Oh great. Man this part of our history is going to be reflected well. I can't think of any country's government in history at the same time going through some sort authortian bend and prosecuting minorities using gas as an execution method.

Nope
Not at all.

Fuck the United States.

What punishment would you give to the baddest people on earth? For someone that's evil and done horrific things, the bible calls for an eye for an eye (Book of Exodus 21:23–27).

Maybe if these evil people didn't commit the crimes they did, then there would be no need for justice, but they did and people deserve justice, so do the victims.

The reason USA has so much crime is because people aren't being punished for the crimes they commited. They will be judged at some point though and if not in this life then they will be at the end of their lifes. Nobody beats the reaper and nobody escapes the justice of God.

They're missing a trebuchet being added to that list.

And they call themselves a "civilized society"?, what a joke!

Meanwhile United states law makers trying speed run making trans people *existing* a felony. Can't possibly imagine at allllll that they would say that it be punishable by death.

I mean ffs. In some states being trans and using the wrong bathroom has a higher level of punishment than fucking publically unirating.

So no. Idc. Let them rot in jail if they are that bad.
Because it gives recourse to those who are actually punished unfairly. At least a chance.

I'll be honest, if I had the choice of Scaphism or being put in an Oubliette or getting shot by firing squad. I'd pick the firing squad. Luckily we live in a modern age where death can be swift. If you go back through history some people have faced some awful tortures and deaths (probably like the victims of those being executed). Even today living in many Middle Eastern countries or African countries or even China/North Korea and a few others, getting shot seems like a relatively good way to go out in comparison.

It was only a few decades ago that it was seen as a mental illness in USA - it still is in many parts of the world and punishable by death.



In fact in UK world war 2 hero Alan Turing was chemical castrated, as were many gays. That was the law then and you were expected to follow the law.

The only place in the middle east you can be a "trans" is in Israel. I doubt you'd survive any longer than a week in some other places.

If you want to live in some sort of a mad max world with no laws and anyone could do anything they wanted, most people would be dead in no time, there would be no shops, nobody would go to work, rapes/murder/torture/slavery would be rife. The strong would survive and the weak would be dead. These crimals the OP mentioned would be dead long before a firing squad got anywhere near them. Luckily for them, the justice system is protecting them for now, because if people didn't follow the law and were able to take their own revenge, these criminals would be begging for a firing squad.

Why stop there? Why not dip them slowly in acid and keep them alive as long as possible as their limbs are ripped off and their flesh ripped apart? Why not cook their flesh and devour it while making their families watch?

You're a psychopath. All of you MAGA types are.

MAGA Types? I'm from UK not USA. Maybe you should explain what punishement you would like to see these evil people on death row receive instead of trying to spin it into something political.

You don't get to decide whether your post is political when you post in the politics forum.

You don't give a shit about justice. Lie to me, but don't lie to yourself. You don't really care. It's just a convenient excuse to kill people in brutal ways and then convince yourself it's justified. This is why you types want every man, woman, and child to own and open-carry guns, so you have an excuse to shoot and kill "the right people".

What the hell are you talking about? Tell me what form of "justice" you would give to these evil people on death row. You haven't done that at all. All you've done is try to change a topic on justice into something politcal and then started going off topic and waffling on about MAGA and guns......neither of which apply to me or my country.

You won't give a straight answer on how the victims or victims families of these monsters should get justice, because you don't have an answer. The justice system has the answers and so does the law. The law is based on the teachings of the Bible and the roots of the USA justice system in based on Bible teachings, the Bible teaches us the murder is wrong, which most if not all people that are handed the death sentence get it for. An eye for an eye or a life for a life is apt in this case.

How convenient for you to throw the "not my country" card after you just posted your opinion in a thread involving US law. You chose to have an opinion on US law. You don't get to use that as an excuse now. Either own it or shut the fuck up.

And you dodged everything I just said about how you don't give a shit about justice. You don't a shit about the victims, or their families. Your desire for the death penalty, especially deaths from brutal methods described in the OP, is entirely selfish. You want an excuse to kill someone in a brutal way, because it gives you a psychotic, bloodthirsty high. You're in it for the thrill of the kill. The fact that it's being done to murderers is little more than a convenient cop-out for your conscience.

Pretty sure "murder is bad" exists in virtually every civilized justice system on Earth. The bible didn't invent that.

