Death Penalty?

[Bunnei Bealla]

what is your opinion on death penalties?
are they legal where you live? do you think they are a justified punishment? uwu

[Netaris]

Not legal in my country, but I think in some cases that's justified (terrorists, drug dealers, human trafickers, etc). I think that kind of criminals will never be able to live in a normal society and caused too much damages to be forgiven.

Would you ever kill a person Bunnei, if they let you pull the switch would you do it, thats dark bro.

[ガスト セフィロス]

Crime has continued to exist regardless of it, so it's purpose (to deter) is null and void, and as for it being used as an actual punishment, death is a release... to live is to suffer.

I would do it to a murderer, rapist, CHOMO (Child Molester), these are the types that deserve death and/or torture → any 'Skin Criminal (Skinner)' really, so hand me the switch, I'd pull it on these people and make a living out of it without remorse, guilt, or regret.

not legal, never justified

it's a savage practice that leads to more bloodthirsty societies where criminals are treated as subhuman, people who wish to torture criminals as a form of punishment are not fit for society, imo

Yes it is legal, and yeah I think it's justified. Psychopathic murderers get to kill someone because they thought the painful expression of the person they killed would be funny, then they get to suck up the taxes of actual normal people while they sit in prison? I don't think so. Keeping people like that around is a waste of literally everything from a moral standpoint all the way to a resource standpoint.

Like that lady who submerged her 5 year old son in boiling water because she wanted to. Killed her own son. I'm not shedding a tear over her getting the death penalty.

Big drug trafickers are able to bribe guards and lead their business from their cell. For some criminals, the only way to be certain they'll stop destroying everyone's lives around, is to end theirs.

It's legal in certain states in the U.S. I think it's a justified punishment for monsters.

Root issue, the guards, a system in which there is something to gain, so again, you are failing to see the issue, those sort of people should be getting zero interaction, and fed in a manner similar to an auto feeder for pets, the idea, is for them to be left with their own mind, but this should only be the case for the truly vile.

And destroying lives on a grand scale is what large corporations and governments do, with no accountability, so, again, doing at the lowest level doesn't help anyone on a grand scale, so would you say that killing all those currently agitating everything around them on a grand scale should be put to death?

idk, idk and not really, it's circumstantial. i hope that answers your questions.
truth be told, i'm not in charge of most people.

Ted Bundy raped and murdered over 30 women and escaped from jail twice. Why keep someone like that alive?

You sound like one of these criminals that should be put on Death Row as you are defending vile criminals/animals whom are not fit for society → perhaps you killed someone before and are afraid of the true consequences (or maybe you got released for a vile act against an someone), idk, seems awfully odd and peculiar though.

If you have no penalties, then you will get 'Mob Justice' and USA has this as well in Detroit, MI and Chicago, IL. so do not think you Americans are immune to mob violence/justice.

Best to stay far away from this person just to be absolutely safe...

I don't expect anyone to read this whole thing, but...

I don't know about other countries but over here it's much less a punishment and much more a legal tactic to save the hassle of trial.

"Confess to your crimes and we will take the death penalty off the table"
I watch and read A LOT of true crime stuff. This is a very very very common occurrence.

Ted Bundy was offered life for a confession, he refused, he was executed.
Ditto for John Wayne Gacy
Gary Ridgeway and BTK on the other hand, signed a confession. They're doing life.

This has also lead to the unreliability of confessions. Convince a suspect that you can convince a jury he's guilty, even if he isn't, and he will sign a confession to avoid death. It's has happened.

Then there is the financial aspect. A good expensive lawyer can keep a client off death row virtually 100% of the time. They can't keep them out of prison, but they can keep them off the death row. That means that a convict with deep pockets can buy their way off death row, while someone stuck with a free public defender is screwed.

Finally, and this is more just personal opinion, I am totally against any collateral damage. Some people feel that executing 1000 guilty at the expense of executing 1 innocent is an acceptable loss. I don't. 1 in 1000 is, IMO, too many.

But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Well, I have a different stance. For me, this is a way to neutralise the most dangerous criminals, to ensure they'll never have an opportunity to commit crimes ever again. I tend to be a bit laxist toward the average small thief, you can deal with that kind of profiles. But gang members, drug trafickers, human trafickers, terrorists and so on, those are highly dangerous and are just not worth the risk to keep them alive imo.

you want to to kill them yourself, I'd rather stay away from you personally, you don't sound too different from the people you abhor

I hope you get the mental help you need, just like I hope for rehabilitation for everyone who lands themselves in jail
