I feel like there's a difference between killing someone and murdering them. Like to me killing is a broad term and murdering is specifically wrong because you weren't justified. That's why people can use self defense as an excuse. And also I mean dang have you seen how hard it is to get someone the death penalty? If they are bad enough to actually be sentences then they deserve it in my opinion. That's why we have a system. Rant over. Also the next two pictures mention murder. Weird.

@Blazzlie, I agree to an extent with this comment. When something on the new pops up about a person who has murdered, or raped, or has done cruel things to animals, I get upset and mad of course. But then I read the comments about how people would kill them or how the person should die themselves or execute them.... And I think to myself "The difference between the person who committed the act, and the person commenting such horrendous acts, is the commitment itself. You're no less insane than the person." Then people always ask if it were me or my family, like they always do. And my response is that I would be full of hatred in the beginning, but hatred begets more hatred, and that gets me nowhere in the future. I do believe however once court and law arrests the person, then the sentence is what the sentence is. Like if someone receives death, I'm not going to fight for his freedom or him being let off. Or if a rapist is let go, I will not argue about the release. I'll just protect.

@Gnarzz, that's why you have to have a unanimous jury decision to put someone on death row. The whole argument of innocent people getting the death penalty is simply inaccurate. I don't have the source but I think there was like one confirmed case of an innocent being executed in recent history in America.

@Peeta Griffin, you can thank all of the left wing softies that think it's too inhumane. I mean a bullet to the head is gross yes, but it's quicker and cheaper than lethal injection. Lethal injection allows the person a few more minutes of crying and suffering (while there is no physical pain there is emotional [which is worse!])

@CaptainSwordsman, yes, but that would make too much sense...there are humanitarians that demand that prisoners be treated fairly and given entertainment and workout equipment. Im all for giving them ball and chains and a sledge hammer and making them do hard labor for the state and make them pay for their meals and for staying there.

@Jaenelle, You do realize th food is complete shjt right? Also, only a select few prisons have pools and those tend to be lower security prisons. How in the world would you force them to pay to stay at the jail? What if they don't pay? They're already in jail. And you can't just say death penalty because some of them don't deserve it. A lot of them do deserve it, but killing someone for certain reasons shouldn't be punishable by death.

@Peeta Griffin, Someone's attacking you or your loved ones and you attack them back in defence, but take it a little too far and kill them. Getting into a random bar fight and hitting someone to where they fall down wrong and hit their head on something. Murders that aren't planned out or psychotic.

@JofferysGhost, I'm familiar with your laws over there... The problem is that criminals don't care if you're not allowed to carry them. That's why they're criminals. UKs violent crime rate is 4 times higher than in US. I feel good knowing I am armed to protect myself and knowing that there are others around me who would do the same for me. Those who are carrying a weapon for heinous acts are less likely to attack me if they know I can defend myself and they know there are others around who will fight back too.
-
@JofferysGhost, it might make it easier, but that doesn't mean it's not already easy for them to get one. What it does do is allow the law abiding citizens to defend themselves. It makes criminals think twice about attacking someone when they know that person could be armed. Outlawing guns only disarms those who would only use it to protect themselves or others.

@Peeta Griffin, how about we ban guns all together, we don't kill anyone, no one is put on a death sentence, and everyone lives happily in peace and we start fixing the problems so that no one has the need to kill anyone else for an unjust reason. I like the idea of a world with no need for guns or killing rather than the world we live in now.

@Gnarzz, so, keep a guy in prison for 40+ years vs 10 years and maybe 3 trials... im very sure that the 10 years is gonna cost less then 40+ years. Also, the only cost would be for possible jurors, if they have a jury on appeals cases, the judge and the prosecutor, which both get paid the same amount no matter whose case they hear or work... the defendent should be the one paying for the defence lawyer and if they afford a defence lawyer and use the court appointed one, its a cheap guy that would have still been used in another case....

@Jaenelle, do some research and come back to me with an intelligent argument. The statistics of evidence found decades later to exonerate convicted "murderers" is staggering. As a civilized society we must have a fail safe to our broken justice system. 1% of executions are done to innocent people. That is disgusting. Innocent people being put to death by a jury of our "peers". I've served on a jury. People are idiots and lawyers are corrupt.
I don't know about you, but I feel it would be cool to use those criminals as guinea pigs in experiments. They'll either die a possibly painful death, or provide us with useful results. Win-win
