If they did it and it was horrible...Like against a child? They should be stoned to death by kids parents and hung out back by their balls. If they did it and there is proof and they hurt someones loved one... The family should be allowed to beat them to death
-
Yes I do. Kill someone and you should be given the choice of being- electrocuted, injected, guillotine, firing squad, hanging or handed over to the victims family.
-
How about having the convicted face death the damn same way that they imposed on the person they killed?
-
No. Government sanctioned killings are no better than what murderers do themselves. There is no way to justify it.
-
Nope... This is a very unpopular view here on Answerbag, and I expect downrates, but I believe in the human right to life.
-
No I do not. I do not believe in legal murder whether it be the death penalty or abortion. The death penalty does nothing to deter crime. I believe death row at any given time confines innocent people. Juries are people and people make mistakes. Death row inmates are being exonerated at a rate unlike any other time because of technology. It's time the USA joined other western civilized nations and stop using this archaic form of punishment.

naw they should suffer more... put them in prison and make them drop the soap..
-
In the same manner that their victims died.

I believe the guilty deserve to die, yes. Unfortunately, it has been made very clear to me that I am not qualified to sit in judgement on such matters, so I am stuck sitting on this damn fence. I can't condemn, but allowing them to live isn't my first choice, either. I wish I could have been more help to you. +5

In theory, yes. However, the American justice system is too skewed and corrupt for me to place sufficent confidence in it to sanction the death penalty.
-
i believe you reap what you sow, but i don't believe you can forcibly take someone's life, even if they have taken another's, because it makes you just as low as them.

I believe in principle in the death penalty. But I do not like giving the state the power to kill for justice. The state is fallible, and prone to political caprice. The state has proved itself over and over to be only marginally competent The death penalty, once applied, cannot be repealed. So until guilt of capital crime can be proven with metaphysical certainty, I am opposed.
-
I'll just say NO. The last time I answered this question on AB a comment line grew to two pages.

I believe an eye for an eye and it doesn't matter how they die. However, after watching The Life of David Gale is really made me think and I was on the fence about the topic for a while. There are just people out in the world who in my eyes are a complete waste of sperm who killed many and/or raped and killed many children. They deserve to die. Period.
