Capital Punishment

[Highway Man]

So?

So technology has changed to prove beyond a shadow of doubt someone is guilty. CCTV footage, gps on cars, mobile phones etc etc

He started a post with a reasonably unbiased question, why not return the courtesy rather than start down the abuse road?

Highway Man did say

I am all for capital and corporal punishment

In 1976 they thought there was no shadow of a doubt of guilt, and more than one judge lamented the fact that he couldn't hang the people who were beyond a shadow of doubt guilty.

Thats 1976 for you.

I see you are out just being irritating and destroying a perfectly reasonable thread where sensible posters can give their opinions to this topic.

He's simply presenting a logical analysis of what you and others who think like you have said, and expressing your desires in equivalent but different words (e.g. 'corporal punishment' Ξ 'beating').

I accept that you may find that irritating.

 

[morqthana]

I believe you'll find the abuse is in the statement supporting capital and corporal punishment...

Not just "supporting". Enthusiastically supporting:

I am all for capital and corporal punishment,

 

[SPLINE]

Not just "supporting". Enthusiastically supporting:

I'm all for punishment in general. There should be more of it, and it should be more severe. It gets things done.

 

[morqthana]

TBH I'm not sure what Highway Man really does believe:

Capital Punishment​

Should we now bring it back? No government seems to want to but what about for people who beyond a shadow of a doubt are guilty of severe crimes, such as Murder, Violent Rape, child abduction and paedophile for those who would receive life sentences, Death sentence only handed out to those who are 100% guilty. Nobody mourned over Huntley when another inmate murdered him, so why not sentence him to death in the first place.

I only see that it has posted 'something', as it is blocked here. Blocked, because I don't wish to waste my time reading the incessant drivel from this poster, who has a desperate need to post and so desperately craves attention. If everyone simply blocked, the poster would have none of the attention, it so craves, and stop bothering the forum with its posts.

And that willy-waving contributes to the debate how, exactly?

 

[morqthana]

Anyhing to say on this topic or is that it?

So is it just the word "random" you didn't like?

If ellal had said you supported beatings and maimings you'd have accepted that?

 

[morqthana]

If they didn't get the guilty score below say 90%, their head would be zapped with a gazilon volts...maybe someone could turn that idea in to a film.

Maybe someone could explain to you that that means you'd be happy with about 1 in 10 executions being wrong.

IRA apologist.

Using intelligence and reason, and ONLY intelligence and reason, please show how that accusation is justified.

 

[morqthana]

So, would we have a higher burden of proof such as 'beyond all doubt' for such cases.

Exactly that, no long drawn out trials costing the tax payer thousands, no legal representation just a priest if they want one.

So a higher burden of proof, but no trial, no examination of this "proof" and no opportunity for the accused to challenge the veracity of the "proof".

No.

If there is no trial, who decides if they are guilty? The Home Secretary?

Highway Man, Pete01, Spline & Transam it would appear.
