The You Can't Make This Shit Up Department

[Dystopia]

Crime rates have nothing to do with it. Capital punishment is not a deterrent...certainly not the way we do it. Criminals never think they will be caught and most murders are not planned anyway with the idea of avoiding capture.

There are some crimes which are so heinous that frying the perp seems the only answer...the Boston Bomber comes to mind...but other than that.......

Yes I do know that, I like practical solutions, a sentence that will fail to deter crime is useless, it's probably the biggest reason I oppose the death penalty.

I don't know who the Boston bomber is, I'm guessing it was a serious crime that shocked everybody, but still I'll stick to the saying that an exceptional case doesn't justify breaking the general rule entirely

Oh and when I talked about the necessity for some countries to execute criminals, it isn't meant to deter crime, but more like overpopulation of jails and lots of criminals continue their work on the inside. Take the example of Brazil, using the death penalty for 2 or 3 years could help them, but of course it would violate human rights and the brazilian constitution
