saw this thought others may want to voice their opinion in the vote!!! 'Public Execution for All to See': The Message Trump Tweeted That Should Terrify Decarlos Brown
I'm not against the death penalty. I think it's the best deterrent possible. However, given the very real possibilities of a wrong conviction, I'm only in favor of it when the evidence is concrete. And, I think that is a very high standard. For example, that POS that killed Iryna Zarutska was caught on video. Up close. There is no question as to whether he did it or not. Why is irrelevant. His past doesn't matter. His upbringing doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that he murdered her. Every breath he takes is an affront to her memory. When the evidence is not absolute, then life without parole. If it turns out the conviction was based on faulty evidence, or evidence was suppressed, or whatever, the conviction can be reversed and the person convicted released and compensated for time served. Compensation should be very high. Anyone knowingly complicit in the railroading of such a person should take their place in prison.
public executions would be of limited consideration - wouldn't phaze POS like we are seeing - we are dealing with 3rd World trash - trash soooooooo bad the home trash wanted it gone ...... the knifing on the train was bad - see the guy that killed and beheaded the victim? - then walking around carrying the head? >>> that kind of stuff is fairly common south of us - except they do an entire busload of people and decorate a bridge with the heads . ..... not going to have much of a dissuader that'll even begin to influence that kind of mental & moral hardening .....
The specter of a public execution would do little to deter crime and only serve to back us up as a species. I would rather see executions remain private but increase in both volume and swiftness. 20 years on death row is a joke.
I would definitely like the return of the death penalty if for no other reason as @Macgyver pointed out there is no repeat offenders. However, I totally agree with @cpaspr that the evidence must be complete and rock solid. I also would like to see the return of flogging for other crimes before they start their prison term and believe making it public would be a huge deterrent.
I like this with the caveat of life without parole is in total solitary confinement, or perhaps extremely brutal work with no human contact. If he doesn’t meet the quota, then he don’t eat. Water only. Jim
If the Charlie Kirk shooter now in custody is found guilty beyond a shadow of doubt, and his sentence is the death penalty in Utah, then it should be by firing squad. Because of the nature of his crime, he should not be given a choice.
I'm thinking more death penalty for All capital crimes, including drug dealers and terrorist! I want to see hard time for these criminals, no three gots and a cot, you work your ass off each and every day providing useful production of something, and for the hard criminals, that should be hard labor, the kind that doesn't garenteed you don't loose parts of your body whilst doing it, no T.V, no Internet, no luxuries what so ever, not even a 20 year old newspaper! I want to see maximum sentencing, especially for violent crimes, drug dealing, and the like, no more of this out in 5 or 10, or good behavior, or what ever, you do the FULL sentence, or you expire in jail, which ever comes first! No more prison for profit, make it state ran, state funded, and the criminals production pays the state back for the costs, no more easy gov grants either!
As to public executions, I would reserve those for the most brutal of crimes, as well as political/military traitors and those that aid and abet them! Those should be done publicly, either Ol Sparky, or some other quick yet painful method, no gas chamber, no lethal injection, lip some heads and mount them on pikes says me! Other death sentences can be carried out in the ways a state prescribes, and ALL 50 states must institute the death penalty, no more of this bleeding heart crap, criminals have rights bullshit! You do the crime, you got no rights what so ever, period, HARD STOP!!!
Ura-Ki - I must respectfully disagree. Here is why. Will a public execution deter anyone else so twisted as to commit such a heinous crime as to warrant public execution? Highly doubtful. In fact, it might encourage some of them to try to outdo the last heinous offender so executed. Remember those two POS in Columbine, Colorado? They were trying to outdo that POS from Thurston High in Springfield, Oregon. And yes, I know their names, but will not dignify them by naming them. Let such POSs be eternally forgotten. No, executions should be witnessed by the victims families if they wish, and representatives of the state, then said murderers should be buried in unmarked graves. No, save the graves for humans. Burn the bodies, and dump the ashes in the trash.
Well, I tell you this...if someone murdered my wife on a subway when she was coming home from work. I wouldn't just want to see them die, I would want to spit in their face and be allowed to pull the trigger, switch or etc. or better yet just leave their death to me. I also think that public executions in itself might not deter the crazies, but it could serve the public in many other ways. 1. Dying horribly in the public eye for your parents, children, wife, etc. to see... it's shameful and many of the last words of criminals are of apology to family members for what they have been put through. In public will be more so because the entire world would know not only them but also their family. In itself, this might act as a deterrent in some cases, not th mentally insane or even the emotional killings but certainly ones with forethought like premediated or done during robberies. 2. No repeat offenders, no drain on the system...this is obvious one. 3. No one is forced to watch a public execution if they don't want to...or public flogging, or chopping off of hands... 4. It also acts like a padlock. A padlock doesn't stop a thief. It stops an honest man from doing wrong. 5. Justice swift and horrible is a huge deterrent. Many third world countries use it, and it works, it doesn't stop crime completely, but otherwise they would be overrun with crime. I'm a big proponent and advocate of the return of the guillotine to public use. The last public execution by guillotine was in 1939 (France, of course), but it was used in private executions until 1977. Now look at the crime in France...they should bring it back. So much for being civilized.
