The Death Penalty
An article on the death penalty.
Who is against the death penalty? Why are so many people opposed to the death penalty? Why are so many people opposed to capital punishment when the evil that man does at times is no less capital than the death penalty itself? I have in mind politicians who plunder national resources without regard for the suffering of their citizens, I have in mind those who violently rape children aged six months on the pretext that their minds weren’t working properly, I have in mind those who plan or rather mastermind mass death and destruction, particularly the death of tens, hundreds, thousands of people, without batting an eyelid. These monsters should receive a taste of their own medicine; these monsters should face no less than the death penalty. And in fact the death penalty as conducted the world over isn’t enough. Some crimes need worse punishment than what the so called human rights activists advocate for. Dictators who make their fellow countrymen suffer, leaders who plunder national resources and subject their citizens to death and destruction should be roasted in the city square or hanged on the next lamp post in the street to serve as a deterrent measure to those planning similar plunder. A murderer must be chopped bit by bit into a million pieces and not executed within seconds. They should feel greater pain, they should be made to suffer, and they should face the very crude form of the death penalty, worse than what they have subjected their victims to. 
There is nothing democratic about doing away with the death penalty when those who are supposed to safeguard innocent lives take it mercilessly, there is nothing humane about doing away with the death penalty when man has no excuse to rape a child as young as six or four months. This crime stinks and no excuse should be associated with it. Let us not hide behind religion and say that vengeance is the lords. Let us not hide behind religion and leave the death penalty to the lord, let us not leave capital punishment to the day when our monster who killed thousands of innocent people, who serially raped innocent girls, whose corruption led to the hunger and death of millions in their countries. Let us not save these monsters from the three punishments they deserve: Death penalty, Death penalty, Death penalty!

I don’t support capital punishment as enthusiastic as you do, but I think that it does have a place in the justice system. When a serial killer is sentenced to life in prison with no possiblility of parole, especially if he shows no signs of remorse, and most importantly, there is absolutely no chance that he is innocent,- under those conditions I think that the death penalty might be a better alternative.

Well said. I do not think for example the people who
organised the \”Sebrenica genoside\” deserve anything
other than death ,and I could go on the list grows by the
day.

I agree with Karen. We cannot execute every murderers…that is ignorant and a crime itself. But I am not against death penalty. There are seriously demented and evil killers and rapists that do need to be executed. Provoking and well write article!

I don’t agree with the death penalty.
One simple reason…. if even one man, or woman is put to death…. wrongfully it can never be put right….
yes. Crime is a scourge, on all society’s…. horrible at times, but if we start to top people off, with the blessing of who? it wont be long before, there are those who will inevitably be innocent, and with no come back for them, or the soul. Who pulls the leaver, or pushes the button, same goes for Nuclear weapons No NO no…

I somewhat agree with you but sometimes I am unsure too. Some criminals cannot to corrected no matter how many years they were put into correction cell. But sometime we can kill the crime instead of killing the criminal. Well writen piece.

Matt and Priyanka, thanks for the observations. I advocate for the death penalty as a deterrent measure for the 99 per cent of capital crimes for which we have absolute proof.
