>"Killing them won't bring their victims back."
How do you feel about this logic? Capital punishment doesn't right the wrong that was done.
>but it feels damn good
If you kill your enemies, they win.
It won't bring them back, but it'll help them pass into the beyond.
Some of the victims are probably hanging around in limbo waiting for the perpetrators to be killed so that their ghosts can finally move on.
You'd be doing your ghost family members a disservice by not killing the people who killed them.
>>79093976
Killing them stops them creating more victims.
>>79093976
Remember that part of the capital punishment law where it says to only use it if it brings the victims back?
Sending a person to jail, community service, a mental ward, etc. won't bring back the victims either.
They should lose the rights to live
Send em to the gulags, at least then they're useful to the country
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
>>79093976
>killing them prevents them from killing anyone else
>killing them saves us however many thousands of dollars it would take to keep them alive and guarded
How do you feel about this logic? Capital punishment isn't only concerned with righting the wrong that was done.
>>79093976
Because then it would be
>if I kill this guy I know I can be executed for it
Instead of
>I'll live life on the inside and have 3 square meals and a roof over my head
Hell look at fucking Anders Breivik and good he gets it. We never should have gotten rid of hanging. Fucking liberals
>>79094486
Then we'll kill in the dark.
>>79093976
Death penalty is barbaric but Murica is a barbaric nation, so I don't think you savages will abolish it anytime soon.
If you can kill once, you can kill again. Leaving them alive is a liability.
>>79094173
So does imprisoning them and removing them from society.
If you support the death penalty for logistics/efficiency reasons then that is a valid argument but do not pretend you are somehow morally superior to the man you are going to kill under the death penalty.
You are a murderer all the same.
>>79093976
Letting them live won't bring their victims back either.
It does give them the chance to add more bodies to the pile, though, and what the people that try to distract others with such superflorous arguments never actually say, is that they are desperately hoping for more murder, mayhem, and death at the hands of the people they defend.
It's not about bringing people back, or honoring a memory, it's about sending a message to the next asshole that wants to kill people. Kill people, get killed, that simple.
>>79093976
Punishment is about deterrence.
>>79094886
until they start writing books
>Someone murders someone
OMG SO EVIL HANG HIM HANG HIM!!! THIS MAN MUST BE REMOVED FROM OUR SOCIETY!!! (((JUSTICE)))!!! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!
>Someone murders someone with the permission of the state
omg what a hero
>>79093976
It brings justice to earth, fuck off cuckold logic
The purpose of punishment was never to resurrect dead people
>>79094886
Given all the appeals processes, the problems with getting drugs, etc it's generally cheaper to house someone for life than it is to put them on death row.
Also all that lethal injection shit is crap as hell, if you really want to kill someone for revenge (because let's face it that's what it is) you should make it quick and personal. Firing squad, guillotine, simple suffocation with carbon monoxide, etc
>>79093976
Slap em in the face and fuck em in the butt.
>savage
They sit in death row away from general pop prison mates for decades until finally they get a grand final feast and a priest then get a needle slipped into their vein where they go to sleep and their heart stops. That's barbaric?
Jesus Hans/Ahmed have you and your country really turned into a bunch of pussies? The wars really must have weeded out your toughest men and left the scrap behind to breed
>>79093976
Why pay taxes so someone who hates you gets paid a comfy life in prison?
Infallible logic. There is no incident in history, nor is there even a scientific theory, that states once a criminal is found guilty by a jury of their peers an sentenced to death, multiple appeals rejected, and an execution carried out, the ability to resurrect the dead has been bestowed on anyone.
>>79095021
You just killed a man who is a killer
Does that make you not a killer? Should you not too be killed?
The justice system is supposed to be about "justice" not revenge or deterring future criminals. One man's case is his case. It's about him, the defendant. You should not kill someone for the crimes of the next killer.
I could also make a strong argument that this "sending a message" punishment violates that man's 5th amendment rights
>>79095389
Yes it is barbaric
>>79093976
It's a warning, or should be.
Now where the death sentence takes ten years minimum and is done painlessly, it's almost laughable. If I were to commit a horrible crime and my options were life in prison without parole or the death sentence, I'd take the death sentence.

