Gold Member Kivalo Posted November 5, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted November 5, 2019 This is why I don't support the death penalty as a a deterrent. Its just not much of a realistic deterrent. 30 years on death row? That's just stupid. However I do think it should remain legal because some people just gotta be killed, some do shit so terrible that they forfeit the right to live.

It can also be used as a bargaining chip to force a killer to give up the location of a body. Giving the families at least some closure if nothing else.

These type of statements without giving the reasons why is another form of deception of your audience. And the next comment is usually something along the lines of "Is what I said not true?" Why don't you explain why you say it? Edited November 5, 2019 by racer254 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly government funded defense, unlimited appeals... Its not cheap to execute someone these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) So anti- death penalty supporters should have to pay for the entire life of the convict.,., right??? I don’t think anyone should receive death penalty on circumstantial evidence. I think we can fast track some killers, With cameras everywhere now and mass shooters with multiple witnesses.
