Do you believe in capital punishment? If so, are you willing to be an executioner?

No. First, nobody, not even a murderer deserves to die. Second, it's around 6ish times more expensive than LWP. Third, no matter how solid the evidence against a defendant is, there's always a chance the person is innocent. Fourth, areas with the death penalty had similar rates to other areas without it, rendering it ineffective in preventing crime. And fifth, I heard of a story of a man in Alabama was gonna be executed, but didn't die from the lethal injection. He was in agonizing pain, and they waited until another day to try again.

Yes I am for it and I think we should bring it back in the UK not sure I have the stomach to deliver the punishment though

[NathanDavis]

it brings me conflict...

I am not against it, in some cases... because I do think it is for the best in extreme cases

but to think, and to feel are different things, I don't feel good about the idea because everything involving these things is just quite unfortunate

so no, I would never want to be the one killing people, that's a very VERY high price to pay

[Guardian45]

Depending on who for what, I might NOT lose a minute's sleep about it!

[NathanDavis]

@Guardian45 I'm closer to many of them... lol

so I definitely have to lock doors and windows, before I go rest

[Guardian45]

Wdym?

[NathanDavis]

@Guardian45 cartels... lol

[Guardian45]

Oh right! They should fear you: "El Verdugo"!

[slatyb]

I don't. Not everyone convicted of a capital crime is guilty. In the US capital punishment has a very ugly history.

[goaded]

No. There's far too high a chance of executing an innocent person, and life in prison is more of a punishment. It's forever.

[goebenbreslau]

killing someone for punishment would be her/his salvation
it's better to prison her/him forever

[Guardian45]

Yes, for the Most Heinous Crimes, like rape, pedophilia, insurrection, traitors. I would GLADLY push the button, flip the switch, throw the trapdoor, kick the footstool, or drop the guillotine without a second of remorse or regret.

[Guardian45]

Oh, I forgot mass murderers or serial killers too!

[exitseven]

Yes, capital punishment should be in every state. I would throw the switch on old Sparky to fry some murdering child , molester.

[Cubus]

I support in extreme cases. I believe in some cases it's right in some cases, but I don't believe you should use it too often

[Anonymous]

Yes and yes. It’s not justice to feed and house violent mass murderers with total mercy while they had absolutely no mercy on the victims.

[Anonymous]

Yes and yes, just let me have free reign on what I do

[Still-alive]

no and maybe...

[MrTaboo]

Yes and yes. Bullets are cheap

[OddBeMe]

Nope and maybe…

[msc545]

What are you responding to here. This response doesn't seem to make much sense.

[OddBeMe]

I don’t believe in CP but I would be an executioner….

[msc545]

If you don't believe in it why would you do it?

[dudeinohio]

Yes and yes
