Zone1 Is it time to stop capital punishment ?

[Tommy Tainant]

A third of US executions botched in 2022 - report

Seven of 20 execution attempts were visibly problematic or took an inordinate amount of time.

www.bbc.co.uk

Some of the detail in the report is horrific.

Not least the number of innocent people who continue to be found guilty and the large number of people with mentaal health issues.

The system has been proven to be flawed and should now be consigned to history.Is there a moral reason why it is still retained ?

 

[rightwinger]

Capital Punishment is Barbaric and does not reflect well on our country

Most of the civilized world has given up on it as has most US states

I'm a big fan of the Soviet method....The condemned never knew when the sentence would be carried out.

On the "big day" it was a 9mm Makarov round to the back of the noggin.....Wait for the dead person to bleed-out (each cell had a floor drain), tote the body away, then send in another prisoner to hose the cell down.

Done and done.

It should only be used in extreme cases…

Mass murder, selling nuclear codes and voting for either political party…

All the rest who should be sent to death row should be forced into hard labor or be used as lab rats instead…

( The political party one was or is tongue and cheek… or is it? )

With whats going on in this country toady, I say get rid of prolonged executions and start immediate, swift retaliations for thier crimes.

They still get due process, BUT these must be PROVEN before punishment can be carried out --

Rape - hanging
Child molestation in any form - stoned to death in public forum.
Murder not proven to be self-protection - firing squad
Fraud, corruption, falsification - drowning by dropping in the middle of the ocean
Illegal entrance into the USA - blown up or shot on sight
Stealing/petty theft - get a finger cut off for every time your caught......including the entire arm/foot/leg.
Those who lie to incriminate others - tongue cut out
Media that lies and falsifies - tongue cut out
Treason - public stoning, with stones being sold for $100 a piece, proceeds given to public schools.

You get the idea.
I believe in the surefire old world methods of law enforcement. THEY WORK!

And ALL punishments carried out as soon as judgement is made.

 

[Auld Phart]

no

The ones that qualify for the deah penalty are a cancer on our society, and should be treated as a cancer.

Can we Water Board them first?

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

Can we Water Board them first?

Sure, why not.
These types of criminals have no empathy or consideration for life or people in general.
Why should we have any for them?

You would be killing many innocent people. That cannot be right. You would also be denying people access to appeal. That is illegal. I dont think you have thought this through.

Take a life.
Lose yours...
Plenty of cases where evidence is overwhelming and not circumstantial.

 

[Blues Man]

IMO anytime capital punishment is an option there has to be a higher standard than merely "beyond reasonable doubt". There should be no shadow of a doubt as in the Ted Bundy or BTK convictions.

Not California. They kept Charley Manson alive on life support till he was 90 years old.

It is a solution for overcrowded prisons.

 

[Blues Man]

It is a solution for overcrowded prisons.

not really because capital punishment is only an option in a small percentage of crimes.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Christians would argue that is the correct solution.

You do not need to have sympathy for them.

Easy, just shoot them in the head. Problem solved.

 

[Votto]

Christians would argue that is the correct solution.

As an atheist, you reject an unjust and unloving God you envision because it is a different vision of the just and loving God I worship.

Then you sit round telling me what I should be doing and thinking as a Christian?

Sounds about right.

Funny liberals accept collateral damage when it comes to funding their war in Ukraine or forcing their climate change agenda.
