Capital Punishment pt2 - Questionnaire

[Frutos]

So you are Pro Capital Punishment? (even if it just for one type crime such as terrorism or mass murder)

Yes.

 

[Goring Gull]

Under what circumstances do you think Capital Punishment is acceptable?

Rape - No
Rape (of child under 16) - No
Paedophilia - YES - can't cure it
Armed Robbery - No
Stealing (from shop) - No
Burglary (from house) - No
Treason against the country - Yes
Speeding - No
Terrorism - Yes especially immigrants
If the crime was committed by a child (under 16) in any circumstances - No
Single Murder (only one killed) - No
Mass Murder (more than one murder) - Yes
Murder of a child (Under 16) - Yes
If the murder is committed by a child (Under 16) - Maybe

Rape no
Rape (of child under 16) no
Paedophilia possibly
Armed Robbery no
Stealing (from shop) no
Burglary (from house)
Treason against the country yes
Speeding no
Terrorism yes
If the crime was committed by a child (under 16) in any circumstances no

Single Murder (only one killed) yes
Mass Murder (more than one murder) yes
Murder of a child (Under 16) yes
If the murder is committed by a child (Under 16) possibly

the caveat to the above is that the specific circumstances would have to exceed a bar. E.g., that the assailant would always be a danger and there is no possibilty of rehabilitation. The likes of Huntley, West, Suttcliffe, Stone, etc. have no place in human society IMO.

That should help your humanities coursework

 

[Gwylan]

No to all.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It's interesting that the questionnaire doesn't specifically pick up on the crimes that were punishable by hanging when Britain last had (and used) the death penalty:-

Murder in the course or furtherance of theft
Murder by shooting or causing an explosion
Murder while resisting arrest or during an escape
Murder of a police officer
Murder of a prison officer by a prisoner
Two murders committed on different occasions (if both done in Great Britain).

It's noteworthy that killing a child isn't on that list and that shooting was considered more serious than knifing.





Whatever ... the answer is 'NO'.

It doesn't include the crimes that were still punishable by the death penalty until 1997; eg piracy on the high seas and setting fire to the Queen's dockyards (although it does include high treason which was also still a capital crime then)

[pasty]

Are you PRO or ANTI capital punishment (for any circumstances)?

Anti

Under what circumstances do you think Capital Punishment is acceptable?

Absolutely none whatsoever.

 

[Biscuit]

No to all.

 

[Bad Ash]

For those of you who are anti what would you think if a serial rapist/murder with a life sentance (well perhaps a 100 life sentance so it'd actually mean they should never get out) escaped from prison then comes across your family and has his way with them?

Sure it's very unlikely, but I wonder if you'd still feel the same way since capital punishment would prevented it.

 

[pasty]

For those of you who are pro what would you think if a serial rapist/murder was excecuted, but the rape victim was subsequently proved to be lying/the conviction quashed.

Sure it's very unlikely, but I wonder if you'd still feel the same way since no capital punishment would prevented it.

 

[tedebear]

No to all - lock em up for life though and I think people in prison have no rights!

Agree with all that except under 16 years of age.Please read my updated sig from last week

I doubt it matters to some who who are happy to indulge in these odd, almost masturbatory frenzies of fantasy and torture when it comes to discussing stuff to do with crime and punishment..."I'd nail 'em up, watch 'em suffer, then torture 'em, then get the relatives in, then torture 'em a bit more" etc etc.

 

[Commander]

I would rather not have this turn into a debate

 

[The Large One]

No to all.
