Well its kinda well-written tbh, at least better than mine
Should the death sentence still be a thing?

@lucifer_ I said earlier that you have to face the consequences that comes with the right to apply your freewill. You exaggerated this case by saying there are tons of evidences and witnesses but do you remember when court was absolutely sure of someone being guilty, sentenced them to death and later noticed they arrested the wrong guy. These kind of mistakes happens and we can counter them by not applying death sentence. And you were talking about money jail costs us in tax. Most of the jails are private and make their prisoners work/craft stuff they sell afterwards not giving them 1 cent of what they made/accomplished.

@lucifer_ said in Should the death sentence still be a thing?:
and its been proven after tons of witnesses and DNA proofs and your finger prints on the weapons
and your confession,
-
@lucifer_ the fact that you confessed everything doesn't make your prison sentence lighter ?

@wtfjudith Supporters of the death penalty often posit arguments that cite retribution for violent crimes as being instrumental in justice. However, several studies and research have show that taking the life of another human being through capital punishment only perpetuates a cycle of violence. Furthermore, other research has shown that flaws in our justice system has led to innocent being prosecuted, guilty being set free, and a plethora of other biases being present during capital punishment cases. While executions spiked in 2015, they were counterbalanced by a spate of abolitions. Four countries abolished the death penalty for all crimes β the highest number to do so in the space of one year for almost a decade. These developments are a clear indication that the trend towards abolition remains strong.
Today, 103 countries have turned their backs on the death penalty for good.Those that continue to execute are a tiny minority standing against a wave of opposition.
There are countless arguments for and against the death penalty. In an imperfect world where we can never be sure we have ever got the βworst of the worstβ is it ever justified to take a life?

I think so, but it shouldn't be a common thing. It should be a punishment for only the worst crimes and only if it is clear that the person doesn't regret it and won't change after any time in prison. Some people are like that - they don't care about others in the slightest - and if it is sure that they are never going to change, then I think death sentence is appropriate. On the other hand, if it is, for example, a murder in heat of passion, then I don't think death sentence is a suitable punishment. What do you think @WtfJudith?
-
@wtfjudith the punishment should always fit the crime
-
@wtfjudith an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

@beyatot an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

I personally think that death sentence should not be there, not because its too cruel. Because its too easy on the people who commit heinous crimes. Sure, death sentence is awarded very rarely and that for too, the crimes that are unforgivable and committed being so heartless. But the people who do crimes like mass killings, mass rapes or committing any kind of atrocities need to live and repent their for their crimes. Death sentence is such an easy death for these heartless people and they dont deserve such a peaceful death.
WHAT YOU READ ABOVE IS NOTHING BUT PURE GOLDβοΈ

@violet-python Do you really think that hanging the person who burnt someone alive is equa; to the death that was caused by him?
-
@rendezvous yeah, but for people who commit mass murders and rapes, the only punishment that would be equivalent to their crime would be active torture, wich i'm pretty sure is illegal, regardless of the lerson who's doing the torturing.
-
@goldexperience torturing a person for his crimes is surely equal to what he did. But wouldnt that start a chain of tortures? (considering legality is not a problem)
And I think, they are illegal for the same purpose. And most importantly an easy death is not a justice to what they did. They deserve to live, repent for their crimes, stay guilty of those, and their conscious troubles them until they die. They must die along with a guilt and a troubled conscious, instead of dying peacefully by the means of hanging. -
@rendezvous belive me, i completely agree, but the general consensus of the average person would be that torturing a person is wrong, imoral, barbaric and so on. In theory, torture is the best idea, but it would cause a lot of problems if it were put into practice.
-
@zazzles blind people can't commit murders
-
@wtfjudith no
-
@wtfjudith yes definitely some people need to be put down
-
@wtfjudith yes it is still needed
-
Depends on the severity of the offense for me. And the guillotine should be used maybe combined with anesthesia.
-
I Agree with him
-
No, because no one has the right to kill anyone on purpose.