>an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

yeah it would make you blind if you constantly fuck up, newsflash, smart people wouldnt commit crimes if they faced harsh punishment
according to the braindead liberal, people will act the way they will act regardless of punishments
obviously this is untrue
Inherent in the social contract is that the government will exact the vengeance of the private citizen who remains civilized and allows the Law to act for him.
>>79095021
That sure has always worked
>>79093976
if only they could all be as hot as this one
>>79093976
So why punish anyone anyway, then? The deed is done and cannot be undone, be it murder, robbery, rape, assault, arson etc.

>>79095389
Well if you think you're actually doing them good by killing them, why not ask them first if they prefer to die or spend the rest of their lives in prison? Also, US prisons are barbaric in general, thanks for reminding me you treat your criminals worse than animals, that will sure help them rehabilitate.
By having a death penalty, you have now officially given up your life and have sold it to the state in exchange for "justice" and "security".
What right does the STATE have to pick and choose whose lives are valid and which should be terminated? What right does a jury, a group of other humans, have to take another human life?
The crime we most often think of when it comes to the death penalty is murder.
By (((your))) logic, it is a valid punishment to take the life of a man who takes another's life. So you are saying that that man (murderer) does not have the right to take that man's life yet you are implying you (a judge/jury/state) have the right to take his life?
Hypocrisy.
>>79096007
Niggers and spics can't be rehabilitated regardless.
>>79094886
Motherfucker! Do you know how much a prison costs? We're on a budget, people! Bring back the firing squads!
>>79095993
>my understanding of justice is stuck in the middle ages
I sure hope you people never complain about subhuman niggers and arabs on this board because you're not better than them in any way.
"punishment" should entail trying to fix people so that they can live in/be part of regular society
if there is a small possibility for them to be fixed that that is what should be tried
if there is no possibility of them ever being part of society so is there no point in keeping them alive
>>79095807
>smart people wouldnt commit crimes if they faced harsh punishment
Your fallacy is that you believe all laws are just and all government's are pure of intention and will. I would suggest reading a history book to realize the flaws of your way of thinking.
it is a problem that niggers brag about having been in prison
>>79094886
Wrong. Eye for an eye. If you're willing to hurt another human, then all of your protective rights up until what you've done are nullified.
If you purposely murder someone then you deserve death in the same way you killed.
>>79096224
Fuck that, bullets cost money. Two 9mm rounds to the base of the skull will do the job.

Locking them up with just bread and water 'til they die feels better.
>>79096007
It's not about what is good for them. They committed a crime, had a fair trial, and was sentenced for their crime. Whether they are redeemable is decided by God but for our world we rid it of filth and trash and God can sort the rest.
Yes the prison system in America is fucked I am not denying this. You can thank the democrats making labor in prisons illegal.
A solution would be to stop sending people to prison for things like marijuana because once they are in prison they join gangs to survive and just commit more crimes.
Unlike Germany when migrants rape out women they are punished instead of rewarded. Guten abend meine Freunde.
>>79093976
So long as every time an innocent is executed and later exonerated the judge is tried for manslaughter.
In some cases death seems the better option. Look at ADX Florence. Imagine you're sentenced for life there.
There's literally nothing wrong with revenge. And someone who seeks out and murders innocents unprovoked doesn't deserve sympathy or life.
>>79093976
Yeah, but it'll be more cost-effective to have them beaten to death in prison by the Aryan Brotherhood.
>>79096406
>If you're willing to hurt another human, then all of your protective rights up until what you've done are nullified.
>If you purposely murder someone then you deserve death in the same way you killed.
What you really mean is that if you kill someone without the state sanctioning that killing then you should be killed because you apparently have no problem with state sanctioned killings.
Does the executioner deserve to die? Do soldiers deserve to die?
Why do you pick and choose who gets to live and die based off what makes you feel morally superior?
>>79094091

So if you rape someone, you'll get raped by a police guard and if you injure someone, you get injured the same way,? Man that sure sounds like a modern justice system

I don't accept this.
The difference between executing a guilty man and an innocent man is that by committing an atrocity, he has forfeited his right to be treated like a human being.
That does not make those carrying out the justice all the same. It is not an atrocity to remove evil.

