Punished by death

What crimes do you think are fit for the death penalty?

What crimes do you think are not fit for the death penalty?

I don't believe in the death penality. There have been too many innocent people put to death for crimes they did not commit. There are prisioners sitting on death row right now for crimes they also did not commit. Not to mention that it's costs tax payers much for an execution than it does to let them rot in jail.

 

[fiona1964]

I don't believe in the death penalty as there is a chance that the wrong person is put to death

it would be better sending the person to prison for life as that way if they prove they did not do the crime then they can be freed but if they have been put to death you can`t give them their life back

 

[Naiwen]

I think that killing anyone is passible for death penalty, even if it's an accident. Others, I dunno.

Female Genital Mutilation, Female Circumcision

Incorrectly referred to as Female Circumcision the barbaric practice includes the removal of the exterior Female sex Organs of girls ranging in age from birth to their first Menstrual period. The conditions are often filthy, resulting in death from massive infections or uncontrolled bleeding, or horrible scarring if the girl lives. In either case, she will never fully enjoy sex for the rest of her life, which is the admitted purpose of the procedure in most of these cultures. What is worse, it is usually the women of the family, tribe, Mosque or village which insist the girl be cut.



The practice is common in many Afrikan countries, 60% of the girls born on the continent are still being cut, as well as numerous other Islamic regions although it has spread with both populations to Western countries and is now being done in the US and the UK where it is illegal. In spite of its prevalence in Afrika, most Black Activists in the USA ignore the issue including the majority of our celebrity spokesmen (Jesse and Al included) who also ignore the ongoing slavery of black Christians by black Muslims in several Afrikan countries.



The practice HAS NOTHING to do with Islam, it is not mandated by either the Prophet or the Qua'ran, and is not required by anything other than a tradition which serves no purpose other than to harm women.



The male equivalent would not be the traditional removal of the foreskin but would more accurately be represented by the amputation of approximately half of the length of the penis. Leaving enough to be technically functional but removing most of the enjoyment of the sex act for the man. See: Emasculate. Compare: Subincision.



The clitoris can now be surgically rebuilt for most women who have been cut with some good success.

If there was a way to prove without doubt the guilt of someone then yes I would highly approve of it. So if that was true and there was a way to prove guilt without a doubt then, I believe in the death penalty should be used when it comes to rape, murder, or torture of people or animals. If you steal something of someones you should have your hand cut off. If you steal again your other hand. (This would not apply to children obviously because they steal things all the time without realizing just what they're doing, so all the rules above would apply only to adults 22 and older because you know better. But the age would be overlooked if they raped or killed or tortured someone...)

I think that killing anyone is passible for death penalty, even if it's an accident. Others, I dunno.

Even if it's an accident!?



So if you go driving in the next week and your breaks go out and your car hits another on the road killing it's driver you think it's ok for them to give you the death penalty?

I study this and found out it costs the tax payer more to keep some one death row than keep then in jail for life as it works out 5 times more cash to have some one on death row than life in jail as the man getting the death penalty has a cell to him self more staff caring for him plus they can keep appealing write up to the last minute which the tax payer has to pay for

Also a Judge from the USA had said the Death Penalty was a experiment gone wrong as

he explained you take 2 men who have comment the same crime only different one is black and one is white there is more chance the black man will get the death penalty while the white man gets life which he thinks is wrong

 

[Kahnai]

Well if it costs more then i would (adding on to my last post) put them to death immediatly upon being found guilty. That would save tons of money. That idea (of course) is still bias upon the fact that there would need to be something in place to prove beyond shadow of a doubt their guilt. I would hate to see someone who is innocent get executed...

I agree with that list, it's a good start. But, I don't think the killer needs to have killed more than one person to end up on death row. If my cousin's killer is ever caught, I'd want him put down no matter if she was his only victim or not. BTW, I was pro-death penalty even before she was murdered; now even more so.



As they teach in criminal justice classes, the most heinous crimes deserve the most heinous punishment. In fact, in most death penalty cases, the manner of death is much kinder to the killer than he afforded his victim(s).

 

[Kasynlie]

The death penalty should only be used in serious cases of crimes against humanity AND where there is absolute, definitive proof that the accused is the offender.

 

[DrLeftover]

You mean you don't think the killer should be able to lay up in their cell and watch TV and have free medical and dental care, free education, free counseling, free clothing, and even free mental health counseling, and be able to practice the religion of their choice, and play on the basketball team for the next fifty years or so at taxpayer expense?

 

[Kasynlie]

Is that sarcasm? I don't see your point.

I fully agree with you, a lot of innocent people die for crimes they didn't commit.



But also I think that if they have 100% evidence and a trusted witness then I think that they do deserve to die, because honestly if someone were to kill anyone of my family members or friends I would want revenge, however I would still need 100% evidence that it was that person.

I agree with you too. Without difinitive proof they shouldn't be allowed to give someone a death penalty.
