would they really hang them though??? or woudl they change it to like death by lethal injection or gas etc. somethign more modern ya know?

ould of thought lethal injection           we are too far on in this country to hang

maybe tho

I dont think we should have the death penalty.

Firstly, there is always the issue of s/he could be innocent.

Secondly, there is the immoral, hypocritical argument, I guess some people could say that its figting fire with fire, but a modern day government shouldn't really be thinking that it is ok for them to kill people, but not okay for other people to kill.

There has also been research suggesting that the death penalty isn't a detterrent for muders and rapes etc...

Also, whatever you might say, the murderer's family are not murderers, therefore killing someone would inflict torument on the people who didn't really do anything wrong.

And I think that it is a far more effective punishment to put someone in jail for 30 years, they will have 30 years in which to think about what they did, 30 years of being seperated from their family and friends.

Yeah, I agree. I think people who have committed multiple serious crimes and who are truly threats to society should get the death penalty.

i think that the death penalty is like playing to be God, cause they think they know who can live and who can die, and people that comitte bad crimes like killing people and things like that are people that are crazy and even they deserve to live, cause living is the greatest gift we have and know one has the right of taking that it off on other people

Well if this murderer kills one person he should be kill as well just like the old saying eye or an eye. But if he kills more than one person he should rot in jail and be tortured and never let out and make that time of his life like hell so quick and painless death is better than torture

I  think yes we should have it for muderers and such because if they have they right to take away one (or many) peoples lifes i think we should kill them insted of us paying for them to live in prision for the rest of their life.
