Death Penalty

If a criminal murders someone, should his punishment be murder the same way he killed the victim?

I think so. Life in prison is too much of a luxury.

I agree. We also need the death penalty applied to other crimes. We spend way too much fucking money on the prison system in this country. If I recall correctly every single lifetime sentence costs the government $55,000+ dollars. I understand wanting to punish them and making them live the rest of their life in a cell, but I don't want to pay for it. Either ship 'em off to a deserted island or just get rid of 'em.

You just love bringing up the controversial ones up today and I'm loving it.

The death penalty is morally not good. It's like revenge or getting even, a double edged sword. Logically it makes sense to get even and prevent them from doing any more damage, but really killing people off because they killed others is a little more based on the emotional side of things. There are some studies that say that life imprisonment can be cheaper than the death penalty, which also prevents the execution of an innocent person if they are proven not guilty post-trial.

But fuck em, let's kill em.

I believe that the death penalty is amazing to deter people from committing crimes. It's statistically proven that states with it legalized have a lower crime rate

You know, that's not a bad argument at all.

But jokes aside, all the paperwork and legal processes are a headache, takes up a lot of time, and therefore takes up a lot of money to get an execution scheduled and, well - executed.

Yeah, it's definitely way more simple than just one round haha, just having some fun. It'd be really nice if it were that simplebut as you said the process is quite a bit of work and it can take a while to have undeniable evidence of guilt.

When a murderer kills someone they are punished for their crimes.

when someone kills the murderer they go home to sleep in their bed with their families.

noone has the right to play god - that is all

That's their job though. If they didn't like what they were doing they are more than welcome to quit. No one forced the excectutioner to excute.
