Death penalty

some countries abolished death penalty : who is still FOR death penalty ? Why some lawers are AGAINST ? how many people wait for death penalty in California ? No death penalty in Paris -France, is it less secure than downtown Los Angeles ?

I'm against it.

I am for death penalty! You know, there are so many maniacs that have killed a lot of people and why do we allow them to live? And i think it's a good thing they're waiting for their death, because they have some time to think what they have done and repent their sins...

Hi ivbel,
It’s very good to give them time to think what they have done and repent their sins.
Basically I am against death penalty like I said.
1) Nobody can decide who deserve to die.
2) Maniacs don’t think twice about killing somebody to remember the death penalty.
3) Somebody has to push the button to kill the death-row prisoner. Who wants to be the somebody?
4) The most cruel thought in me is this, which I’ve never told anybody but my husband. The maniac should live the hardest life in the cell. Like the minimum food to live and no treat of sickness or injury and no sunlight. Give them an only easy time. It is the time to do something for people, maybe some work or serve someone’s need. They live so called living death.
5) Live or die, God, Buddha, the power of the universe will punish them, I believe.
However, for victims’ family, what’s the best? What comforts them most? It’s is the most important thing, I think. It’s a very difficult and controversial problem.

I don't think deth penalty can reduce amount of crimes and make people feel more safety. I'm against it.

Exactly.
I'm all for it, Kostantin.

Mayumi.K, but i pay taxes every month and the government spend my money on these prisoners! I don't want to pay for their lives!

I know, ivbel. That's a good point.
Not only for the criminals on death row but for those who haven't convicted yet or petty criminals, you have to pay, I'm afraid.