Once again you are dodging and weaving and failing to offer any sort of alternative solutions, instead your post contains nothing more than the ravings of mad person with no ideas. Luckily you're not in any sort of position to offer solace or justice to the victims of these criminals and luckily there are people that are.

You are about to go on my ignore list as I can tell from reading the few posts you made in this thread that you're not really the kind of person I'd like to converse with. Goodbye.

I love how you're acting blissfully ignorant as if we haven't had literal decades of independent study on how the death penalty is ineffective at deterring crime and that rehabilitation has worked really well in other countries. But sure, let's just ignore that for some vague, pretentious notion about "justice for the victims".

Victims of violent crime don't pray for death for the perpetrator. They pray that nobody else gets hurt. That's a very different thing.

It's amazing how you word this as if it's some epic own.

I know you're reading this, despite "ignoring" me. I've dealt with enough people like you to know exactly how this is gonna play out. You're gonna reply to this post, despite saying you were done, and at the end, you're gonna say "I'm done, goodbye" again, hoping that you get the last word this time. Sorry, but you're not gonna get it. So go take your psychotic bible-humping ass elsewhere.

Eh, if I got the death penalty, I'd rather get the firing squad, than lethal injection. I'd rather get lynched than lethal injection. lol

Then again, if I did get the death penalty, I doubt the gov would give a shit what I think.

 

[DiscostewSM]

Why do I get the feeling that this could lead up to federal executions being performed by ICE while they are on duty in the streets? Folks like Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti were basically executed in public.

Okay, irony on you saying "spin into something political." I hope you can at least admit you set yourself up on that since you did enter a political form.

Here's my problem. Definition of evil is dependent on the one who is using it. Like if it was for bombers, then, one can conclude that they should be on death row and executed. However, you and I, don't decide that.
What happens when the state/government, starts redefining what "evil" is.
reminder, the us government earlier wanted put Luigi on terrorist charges.

Class struggle can be defined as "evil"
minorities can be defined as "evil"
Because the word "evil" and thus, who dies, is decided by who has power in the government, and it is simply too easily weaponized. I wouldn't want that power in left or right spheres. It just opens up to abuse far, FAR, too easily once execution gets involved.

Anything that is against the state in some form, could be defined as a punishment worth death. And what you get is the loss of a democracy.

Prison for life is the better option, opens recourse if the person was wrongly incarcerated/framed, while removing that severe member out of society if they earned it. It's not perfect, but it's a better solution.

There is literally decades of data to show this isn't true. I mean, the US already has the death penalty, shouldn't that at least be enough to reduce crime below other countries by your logic?

The opposite happens, in many cases. A legal system whose only purpose is badass retribution to make those on the right side of it feel cool, somehow those rank dead last in terms of actually preventing crimes.

In the last 55 years only 1662 criminals have been executed in USA. That's not high when you consider the current population today is around 349 milion people and if you added all the people that have died in USA in that 55 year period you'd be well over a billion. So 1662 executed out of a billion+ people isn't a lot. In the same period over a million people have been murdered, roughly around 1,150,000 people.

In general most people never face equal retribution for the crimes they commited. Only the worst of the worst ever face execution and looking at the stats there's lots of victims that never see any justice and a lot of criminals that are getting away with their crimes.

You might be more concerned for the murderers well being, but I am more concerned for the victims. In my opinion there should be more firing squads and executions and I don't really care at all about the criminals. I don't have a single cell going through my body that feels any pity for them, it's only the victims that get my pity.

Great... More reasons to avoid the usa. Now the justice system isn't just unfair, it's potentially lethal as well. Lemme guess... I'll give it less than a month until Trump wants to execute people who criticize him.

Meanwhile, other countries manage to have less crimes without death sentences. How does your God justify that? I mean... I'm fairly sure that Jesus guy preached about love and understanding.

... You're sure you're not accidentally worshipping the devil, right?

But that logic doesn't work at all. You're arguing we just need more executions, the US isn't doing enough of them for it to work.
So, surely going the other way, it would be worse if they did even less? Like, for example, the UK?

As for your weird moral accusation against me, I would actually say life in prison is a worse fate than instant death, but it was an irrelevant attack anyway.

A lot of countries have less crime because they have a smaller population and a different way of thinking. I don't speak for God so you can ask him questions yourself if you're ever going to be lucky enough to meet him.

As for your first sentence, one could equally say a lot of countries that do have the death sentence have far less crimes because they use it without keeping criminals in prison for decades before executing them.
