It’s very difficult to say what I may do if such a thing were to happen to my child or loved one, I definitely would want them dead and I accept what you’re saying, but I feel like a government shouldn’t let their emotions cloud their judgement in the name of revenge and should try to see it differently. This person is a danger - lock them up for the rest of their lives.
I don't think it's wrong or barbaric to painlessly euthanize someone who brutally killed, defiled and ate people's bodies (among other horrible examples).
I don't think there's any argument for the rehabilitation of a person like that. You can't let them out, keeping them around is pointless, and on the off-chance they do escape, is their life worth more than the people they endanger? >

True but it’s much cheaper for us to keep them in prison than to carry out the death penalty. >

Is it actually? One would assume that food, clothing, guards' wages, medical care and God knows what else over the course of 50+ years would come out to more than a lethal dose of whatever.
Edit: well I'll be damned. You're right. How the fuck is that possible? >

Because they got rid of the noose. >

Supposedly it's the high cost of re-trials and appeals, which death-row inmates have more access to than genpop folks. >

Yeah I just saw that. Its weird because there's some cases where the evidence is so clear there shouldn't even be recourse for appeals tying up the court. >

It's mostly from outside people or organizations thinking they're doing right by letting them prolong their life or some weird moral hoolahoop >

Legal fees from all the appeals. The guillotine should be use. Quick result. >

i think the death penalty is problematic when it's used as a weapon of oppression. you may even argue that it's inevitable to be so, but i also believe that truly evil individuals who are unquestionable threats to society, such as serial rapists and murderers, should be executed. i don't think it's about playing god as much as it is about doing the right thing. i'm sure you don't agree with that, but that's how i fem. >

Too much of an error rate to use death penalty justly. >

Very true, innocent people have been killed before >

That's another topic. A lot of people killed and the real killer is out there >

Some people deserve the death penalty. >

I don’t feel like that should be for the government to decide >

Who decides then? >

No one, that’s kinda my point >

Some people most definitely deserve to be executed, if someone brutally raped and killed your child you'd want them dead right? I know I would. >

Yes absolutely. I’d make it slow. >

I'd say the death penalty is justified then in cases like this.
