Do you support the death penalty

[Esparmuran]

Although I remain neutral on the DP, I don't see why life in prison can't be a substitute.

Waste of money and liberals will use their political power to edit laws so they can get out early on parole.

I suppose.

[Redemption-America]

The state of Ohio recently executed a man who raped his six month old daughter to death. Its horrific actions like that that make me glad there is a death penalty.

[Anarchadom]

Every human being has the right to live, and the right of a second chance.

[Bretzelstan]

Yes.

[Christian Democrats]

No, I do not support the death penalty. Wrongdoers ought to have the chance to repent and be allowed the opportunity to attempt to reform themselves.

[Britannia I]

Don't really feel like arguing my case...Yes I support the Death Penalty

[United Paradisia]

No, I do not support the death penalty. Wrongdoers ought to have the chance to repent and be allowed the opportunity to attempt to reform themselves.

Depends for murder, they could repent. For mass geniuses rape drug trafficking, war crimes, etc it would be much easier to shoot them in the face.

[Rome and Italy]

I believe that if someone can walk out of their home with the only intention of killing an innocent person they shouldn't be guaranteed that their life will not be taken .

[Othelos]

No, I do not support the death penalty. Wrongdoers ought to have the chance to repent and be allowed the opportunity to attempt to reform themselves.

Plus, it's immoral to kill people.

Why, what does his death accomplish? What if he was innocent?

They obviously had enough evidence to get him executed.

[Arumdaum]

Totally against. We shouldn't forcibly end the lives of others against their will. Numerous amounts of executed are later found to have been actually innocent, and it's more expensive than imprisonment.

[Karelo-Finnish SSR]

Of course, but only if the criminal was proven guilty of a crime that justifies capital punishment.

.....

Many people who've been put to death were later found to be innocent.

[Dusk_Kittens]

In theory, yes, but only for the most extreme crimes.
In practice, no, because I don't believe "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" is possible via empiricism.

[Immoren]

No because it immorally wrong except in extreme cases such as murder.

Empirical research confirms that the death penalty saves innocent lives.

To reject it is to subject innocent people to violent horrific death.

Is that moral ???

Life is a prison, death is release.

[Blakk Metal]

It's just... gotta be done I mean.

Some criminals should be executed... because what they did was that bad. Plus life imprisonment wastes the resources of the state on keeping him alive... We should also cut red tape to make the appeal process after getting the death sentence A LOT (LOT LOT LOT) faster and less costly.

Which offenses?

No because it immorally wrong except in extreme cases such as murder.

Not as much as making up bullshit....

No, I do not support the death penalty. Wrongdoers ought to have the chance to repent and be allowed the opportunity to attempt to reform themselves.

Depends for murder, they could repent. For mass geniuses

rape

...is not as permanent or severe as homicide, and should not draw it.

drug trafficking,

...isn't immoral at all, and should not draw any penalty.

war crimes, etc it would be much easier to shoot them in the face.

After.... ?

[Zweite Alaje]

Every human being has the right to live, and the right of a second chance.

Rapists, pedos, and murders don't deserve a second chance.

[Pope Joan]

We have a deplorable habit of killing innocent people in the name of justice.

The police, the DA, the judge and jury often declare staunchly that yes, this man (overwhelmingly it is a man, women are too innocent by nature to deserve death, we feel) must die.

Then it turns out they were all wrong.

The Innocence Project started out in Illinois but now many other states have similar efforts. The results show that it is hot or miss whether those we designate for death ever truly deserve it.

So let's just not. By the time the defendant is dead, it's too late to say "oops!"

[Wind in the Willows]

For treason, murderers, pedophiles and rapists.

[Salandriagado]

Every human being has the right to live, and the right of a second chance.

What about innocent people wrongly convicted of the above?

My father actually works closely with the Innocence Project in California, as a matter of fact. Does fantastic work.
