The death penalty ..

RE: The death penalty ..
Quote:Isn't locking someone in prison until they die.. a death penalty? but at a cost to the tax payer. Or you let them out early and their victim loses!

Not in the standard definition of capital punishment. The cost is immensely greater for DP cases....some states have abolished it just because they can't afford it.

And the kid is dead, either way. He has nothing left to lose.

Do you know what... I posted about an evil act, and yet you lot are chirping in like I did something wrong... try having brian sodding numptyy challenge every post you make even if it's about the weather and see why I take a small victory !

This potentially a great forum with like minds, yet some of your are just here to big up your egos.. if that's you then get lost and block me... you're boring

(and yes I don't mind being challenged... but not on semantics and spelling)...

Hornets nest prodded for the idiots to swarm in... happy days...

Pity the poor child that got murdered... but gave some of you your oxygen.. !

But I'm NOT challenging you on either your semantics or your spelling, but the inconsistency of your position.

This is a discussion forum. Put on your big girl knickers and deal with it.

If someone killed my relatives, I'd kill the person myself, I wouldn't ask the State to fulfil my revenge using justice as a cover system.

If at least the death penalty decreased crime rates, practical utility would exist - A sentence without practical utility is worthless. What intimidates criminals is not so much the severity of the penalty, but the certainty of it. If there is a feeling of impunity, that's a half-way ticket to increase crime rates.

The fact that it doesn't decrease crime means it shouldn't be standard, but I do believe that some people need to be removed from this planet.
