So in order for society to show how repulsed we are by people who don't respect the sanctity of life we choose to kill them...

Well thought out plan..

I oppose the death penalty because as a Christian I believe that everyone has the right to repent for their sins and attempt to make amendments for their crimes and mistakes. Man does not have the right to end man's life and doing so removes the chance for repentance.

No offence meant ,just an opinion , so if someone killed members of your family ,and you knew they were as guilty as hell,then shouldnt it be a life for a life.

i know the damage people can cause to others and that society would be better off without them, which is why we lock them up.

but to kill them, no it's not right. if we justify killing anyone then we become like them, they justified along the line that it would be ok to take a child and abuse it and kill it. i don't want to feel ok with actions like this forming in my own head, not about kids obviously but about anyone who violates others rights to live in peace.

idk how we stop them from harming others before the act but this would be a better solution, i doubt this will ever happen anyway because psychopaths enjoy being sneaky and doing things that hurt others without getting caught.

i totally understand not feeling compassionate towards people like this, they probably don't deserve compassion because they're emotionally dead anyway and there's no cure for them. but to become like them is just as bad in my eyes, although i get why someone personally affected would want them dead.

There are worse punishments than death. So if someone hypothetically did hurt my family, death would feel like mercy to him.

Prison cells aren't cosy and you have to try and keep things calm because there are people working with these inmates, if you treat people like animals they will behave like animals.

Hmmmm tough one, we put animals to sleep every day by telling ourselves it's for the best, they are either ill or too dangerous to be allowed to continue living outside of a cage and it is seen to be the "humane" thing to do. But then if we were to put to sleep dangerous people who would otherwise have to remain caged for the rest of their natural life, we suddenly become "inhumane".

I think we tell ourselves whatever we need to hear in order to be able to sleep at night, but at the end of the day everything lives, everything dies, some in a more shitty way than others but there are worse things in life than death.

There is a big difference.

Animals do not consent to be caged. Criminals do - in the act of committing a crime.

And we put animals down when they are sick because they don't speak and we can't communicate to them why they are hurting. Have you ever tried to explain to a dog why they don't feel good? It's like trying to explain to a newborn. You can't.

I suspect it would make some men feel better about their masculinity. After all, 'real' men don't kill children. By cutting off his balls you are indicating that he is no longer a 'real' man with that symbolic gesture.

Capital punishment should be brought back for limited offences.

Didnt the bible say "an eye for an eye", therefore "god" backs it.

We euthanise animals so why not is it unaccaptable to euthanise people, be it a legally sanctioned punishment.

There's very rarely '100% proof'. Cases are proven when there is 'beyond reasonable doubt'. Sometimes '100% proof' cases have turned out to be wrong.

having spoken to older generation criminals through work, they all stated that Capital Punishment was a deterrent to going "tooled up" on a job as if they were "tooled up" they would have to be prepared to use the wepons and as such willing to forfeit their own life if they killed someone.

The sound of the Gallows trapdoors echoing around Bar-L (btw there is still a working gallows that is tested regularly) reminded them what waited them if they took someones life.

An 80 year old woman lived her life raised children raped and murdered in her own home does the purpatra deserve to live their lives

current scienfific procedures make unsafe convictions on capital cases something that would be unlikely to occur. Even some "posthumous pardon" cases have subsequently been found to have been safe convictions due to current DNA/evidence testing techniques.

There's no question to ponder in my mind.

We are a civilized society who believes that killing other humans is wrong. That means that we do not kill other humans.

Being part of a civilized society means rehabilitating people for their crimes against our society and giving them a second chance at life.

Imagine a parallel. Anyone who ever commits a crime has the 'eye for an eye' punishment used against them. If you are caught speeding in your car, you are never allowed to drive again. The roads would be alot clearer and safer. But it wouldn't be appropriate.

"having spoken to older generation criminals through work, they all stated that Capital Punishment was a deterrent to going "tooled up" on a job as if they were "tooled up" they would have to be prepared to use the wepons and as such willing to forfeit their own life if they killed someone.

The sound of the Gallows trapdoors echoing around Bar-L (btw there is still a working gallows that is tested regularly) reminded them what waited them if they took someones life."

The problem is, you can't prove if something is 100% proof. You never know. The only way to have 100% proof is if someone committed a crime in front of dozens of witnesses in an area with high resolution recording capabilities that *can not* be tampered with (impossible), with corroborating scientific evidence. I'd also want to know that the person had not been influenced by anybody else, was not in the slightest mentally ill, and was not being coerced.

scientific evidence can prove the accused was there as it is virtually impossible to have contact with someone and not leave trace DNA.

other scientific evidence can prove whether the accused was present at the time of the murder etc.

many of the miscarraiges mentioned before were down to flawed statistical calculations, or incompetent defence agents or "bent coppers", rather than actual scientific evidence.

There is a big difference.

