Death penalty

**Darth Ultor** · 03-10-2010

I support it only in the worst of circumstances, like for terrorists, war criminals, and really horrible serial killers. If only to bring closure to the families of the victims. However, in most cases, I don't support it; death is too good for scum like some of these *******s who rape and murder women and children. The normal prison population would tear people like them to pieces.

Rape has nothing to do with sex or sexual satisfaction. It is a power issue and is based on the rapist's desire to show they are more powerful than the victim or even the government. They want the death penalty and are encouraged to rape because of the death penalty. It is their desire to show they have no fear of death or the government and will do whatever they please to do, no matter who tries to stop them. The threat of the death penalty adds to their thrill and enjoyment. They do not intend to be caught and believe they are too smart to get caught. Sadly there is some truth as most rapists are never caught.

Yes, I believe that the death penalty must be instituted. I believe in hard justice. Too many people get away with horrible things in today's world knowing that there won't be that bad of a consequence for their actions.

Voted no to death penalty. Don't believe the state should kill people they could detain indefinitely. Its too expensive, not a deterent and its immoral.

Well, what if someone wanted to publish your daughter's mutilated body in a porn magazine?

If I were the head of state, we would charge the owner of that magazine, and you could carry out the death penalty yourself. It disgusts me that people like that walk the face of the earth, and it scares me that they actually have a large consumer market to cater to.

How is it expensive to kill them?

It's only expensive to kill those sentenced to death row due to legal, court, appeal issues, etc.

Western law is extremely complex and the system is huge. Simple justice which the Religion of Al Islaam offers is much more efficient. Eye for an eye.

"Eye for an eye"? What about the due process of the law? One thing I do like is the fact that the family of the victim can pardon the criminal and the execution is canceled.

Due process of law needs to be reasonable. The religion of Al Islaam neither advocates vigilante justice, but on the other hand, the Western version of law is extremely bureaucratic (for lack of better word).
