Why I'm against the death penalty
I'm not against it because I feel pity for murderers, or because I believe that it makes us killers or drags us down to their level, which I don't believe it does. I'm against it because I don't believe it's a true punishment. I believe it's an escape for the convict, so they will never have to face what they did, they will never feel true guilt, they will never truly suffer like they deserve to. Instead they get the peace of death, and leave those whose lives they ruined behind to suffer, while they rest in eternal sleep.
Instead, I believe in harder prisons, and life in prison actually meaning life.

1 AntwortenMost of the punishment within the death penalty is the wait. People on death row rarely know when they'll go and normally the suspense gets to them.

2 AntwortenI personally think the death penalty should be for all crimes, we'd just have to redraw the lines for what makes a crime. Kill enough people and it won't be done anymore.

8 AntwortenReasons I'm against the death penalty: 1) Because killing people is wrong

Life in prison may be a worse fate for some, but I doubt most. Even if prisons were worse, I doubt many would prefer to die. But, if the intent is to somehow make prisons worse than death, what do you do about the fact that innocent people are still routinely convicted? That's my objection to the death penalty or any sort of cruel punishment, not because of a universal respect for life, but because I do respect the innocent. Until our courts can be shown 100% accurate, I don't see how we can consider the death penalty or brutal prisons justice.

3 AntwortenIf people would rather die than go to prison, then keep the death penalty around, even if it is an "escape." They are still dealt with. Can't do more evil when dead. "Get off your high horse" comes to mind.

I have a feeling when I'm older paying for bills I'm going to be completely supportive of the death penalty.

I'm against the death penalty because I don't enjoy killing people.

5 AntwortenWell, if you think it is a true punishment OP, then you should pay for their food, housing, etc. Not little old me. As far as I'm concerned, if you're convicted of the death penalty (which in my case of reform, would be cases of 100% certainty...ala recent mass killer sprees), you should be taken outside and shot immediately after sentencing. Costs 0.05.
