Innocent people die all the time because the law and/or authorities get it wrong, either children poorly monitored by social services like Baby P, or people killed by others who by rights should be in prison for previous crimes.Isaac_AG":1938x6qx said:
No system is perfect but people proven to have killed should die. We should have a sort of sliding scale though.
Convicted of stealing three times? Hand cut off.
Clean murder e.g. single gunshot to cheating partner? Lethal injection.
Dirty murder e.g. systematic abuse of a child ending in killing? Public stoning and beheading.
It's one of the things that unfortunately will never happen. Despite tougher punishment and/or the death penalty being popular with voters the pussies in Westminster and especially Brussels have decided we shouldn't have it. They want scum inside to have flushing toilets and the vote ffs.

my opinion is this.
if people who committed crimes like murder & paedohilia etc knew there would be a death sentence,
would that be enough to stop them ?
would it prevent that from happening ?
i would agree with a death sentence myself.
that way if someone chooses to commit such crimes they have basically chosen their own death sentence.
locking someone away & spending what most never earn in a year on them, to me is a criminal act.

why does the death sentence always have to be about deterrent only? at some point there are people who should no longer exist and their existance or non existance can only be seen a consequence of their action, a prevention of it happening again and some sense of justice to those who were victims of the crime?

There are plenty of countries where such laws apply. They don't tend to rate highly on the list of places you'd actually want to live, though.

Polling is consistently in favour but politicians won't have it. It's one of the things they consider their opinion to be of more value than the plebs. I'm sure most of us would like income tax at 5% but strangely we don't have that either.
