and the "closure" argument is actually not true in practice; many victim's families have spoken about how painful the drawn out legal process is in capital punishment cases.

[dompap9]

American people are fat, ignorant and overall stupid... And I had cooped very well without an account at Youtube - as everyone else had....

[colecole0]

@dompap9  umm, who won the Olympics o yea the fat Americans

[dompap9]

Noone wants to be in the USA, still fattest - still stupidest country of the Earth...

[bthang1]

@dompap9 so you came on an american exacution video to say how much you dont like america......maybe your the ignorant one

[treezX]

@dompap9 stupidest is not a word =P

[dompap9]

STUPID AMERICAN IDIOTS! Your way of killing criminals, make me want to kill all Americans! You are a poor, fat and stupid nation - and you don't deserve to live!

[UrbanExploration1909]

@dompap9 America kicks ass and could rape your country at ANYTHING. We are the reason you have a Youtube account you little shit. Everyone wants to be here, just look at the number of legal immigrants. How many people wanna live in your shitty ass country where murderers can murder as many people as they want and not fear being put to death. And btw The usa is no longeer the fattest country.

[dompap9]

STUPID AMERICAN IDIOTS! Your way of killing criminals, make me want to kill all Americans! You are a poor, fat and stupid nation - and you don't derserve to live!

[215day]

@dompap9

You might be right, but you rant like a typical European, it shames me to be Norwegian, an European.

Oh hold on, it ACTUALLY shames me that my country is in Europe and I'm European, I'm sure as hell glad to be a viking with long blond beard and hair, raping women and killing people even if they are innocent for all I care.

Atleast, that is how a lot of Europeans and Americans stereotype us.

[Surpyful]

I think all criminals should be given the choice to die. Or carry out their sentences. At least give them a choice to die if they don't fit in and find no joy with society.

[215day]

@Surpyful

You are right, if the idiotic American government say they are "democracy" and "full freedom" a choice of "execution" should be made.

They have no social state, and it's liberal, so why not alteast make criminals DO their own wants? Stay and suffer, or die and be guilty (Bad one, even if he stays he's still guilty)

Love how a country they hate has more freedom which they can't even control than America.

[ZackAttack261]

it is morally wrong and illogical for a man that has murdered someone to live.

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 No, it is ethically and logically redundant for a state to violate a law and principle that it attempts to instil: It is wrong to take the life of another. If A state believes in a principle, it should always lead by example.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 you see you got it all wrong I believe that a INNOCENT MAN shouldn't die .

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 What about those who have been executed and later proven innocent? Clearly in your mind, its appropriate that a number of innocent be killed so a number of guilty can be extirpated.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 its less then 1% your more likely to die in a airplane crash then executed innocently

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 What?! What an inane, unbelievable and inaccurate comparison. Since 1973, over 130 people have been released from death rows throughout the country due to evidence of their wrongful convictions. In 2003 alone, 10 wrongfully convicted defendants were released from death row. And it is farcical to insinuate that that a destitute and powerless situation like an airplane crash carries similar subjugation as the conscious and premeditated execution of a "criminal" by the State.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 130 is not a lot pal .... ALOT more die from car crashes. I hope you realize I am not talking about everyone that is convicted I am talking about the chances of the every day man

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 You've just shown your ethics in clarity, and it's an ugly sight. Governments should never have the power to take the life of its citizens. 130 is a huge amount and the US justice system is too fallible to have the DP implemented.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 that is not a huge amount there 300000000 innocent u.s citizens so far and most people that murder dont even get the death penalty. 14180 civilians were killed in 2008 alone and the total executions were 1243 since 1976 and 130 of though's people you told me about didn't even get executed ... they were released!!!! .... and I believe the only one that should have power over there life is the victum

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 Well....that makes it ok then! Given the scale of deaths from other events, it makes it permissible to execute a few (even if they may be innocent). Unlike yourself, I try to view Humans with a level of individualism and believe that a Government should maintain the sanctity of life, lead by example and uphold the law, to the accused and victims alike.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 well unlike you I believe humans should have consequences for what they do and that the criminal should be punished justly ... and like i said i believe the victims family or friends should choose whether to let the criminal live or die and let the government do the rest

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 "well unlike you i believe humans should have consequences for what they do"......when did i suggest i desire the contrary? You have not demonstrated how ending the life a criminal who has failed the system is just, moral and effective. It's more expensive to kill someone, the system is fallible to error, such policies create a 'brutalisation effect' hence the reason why homicides increase after an execution.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 Its highly unlikely for a murderer to receive the death penalty and it shouldn't be more expensive why cant we hang people anymore that is probably the lest painfully more effective and cheap why

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 Because there were numerous accounts of decapitations and strangulations on those executed by hanging. Unlike you, I hold a great deal of pain for lives lost,whether victims or those accused. I have as much contempt to the notion of Governments having the licit power of taking the lives of citizens.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 hey asshole I know what its like to loose someone close okay. and unlike you it pains me to see a man live and even be treated like a king when he chops a entire family with a chain saw ... letting any man life for doing that is unjust and sad ... the best way to take care of killers is to kill them even publicly to show the people what is right and wrong

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 So if someone you love loses his or her life at the hands of another, the only just and moral act is to vengefully retract their life too? Why am I struggling not to see a circular and rather hypocritical set of logic here? "treated like kings"....what an absurd statement! Never mind the logical premises against the DP, never mind the ethics, let us just retain it for archaic tradition and barbarism!

