Bring back the death penalty?

Former Member · March 2004

yes I think the death penalty should be brought back. If someone doesn't respect another's right to live, why should anyone respect that person's right to live? but i think they should make it 'innocent untill proven guilty' and not guilty untill proven innocent. that way, innocent people won't die.

Yea, so.

I believe in some things and not in others, i'm sure you've done it before as well.

Why i said I agree with death penalty was because when someone does a serious crime they eventually will be released. Now some crimes are horrendous and I dont feel they should be released back into society because there could be a chance they would strike again.

That's the jist of my view about it.

Life imprisonment SHOULD mean life though.

If this would be applied correctly then there would be no need for a death penalty.

I agree wholly. I've actually discussed this with a few people and some have said that the death penalty will stop these criminals reproducing

... does that mean they believe that you are genetically predetermined to go out and kill a child?

As for the idea of bringing it back, it will cause too much trouble with liberals and will raise questions such as how far you have to go before you are to be executed... what would be the best method of execution? Will it be humane and nasty?

Would supporters of the death penalty be prepared to throw the switch of an electric chair themselves?

The problem with the death penalty is that there are far too many cases where a miscarriage of justice has been carried out ie Guildford 4, Birmingham 3, Tottenham 3 thats ten innocent people who would have been put to death for crimes they didn't commit.

And why were they picked on?

The British Government again.
