Stop the Nonsense: Why We Need the Death Penalty
by Reason’s why the death penalty should be allowed to continue. Why we should use lethal injection over other modes of execution.
It never ceases to amaze me how as a society we can be so wrapped up in our causes and beliefs that we forget the big picture. Of course there are two sides to every story and every issue and I will not be right to some or wrong to others in my opinions and beliefs but we must think these things out.
I do not know of anyone who wants for someone to have a life of crime. I wish the world could be crime free as well. We have to all agree on the fact that this is not going to happen. There will always be criminals as long as there are people living. What defines a criminal worthy of the death penalty?
We are certainly not wanting to advocate the death penalty for someone who shoplifts or drives a vehicle in excess of the speed limit. There are some though that would argue that murder, rape, and even other harsh crimes should not be punishable by death. This is where I start to disagree. Even though there have been cases where DNA evidence has freed someone convicted of a crime I do not feel that it is a reason to abolish the death penalty.
We could relax the laws and let all evidence be tested that is in custody for all inmates on a death row and then we would be done with it. People who are arrested now can have their DNA evidence in court if it falls in line with the rules of evidence. Sure, it would take years to do the old testing; so what, it takes years fro all appeals to be exhausted in most states anyway.
The first thing to remember when that man or woman is convicted of a crime worthy of the death penalty is the victim and the victims family. A majority of death penalty cases involve murder as at least part of the crime. Was it fair that the victims life was cut short? Was it fair that their family has to go on living without the victim in their life anymore? I should think not. That would be utter nonsense on the face. Everyone deserves the right to live and I dont think anyone could ever come up with an argument against that. What do we do with the person or persons responsible for ending someones life?

I highly recommend the death penalty after these strong points were addressed. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

Well said! I am 100% behind every thing you wrote in your article. The article was very well writer. The only thing I would like to see is quicker DNA testing on people that very well may be sitting in prison for years and are innocent. Many States have already released over 200 folks that were innocent thanks to DNA testing, 13 folks were released from death row. If you have the time please feel free to read my article “Innocent people released after DNA testing” Once again you wrote a wonderful article

We always seem to rethink on the hard fact when it comes to the death penalty. How do we serve justice by giving you no freedom? keeping them locked up for the rest of there lifes? Hell no when it’s proven you have commited this hanse crime and are sentenced to death it MUST be done in a timly fashion not years and years later trying to save the criminals.
Our prisons are human zoo’s keeping the vicious animals in and away from the public. We are over crowded now. Here is a thought If you know as a society that when you commit crimes punishable by death and they are carried out in your set date would you not think more about the crime you commit? Knowing full well you WILL Die for your crime no if’s and buts about it. I think yes. We live in a world where we want to save everyone well foks there are some the are dammed to there souls and have no feeling about killing someone. We are a scociety that hold no one resopndsable for there actions any more. Oh they have a bad life are poor, underprivlaged, uneducated,or are just worped indaviduals. Well lets look at the ture issues we have failed our citizens if we can not hand out justice for your behavior. It’s a free for all we no longer care about one another. Have no respect for each other it’s a me me world. We see, play and live violence every single day mostly it our childern they are so desensitized to the curlty of others they feel little remores for there actions.Ok I’ll stop you have a great paper. I am for the death penalty 100%
