Ivan Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 New Jersey doesn't have the death penalty anymore, it's the first state in the USA that doesn't have it. What do you think of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'm moving to New Jersey...nah...not really... I guess the crime rate will go up a tiny little bit there, but I don't think much. Unless criminals would rather get the death penalty instead of get life if they're caught. Who knows.

Kitsune Inferno Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Personally, I think it's total bullshit. When someone gets the death penalty, that usually means they did something to effin' deserve it! Y'know, like kill another person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 New Jersey doesn't have the death penalty anymore, it's the first state in the USA that doesn't have it.What do you think of this? I think capitol punishment is a necessary evil. Charles Manson is currently serving life as California removed the death penalty in '72 while he was awaiting execution for the LaBianca/Tate murders. There is no chance of this guy ever being anything but a violent psychopath & his crimes did merit execution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson At this time there are 12 (I think) states w/ no death penalty (List of states w/out capitol punishment just below chart in link). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punis...e_United_States Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I wish they'd bring back "Cruel and unusual punishment" I thoroughly believe that if someone did something really bad (ala, kill someone) that it'd suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLlamaLlama Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong? Just though I'd chuck that in though. That aside, I'm all for it. A life for a life. Also, My policy on people who commit rape is that they should be castrated. < I'm actually serious, not just taking the opportunity to make a joke about balls.

Wheelman101 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 we dont have execution here in canada, which i think is the most retarded thing ever...my dad always says if a dude kills a cop, cop kills you, but noo...we arrest the dude and put him away for only 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Harry Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 You could kill 2 million people and get 25 years then come out in Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 You could kill 2 million people and get 25 years then come out in Portugal. Yeah, you could kill all the Portugal population and get only 25 years. One of the many reasons this country sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I personally dont believe in the death penalty. If someone rapes or murders someone and gets the death penalty he is getting the easy way out. Whereas if he was to get life he would learn his punishment etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I personally dont believe in the death penalty. If someone rapes or murders someone and gets the death penalty he is getting the easy way out. Whereas if he was to get life he would learn his punishment etc. That is the thing with death penalty. How can you tell if someone deserves a death penalty, or more? See, you kill someone in self defence. Should you be executed? You kill someone just because you felt like it? Should you be executed then? I believe yes, eye for an eye, tho that really wouldn't help the family of the victim. You kill a few people just out of fun. Shall you be executed? Or something even worse? In a 2x2 cell for life. I think here the death penalty is a too easy way out. Tho people who're isolated often commit a suicide. So there is something worse than death. Who wants to be the judge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Yeah, I mean a cold-blooded murder should be pain and suffering. There's people here that get in jail, and when they get out, they'll do something to get back IN (like break a window) So "for life" is definitely pointless for some. They LIKE it in there. It SUPPORTS them. I like the 2x2 cell idea. Food/water optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 The punishment should fit the crime. Some sick SOB rapes & dismembers kids, that's what they should expect. The victims family should have the final say in a condemned criminal's fate. So if you decide to go on a killing rampage, be quick & merciful! Really suck to be a rapist on top of it.

tilly Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 i think the death penalty isnt that bad. if i was to be put away for life without chance of parole, especially if i committed the crime, i would rather have the death penalty. unless there were dirty cops that would let me get away with stuff in jail.

Ivan Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 It's simple, nobody has the right to take another life( there are exceptions), death penalty should exist everywhere. Maybe in those sick murders the victim's family should choose the punishment, that would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Nobody has the right to take a life, with the exception of the goverment who order these people dead? Or the army, stopping your towns being attacked by terrorist groups? I agree with Urban. It should all come down to how the family of the victim wish the criminal to be punished. Some sick SOB rapes & dismembers kids, that's what they should expect. x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX22B1998 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hmm This seems to make sense...I remember asking about "If someone breaks into your house and then you beat them up so they don't steal your stuff or try and kill you etc, then why should you be put in jail or whatever - since you're just protecting your own stuff" @COBHC666 Im sure that you can get life sentences in Australia...they would have to be able to give that.. I also think that the death penalty is the easy way out...obviously they are dead..but..they don't have to suffer like their victim did (ie murder etc) and so they should have a life sentence - although then it comes up of "why should our taxes pay to feed/shelter heartless criminals etc" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Gorilla Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Death Penality was removed here, some few decades ago. The world would be a better place if law abiding citizens were to take the law in their own hands, as long as they don't overdo it.

And, if you believe in Karma, then they're not getting the easy way out. Edited December 21, 2007 by hunter88888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
