Like In general, Do you believe that it should used at all? If yes, Do you think murder is the only crime that should be eligible for capital punishment?

not an effective deterrent
takes too long
costs too much
disproportionately used against minorities

that said, if one of mine were ruthlessly killed i'd rather be the one to off the murderer and then get pardoned for my actions. eye for an eye. :birdman:...:manny:

I support it but it's something that I wrestle with. I can definitely understand why it's needed but the fact that the state has killed innocent people is downright frightening.

That being said, I don't think it should only apply to murders. Anyone thats rapes/molests infants and children should be put to death. Anyone that holds a position of vested authority and abuses it at a severe detriment to the people under their responsibility should be put to death. A great example of the last sentence is that judge that put away all those kids while getting money from private juvenile facilities to do so. It would need to be hammered out in fine detail.

So you're for capital punishment as long as you're doing the punishing?

I don't agree with the notion that it costs too much...Keeping a sick fukk like the dude who imprisoned and raped those girls in Cleveland alive in a cell for the rest of his life will cost the tax payer much more money than frying the b*stard would...

For sure. There is not hope of rehabilitation and given the fact that not only did he rape those young girls, but caused blunt trauma to make them miscarry as well as keeping one his young daughter locked up her entire life definitely deserves death in my eyes. It's not even about deterring at that point, it's simply about a subhuman who isn't fit to live. Give him a fair trial and let the people decide of his guilt, then put his ass on death row.

I'm against it for reasons people have already mentioned -

-Not an effective deterrent
-More expensive to taxpayers than a life sentence
-Risk of putting innocent people to death
-Carried out in a discriminatory way (minorities get the death penalty more often than whites for the same crimes, poor get it more often than rich people, men more than women, etc.)

That said I can understand why people find some crimes heinous enough to warrant it.

No it doesn't. It's been clearly documented that putting someone on death row is more expensive than giving them a life sentence. Look it up if you don't believe me.

i like the idea of capital punishment, but it's poorly implemented for the reasons i mentioned earlier.

i have a serious problem with the disproportionate number of blacks and minorities on death row for similar crimes vs a white person. it reinforces the fact that the justice system values black lives less than whites. blacks and minorities are also more likely to be given the death penalty with a lower burden of proof.

i do believe some people do need to be deaded for their crimes and it shouldn't be limited to murder. some sexual assaults deserve it. some violent lifetime criminals and habitual linesteppers deserve it.

in terms of who gets to exact justice, yes, i'd prefer the option of doing it myself if i were directly impacted. it would give me a greater sense of closure knowing the person who took something from me had their existence ended by my hands. that's me though. i'm also the type of person that wouldn't call the police if someone broke into my house except to come clean up the mess. i know everyone isn't comfortable with that though.

"he who lives by the sword dies by the sword"

If you don't want to die don't kill people, you cannot expect to murder someone and continue to live among humans.

At that point you are beyond an animal and must be put down...

I all for the death penalty for murder. As long as the person is found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt got to go, got to go.

It would be a more effective deterrent if the punishment was handled swifter.

One of the worse laws ever.

Look at how disproportionate the death penalty is given out.

If you have some money your lawyer will get you out of the death penalty

The poor minorities are the ones that always end up with the death penalty

The reason for the law is to deter future criminals from committing that same crime.

Its an utter failure

It cost more to give somebody the death penalty than life in jail.

For the simple fact that there is a chance that you could be killing an innocent person.... Makes it hard to believe this shyt is moral
