You are saying two different things. When you say 'death penalty', you are talking about a judgement in the court of law. I have no interest in changing the laws, so that taking a pack of bubble gum, results in a guillotine.
What we are talking about here, is when you are in the process of being victimized, and you pull a gun and order someone to stop... if that person refuses, I don't have any problem with you shooting them.
And here is the real irony between us on the right, and you people on the left. Between the two of us, we care more about lives, than you do.
Image for a moment, a world where as long as you are running away, no one can touch you. Where you can commit any crime at all, and as long as you are fleeing, you are effectively untouchable by the world.
Crime would be rampant in such a world. Murder would be common. Deaths at the hands of the police would happen all the time, because criminals would be openly willing to confront police, when they believe they have the right to resist arrest without consequences.
But of course we don't have to imagine such a world... we're living in it right now, with some of the highest murder rates in a 1st world country, where criminal die at the hand of police all the time.
You know what country follows our system? Singapore. Did you know that in a city of 5.6 Million people, that they only recorded 2 murders last year?
Why? Because capital punishment is heavily enforced, including drug offenses.
The result is, far fewer people die, because they simply don't murder, rape, or engage in the drug culture. That's fewer criminals to, because the criminals do not resist police.
By the way, we used to have that too in our country. You go back to the 1930s, and if a police officer caught you, you just surrendered.
So between you and me.... you are the one that wants more dead people, with your bad policies. Not me.
