Even though I'm for it (and that firing squads are good) you do have a point. It's like that one Batman short where he died because he was captured by a guy that he had put in jail for like 5 years when he didn't do anything wrong. The guy got Batman addicted to some drug and Batman ended up killing himself out of guilt for ruining this guy's life.BuyableDoor said:yeah, the problem with the death penalty is that it's irreversible. you don'tzala-taichou said:You're right, let's just kill them, that'll teach them a lesson they won't soon forget.

want to find out years later you executed an innocent.
And what if the person has been wrongfully convicted. There won't ever be a perfect legal system.SinisterSpade|LH| said:Appeals waste time and money.Virus0015 said:Ever thought about appeals?derdeutschmachine said:I would like to be executed the easy way. right after conviction get an hour with family then go out in the alley and get a bullet in the back of the head. cheap and easy. america should adopt this method. It would lower jail costs exponentially.
And with an apparent disregard for sun cream.SinisterSpade|LH| said:Better than a murderer living life on our dime in a already crowded/bloated legal system.zala-taichou said:To think a 'modern state' still uses any form of execution... *tsktsk*

Like this guy:

Now, now. Do you know for a fact he is a criminal? Did it say on the site from which you got the picture that he is a criminal? If so, disregard this statement. If not, you're judging a book by it's cover. For all you know he could be the nicest, gentlest fucker out there. Just a bit eccentric perhaps.
That wouldn't be much of a punishment would it then?Onyx Oblivion said:Ah. The death penalty. My favorite, and most encouraged punishment for crime. I support it, even in some non-murder cases. Like repeat offenders of certain crimes.
I'd like death by snu snu!
I'm almost 100% certain that all firing squad members are trained marksmen. And I'm also sure that if you are even eligible to be in a firing squad, you've known how to handle a gun for longer than a day, and could easily hit the guy in the head.asinann said:Not if the one guy with an actual live round missed the heart or head.Mechanix said:What's so immoral about firing squad? It's an instant death with pretty much zero pain. I'd rather take that than lethal injection honestly.
Except that they aren't supposed to aim for the head, the face is supposed to be left undamaged for the family. Now hit that heart, good luck.Mechanix said:I'm almost 100% certain that all firing squad members are trained marksmen.

cuddly_tomato said:And yet you disregard the human life of the murderer simply because you don't want "financial burden". It seems to be a fairly obvious double standard.
So, wait, let me understand this. You are not arguing against the death penalty or retributive killing in general, but only against a specific motivation? You say I have the double standard? Nice.cuddly_tomato said:Not morally righteousness, but simple common sense. If one is against murder, then they shouldn't really be sanctioning state sponsored murder of this kind for reasons of financial gain. If you are hateful and angry I can understand that. If you want people who have committed terrible crimes to go in the ground alive or be fed to sharks or something because you don't think they deserve to live - fair enough.
To attach money to this is pretty appauling.
thats not a crime its a public servicebrodie21 said:that is how i might choose to go out if the murders do start.
