So just posted a thread about Lin Li who drowned her daughter as a punishment for wetting herself.
She got 18 years. Pathetic imo. For me Life should mean Life. In every case. I don't think we should bring back the death penalty though because of miscarriages of justice. Discuss.

The death penalty gives closure and revenge to the victims left behind

You can set someone free but you can't resurrect them

improve the way we prosecute, spend the money we would spend looking after monsters - keeping them warm, feeding them, letting them live their lives in relative comfort so we dont make mistakes In the USA due to the time it takes to kill perps it costs more than it would to give them life! That would need to change |

call it any fancy name you want to hide behind.
at the end of the day if your child was killed, would you sleep easy knowing their murderer was in jail playing pool, taking drugs and watching sky sports laughing it up? getting out in half his sentence? and when one murders they give up their human rights so to call it murder by the state is incorrect Last edited by LeatherTrumpet; 27-02-2020 at 04:02 PM. |

the point was people seem ok with giving life sentences to innocent people (who 9/10 times or more) do their time but baulk at "omg what if we kill an innocent person" |

Obviously neither is ideal but clearly one has a chance to be rectified and the other doesn't

My ex killed someone...stabbed him...and he is due to get out in a few years. I think he should rot in jail. With no privileges as Kazanne said.

One need only look at the crime rates of states that carry the death penalty to know that it is not a deterrent.
(From: https://www.amnestyusa.org/issues/de...nd-deterrence/ ) As for life... I think for repeat and serial offences yes. I believe there is a clear difference between killing, raping or whatever once... and doing it to multiple victims. The latter is a clear sociopath and should be imprisoned for life... with the former, there is the possibility of rehabilitation (plus other factors have to be taken into account like the perpetrator's mental health, their sobriety, the level of intent (eg. panicking and shooting someone during a robbery isn't equivalent to premeditated murder)... and so on.)

Our prisons are
overcrowded badly run out of control riddled with drugs rhabilitate hardly anyone run by prisoners our sentencing is: all over the shop too lenient lets bad people off with pathetic sentences hammers people who really should not be in jail something needs to be done but of course it wont because we dont like to think about bad things and we are too soft/liberal |

Bring back the death penalty for the worst offences and crimes against children , elderly and /disabled.
Plus let the scientists experiment on them whilst they’re waiting .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Beyond any doubt, lethal injection for first degree murder, serial rapists or kiddy fiddling.
No to hanging though. |

I've always said LIFE should mean LIFE , what the hell is the point if they're allowed parole or a short sentence after heinous crimes .