Citation needed. Where in the Constitution can I find this quote?
Capital punishment comes down to economics. Is it cheaper to get the resources needed to kill the person (lethal injection, a table, leather straps, the facilities, executioners, etc.) or is it cheaper to just pay utilities and food for the rest of the criminal's life expectancy?
Forced labor camps are better alternatives desu.

According to... what? Your ridiculous post-modern assumptions about justice?
>>79097773

If we were to handle the death penalty properly, we'd save quite a bit of money. More over, we might actually put the fear of death back into criminals were we to use older & better methods.
But hey, keep pretending that murderers are on the same level as executioners. "They both kill people," there's certainly no nuance or contextual difference.
>>79098061

Here's my perspective on this.
This isn't about justice, it's about sending a message.
That this behavior will not be tolerated among the collective.
Why mommy slapped your hand before you stuck it in the fire.
Why you were put in 5 hour detention for swearing at your teacher.
It's not there because justice is the way of the world, it's there to make a statement; "That you all better fall in line"

Fuck the appeals and fuck all this court/cost bullshit. If you kill people, and there is absolute proof that you killed them, there is no need for an appeal. No shit it costs a lot because of the court and all that other bullshit, but in this country you can buy a box of 100 rounds of ammunition for roughly $4 from Cabela's and you can buy a semiautomatic handgun for roughly $500. It only takes one bullet per stupid motherfucker, which would not only cut court costs and reduce tax money spent on bullshit like feeding and housing murderers, it would wipe these scum off the face of the planet and would allow us to use our taxes for things that are actually important, such as the failing education system and urban poverty.

No, it doesn't, you brain dead fuck. The death penalty is not "an excessive punishment." Executioners and soldiers aren't murderers.
These aren't hard concepts. Pick up a book and drop the sophists on Youtube.
Honestly the death penalty should be used for people who cannot be rehabilitated into a normal, law abiding citizen.
If the court has reason to believe that a person will be a danger to the public upon release (or in prison) then being put to death is truly the only solution.
>>79093976
It's a waste of taxpayers money to keep them alive. Besides I think it should be common sense that taking someone's life willingly means giving up on one's own.

I assume you meant the 8th, not the 5th, which doesn't matter anyway as it's impossible to argue that the same people who literally wrote down "the government can kill you" would simultaneously view the government killing you as either cruel or unusual.

Its about removing the threat for good so they cant do it again.

So why bother?

>>79093976
I don't agree with either of them. My strong belief is that more innocent Americans should be killed, simply because they killed every terrorist without questioning him. This is simply hiding of evidence and Americans aren't innocent. I think there should be a capital punishment for cops and their families who are involved in killing key terrorist evidence. As long as those people are alive there won't be no end to terrorism. Similar thing with American ghettos, just the fact that ghetto and drug trade exists should be reason enough to slaughter every cop employed at ghetto city. Don't tell me they can't solve the crime, they don't want to solve the crime. Fucking 'Mericans.
>>79093976

The truly dangerous, that can never atone for their sins, or be trusted in polite society are a waste of money, though.
Yes, you can throw a thief or a vandal in prison. A traitor or murderer, though? Those people, regardless of their mental health, can never be trusted in society. What purpose is there in keeping them in prison for the rest of their lives on society's dime?

But in truth? Justice feels fucking good. There is a primordial innate satisfaction in seeing justice meted out to the wicked, even if you're not otherwise related to the crime.

