RE: Death Penalty
August 30, 2015 at 8:41 pm
My thoughts on the death penalty come down to three main points; 
  • Killing people outside of a life and death situation (and you know what I'm on about) is wrong. 
  • The system is imperfect, and even if I thought the death penalty was appropriate I wouldn't condone a process that would take the lives of innocent people. 
  • In my opinion, as one who doesn't believe in the afterlife, I think it would be a greater miscarriage of justice to allow someone to escape their deeds via death. If you murdered, raped, and mutilated people you shouldn't be given the release of oblivion. That's far too easy.
