Much of the world wants to see the US destroyed. We earned that, but because of that we pretty much have to make attempts to strike fear into our enemies. I have a problem with America’s history of foreign policy, but I don’t have a problem with the death penalty. I’m of the opinion that certain actions a person can take should absolutely make them fear the consequences of their actions.
Harsh punishment doesn’t deter crime because most criminals are like “of course I won’t get caught” and/or they’re super desperate.
Personally, I think the death penalty ought to be banned simply because the court system isn’t perfect. Innocent people can, will, & have been executed.
So how long until you’re okay with an innocent person being put to death?
Also, why does someone else get the right to choose to end another person’s life? What’s the difference between a man pulling a trigger at a bar killing someone, and a judge deeming they deserve to die for it? What makes the judge have the right to decide who lives and who dies, but some dude in a bar can’t?
