Do you support the Death Penalty?

[Jblaze204]

This thread is an offshoot of a post I made in the just mercy film thread. If you haven't watched the movie yet you should (if you send me a PM i can hook you up).

How can a black person in this country be in support of the death penalty? In my opinion black people that believe the U.S. justice system can sentence a human being to death, haven't put much thought into this debate. I know there are people who commit heinous atrocious crimes but to sentence them to death gives the state (government) a power they should not have.

Its important to note that there are human beings that have been executed by the state that have strong cases for their innocence. And mind you the topic of racism in the justice system hasnt been put on the table.

My solution would be to sentence the inmates that have committed heinous, atrocious crimes to 23.5 hour lockdown. No books, writing, no window in the cell just a toilet. There was a segment on 60 minutes on how solitary confinement does damage on an inmate. Eventually all the idling will fry the brain.

Im biased because I grew up catholic but let's discuss

I don't. Some people certainly do deserve it like the Mass Shooters but I say no because the off chance somebody innocent is sentenced to death.

I would also support it in cases where its 100% certain someone committed the crime but just 70ish years again 100% certain meant a couple white people saying you did something

Only in cases where the offender is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt AND admits to the crime AND shows no remorse.

For instance.....

fukk him. Die.

Mothafukkas are gonna be inconsistent on this question.

Have NO problem killing babies via abortion, but get cold-feet frying pieces of shyt like this dude.

Let me pull the switch.

Small percentage of cases

The most heinous types

Its ionnecent brothas killed on deathrow who was wrongfully convicted of a crime.

There isn't a government on earth competant enough, and fair enough to execute a prosecutor or judge that presides over the death of an innocent man, so the answer for me is no.

Should be a special set of circumstances, including absolute certainty of guilt. The error factor with a jury, makes the death penalty subject to innocent people being executed.

When I was younger I couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t just kill murderers etc but now seeing how many bm that are freed after years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit or were framed for (maybe I’m wrong but it seems like it’s always bm that are falsely accused and released years later), I’m against it. Unless they get caught in the act.

I feel you. that terrorist is evil but I also feel good knowing that he has to wake up every day in a cell. Death can be an escape for these type of people. If I'm not mistaken the okc bomber was looking forward to his execution.

 

[CACarot]

Nah. I can't advocate for permanent solutions in a flawed and biased system. Too many people are innocent on death row. It only takes one innocent person on death row for it to be too many. Plus death sentence is just to appease the public and make us feel good.

Send this mufukka to Iran and let ISIS take care of him.​

I’m kinda on the fence.

I mean, what does it really accomplish with regard to punishment? To me, rotting in solitary confinement for life would be a hell of a lot more punishing than simply being killed and no longer existing. I mean, if you don’t exist, you don’t suffer...

 

[Savvir]

No way to guarantee EVERY convict is truly guilty....

No way to guarantee EVERY man put to death deserved it

life should be the max sentence

If without a shadow of a doubt they did it then yes.