It in no way says that. It simply says to be charged for a capital crime, you need to have a grand jury indictment. It doesnt prescribe the punishment for a capital crime
>>79093976
Capital punishment only works when it's done soon after conviction, not 25 years later. Liberals win again.

you've already argued that the reason you're giving him the death penalty is to "deter" other crime

1. Death Penalty is more expensive
2. Statistically, abolishing the Death Denalty reduces crime
3. Life in a maximum security prison with little to no social activities is way harsher than death
4. The death penalty takes decades to implement making it a huge waste of time to begin with
>>79099510
yes it is
>>79100347
It absolutely does say that:

>>79100505
No I didn't. And one of the earliest written sections of the US criminal code prescribes the death penalty for treason, it was passed the same Congress that drafted the Bill of Rights.
Knowing that, and the fact that the 5the amendment explicitely says a person can be deprived of life for their crimes how could you possibly argue that the death penalty isn't 100% legal?
>>79093976
I cant support the death penalty for four reasons
>waste of money
it literally costs more to go through the whole process of having appeal after appeal to execute someone than simply giving them life in prison
>not actually an effective deterant
the murder rate is actually higher in states and countries with the death penalty because criminals are dumb as dogshit and think it means they better kill witnesses too
>morally hypocritical
"its bad to kill people even if they deserve it... I mean unless the state does it obviously!"
>cant be undone
you can let a wrongfully convicted person out of jail but you can't bring them back to life
only good argument for the death penalty I can think of is there's some people so dangerous you can't risk them escaping (ted bundy escaped twice and killed again before they gave him the chair or example) but that could be solved by simply not having shit security

A lot of people are a waste of money for society, old people, crippled people, everyone who leeches off welfare bucks. Some of them have never worked in their lives and never will. Should we kill them all, too? Do you understand the basic principles of human rights?
Also, who are you to say who can be trusted back into society and who can't? I'm sure even murderers have been successfully rehabilitated before.

Then maybe you should improve your goddamn awful prisons, so they actually prevent people from comitting crimes instead incouraging them to become even more awful

If he doesn't then he's definitely seeking a fantasy. Sometimes people need to be killed. It's not worth our time, money, or sympathy to keep human garbage alive in prison, or worse, letting them back onto the streets.
These are the same fucking people who whine and cry when criminals are shot in home invasions or robberies. It's an entire culture more concerned with looking morally superior among peers and protecting the "rights" of criminals and ignoring their victims.
>>79100339
It's not about warm fuzzy feelings, you childish fuck, it's about completely incomparability.
Murderer is literally defined by the OED as:
"The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another"
Murder=/=killing. All trees are plants, but not all plants are trees. All murder is killing, but not all killing is murder.

>>79100870
The death penalty is legal and i never argued otherwise (it shouldnt be legal though)
I argued that giving someone the death penalty for the reason of "trying to deter future killers from committing murder" violates the defendants 5th amendment rights with regard to his right to "due process" because you aren't trying his case objectively and as its own self-contained case.
>>79100899
>Then maybe you should improve your goddamn awful prisons, so they actually prevent people from comitting crimes instead incouraging them to become even more awful
So you're blaming the prisons for the person who has already shown themselves happy to murder when completely free for any murders they may commit on the inside?
That's a hell of a mental backflip.
>>79093976
if you kill all of them there will not be more victims
>>79094747
I clapped
>>79096717
Not bad...not bad.
>>79093976
Because killing them is way cheaper and assures 100% they won't hurt anyone else
>b-b-but thanks to all the legal procedures capital punishment is actually more expensive!
But it shouldn't be, that's what happens when Jewish lawyers can cuck the justice system into wasting money for no reason. Basically if there's 100% undeniable that the perpetrator is guilty of <heinous crime here> then have them executed, otherwise don't bother
To me capital punishment is simply an economic decision. In cases where rehabilitation is impossible, or they are jailed for the rest of their life, the costs are in the hundreds of thousands vs like 20 cents for a bullet.
Though i think it should only be used sparingly and rehabilitation should be the primary concern of prisons.
>>79101216
Prisons are supposed to rehabilitate criminals and prevent them from doing the bad shit they did in the past. If they fail to do so, they're obviously not fulfilling their porpose
>>79101023
It explicitly states that the judicial process has a right to deprive someone of life. It's right there, in black and white. Deal with it.
>>79101212
And I never used deterrence as an argument, but if I had it would be better than you using the amendment that explicitely condones the death penalty as punishment.
>>79100883
You don't give someone the death penalty for something that is "bad"
You are using "evil" as a term synonymous to "something that will give me an excuse to kill this guy over"
You can restrict a human beings movement within society in order to protect the greater good through imprisonment but killing him does not in any way help protect the greater good more so than imprisonment. You literally only want to kill him because it will make you feel good to do so.

