it is slightly more humane because at least they don’t feel fire coursing through their veins. look up botched lethal injections and read the stories.

I’m operating under the view that capital punishment still being a thing in 2026 is insane so I stand by comment.

The government putting people to death is inhumane regardless of what method they use.

Some people do not deserve to be walking this earth. If you harm a child you don’t deserve life. If you’re a rapist, you don’t deserve life. There’s some crimes that are simply unforgivable.

Botched firing squad is far less likely to happen than a botched injection. All you need to do it aim at the heart and it’s done.

The issue isn’t whether some crimes feel unforgivable. It’s whether you trust the government to make irreversible decisions without ever being wrong.

Well seeing as it isn’t the government who makes that decision but a jury. Yes I do trust it.

A jury doesn’t eliminate mistakes, it just spreads responsibility. Wrongful convictions still happen. Even in serious cases.

Maybe, but the government shouldn’t have the power to decide who deserves to live.

Are you dense? The government doesn’t decide that. A JURY does.

So we should just let heinous acts slide with life in prison (that costs the taxpayers a TON of money) because there’s a small percentage chance that it could be wrongful? Given the digital age we live in evidence is not hard to come by. This would maybe make sense before we had the tools we have today but the odds of that happening now are incredibly low. If you show disregard for human life or wellbeing then you can expect the same treatment back.

The ā€œdigital ageā€ hasn’t eliminated wrongful convictions. DNA exonerations are still happening. And if anything, the death penalty costs more because of appeals. So you’re arguing for a more expensive system that can’t correct its mistakes.

I promise you appeals do not cost as much as housing, feeding, and clothing a person for the rest of their lives😭

And I didn’t say it eliminated them, it’s such a low chance of happening now that people who are convicted of heinous crimes most likely did it and therefore don’t deserve anymore time on this earth

So you think someone you rapes a child shouldn’t be put do death because ā€œhe might not have done itšŸ„ŗā€

Wrongful convictions aren’t hypothetical. People have been exonerated from death row with DNA evidence. And on cost, multiple studies have found the death penalty ends up being more expensive because of trials and appeals. So it’s a system that’s both riskier and more costly.

You also keep saying the chance is ā€œlow,ā€ but not zero. Once you admit that, you’re arguing that some innocent people being executed is an acceptable tradeoff.
