Death Penalty for or against?!


Question: Death Penalty for or against!?
Answers:
100% for!.!.!.if a close person to me was murdered why would I want their murderer to be allowed to sit in jail, write letters, visit their family, watch television, live daily life while my loved one was laying in a grave!?!!? And to those of you that say the bible is against capital punishment!.!.!.!.WRONG, reread the bible (if you have ever opened one in the first place or are just going by what others have told you) and it will clearly tell you that god believed in capital punishment!.


Genesis 4:11-15!.
"And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;!.!.!.a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth!. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold!. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him!."

Genesis 9:6:
"Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man!."

I have an ex boyfriend on Texas Death Row for murdering a police officer in late 2000, knowing him and caring about him does not change the fact he took someone’s father, husband, brother, son away from a family that loved him very much!. While he gets to sit on Death Row (which is no picnic) and fight his case, he has contact with all his friends and family while the deputies family will no longer get to hear his voice!.!.!.although it is a very sad situation for both families, don't do the crime if you can not do the time!.

Sorry so long but this is a very touchy subject with me!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i believe that those who do crimes for which they would recieve the death penalty now should be put into a horrible jail for around 20 years!. In this time, they should change sufficiently to be re-introduced into society!. Upon the date they are to be released, they will only be released if they are not deemed by phsycologists etc to be a danger!.

there should DEFINATELY be no death penalty for people who are not proven with 0% doubt!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Depends!.

If a 80 year old guy who's worked honestly all his life kills his wife of 50 years because she's had Alzheimer's for years and he's the only one taking care of her and he can't stand to see her suffer anymore, then no!.

On the other hand if some crackhead is into raping and murdering little old ladies for their Social Security Check, then maybe yes, as long as proper evidentiary procedure was followed!. There's many, many cases where people have been exonerated after serving decades for crimes thy did not commit!.

If some lunatic decides he wants to be a despot and gas several million people, then definitely yes!. The death penalty is an extreme measure that should be used in extreme circumstances!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

There's a saying "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"!. If that's correct, there would be a lot of blind, toothless people on this earth!.
People who are charged and convicted of horrendous crimes will have to stand accountable before God some day and His sentence will be worse than any death penalty they would be assigned on earth!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Sorry, this isn't a black and white issue for me!.!.!.!.!.there are a million shades of gray
lol and I'm sure you don't want me to write my dissertation here
I'll just say that on a philosophical level I am 100% against it
But on a practical level I can understand 45-70% of the arguments in favor of itWww@Enter-QA@Com

totally all for it when it and they need to add sex offenders to the list!. I think all sex offenders need to be put to death!. Once you've done somethings like murder or a sexual offense you are NO good to this rest of us any longer!. They need to also stop this 20 year wait to the death chamber too!. Give them 1 year to appeal and prove their innocent and if they can't!.!.!.then complete the sentence!. I know its cruel but I am tired of these type of people getting out of jail and doing the crimes again!. No second chances!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Against, if the whole world lived by an eye for an eye rule we'd all end up blind!.!.!.

I don't understand how some modern Western, as well as other '2nd world' countries still endorse this barbaric practise, it makes the government no better than the some of the people they are killing!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

4 if you stop and think about how much money it costs to feed, clothe this person for the rest of their life it wouldn't be much of a punishment!. Sorry but the people are denied their freedom but can get college educations, etc at our expense
guess all of us for it are getting the thumbs down lolWww@Enter-QA@Com

I'm not very religous, but I believe God is forgiving and there is a heaven!. I think those who commit horrible crimes should be left to rot in jail!. Jail is horrible--to me they deserve it!. Never seeing beyond the prision walls, never being able to choose meals, or go shopping or travel again!. I think that's a big punishment!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Against- It's not much of a punishment!. You just die, and don't have to deal with anything else!.

If you had to do hard labour and prison for the rest of your life instead, that would be better since they'll actually regret it!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Death penalty is a barbaric act and should be abolished at least in the civilized part of the world!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

against!. why should the low-life scumbag who did the crime get away with it!? a quick death means no justice!. the person should rot in jail for all i care!. he should live with the guilt of his crime!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Most definitely for (from ex prison officer)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Death penalty only for hardcore or professional killers
or rapists and off-course for CORRUPT POLITICIANSWww@Enter-QA@Com

Death penalty only for hardcore or professional killers!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Definately for!.


A person who takes another person's life should automatically lose their rights to live!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am against it!. My uncle was murdered horrifically by his 16-year -old son!. I can't bring him back!. The death penalty would only have brought on further grief to my grandmother and family!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Against, but since I am neither a family member of a murder victim or a condemned inmate then my opinion is not based on real experience of the death penalty!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't think taking of one's life, whatever the circumstances, unless it were purely in self-defence, should ever be advocated!.

Only God can judge us!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i would say against if prisons weren't so comfortable because there are worse things than death in this world!. but since they are i'm for it in the appropriate situations!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

against!
i dont think anyone, no matter how bad their crime, deserves to die for it
cuz that jst makes us as bad as them
we murder them jst like they may have murdered someone else
so it makes it ok
which its notWww@Enter-QA@Com

AGAINST, as long as there is one dishonest copper on the force, you cant say sorry and make things right if there dead!.!.!.!.also, who gets to be a legal mass murdererWww@Enter-QA@Com

I'm a Texan so of course I believe in the death penalty!. If someone hurts a child or an old person they don't deserve anything less!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Completely against, It's not the answer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

For

Child Murders, Serial Killers, serial rapists and PaedophilesWww@Enter-QA@Com

Depends the crime and the amount of evidence they have to prove that person is guilty!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Against You received so many answers in so little time, but if you get this far down the list, here are the facts which are convincing many people to think again about the issue!. Sources below!.

129 people on death rows have been released with proof that they were wrongfully convicted!. DNA, available in less than 10% of all homicides, can’t guarantee we won’t execute innocent people!.

The death penalty doesn't prevent others from committing murder!. No reliable study shows the death penalty deters others!. Homicide rates are higher in states and regions that have it than in those that don’t!.

Life without parole, on the books in 48 states, also prevents reoffending!. It means what it says, and spending 23 of 24 hours a day locked in a tiny cell is not a picnic!. Life without parole costs less than the death penalty!.

The death penalty is much more expensive than life in prison, mostly because of the upfront costs of legal process which is supposed to prevent executions of innocent people!. (upfront=before and during the initial trial)

The death penalty isn't reserved for the worst crimes, but for defendants with the worst lawyers!. It doesn't apply to people with money!. When is the last time a wealthy person was on death row, let alone executed!?

The death penalty doesn't necessarily help families of murder victims!. Murder victim family members have testified that the drawn-out death penalty process is painful for them and that life without parole is an appropriate alternative!.

Problems with speeding up the process!. Over 50 of the innocent people released from death row had already served over a decade!. Speed up the process and we will execute innocent people!.