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 capital punishment worked for thousands of years. no I want to see justice on a criminal not cruel and unusual punishment and death is not cruel and definitely not unusual ... and some people just need to be put down like Hitler ... do you want him to go to rehabilitation and ignore the the fact he killed 3million people

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 How do you define "worked"? What is your bearing of this so called success? Death is not cruel? So you'd happily watch your loved ones lose their lives, right? After all, death is not cruel and we should always concede to authority, no? DP advocates use the same old repetitively incoherent rebuttal; the worst case scenario.... "wouldn't you kill Hitler?!!"....we are not talking about dictators, we are talking of US Citizens, many of whom have been wrongly executed.

[ZackAttack261]

@raidon04 SIGH death isnt cruel as a punishment .... why do you contently take my words out of context and no one has a rough statistic on how any Innocent people died it could be less then ten for all we know . and if you believe the death penalty is wrong then why is it okay with dictators ?

[raidon04]

@ZackAttack261 No, but the process of dying can be seditious and immoral. Also, whether something is just is equally as important in deciding the ethics of an act as to that of cruelty. Also, bring pragmatic and deliberating all that coherent arguments either for or against the DP shouldn't be neglected. Up to now, you have neither presented a compelling argument in which the DP is ethically just, socially beneficial or indeed moral.

[dompap9]

Why we never love or like American stubid bastards in Europe

[champjb25]

@dompap9 why cant you spell stupid?

[AiryBlasters]

What is the name of song?

[bladesofthunder]

and rape and murder is okay??!!??? say that your little sister or brother or mother for that fact have been brutally murdered and raped (Heaven forbid)... I'd bet MY life you'd be whistling a different tune. I guarantee it!!

[bladesofthunder]

[reofan0309]

this movie greemiles?

[KarottennektarXD]

FUCK OFF !! I HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THAT BITSCHES!!

[KarottennektarXD]

FUCK OFF !!

[robi2000]

Jessican Lundsford's killer deserved the death penalty. Karly Brusha's killer deserves the death penalty.

Jose Medellin deserved and got the death penalty . Polly Klass's killer deserves the death penalty/

Danny Rolling deserved the death penalty. Immette st.Gienne's killer deserves the death penalty. Kill them all - they are scum . I would do much worse than the state does.

Easy to be antiDeathPenalty when you live in your bubble and have never had a family member murdered

[CZlaowai]

@robi2000 Actually, those who've had family members murdered are the ones in the bubble. That's why the US jury system is so strict. If a jury is being selected for a rape case, there's no way that a person who has any connection at all to a rape victim would be allowed. The same applies to murder.

When you say "live in your bubble", you're actually saying "are thinking clearly without bias and are solely focused on facts and the truth".

[robi2000]

@CZlaowai the facts and the truth often include emotions, justice and yes - even vengence and satisfaction. I'm quite ratioinal . But Execution is deserved for the loser who murdered Karly Brusha for example.

[ZackAttack261]

@robi2000 AMEN

[Lindner12ewald]

In romania no death penalty !

Live romania !

[Elohiemsghost]

Um, your wrong. Firing squad is still valid. In the next 2 weeks Utah is going to execute Ronnie Lee Gardner by firing squad.

[phillyeagles217]

you take a life with full intentions of taking that life

your life should be taken

that simple

[Kordian2244]

In my opinion the death penalty in the U.S. is hypocritical. In the name of human rights from Washington pseudodemokraci cause of the war and attack other juggling passwords Amnesty International, but this time in your yard killing the poor from the slums. In Russia, which is so criticized after the fall of the Soviet Union is a moratorium on the death penalty. And who is the hypocrite here? Rhetorical question: USA

[Axel54631]

People who wants death penalty are SADISTIC PSYCHOS who get boner of taking other humans only life.

Texas and Chicago should NOT treat people like lab rabbits!

[tikilover86]

i think they should like stab these scum if they done somthing to deserve the death penalty they deserve it

[Trooper1602]

at 2:17 this really gets me mad. " it violates the right to life" are yo userious? LIKE STRANGLING SOMEONE IN THE BED WHILE THEY SLEEP DOES'NT " VIOLATE THE RIGHT TO LIFE?" THE MURDERER DIDNT CARE ! so why should we be so worried about weather execution of a murderer is humane. compare it to how the victim died, then tell me you thoughts. In my opinion, if you murder somebody, and are sent to death row, You should have to die the same exact way that the vitim, or victim's did.

[holysaviour9]

some people cannot help what happens in their brains because they do not realise they have a problem until its to late

[mikaeladamo]

so what does the chair feellike

[colers26]

im kinda half and half here although im canadien but what if there innocent is the real issue to me.

[devenci]

They make sure now because there is many more ways to find who did what. I do support it for the people who have been known to kill. But now they don't use it much anymore until they are sure.
