The Death Penalty Should be Ended for ALL Cases

For my argument, I will use common sense and facts, with evidence, to support my own argument of why the Death Penalty should not be ended for "All" cases. To begin my argument, let me bring up a real life scenario for the use of the Death Penalty. I am talking about the Boston Marathon Bombing; where one man has killed 3 innocent individuals, and harmed at least 260 people; for watching a race, just because he felt like harming the public. In his trial, he was obviously found guilty and was in determination for his punishment. His punishment being the Death Penalty, where he brought this upon himself; and no one else did. He may have not killed as many people, but the point is that he put harm into the public. So should we just get rid of the Death Penalty for good, or let this man have the "easy" way through prison? The Death Penalty is here for a reason, and that reason is to avenge those who have fallen within society. The main argument that I like to bring forth to the table for this debate is "Self-Responsibility". Self-Responsibility is defined as "A concept of holistic health by which individuals assume responsibility for their own health"; stated under a quick google search for a Dictionary. It is an action that one decides upon for him or herself. No one else controls their body, but themselves; and this goes to any action. Even actions that involve crimes! We can sit here and argue about different races doing different crimes later resulting in the Death Penalty, but the Death Penalty is not hinted towards any certain race. It is mainly aimed towards the "crazy" actions done by criminals in their life. Referring back to my self-responsibility argument, they decided to do those actions on their own; and they should suffer the consequences. To prove that it isn't racially bias, given the link here: . http://deathpenalty.org... it is seen that 56.6% of whites were executed with the Death Penalty, than a combination of Latino's or Black's. To even add more upon my case, I like to show a statistic about the number of individuals within our current prisons. State under the article, "The United States Has The Largest Prison Population In The World " And It"s Growing", it states that within our country 1.57 million inmates are occupying any sort of cell. The most common crime, taken in 2013, involve physical harm. Stated under "Criminal Victimization", the highest number of crimes involve mostly any physical harm to the victim. Examples being rape, assault, or even murder; and the scary part is that at least 1/3 of the inmates are involved in this sort of crime. This is a high number for prisoners and needs to be reduced, hence the reasoning of why the Death Penalty should be used. The Death Penalty will lower the overpopulation of inmates, and actually have room for inmates that deserve to be in prison for drug abuse, and or other charges. As well as protect the more "innocent" of the inmates from the aggression of these violent criminals actions or influence. And also bring along more protection for the public. Stated under another article titled: "52 Percent of Released Prisoners Returning to Incarnation", it states that at least 10% of the 52% of people released were still murderers; and murdered more people than before. Interesting enough, 30% of the prisoners released initially, whose crime was typically Drug Abuse", were arrested with the charges of some violent crime. An example being assault and or murder. In numerous interviews, it was concluded that the people were influenced with the violence within prison. The violence always coming from those who were charged with any assault based crimes. With the allowance of the Death Penalty, the idea to reduce the violence in prison; which can later reduce the possible crime of the public. In conclusion, the Death Penalty is a method the avenge those who have fallen. It all is about self-responsibility, and if the murderer did the crime, he or she will need to face the consequence. It is like anything, you are responsible for your own actions and nothing else. Are we going to let a murderer go "home free" because the Death Penalty is to "harmful", even though it was his or her choice to do the crime in the first place? Certain crimes, I am against the Death Penalty; but for the given debate, we are arguing if whether or not it should be abolished for good. The Death Penalty should only be used to those who have taken a life from another!
