The death penalty is impractical & inefficient.

Post by tmac »

An African American man who spent nearly 40 years behind bars in the US state of Ohio for a murder he did not commit will receive $1 million from the state for his wrongful imprisonment.
According to a study released in April, one in every 25 death row inmates in the United States is innocent. Approximately 3,000 US prisoners are waiting to be put to death.

It has been proven time & time again that the death penalty is extremely flawed.

How many millions innocent people have been wrongly executed throughout history. No sane, rational, intelligent person today can still be supportive of such a flawed system like the death penalty.

What you're talking about is miscarriages of justice which can and has happened with the liberal alternative "life sentence" too ..so does that mean we should be anti life sentence too?

I believe in the death penalty for certain crimes - like murder. The same could be said for those serving, how many millions have been thrown into prison and ended up languishing there for a lifetime? and in many prisons around the world it's a worse deal than death itself.
the system isnt perfect, nothing is really black and white, you have to accept these imperfections to accept it for the greater good. Such is life.

And save tax payer money right. First time I agree with you. If someone kills someone else, they should pay the ultimate price.

That's why I like Saudi Arabia, the US and China.

Terrible argument.

Life imprisonment can be rectified and the person can be compensated. As bad as the wrongful conviction was, they at least didn't kill him. Death penalty cannot be rectified. A dead person cannot be revived.

Unless you think some innocent people getting killed by the state in the process of killing guilty people is perfectly fine, then you should be opposing the death penalty .

Many death row inmates have been exenorated but you don't care, you'd still have killed them because the system convicted them. :snoop:

As for KSA. LOL.

The death penalty is a blessing for some places.

Especially for mob justice like the killing of that mentally ill Afghani woman killed like a dog....or those in Africa who burn a humane being...or paedophiles that prey on kids.

Those who think they can walk into a church/mosque and gun down the whole congregation.

those who incite others to commit violent acts.

as well as women who have abortion.

Innocent people get killed everyday b besides most cases involve eye witness if the court fines the eyewitness was lying about the person that got killed we can also kill the eyewitness for lying eye for an eye :geek:

Innocent people being found guilty in a fair trial is highly abnormal.

Most people on death row, would rather exit this world than sit in prison or box for the rest of their natural life.

death is final. life sentences can be overturned. the problem with the death penalty is that 1 innocent life being WRONGLY executed is not worth executing 1 million guilty murders. are people really this blood thirsty that they'd be willing to sacrife innocent people so that we can get our pound of meat with executing guilty people?

I personally care more about making sure INNOCENT people don't get executed than the satisfication or blood lust of having guilty people be killed.
