Capital Punishment

what do you think of the death penalty? you may state your beliefs here.

death is fine they kill 3 kid or something and they get to live out the rest of there life in a cell were if there a gang leader or any thing like that they live like kings i think its fine to give the death

well yeah i agree with you to an extent on that part, but what kind of message are we putting out there that the ultimate punishment for murder: is to be murdered. you see where i am going with this? i agree that they should not be given a second chance, but there are many many punishments out there that are far worse than death itself. mind you, i hate scott peterson for what he did to his wife and child (she was 8 mos pregnant and since the child was at a stage of development, where he could have survived outside of the womb, the was the second count of man-slaughter) but i do not agree with the death sentence. i believe that he should have been released to a cell of inmates doing a life sentence and happen to have kids of their own... they would have beat his ass every day and night until he died, or committed suicide. i think that the death penalty is nothing short of hypocritical because we are taking people convicted of murder, and then murdering them.

yea i agree whit that the death sencete is pain less and scott peterson deservs to die slowly i think is so sad

Nothing justify the killing. Nothing. If someone kills another person, doing the same but in the name of justice will make you even worse than the killer.

Well.....if someone is sentenced to death, it is because that someone deserved it.....but then again some people are innocents and they're sentenced to death too....so i would say yes to deah penalty....only to those who deserve it, unfortunaly justice is not equal to everbody and sometimes mistakes are made.....

like killing the president

i agree with you all btw...

but if you muder some one a reletive might murder you such as revenge and bring up a bigger problem and maybe a more worse death sentence

Michael Faye got his ass beat in singapore for vandalism.. that is something that we should have here in this country as opposed to the death penalty.. google him, and read all about it..

i wound like that MUCH Better than Death penalty They wound get what they devered

Here is an article about that guy who got his ass beat..

Singapore is a very strict country.. so strict that they do not allow porn, or chewing gum. Imagine what would have happened to Scott Peterson.. They should have given him a life sentence, and then sentenced him to 6 lashes from the cane every single day for the rest of his life.. <= that alone is a fate worse than death itself.

yea i like that idea

?!

NO GUM!

what about mints?

eh did fay die?

no he didnt

Yes...i like that idea too..........

Another reason i don't agree with the death penalty, is because it can also make the criminals into martyrs.. for example, take Zacarias Moussoui.. he tried to instill rage among the victim's families, as well as the jury.. he kept saying "kill me" "i want to be a martyr" and they gave him life in prison.. even though he was responsible for more than 3,000 deaths, (because he had prior knowledge of the attacks) i was satisfied with the verdict.. because he was not made a martyr.. i am not sure, but i think it was in the the bible that martyrs, become saints.. and so, i don't think that he is worthy of such a reward.
