Views on the Death Penalty

I'm all for getting those people out of society, but I don't condone the death penalty. They're killing people for killing people.

Someone who committed murder doesn't deserve to live. He/she especially doesn't deserve to live in a place where he/she doesn't have to pay for meals and nowadays can take art classes.

If you don't like it, move to a state that doesn't execute people.

Otherwise it's just malfeasance for malfeasance's sake.

I am against it. What happened to "two wrong don't make it right?" What about the 8th amendment in our constitution? Our country is hypocritical.


Innocent people have been blamed for a crime they didn't commit and been put to death for it. Only 126 have been freed from death row since 1976 because they were proven innocent. So who knows how many other criminals on death row are actually innocent.


Killers should get life without parole. Have them suffer in prison. It's no fun being in there. Sure they may get free health care, food, internet, cable, and of course a roof over their head. But I heard their food is terrible, you get beaten in prison by other inmates, some prison guards do the abuse too. Lot of them get away with it. I watched a documentary about it so that's how I know.

You don't get to leave the ground, you stay there. Nope no shopping, no vacations, you can't leave unless you are going to court for trial. Some get to leave when they are doing work. I once saw inmates working downtown in one of the flower beds weeding. They had a guard there with a gun watching them.
You do not get freedom in prison. I doubt you have unlimited access to the internet. You don't get to see your family any time. They have to come and see you during visiting hours.

So people who think being in prison is fun are naive. I for one wouldn't want to be in prison. I like my freedom. I like all my stuff. I doubt they let me take my videogames to prison in my cell and my TV set. DVDs too.

For it in cases involving murder, sexual assault, and child molesting. Too many criminals of lesser crimes are slapped on the hand. Many crimes are by repeat offenders because they had it too easy the first time. Between the death penalty for heinous crimes and a work farm for petty criminals, I am sure the crime rate would go down. I especially like the work farm idea, putting thugs to work 7 days a week for their prison term. If they were willing to work, they wouldn't be as likely to commit crimes in the first place.

as long as there is enough direct evidence ( DNA, credible witnesses, etc ) i am 100% in support of it. and yes, before anyone asks, if someone in my family or friends were murdered ( which a few have been ) and if the death penalty were available where we live, ( which it unfortunately is not ) I would absoloutely want to be there to witness their killers being executed. but if a case is mainly circumstantial, then not so much. i guess it would depend on the specifics of the crime. that being said however, I do believe it is a necessary option to keep on the books. far too many murderers these days get light sentences, or get out of jail and re-offend. their victims dont get second chances at life. why should they? and the fact that they usually have a better life behind bars than many law abiding citizens do outside the prison is disgusting.

I'm absolutely for it, and if it were implemented more often I bet there'd be less crime. If people realized they could be put to death for committing a crime, then they most likely wouldn't do it
