Why is it wrong to kill criminals?

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

You want to do crime then you should be aware of the consequences. Death. Look life it hard as it is for working people but those criminals who look to do crime and victimize honest hard working everyday people should be shot and killed plain and simple. Give me one good reason why it's wrong to kill criminals who make a choice to do crime? What is your sad excuse of a poor life style a good reason to screw hard honest working people and families. As far as I am concerned one less criminal on the earth is one saved soul from evil.

to me, I honestly don't care, but i'm still against capital punishment basically because wrongful convictions happen. in the past century, it's been rare, but there have been enough cases of it regularly enough to realize that statistically it will happen again. it's inexcusable to kill an innocent person. if the person gets a life-sentence instead, at least there's a chance that they will later be proven innocent. cases like that have also happened. it's absolutely ridiculous but the justice system obviously makes mistakes.

imagine killing a completely innocent person because you thought they were guilty of something that someone else did. "oops my bad" doesn't bring an innocent person back to life.

Death would work for most crimes. Some crimes would require a different approach. Murder, manslaughter, rape, pedophilia, assault, selling drugs and a few others all could be conviction is death. Stealing, robbery, grand theft, scamming etc I would say remove the hands or cut the tongue out.

Just one? Okay. Because you might end up killing an innocent person. Juries and judges get it wrong sometimes you know.

[RainbowMarinade]

And….. you trust the government to properly apply this death penalty?
LOL. You are a trusting soul. 😱

the justice system is not perfect. People who can afford lawyers rarely get the death penalty. People with public defenders are more likely to get the DP.

People who kill white people are more likely to get the DP than people who kill black people.

As of February 2nd, 2024, the Innocence Database maintained by the Death Penalty Information Center shows 196 exonerations of prisoners on death row in the United States since 1973. Some of those people were on death row for many years.

The US is the only country in the top 10 of executions that's not an autocracy or theocracy

I am 100% in favor of the death penalty, castle doctrine, and stand your ground laws. This idea that you can't defend yourself is ridiculous, and the DAs who prosecute law-abiding citizens for defending themselves from criminals should all be burned alive.

[madewithingredients]

I agree with you about castle doctrine and stand your ground laws, but killing someone to defend yourself is a separate issue from the death penalty.

[KokoroRamen]

Depending on what the crime was, most of them need to be killed.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Everyone commits a crime. So by your logic humanity goes extinct next Monday.

[AngryCarl]

Killing another person is a crime. You just made yourself a criminal so now you can be shot on sight. You see how that works?

[Sabretooth]

Not all of it is so clear cut. I agree with the death penalty in cases where the perp clearly has no remorse.
