Thoughts on Capital Punishment

[TSO]

Just have a few questions. I'm having a hard time coming to firm stance on this issue so I'm asking for a little help from my sherbors. Nobody I know is going to executed but I saw a vid and got the feels. Anyway if you don't mind answering a few questions I would greatly appreciate it. These questions are aimed at the system in the US, but anyone from outside please feel free to contribute.

1. What do you guys think is a crime that with out exceptions warrants the death penalty?

Anything that would make a person an obvious continued threat to the safety of others.

2. Is there and age too young to sentence someone to die?

Has to be a case by case decision.

3. Are you bothered by the semantics? Such as the legal expenses accrued during the many appeals of most death row inmates, often times exceeding the cost of life in prison.

Are those semantics?

4. Do you think rehabilitation is possible in capital offense cases?

Nope.

5. Do you believe the death penalty deters crime?

Its 100% successful at stopping recidivism.

6. Do you believe race plays a factor in some capital punishment heavy states such as Texas?

It shouldn't, but people do carry prejudice with them everywhere they go.

Thank you guys.

No, thank you...

I wouldn't want an innocent man's blood on my hands. Only in cases of absolute certainy.

It's simple some people do shit do bad the only justice for the victims and their families is death for the scumbag.

Supreme court says 18 as the line and I can live with that but life without parole should be open at any age the person can be held crimanaly responsible.
