Death Penalty: Your Verdict
Actually 99% of Sun readers (almost 100,000) said they wanted the death penalty reintroduced.
So what do you think? Should they bring back the death penalty and free up some prison cells?

Killing is ending someone or somethings life, murder is doing it illegally.

That's because there are so many petty criminals in there, not because of the type that would normally be sent for execution.

Even better than a remote island, a arena where they particpate in death games live on t.v.
That would actually be amazing.
That would actually be amazing.

Nope, there's a difference between killing someone or something and murder.
Although I can see that it isn't much of a punishment compared to life imprisonment, we do have a teeeeensy problem that is overcrowding in prison.

Nope, there's a difference between killing someone or something and murder.
Although I can see that it isn't much of a punishment compared to life imprisonment, we do have a teeeeensy problem that is overcrowding in prison.
The death penalty may be a deterrant, and indeed a very strong statement, but it can't solve everything; in some cases it's highly inappropriate anyway. The BNP think it should be introduced as a punishment for terrorism; a stupid idea, as by killing those sorts of people they'll potentially become martyrs for their cause. And of course, what happens if the innocent are killed by mistake?
Also, EU membership requires the abolition of capital punishment. As much as I'm not a big fan of the EU, I reckon the benefits outweigh the other nonsense it brings.
Nice to see that the Sun's readership are just as reactionary as ever, I reckon that aside from this and when the Soham murders and other terrible things happen, they're not quite as bothered...

Bring back the Death Penalty for Sun Readers? Sounds a good idea.
In general, though, the Death Penalty doesn't work because we can't trust the Justice System to get it right and then surely if you're killing someone for murder then you should kill the person who executes them too?
Besides, half the people who would be given the Death Penalty would just want it, you're giving them the easy option. I say just make prisons less delightful for lifers. People who say they want the Death Penalty just haven't thought the whole thing through.

yeah why not. Just make sure you know that they are 100% guilty and deserve to die.
Then again, human rights issue...
