Do you support the death penalty for convicted murderers? Assume that the murder wasn't particularly gruesome, but that they were found guilty

Definitely not. The amount of innocent people that would be killed through the death penalty would be way too many

I don’t think the state should have the active power to decide someone’s death, even if that person did something absolutely repulsive and/or killed another person.

1. Death is more pleasant than living in guilt 2. False convictions are too common to enforce death penalty for murder

Death penalty is the easy way out. Let a murderer suffer.

No. Not only is it the cheap way out, but also what mother_russia said😜

i feel like whether the death penalty should be the sentence or not depends sooo heavily on what exactly was committed. imo, it can’t be applied to something as broad as just “murder” yk

No. That’s the easy way out for them. And also killing someone for killing someone is also murder.

Yes. Mainly repeat offenders though. Labor is an acceptable alternative.

The only times I’m really down for the death penalty is multiple convictions of child abuse /pedophilia or multiple convictions of rape or murder (multiple meaning 3+ and each has to be a specifically separate instance at least twice so a triple homicide wouldn’t count)

But even in those cases it would need to be guaranteed that they were the only one who could have committed those acts. Like hard video footage proving it was them type deal

And even video evidence might not be enough in the near future

and what #4 and mother_russia said, only if there is HARD evidence that the convicted is 100% guilty

Almost like the prison industrial complex exists to keep open a revolving door of inmates for private profit and not to actually rehabilitate criminals.
