taking a life is never right, especially not for malice or revenge, people who want the death penalty are twisted. Let human rights be a basic provision for all, and let our focus be on the victims. Murder on their behalf will not alleviate the damage done to them, lets focus on their NEEDS a different way. Cant believe people on here want to move back to an antiquated system of capital punishment.
would you want a state that can legitimately murder?

#11: heart and mind - why

The Death Penalty is not there for Revenge or Malice, it's quite simple when you look at it, if you take a life then your own human rights should not be granted. Over £45,000 a year is spent on one prisoner while they are serving time inside (paid for by the taxpayer) these include prisoners that are Terrorists, Child Killers, Peadophiles, serial killers etc etc. Some of which are serving a full life sentence so i ask you £45,000 a year on some prisoners that will never ever be released is that money wasted or well spent? Also regularly you hear of prisoners who have got to inmates inside and slashed them or prisoners that go on hunger strikes etc, news which is then put through the Media and the victims families get to hear, why would they want to hear this when all they want is closure and the rest of their lives to remember their victims through good memories and not to have it disrupted. Capital Punishment can be issued in 4 Humane ways which is quick and less painful. If you believe that Capital Punishment shouldn't exist and the current Justice System is correct then that's your opinion and i respect that, but we also have nearly 100 signatures of peole who disagree.
