death penalty

I can't look at the images because Google is blocked on my computer. If you showed the link for those instead, then (assuming it's not YouTube since that's blocked too) I could look at the images. Eye for an eye is reacting to evil by doing on to the criminal as he has done on to innocent victims, so he knows what it's like and if he fears death, then he won't give it to innocent people. "Conquering" evil by kindness is just like we should give money to thefts as a legal reward for stealing. If you reward a behavior, you will get more of it and vice versa. Your not making the situation worse by executing the murderer. If someone steals $50, they should have the $50 taken away from him. If you take back the money from the thief, does that make you a thief for taking the money back? No. It makes you a confiscator. Murder is different from execution as Confiscation is from theft. Saying "Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing is wrong?" is just like saying, "Why do we steal from people who steal from people to show that stealing is wrong?" There's different types of killing just as there are different types of taking. Criminals should get rehabilitated in general unless they committed an unforgivable crime. If they drove drunk without killing anyone, they endure their punishment and they get out of jail. If they stole $50K, then they should endure their sentences and punishments and get out. These are all forgivable crimes. Their crimes were fixable and some were even reversible. Although drunk driving is not necessarily totally reversible, it is fixable if no one got hurt and the only thing damaged are assets. Criminals of this crime can be made to not be as clingy to alcohol or if they like alcohol, they can get an Uber account so they can get home from a bar. Someone who stole $50K can easily reverse their crime by having the money returned or if it's not, then they could be a prison "slave" in order to pay off their debt. This is legal in the 13th amendment. It is wrong to base punishments on the 5 minutes of anger that someone has. That's why their is a 3rd party jury that does not feel as much emotion pain over a stranger as the prosecutor would. They don't base their decision on the sole basis of emotion(pathos). The jury bases sentences on logic (logos), morals (ethos) and the law. Anger and other emotions barely affect the criminal justice system. Pretty much the only person that if effected from this is the murderer, who either dies or lives. If you want people to think that murder is bad, execute them for killing. Just as people get jail for kidnapping(which is a vigilantic jail), people should get executed for murder and escaping jail, (that's another section) Criminals would fear the death penalty and as a result would not want to commit murder. The fear would get so ingrained into them that it would cause that anti murder ideology to go into their morals so not only would they be afraid of murdering but they would also believe that it is morally wrong (generally speaking). If only cowards fear the death penalty, then it looks like I'm a coward because I'm scared of death in general. 2 countries, Similar culture, similar history: Belarus has the death penalty: Their homicide rate is 3.58 per 100,000 Ukraine does not: Their homicide rate is 4.36 per 100,000 https://en.wikipedia.org... Only 4.1% of convicts for murder are actually innocent. (This is religious) If your executed innocent, since atheist criminals tend to convert out of fear of hell, once they get executed innocently, they would go to heaven. Even if your secular, the innocent inmates would probably be thinking hopeful thoughts at the deathbed. http://www.newsweek.com... I wouldn't necessarily want to hang criminals to their deaths. I want them to die with the same amount of pain they murdered times the number of people they killed. If a murderer murders one person by a gunshot, he gets shot in the same place. If he murders 2 people by the same method, he dies a way twice s painfully. "Killing an inmate is injustice, killing is never justice, killing for someone else (victim) is not acceptable , being cruel is not okay, killing someone is not fine." Apply this statement to abortion and then you will be more consistent. There are multiple types of killing. There is murder, manslaughter, execution, and other types of killing. The murderer denying execution when they murdered someone else is kind of hypocrisy. The government killing the murderer is a form of punishment for committing a serious crime. The murderer murdering innocent people is one of the most serious crimes in the United States. You deter more effectively with the death penalty since it's better to live a bad life then no life at all. If no life is better then a bad life, then most poor people would commit suicide. Despite many people saying, "I would rather die than be in prison for life", if they are actually put in the situation where they commit murder, then they probably would rather live in jail then being executed because staring death in the face is scary.
