MonsterHunterMaster Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I heard and read in the newspaper a prisoner was put to death through a poison injection, but they did not found a right vain or something like that, and the prisoner helped the guards and was searching a vain were they an inject it. Finally they found one and he died. I think no one of us can imagine the feeling the guy must had there... :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkatu Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I understand that a person that is sentenced to death must have done something terribly wrong, but wouldn't those who kill him become murderors themselfs? My vote was no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytsejam91 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I understand that a person that is sentenced to death must have done something terribly wrong, but wouldn't those who kill him become murderors themselfs? My vote was no. Agree with that, and agree with who said that "death is the easy way". Killing someone is just wrong, and taking the life of a criminal it's not a "real" punishment, since after his\her death he\she wouldn't think of what he\she has done. Since I don't have a wide knowledge about the various cases others have mentioned I cannot give an answer to them, but I say that taking the life of somebody will result in being a murderer, in every case. I would rather lock criminals for long times, to let them think about what they've done and possibly try to reeducate them. I know that some of them are just crazy, but i can't accept that law could take away their life, because this is not a way to resolve the problem, it's only getting rid of it without facing it, and again i say that putting to death someone is a punishment only till their heart stops, then is "freedom" (don't think I'm speaking of afterlife here, i not believe in it), while for us is the disappear of a problem.

AncientSpaceAeon Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 @Anyone who voted yes. Imagine if the one who could be put to death is your loved ones (like family, best friend), and your loved one could be put to death because what he done. I bet most of you don't want your loved one to be put to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balagor Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Instinctivly it's not right or wrong, it's nature. Without starting a religious debate,The Bible says to "follow mans law".. so if mans law says kill people for killing other people..then that's something we gotta live with. The world would be more of a massive unorganized toilet bowl without a system of rules to abide by and without the death penalty there would definitly be more crime than there is now..For example.. Say for the hell of it you decide to steal a candy bar for one of your friends.. you walk into the store and nab a musketeers and run away before the fat guy behind the counter even figures it out..Easy..simple and you'd happily risk it again UNLESS you knew nabbing another candy bar would get you the death penalty. For most first strikers.. when commiting a crime,they could care less about the consequences , but when your up on your 2nd strike felony charge.. and the judge tells you "Next time i catch your ass in my court room i'll inject you lethally myself!".. one may start to reform. The punishment of death is a cold one,but that's the point. Or this is just how one becomes a 3x looser, and goes ALL the way, and shoot down 10 cops, + some innoncents, because of a minor crime getting out of hand. What the hell I`m gonna die anyway, so why not do it the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrosocial Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 If a guard is administering the injection, how is he a murderer? it is the law that had the killer exicuted. the guard was just following it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterHunterMaster Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I agree pyrosocial.. I think the guards have to do it cuz otherwise they would probably get fired or something like this..and i think they dont let a normal guard kill the prisoner, they probably let a special guard do it, one that is trained to do it..

I bet most of you don't want your loved one to be put to death. That´s true. Heard from many women (and mothers); they will always love a son/daugther, no matter what cruelty the commit. Even if they end up on the death row, waitng for the final meal, they will always be mothers "little baby". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleRoe Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 yeah sure.. i'd hate to have a family member die by the death penalty.. but if they were guilty of the crime then they sadly are getting what's coming to them..honestly i'd feel extremly bad about it but i wouldn't do a damn thing about it considering i know they are guilty. The law isn't the same in any state and most laws are corrupt in one form or another..but i'll never feel that the death penalty isn't needed. To me,plenty of crimes have been prevented because the person or persons planning on commiting the crime thought twice about what would happen if they got caught.. The guy getting fried gets the bad end of the deal.. he broke the law alot of times and now he dies for it.. but hopefully the next man learns from this.

Burnagirl Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ? Yes or No to the death penalty ? In many instances this really doesnt matter. What matters is ..... If the government doesnt do it through the Law - and hopefully it's an independant Law not controlled by government then the people are going to do it, so rather give the person a trial which is free and fair than have the mobs of frustrated people take the law into their own hands and turn the streets red with blood .... and yes it will be the innocent that suffer in most instances. Unless you've seen mob justice like I have where people are beaten to a pulp and have petrol poured down their throat and set on fire and explode into flame or innocents kept in a shack and be beaten for days on end only to be hacked to pieces with Pangas (huge sugar cane knives) then you'd agree.It would be better to have the death sentence and have peace and law and order in our societies than having chaos and anarchy. Though your State or nation might not have the death penalty and you do not see the above happening where you are, the person or people who have had the crime perpetrated against them want justice .... it's not about the criminal, it's about the crime.
