Ok. Therefore there should only ever have been one.I approve of the death penalty for serious crimes. It deters other people
If the correct person has been executed.and, of course, prevents the person being killed from doing further bad acts.
Yes, I imagine hanging to do just that.The method of killing should be as humane as possible. Don't forget that humane methods are as necessary to spare the executioners of the death penalty any distress as they are to the executed.
Do you mean anyone who actually wants to do it should be excluded?Those chosen to do the killing should be of impeccable character, of the standards used to select policemen.
What about places that abolished the death penalty 150 years ago and are more peaceful.Without the death penalty, a large proportion of a population will disobey the law.
I thought there was quite a lot of people ignoring it.If anybody doubts this, we currently have a sort of death penalty in operation (i.e. coronavirus) and as a result the vast majority of the population is obeying the law (i.e. "lock down").
What an idiotic comment. Let's hope the innocent one is you and not me.For those who are concerned that some innocent people will be killed by the death penalty, then stop driving, because driving kills thousands of innocent people every year.
Should not your views mean people would refuse to drive?
Why not.? Doesn't it work?Footnote: I don't approve of Saudi Arabia's death penalty though, or of the activities of any other such primitive countries.
