Execution

Thank you for your response. The solutions presented are saying that the criminals were fighting each other. Basically, People were shooting each other. Wouldn't it make sense to take the guns away? It's the same things with children and teenagers. Hypothetically, If a child was gaming for several hours a day, And not doing their homework, Would you take away the gaming console, Let the child fail, Or, According to your philosophy, Scold the child and don't take the gaming console away. Most would agree on the first one. Research by University of Minnesota sociology-anthropology professor Scott Vollum and colleagues found ambivalence in families and friends of the victim"s reactions to the death penalty. Their study showed that only 2. 5 percent achieved true closure, And 20. 1 percent said that the execution did not help them heal. Co-victims in the study also expressed feelings of emptiness when the death penalty did not "bring back the victim. " So, This statement says only a small minority of people feel that the death penalty is right. Also, Your quote doesn't really support your argument. After some research, I found that Romano said this BEFORE the murderer was executed. But, Lula Redmond, A therapists stated that "More often than not, Families of murder victims do not experience the relief they expected to feel at the execution, " She then went on to say "Taking a life doesn"t fill that void, But it"s generally not until after the execution that families realize this. " Which means that Romano was probably was so angry at the murderer that he forgot to realize that the death penalty won't fix his anger and sadness. Also, You said that "life imprisonment is not in anyway similar to execution, " but that is a good thing. If you didn't have contact with the outside world, That would probably torture. And you said yourself that solitary confinement was a cruel and unusual punishment. But, You also stated that solitary confinement was similar to execution. So, You basically stated that execution was similar to a cruel and unusual punishment. You also say that the government spending is a largely irrelevant topic, And also say that 57. 5 million dollars is a small amount. But you forgot to mention that I say that the system costs 57. 5 million dollars MORE per year. California actually spends 137 million dollars on just the holding prisoners on the death penalty. That could be put into better use, Like improving the air quality, And using it on earthquake and natural disaster relief. The death penalty is one of the most expensive cases, And your statement that "the problem of innocent individuals being wrongly convicted and losing astronomical amounts of money for it extends far past the death penalty" is off the subject. If we eliminate the death penalty, It will be one less expensive court case we have to deal with. In Maryland, Death penalties cost 3 times more than non-death penalty cases, Or $3 million for a single case. Finally, The trauma faced by more are equal, Both have suffered humongous shock. In the Parkland School shooting, Nikolas Cruz's brother, Zach had been ostracized by his community, Involuntarily confined to a psychiatric facility, Arrested twice, Kicked out of his guardian"s home, Taken in by strangers who moved him 900 miles north to Virginia, And blamed, Not so much by others but by himself. "I always carry it with me. Every day. There is no forgetting, " Zach says. "I"m stuck between loving him and hating him because of what he did. " Since I hardly have anymore characters remaining, I'll have to leave you with this question: "Would you like to meet your demise involuntarily? " -cyborghacker
