Are you for or against the death sentence?

I'm against capital punishment because we can never be confident enough in guilt to be worth taking an innocent person's life.

Against. Society shouldn't decide who lives or dies and it's best to save 1 innocent out of 10 than kill one.

But you'll allow an individual to decide.

@beckyromero I don't recall saying that.

@Ryannnnnn

It's left UNsaid.

We as a society do as such.

Ever murder committed by an individual was a deliberate choice made by the murderer.

@beckyromero Can you elaborate on that?
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@Ryannnnnn

Do you or do you not believe that murderers make a deliberate choice to take a life?
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@beckyromero That was your point?.

@Ryannnnnn

Well, yours was "Society shouldn't decide who lives or dies."

I'm just pointing out that you would deny society the choice that the murderer made: life or death.

@beckyromero It's already in law of the society that we don't make that choice. Can't just throw out what we stand for because someone else did.

@Ryannnnnn Look at it this way, the death penalty is justice served for the one that was murdered in cold blood.

@NativeOregonian Is it? or is it a worse punishment to make them live with what they've done instead of escaping responsibility through death.
