and they say not to bring back hanging

[sierrabravo]

It's really barbaric, but then again I think the whole system is barbaric, so ignore meeeee.

duly noted.

Let the widow choose what to do with the killer, it won't happen though because he'll get 10 years and be out in 6 for being good. Fucking pathetic.

Me? I'd feed him to some hungry dogs.

How would that make you any better than them and what practically would that solve?

I'm not in this debate to be fair or to say I'm better than any of them. I'm stating what I think should be done, my opinion. I will not think further on it as I know it will not ever happen. But it would rid the world of the ones going around doing the crap. Slowly yes, but it would weed them out instead of keeping them in jail where all us tax payers pay for them to watch tv, get an education, get decent food. They have it pretty decent in there. It isn't punishment enough for those who committe more severe crimes like murder.

Capital punishment has been around for years. Dont know if you've noticed but it does nothing to stop others murdering or have you got some stats to show us that the murder rate in the USA is going down?

No I don't know what the stats are. But who says that if we didn't get rid of the sick fuckers that it wouldn't? People would realize they won't get a free ride in that heavenly place called prison..they got a straight ticket to hell...or wherever they believe they will be going.

If you can tell I'm totally for the death penalty...no matter the way they do it. I'd just prefer the person go through what they put their victim through.

Oh and the reason capital punishment does nothing is because so many people just get thrown into jail...oooo big punishment there. NOT. It's rare that people are afraid of the death penalty anymore. It's just jail time to them. And what your basically saying is that the current system doesn't do any good either. So why not try something new that puts fear into people when it comes to committing a crime like murder.

I am 100% with ya. :thumbup

 

[All Else Failed]

i really think it should be thought about........another example of lawless britain

Man stabbed on way to visit newborn son - Yahoo! News UK

you're trying to justify murder because of murder

 

[Meirionnydd]

I have an excellent idea!

Maybe you should check.

If you checked you would see that the death penalty does nothing to deter or even reduce crime.

I have to say, some people here have some very warped and worrying views on how the criminal justice system should work.

 

[All Else Failed]

yeah so you're worse than the actual murderer if you want to do this.

lol what

Not only is that comment completely unintelligible, its also factually baseless and downright, well... stupid.

And what your basically saying is that the current system doesn't do any good either. So why not try something new that puts fear into people when it comes to committing a crime like murder.

Oh, so what you're saying is that the current system doesn't work, because crimes like murder are still being committed?

Well, crimes like murder will never ever stop, no-matter how strong the punishment. Its the certainty of the punishment, not the severity that is a more effective deterrent.

Yes, spending the rest of your life in prison is absolute bliss. If you think its so wonderful, why dont you commit some crime or own up to one so you can enjoy the rest of your life in this heavenly place?

Same thing for you thought Peter if you think it's hell how about you commit a crime and go sit in there. I do not believe that being able to get an education, having fun time (like playing cards, watching tv, working out, playing sports), and getting a decent meal is a not big punishment for some of the worlds murderers.

So aside from you calling others opinions stupid do you have something to add to the debate?

Like tell me how you know that the severety of a punishment doesn't matter when the world hasn't tried something like this?

 

[Meirionnydd]

Hey Mr smartass...who said I wanted to know.

Maybe you should take an interest in the topic your debating. Instead of coming in here and making uninformed and factually baseless statements.

If you'd go back and read my first post in this topic I said I wasn't here to argue why I feel the way I feel.

Maybe if you knew some facts about the subject, you might just have a different view altogether.

So instead of trying to tell people their views are warped or unintelligent how about you just type your opinions and leave it at that instead of taking it to be personal...mhm YUP. TY TY

I have put forth my opinion on this subject. I have based them on fact and my knowledge of the criminal justice system.

And, I have also put forth my opinion on your views. You have made no effort to look at simple facts before you state your opinion, and you even mention yourself that you have failed to take them into account.

That therefore, makes your views sound very unintelligent and warped.

Sorry to be so harsh. But I'm just being honest with you.

Being in jail just isn't about punishment you know.
