Just more proof that the death penalty is inhumane
So is cold blooded murder, they are subhuman.
Just more proof that the death penalty is inhumane
Being dead also doesn't give you a chance to learn from your mistakes, or seek retribution through trying to fix the problems of society through your own experiences. It has a more powerful message seeing someone learn from their mistakes in a lifelong jail sentence sharing his sorrow and grief and anguish for the crimes he did than it does just killing them. Other than the fact that consented murder is absolutely vile in my opinion.
Someone who rapes and kills an 11 month old, doesn't deserve the chance to learn from their mistakes, or seek retribution. They deserve to die in the most foul, horrific, painful way imaginable.
I truly believe that, if that makes me barbaric then so be it.
Ok, so if someone is a serial killer, you think they've learned their lesson after the first victim?![]()
However I think it is important to think how would the victim feel? Personally I'd want my murderer to suffer as much as I did and then also find out what it's like to die, painfully.
It is black and white, he killed and raped so he is now dead and cannot do it again.
Sure it is quicker than a being locked up but the jails in UK esp. are like holiday camps today.
Swap from drugs to a bullet, cheaper and faster, the EU.

Execution is generally more expensive than life without parole ...

Execution itself is not expensive, it's the additional court process in the US system which is expensive. These costs can be cut significantly.
I think it's really rather macabre and a shame looking at the cost of someone's life in terms of their execution :/
Remember you still have to have the witnesses to see this barbaric act - it's something they have to live with for the rest of their lives. Seeing someone die in front of you is not a pleasant experience - I doubt that whether or not they were a good or bad person makes it any different.
Do not know the figure now but decades ago it was about £33k per head per year to keep a prisoner in UK, how can death cost more?
And that was before they has TV in cells and Sky etc.
Don't you think fact tracked executions may create a few additional problems & we would see a large increase the number of innocent people being executed?.Get rid of all that circus BS and just kill them after trial not 10-30 years later.
Cannot read 2nd part, sorry.
shouldn't this count as a cruel or unusual punishment, I mean potassium infussion without local anesthetic is very unpleasent, even if the vein blew. Not sure what the other drugs are beside midazolam, think i remember reading hydromorphone.
But dieing that way would certainly be extremely painful, no matter what the guy did, the punishment was death, not torture and then death.
It was a poor choice of drugs to be honest. I really don't know why they chose midazolam and the vecuronium in the doses they do - there is no logic behind it.
I don't think it makes you barbaric, it just makes you have a different opinion to mine, which is perfectly fair.
I just do not believe in revenge/eye for an eye type of justice.
I'm not saying I'm right, I just have a very different outlook on these things.
