Most interesting subject. I've spent a lot of time thinking about it, and quite honestly I still don't know if I'm am for or against the death penalty.
Sure it's kinda inhumane, it's sort of a going back to the "barbarian times", and also - and it happens - when there is a mistake in a court - an honest person may be sentenced to death penalty and if after years somebody finds out that he was actually not guilty - well in this case you cannot give him his freedom, can you?

But on the other hand - some people DO deserve the death penalty. Two guys rape a little girl (story from a great movie "A Time to Kill"). Do they deserve to just be in jail or to die? I say they ought to die.

Still as I said - I'm undecieded...The Death Penalty is a thick ice and it is very easy to go to extremes both ways.

Two guys rape a little girl. Let's look at the options if they get caught and convicted.

They have 3 options.


1. Jail for life. They are penned up for the rest of their life and will probably be anally violated on a weekly basis. Not very humane in my opinion.

2. Jail for a while and then let out. They are probably still raped in prison but then get out, hopefully rehabilitated... What about the girl they raped (if she is still alive)? What about her family? What message does that send?

3. Jail for a little while and then kill them with a painless needle in the arm. Seems like the most humane to me. It delivers justice and delivers the perpetrators from the pain and raping in jail...

let them get gang raped and beaten in jail, if they rape innocent children and woman they are scum.

Let them rot in prison for a couple of years then give them the needle. That way they will be punished by other criminals and then be dealt with by the state

That's my general thought as well.

I favor killing the criminal for two primary reasons: a) it sends a strong message to society and b) justice is served in the eyes of the victim.

The fact that it delivers the criminal from further pain is actually irrelevant to me but I recognize that it is a plus to the libs.

I would imagine that the pain of a heart attack is minor in comparison to prison gang rape or confinement for years on end.

why we would worry about the criminal is just stupid. they made their choice when they chose to murder/rape etc. innocent victims. If the needle does create a heart attack who cares.
