I think capital punishment works great. Every killer you kill never kills again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that the death penalty is an effective penalty.
I have also seen it stated that Capital punishment is murder in its worst form. I should like to know upon what principle of human society these assertions are based and justified.
I am passionately opposed to capital punishment, and I have been all my life.
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
I support capital punishment. But let's be clear: It's a decision for each state to make.
I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.
I don't believe in killing people. I believe in locking you up for the rest of your life.
Everybody believes that capital punishment is wrong, but when they look at certain cases, they're quick to say, 'Put them to death,' or scream 'capital punishment.'
As long as you have capital punishment there is no guarantee that innocent people won't be put to death.
I don't agree with capital punishment as it is now, because too often mistakes are made. But I think that if you eliminate the mistakes, then there are times when it is justified.
