Capital Punishment

[ellal]

Give me a child murderer, a locked room and an iron bar and I’d have a bloody good go.

That makes you no better than them...

Forget about the old school days...

You yearn for the iron age!

 

[Mottie]

Well at least we know which side of the cloth you're on...

You mean you didn’t before?

Don’t care. Tell me, what would your punishment for a child murderer be?

This is where ellal quietly disappears into the ether…..

 

[transam]

Smoking gun evidence than execute them

With in weeks of an un doubted guilty verdict

No appeals

Bump em off

Retribution for what they did

Do you mean the old school days when there were no hate-filled religious nutters running round stabbings soldiers, policemen, members of the public and MP's in their surgeries? Those old school days?

No? What days did you have in mind?

Who would decide and how?

Who would decide and how?

As stated the crime is proven without a shadow of a doubt and sentence passed by a judge

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 the goal of dispatching the never likely to be let out is mainly to avoid the cost of keeping them? Or is the death intended to be a punishment too?

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

I would say so, I wouldn't be interested in mental health issues or depression. People have that but don't go to the extremes of killing their family, children of all things.

Both in my opinion, give the victims family some closure rather than allowing them the luxury of prison