You still haven't presented me with an argument
>>79100870
>how can you argue the death penalty is 100% legal
First of all, let me just say, I agree insofar as the idea that the death penalty is "settled law." There is nothing legally wrong with it in the US.
The question is what "cruel and unusual" means
Some have written its cruel on that basis that, "Receiving the death penalty is as arbitrary as being struck by lightening." Unusual because of how many developed nations still apply it
This is not an argument against the concept of a death penalty--only to say that you have to enforce it equally across the board (you cant escape by tying the system up with appeals), otherwise risk undermining the rule of law
As it stands, the death penalty in the US is dysfunctional
>>79093976
If you kill your murderers, they win.
>>79101720
My argument was that it is explicitely Constitutional despite your bitching and moaning.
>>79101836
not an argument
>>79101485
No, it explicitly states the conditional restrictions a judicial process is bound by when depriving someone of life. Once again, there is no law against murder in the constitution. If there is, point me to it
>>79098371

I oppose the death penalty because the government should not have the power to kill except in active combat.
I also oppose abortion.

Anyone with a brain. What do you think prisons are for, putting criminals into a terrible environment, so they can pay for their evil crimes? That's middle age thinking.
>And even if that were their purpose how do you fix the unfixable?
Keep them away from society for the rest of their lives but in conditions that don't violate their human rights (as far as it's possible being imprisoned).
>>79096406
>Eye for an eye
And the world would go blind
>>79101880
>No, it explicitly states the conditional restrictions a judicial process is bound by when depriving someone of life.
Indeed. And when those restrictions are conformed to...then what can they do to you?
>>79093976
Keeping them alive at taxpayer expense won't bring the victims back. Releasing the criminals would create more victims.
Killing them is the only rational conclusion. It also serves are a more effective deterrent to other potential criminals.
I hate how much money it costs. It's genuinely retarded.
Just take the sand nigger out back and put a bullet in him. Lifestream it if you want to make money.

>>79098032
Lethal injection execution is more expensive. I favor the firing squad or guillotine, much cheaper.
>>79102172
You can't keep a person away from everyone for every without violating their human rights. And if this person has already shown themselves a murderer you can't gaurantee the safety of those they interact with in prison. Not the medical staff, the guards, or the other prisoners.
Absolutely braindead argument.
>>79102051
Mmmmmm, youve missed the point. Its arbitrary because of how few people "deserve" (as defined by law and decided by a judiciary) it actually get it.
Similar to most drug laws, really.
>>79102444
>>79102295

because of the ability for them to fight it, it can cost more to kill them than to keep them alive unfortunately

>inb4 not an arguement
I bet that most cucks here that don't agree with the death penalty supports abortion.
>>79102554
Not an argument
I think you need to take in the severity of the crime.
Why can't the death penalty only be reserved for those who took many lives. It sounds absurd on its face but what you're essentially trying to do us argue individual life vs. Life of the population. If "the people" are determining one man's fate, then what does one individual need to do to be a threat to the people?
But conversations like this rarely result in anything productive, when you're talking about human life you can always make the argument that no human should be able to kill another human without consequences
>>79102485
Wrong. Mercy of the courts is not arbitrary, it's a function of Common Law that's existed for half a millenia.
Are you suggesting the people who wrote the 5th and 8th amendment had no understanding of this aspect of Common Law?
>>79098241
An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind.
>>79093976
What about instead of enforcing the death penalty, we just give prisoners the option to off themselves. It sounds cruel but if you're serving a life sentence it'd say it's the more humane route
>>79102298
It's only retarded because you guys have put away and executed too many innocent people
So in order to ensure that happens even the obviously guilty get the same treatment
>>79099058
You have to be at least 18 to post on this website.
On topic, my thoughts on the death penalty:
For it in concept, against in practice. If we could 110% know for sure we didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it, I'd be all for it.
