Death Penalty

[SurreySeagulls]

Correct me if I am wrong and I am sure NSC will only be too glad to do so. Can't you still be hanged for Treason in the UK? I thought it was the only crime you could be executed for since the abolition of execution for all other offences.

Couple of years ago there was anews report on the radio of a man who raped a 14 year old girl in, I think it was Iran, on Wednesday went to court and sentenced to death on Friday appeal heard Monday morning and rejected executed on Monday afternoon less than 7 days after committing the offence. The worst part was that the father of the girl had to choose the form of death and he chose drowning. To carry out the execution they bound the man and put him in a sack and the father then dropped him into a deep tank of water from a JCB type digger. They call that civilisation!!!!

well, they do say justice must be seen to be done and you cant say thats not the case here.

before getting moralistic though, how many would do this or somthing similar to someone if it were their daughter and they knew they could get away with it? Do you object to the method or the principle? What is a suitable "civilised" punishment for a rapist pedophile? Place them in a nice warm victorian institution and put on three meals, TV, pool table, library?

Well I think they should bring in the death penalty.
If not because of "human rights" "no better than them if we do that" etc etc brigade...then at least let LIFE imprisonment mean LIFE.
People like Huntley, Glitter, Hindley, West etc should be shot, hung, gassed, electrocuted where there is insurmountable evidence that they are bang to rights.

If there wasn't "insurmountable evidence" then they surely shouldn't have been found guilty anyway?

I'm in favour of hanging anyone in favour of the death penalty.

No, it was abolished recently

For what reason?

 

[steward 433]

mmm did i say fry everyone who broke certain laws NO. BUT if certain laws are broken and there is undoubtable evidence i.e. dna or cctv etc then yes i think that certain crimes should be punishable by death and yes i am being rational too

Agree with this comment. If 100% then i vote yes.

Saves on tax payer money too! Sounds nice and harsh that doesn't it.

£78,000 per annum to keep a lifer inside not harsh really think it was the Reagen era who worked out that if the death penalty was abolished in the States income tax would go up 12% maybe if we bought it back ours could come down?

Why is it relevent. Are you saying that the opinions of those with relatives who have sufffered at the hands of a serial killer matter more than the rest of society then?

You make it sound like such a fantastic monetary saving policy and that really should NOT be an issue here.

its relevant as why should these so called humans get away with it because lets face it prisons are more like holiday camps than any kind of punishment and well answer the question how would YOU feel if it was your mum or nan?

That is absolute rubbish. Holiday camps? You have been reading too many crappy newspapers.

maybe not BUT that would sway a lot of peoples minds in the current financial climate, Anyway we can't reinstate it all the tme we are in the EU so this is just opinions and as far as i am aware we can still have our own?

one of my best mates is a screw at Lewes and he reckons they have a better life than he does

 

[magoo]

We already tried the death penalty once but it didn't seem to work very well as a deterent did it!

But i would be in favour of bringing it back so we don't have to pay to keep certain scum alive. Like Richard Madeley.

Hold on. I am asking whether or not you feel the opinions of the victims of serial killers hold more water than the opinions of the rest of society. Can you answer that?

I presume you're saying yes, but if you are saying no then why bother asking how I'd feel if it was one of my own? I'd have thought it was fairly obvious how I'd feel.

I know someone who did time for a single week in a low security prison and he'd back up your facts. Really, a handful of days inside with access to a table tennis table and a TV is no deterrent.

But that is a whole lot different to being stuck with that life for years on end. It's probably not dissimilar to the feeling of being unemployed for a week.

 

[The Large One]

It is wrong to kill someone. This for me is the end of the argument.

Largely I agree, but...

POINT OF ORDER

Does that include your mother or father or a loved one who is living their life with a terminal illness in such excrutiating agony, that to prolong their life would only add to their suffering?

no they dont count for more, but a public referendum would be the only fair way to see if it should ever be reinstated. I never said yes either i can just see it from both sides. MY personal opinion is bring it back due to various things i have seen in my lifetime that's all.
