How do you feel about the death penalty?

[joebrook]

Personally, I'm against it. It doesn't seem to be an actual deterrent and you have to ask what is the acceptable rate of error for killing people? Not everyone executed is actually guilty. For me anything more than a margin of 0 isn't worth it.

That's why it's important that before the judgement is passed, there should be concrete proof that the person is guilty of the supposed crime. I will always support the death penalty but only when the evidence is irrevocable.

In the U.S. state of Arkansas for eleven days from 17 to 27 April - going execution of seven men sentenced to death. The reason for such haste is that at the end of the month expiration midazolam - medicines used for injections in the execution of the death penalty. Over the last ten years in Arkansas were not executed prisoners. The seven men were handed down death sentences in the period between 1990 and 2000, the years for murder, robbery and rape. Midazolam is one of the drugs used in the process of execution of a death sentence to the convicts fainted. In the US the use of this drug is considered controversial after 2014, one of the sentenced to death more than 40 minutes remained conscious after the injection of midazolam and died a painful death. European manufacturers of midazolam refuse to deliver to US an additional batch of the drug. Existing stocks will end shortly, so in Arkansas and hurry to execute the death penalty.

I honestly feel okay with it, as long as the crime commited is brutal and countless. Most of the people are aware of the death penalty and still hey choose to do crime, that’s because they still get a chance for a trial. Well, I say that criminals or killers who are caught on act doing something brutally, should be killed on sight.

If death penalty would implemented on my country then much better those killers,rapes will become less they don't afraid in jail that is why crimes is becoming more if this will be on my country then those bad people will think before they do a crime.

I support the death penalty. Any liberal laws lead to more crimes. Migrant crisis in Europe also proves it. Only the presence of weapons among the population is holding back a huge amount of crime in the United States. Here you have all the liberalism.

I support deaty penalty to those individuals proven to have committed heinious crimes like drug pushing and the use of it, rape, murder and even graft and corruption. If this is the way to mold people to fear the law, then it must be implemented.

From what I have seen, if the death penalty is abolished in a country, then the crime rate shoots up significantly. A perfect example for this is South Africa. When the ANC came to power, they abolished the capital punishment, saying that the apartheid government used it disproportionately against the blacks. Within the next 5 years, the murder rates increased by 5x.

Death penalty is one of controversial penalty in some country since its not regarding with human right.
But for me, death penalty is very good to handle such big crime.

[iyah09]

in my opinion i think its fair enough if you to take some else's life you should pay the same cost you have take responsibility for your action

[cr_liev]

Death penalty is something against humanity, but some murderers are really worth such a penalty. They mustn't exist on the Earth and sit in prisons consuming state money

I feel that there should be death penalty only when necessary. Let's say a criminal killed 1 to 3 people without any good reason, I think he or she should be forgiven, but if the person killed above the number of 3 people, not to mention the way they were killed like brutally, then death penalty should be implemented.

Death penalty is ok of and only if the legal system is perfect. If you know for a fact that the justice system will actually sentence the really guilty person then death penalty  is a viable deterrent for crime. Because the main loophole is that what if the suspect didn't do it and the person was killed for it then there is no more chance for retribution.

[wellni]

state sanctioned premeditated first degree killing of its citizens against their will is a horrible act, it's opposite to what the justice/correctional system is about, and it's contradictory morally in the sense that when you plan out a killing to teach killing is wrong, that's when you lose the power to claim premeditated killing is wrong. Death Penalty will eventually be wiped out and will forever remain a dark page in human history.

[abztabz]

death penalty is a serious topic, because this topic is in need a deep study, this kind of sentence is not easy to give to anyone. I believe if the person committed heinous crime he should punish by death penalty, but before that the persecutor must study the case of a person if he committed such crime and if it is proven or his guilty for such crime he should punish or sentence by death penalty. for me I'm agree to the death penaly but it depends on the liability of a crime.

[stevenheung]

i think no one have to deserve death penalty, god created us equally, so we dont have the right to judge them and kill them.

[cardinalVC]

I don't like it, but if governments will start putting them back then ignorance should be among the list to cover this penalty.

[siterug]

I support the death penalty. Keeping someone in jail for their entire life is expensive and unnecessary.

Death penalty is often not accepted by many because of religious beliefs. They think that no man deserves to die regardless of what sins they have committed. I think that is total ludicrous. In the first place, the crimes those people have committed range from rape, child molestation, and murder. Easy for others to say no death penalty, however, if they were to be placed in the victim's family's shoes, can they stick with their religious beliefs? I don't think so.

[ttbd]

Philosophically, I’m okay with the death penalty for murderers. But the problem is that society socially constructs the idea of murder in a way that puts poor people, once again, at a disadvantage.When poor people kill someone, it’s murder. When wealthy people kill someone, it’s called economic freedom or it’s the reality of war or it’s a competitive health industry. Nobody on food stamps has ever been in charge of corporate environmental destruction. People in line at the food bank aren’t the CEOs of companies caught knowingly selling dangerous and faulty products. Impoverished people don’t deny health insurance claims. Profit-motivated military excursions are not the brainchild of the homeless

Do not really want death penalty but for the good of the country? I will be in favor. It is difficult to live in a country where many criminals are freed and commit sin again. But would that be before death? they would have enough evidence to bear the death of the guilty. So for those who have the law you might abuse it. And let the others change because they repent of their sins.

Although God gave His commandments some still break all rules and laws of a country.Many are greedy and full of desires and lust they tend to commit such heinious crimes.So bring also much heavier punishment for their crimes.

[charmaine08]

I won't support death penalty but watching a news and sawing a rapist who rapped a 9 month old baby girl it makes me angry and thinking that rapists deserved to be die !! He have no conscience !!!