Animals do not consent to be caged. Criminals do - in the act of committing a crime.

So by that reckoning we SHOULD put to sleep babies and non communicative disabled people because we can't explain pain to them? Does an explanation make it hurt less?

Criminals do not consent to being put in cages, they try their damndest not to be put in cages by not being caught, they might understand consequences of actions but that is not the same as consent.

Ashton Under Lyne

I absolutely agree with the OP - death penalty should be instigated.

The way I see it there are 3 facts

Fact #1 - any punishment (jail, capital etc.) is meant to be a deterrant. Not justice. Justice is when someone's stolen good are recovered and given back and the perpetrators are put behind bars. For murder, there can be no justice. Punishment there is to make sure others don't do it for fear of that punishment.

Fact #2 - by and large, countries that execute people AFTER A FAIR TRIAL for heinous crimes have the lowest rates of those crimes - murder, drug trafficking etc. Look at Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, UAE, Bahrain - these places have very little drugs, murders etc. Now there are countries like India and Pakistan that also have the death penalty but most people who get executed are poor people. That's the point - death penalty only works when trials are FAIR.

Fact #3 - we humans haven't evolved to the point where heinous crimes are outliers, rare happenings. Then we can ponder over "why" he/she did what he/she did and abolish the death penalty and try to "understand" why it happened and where he/she was "let down" by society. We're not there yet. There is too much inequality, injustice and stomping on people's rights that drive people to kill. The death penalty is a deterrent and has a place (with a fair trial being a requisite).

I would agree with you to a point but saying rehabilitating all killers is just ridiculous

Why is it ridiculous? Do you not believe that we should try to rehabilitate everyone? no because some people don't deserve to be helped

Why do you get to decide who 'deserves' help from society?"
I don't get to decide, you asked if I believed we should try to rehabilitate people and I said no I don't believe, nowhere in that comment did I say I should get to decide

"This is all part of the theory that the punishment should fit the crime. Whether you agree with capital punishment or not, I think most people can agree that the current justice system does not work."

70% of the time it works every time

I agree with it for repeat offenders - people who clearly aren't learning their lesson.

How would anyone feel if unfortunate enough to have a son or daughter or any loved one waiting on death row. Whatever they had done, I'd prefer them alive for sure. And like many in other countries I'd fight tooth and nail to have the penalty repealed for them.

"not mentally vulnerable, more brainwashed in their case

So if they were brainwashed, perhaps they need help and compassion in order to become functioning members of society, rather than being executed because someone else convinced them to commit a crime.

Man, some people would have had my hand cut off because my cousin told me to steal a penny sweet..."
lee rigsby killers didn't just commit a crime they brutally and savagely murdered a man doing nothing more than walking along a street then brazenly brandished their blood soaked weapons to everyone around them like a trophy. why would anyone want to show them compassion or even attempt to show them the error of their ways.

In this country we punish people by taking away their rights and incarcerating them.

We don't torture them, we don't kill them we don't maim them. To do these things would be hypocritical. We are after all supposed to be a civilised sociaty. You can tell that by the fact that we have laws against doing the above.

Prison isn't a nice place anyone that's actually visited one can testify to that.

A lot of people are getting punishment confused with retribution we don't do an eye for an eye.

So you think the likes of Ian Brady or Harold Shipman should be rehabilitate or even could be.

do you think what they did was the act of a normal person, beheading a random stranger in the street isn't the act of a sane person is it.

"All kiddie fiddlers should be tortured, dragged around the country for beatings and general humiliation before being dropped into a tank of dry cement until theirs lungs burn out.

Lethal injection would just be boring.

If anyone ever touched my kids I would do whatever I had to do to get to the person(s) responsible and serve my justice.

If it doesn't bother you then I'll point all the paedos in the direction of your family, friends and loved ones for their fun and games. "

And if that is your idea of justice (rather than pathetic macho crap) then you are part of the problem not the solution.

I really don't see how not being in favour of capital punishment or your form of torture in anyway equates to your response.

And the suggestion that my family and friends somehow deserve to be abused by paedophile because I disagree with you is vile and abhorrent

Compassion... no definitely not. But I think spending your life locked away for life knowing it's unlikely you will be free is a better punishment.

Ando, please guys I've heard all the unfounded stories about how luxurious it is in prison,

Some people can be fixed others can't. These individuals represent an ongoing danger to society that is why they will never be released

"I absolutely agree with the OP - death penalty should be instigated.

The way I see it there are 3 facts

Whew, too much of philosophical stuff, now back to sex !!"

Putting #fact in front of something doesn't make it a fact

Once your dead, your dead.

There is no punishment Iminvolved in that. The punishment ends when the life ends.

They are not lying in their graves for the next 50 years upset at what they are missing.

The only purpose the death penalty serves is a short term need for vengeance.

Love them up for life of need be. We should see more 100 year sentences rather than saying life and know if it means 15 years.
