Do you believe in the death penalty?

I'm on the fence. Sometimes it seems best to just remove them from the world. Though even if that is the best option, we spend far too much on them. Just a bullet in the head after the trail, and be done 🤷‍♂️
On the other hand, some should suffer more before they get to die

No, I don't think it's productive. It costs more money than just locking crooks up forever and unlike incarceration, it's 100% irreversible. False convictions are unfortunately a fact of life, so the death penalty will inevitably cause innocent people to die.

The death penalty. I think humans revolve everything around our survival. We don’t care about plants or animals surviving, we just care about us humans surviving. So if you aid my survival, you are “good”. But if you are a threat or a burden to my survival, you are “evil” and either will be abandoned, locked up, sent to be fixed, or killed if one refuses to budge to the way most convenient to society at large.

I’ll be honest. As the selfish, egotistical human that I am... as the human being that is controlled by seeking the pleasure of MY five senses I too would permanently want to get rid of, of someone who causes pain to me or others... I realize my selfishness in that too though, my self-preservation. It’s like I don’t care about how the person causing danger grew up... either you are convenient or no one gives a fuck. The cold hard reality of a conditional life may be the anger that fuels the most cruel of acts on earth. We didn’t choose to exist, we didn’t choose our body, the world, or what it contains... we are just told... ADAPT or die! Be submissive and convenient or perish! And people ARE hurt, and humans are destructive creatures that need to be tamed. It’s no wonder that the places where people aren’t taught etiquette, they’d laugh at the idea of “empathy” or they’d ask, “What the hell is that? Haha!” Each is for their own. It’s hard to grasp this truth, but we must digest it slowly to avoid a greater setback in the future from false expectations.

I can't bring myself to a satisfactory conclusion. I just don't know.

I believe in NYS law and policy. In NYS the criminal death penalty is not allowed. I do think in terms of treason it might be accepted. Too many times a person was put to death and then further evidence leading to the actually criminal was found like 30 years later.

No. Simple for me. Society says killing is wrong therefore society must not deliberately kill people else it loses that argument. I look at it from a philosophical point of view I suppose.

I believe murderers and paedophiles should receive the death penalty, just dont believe in the justice system to convict without error.

I cant, to many innocent men in jail too many killed
I do not trust the justice system to get it right

For pedophiles and rapists. They should be purged. Unforgivable acts.

It doesn't matter what I believe
