I definitely donāt agree with the death penalty in any circumstances. Not only is there always a chance that someone could be wrongly convicted and therefore an innocent person loses their life. But also, in my point of view, there is a fault in the logic of the process. For instance, serial killers took their victims lives, because of their own judgement and choices. Itās something that has always been said that no human has the right to decide to take a life/lives. And yet, that is exactly what executioners do. They take lives based on human decision.
For all intents and purposes, whoever chooses to kill a personā¦ is just as bad as any other person who chooses to kill someone. In using the death penalty itās reducing humanity to the level of those who are being killed.

Um, no, but not for the criminalās sake. I just would like to see them rot in prison where they belong, not at the hands of a needle, getting out so easy.

Only give them the death penalty if they donāt feel remorse and gladly want to live their life in prison.
Then donāt give them that chance to live if theyād like to.
No, idk I just donāt vibe with the death penalty for anybody
For one, way too much margin for error. George Stinney was the youngest kid ever executed in America and HE DIDNāT EVEN COMMIT THE CRIME HE WAS ACCUSED OF
And it isnāt just that, the whole idea just doesnāt rub me the right way.

I donāt like the death penalty for a whole lot of different reasons. For starters, I donāt think it works as a deterrent particularly well. Perhaps there are some cases where Iād be okay with it being used, but the limit would certainly have to be a lot higher than it is now for me to even think about that. My biggest issue with it is that so many people get wrongly convicted of crimes that we canāt even be sure that people are being executed for the right reasons. That is completely wrong and completely unfair.

I think that the death penalty serves a very specific purposeāwhich is why itās always been reserved for pretty extreme crimes. Iām not a fan of the death penalty in general, but I definitely donāt think that it should be used for anything that was not incredibly serious and could not be proven to have been committed by the accused person. I think the major case I can think of where I would at least understand it is if the person would pose a significant threat to society and would risk other peopleās lives if they were not executed.
@Discussions ~ what do you think about this?

Exactly
I would say the death penalty should be given to those who are serial killers. They are a true threat to society in my opinion.

I mean either way the justice system canāt be trusted. Someone gets accused of murder and they lose in court but theyāre not actually guilty yet in their state they get the death penaltyā¦ Yeah, thatās really really bad.
Or, we just outlaw the death penalty and a really bad serial killer gets caught, then goes to jail but either gets a lesser sentence way down the line and is able to get outā¦ or they just straight up escape.

Yep, they need to be punished for the type of killer they are. Itās different when it comes to killing on the run. They actually hunt their kills down usually.

The sheer rate of innocent people put on death row in the US is one of my biggest issues with the death penalty. We shouldnāt sentence people to death for something we canāt even concretely say that they did.
