Death Sentences: Are they JUSTIFIED??

 So keep polling and be sure to drop in yer reasons...

I don't like the idea simply based on the fact that there have been several cases where an executed inmate has been proven innocent after thier death. I love america, but I don't have alot of faith in our judicial system. At least that is my stance in America.

I got mixed feelings about it. Some cases the person really deserves it but I think maybe they should kill them another way or some shit....like make a tv show and have people hunt them .....that would make for some weird and gross tv

death penalty's crap. give them life and let them suffer more.

[PinkTowelGirl]

I am prolife all the way.....

but on the other hand..... i can see why people would believe capital punishment is the way to go... there are many criminals that may never reform... yet there are some.. that might...


i personally would like to see this world become a better place.. but i realize that might never happen.. if we as one being cant... agree.....on most political beliefs...

it is hard to say....

i'm prolife in every circumstance. but i am every anti the cushy lifestyle prisoners appear to be getting these days.

death penalty's crap. give them life and let them suffer more.

yup.. only thing is.. they often spend all that time appealing again and again and again... at least thats the case in this country for some.

seems they often get let out just before death almost in sympathy

give them life and let them suffer more.

Yep

Killing them is the easy way out

And it costs the taxpayer more to execute them

Don't make them martyrs

Noone has the right to play God

give them life and let them suffer more.

Yep

Killing them is the easy way out

Don't make them martyrs

No one has the right to play God

And try to rehabilitate them as well.

Yes, death sentences in the U.S. are justified, i'm not sure about other countries because I don't know their legal system.  There are times in the u.s. though that the death sentence isn't justified, but they're killed anyways.  Nothing's perfect.

[Trauma-san]

After reading O's answer, I remembered that while I think the death penalty is often justified, it probably would be better to put them in hard labor like slaves until the day they died, profiting off their sweat.  I'm not being sarcastic, either.

murder is never right.

if some 1 ever did something seriously fucked up 2 my fam like rape my lil sister than u kno what imma take shit into my own hands an murder will be right

[Trauma-san]

^ Yeah, I agree.  "Murder is never right' but who the fuck said we're all right?  People have emotions, and people are vengeful, and the world isn't perfect.  To a murderer, there's no rationality, so who really gives a fuck if we treat them right or not?  The ONLY drawback I have against not just being gung-ho fuck the world is that sometimes mistakes are made, and murderers are actually innocent.  If it's a cut and dry case though, where it's obvious who did it, I say torture them, work them to death, and then kill them whenever they're of no use to us anymore.  

Perfect example: Susan Smith.  Murdered her two sons by drowning them in a lake in south carolina.  Kill her.  She deserves to die, she is no good to the world.  It's not going to do anybody good, it's not going to bring the kids back, but fuck her.  she doesn't deserve the grace of life.  

People say "Oh, but that makes you as bad as her!!! It's murder!!!" but fuck that.  In her case, she killed someone who didn't do anything.  She's done plenty to deserve to die, for some crimes, I just have little mercy.  Maybe that's not the best way to do it, but I'm not perfect, and that's how I think.
