Death Penalty

I will answer each of your arguments in the order you posted them. Murder-1: the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought Justice-c: the administration of law The death penalty clearly isn't murder, but rather justice, because it isn't unlawful, and it is the administration of the law. We don't use the death penalty to make the person scared, we use it to serve justice, and prevent anyone from ever doing what they have done again. We serve justice to make our country safe, not to make criminals pay for their crimes. If we wanted them to pay we wouldn't spend so much tax money on prisons. You state that you can be aqquited wrongly, but yet you don't deserve the punishment? That doesn't make sense. Please show me where exactly in the Constitution it states that the death penalty shouldn't be allowed. Cruel-1: disposed to inflict pain or suffering Unusual- not accordant with usage, custom, or habit The death penalty is used in a way which is quick, and painless, also it has been around for centuries upon centuries, and is not at all unusual. We shouldn't take away the death penalty because it is used unfairly, does that mean we should take away prisons too? Economic status, and race can effect sentence time, and whether or not you go too, then should we ban colleges? The poor can't afford college, it is clearly unfair to them. Maybe what you meant to say was that the administration of the death penalty should be better regulated. Same as above. Being wrongly convicted is nearly unheard of with today's technology. A criminal is also statistically proven to commit another crime. Do we really want repeat offenses by people who's first crimes were bad enough for the death penalty? We shouldn't let criminals get by just because it is expensive to serve justice. Educating people who aren't in the United States legally costs millions, but we still do that don't we? You have stated above that it is important innocent people don't get what they don't deserve, this is why we have appeals. Crimes worthy of the death penalty are much more than a painless lethal injection. We don't kill people for the sake of the fact that they have killed someone, you have to do much more than just kill someone for the death penalty, and we do it to keep the public safe. Same as above. We need to worry about the safety of the public, and serving justice, before we worry about foreign affairs. We must think about the safety of the public, and what the victims families have been through. To add to my arguments I would like to note that the death penalty is used sparingly, and crimes punishable by death are far worse than just murder. If we don't give these people what they deserve, we are allowing them to live for free off of the peoples taxes, without getting what they deserve, and, in a sense, they get away with their crime. If someone knows that they can kill, and live to tell about it, the chances of them doing it are greater, putting society in danger. You seem to have focused on cost, fairness, and morale example, but these aren't even caused by the death penalty, and you have forgotten the real reasons for the death penalty, the safety of the public, and justice.
