Should death row inmates be militarized instead?

[Wickedly evil people]

I say electrocute them.


Why let them indulge their psychopathic urges in battle.

[Imperializt Russia]

What could POSSIBLY go wrong with letting murderers and other psychopaths loose with IEDs attatched? Give it about ten seconds worth of thought and you'll soon realise why this counts as a really dumb idea.

Ha! The U.S had the Mafia work with them in W.W II. Morals only matter to the living. I'd do it, along with poisoning their water supply and carpet bombing.

So, you'd go and do two notoriously ineffective things and then sort of pray that they work?

Good, the government knows not to let you into the DoD then.

[Ifreann]

It's sad, how many people took that seriously.

This is NSG. It's a thread with an OP titled "Should death row inmates be militarized instead?"

My thoughts exactly. Poe's law is very much in effect.

Why should we let you indulge your urge to electrocute people?

[Magna Libero]

Most death row inmates are such due to very serious crimes and very frequently possess psychological or personality disorders. Do you really want an anti-social sociopath, who are inclined towards manipulation and abuse at best, and serial rape and murder at worst, to be given combat training, armed with military grade weaponry, and placed in a position of immence authority and power over others, including and not limited to life and death?

There's a reason military members must undergo psych evals. No thank you.

EDIT: The above is based purely on the title. In your OP, are you suggesting we strap bombs to convicts and send them out to die? Again, I must point out, to a sociopath, what in gods name would stop them from just turning around and blowing themselves up on their "allies"? Either way you slice it, this is a terrible idea.

Yeah, and considering that people very often become mentally ill after they have experienced a war and this in turn can lead to what you said (shootings, harming others etc).

I am curious. How many mentally ill people vs how many "normal" have committed murder in 2013 ? I think that's prejudice.

If you can't point out why electrocuting people is a bad thing then why do you want to restrict other people from thinking like that? Nothing in itself is a valid reason, without an adequate explanation.

Soldiers do commit more crimes than the general population, according to a recent British study.

I say we let the military run "tests" on them....

At least be honest and say you just want to torture them.

I didn't say anything about what people should be allowed to think.

That shooting thingie in Washington Navy Yard-- surely mental illness is a factor?

This is just one case, but do you seriously think that it doesn't matter if a person is mentally and kills someone due to that?

Also, the murdering of non-American civilians by American soldiers?

Something about the statistics

It looks like we have ourselves a sadist here.

Who?

Oh, I think you misunderstand me. I'm a nice guy. But if I go to war, I will do anything and everything to grind you dust. I have very few limits.

Do you get off on watching people get electrocuted? Surely lethal injection would be enough, but it seems you crave watching prisoners die a painful death for no other reason to please some desires you have.

Yes, I'm sure you're a super hardcore nihilist or sociopath or whatever cool thing kids pretend they are these days.

Those two things are notoriously ineffective at completing any sort of objective or "grinding into dust".

How many mentally ill killers vs. Non mentally ill killers. You can only justify that statement by official F.B.I statistics. Show the statistics, I don't want anecdotes.

So hardcore bro.
You're making me shiver in fear of your hardcore-ness, I swear.

Your latest copy of ITG has arrived.

Only if we invent a chemical to turn their blood into a boiling acid that will rain down on the enemy. Cause then that would be really cool.

Serious answer: no you psycho.

[The Nihilistic view]

Not in the way you describe, the British courts used to offer convicted criminals the choice between hanging/prison depending on the crime and joining the army. I would say it was quite successful.

Would it work now? say instead of 10 years for armed robbery offer them 10 years in the military instead? Possibly, I would not mind but the OP version of making them walking IED's/suicide bombers is silly.

Yes, it was VERY ineffective in WW II . I suppose that's why the Allies won the war?

That's such a great idea placing a convicted thief into the army where they have access to military weaponry they can steal and sell.
