Capital Punishment

[UtilitarianDeist]

[The Grand Nudger]

The greatest good, for the greatest number. Not the subjective good for whatever can experience the most happiness. Look, make your arguments, hold your position, but don't call it what it's not,. That doesn't help.

Kill all criminals, let god sort 'em out!

[Drich]

I say no. 
Killing people who kill people isn't a good image. 
It also doesn't do anything to protect or deter that incarceration doesn't already do

And our justice system is geared around money. Legal costs are ridiculously high and if u can't afford them then your screwed. 
On the other hand if u can afford a good defence council then the guilty can walk like OJ Simpson

But what do u think??? Should the death penalty be allowed???

So say we capture a few hundred ex ISIS terrorists. the worst of the worst many on our top terrorist lists. We catch them planning to dirty bomb 6 major cities. and then the remaining force was to take out Washington. but we caught them in time. what do we do with them?

[The Grand Nudger]

We imprison them, and extract whatever intel we can. The same thing we would want for our own combatants. It's not hard to figure this out.

It's telling in examples like these that we're angling for somebody to kill, some person or group hated enough. That shows that we think executing people is a bad idea. We look for a worse person to make a bad idea better.

Thing is, we're never going to find somebody who's hated enough that isn't a somebody. Their choice of profession isn't the issue. Want them dead. Fine. Deeply feel that they should be executed. Fine. Understand the undercurrent of our own remarks - it's a bad idea. I've got a list too. Doesn't mean that I can't also know better. How about you drich? Do you think this might be fair and accurate with respect to your own position?

Incarcerate them
