Capital Punishment---SERIOUS.

I read this article off some forum, and I think that she said exactly what's on my mind. This is serious. Action should be done to prevent this.


Capital Punishment---SERIOUS.
by baller_chick23

Capital punishent, is basically, death sentence. We've seen it happen in the past, and is still being debated on by the world leaders today.

my question is, how do you feel about it?

Do you feel that it is right for a murderer to be killed? do u think that it serves justice to everybody involved?

WEll, i feel that this punishment is entirely based on the Ancient Egyptian's philosophy: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." In order to give a valid input regarding this matter, you have to put yourself in the victim's and the family's shoes. YOu have to see things from their perspective. What would u like to do to the person who killed, lets say, your mother? OF course, you will indescribable hate towards the murderer, right? You will be heavily inclined to have them executed.

It's hard to say what I'd do, given that it has not happened to me or anyboyd close to me, so i dont have the slightest idea of how badly it would hurt to lose a loved one to a murderer.

I do, however, feel that capital punishment, WILL NOT solve anything. it will not serve justice. what would it solve, honestly? would it bring back your dead mother? no. would it make u feel better? like i said, it's hard to say, but i dont think that it would put me in peace. i would much rather have the murderer locked up in jail for the rest of his life, so that he can contemplate on his wrong doings.

another major setback of death sentences is that IT'S IRREVERSIBLE. meaning, you cannot undo it. all the time, people are falsely accused of crimes. what if the 'murderer' that they executed did not do the killing after all? what are they gonna do? NOTHING -- HE'S DEAD. just keep that point in mind.
