Death Penalty

Firstly Con states that, "Capital Punishment"is barbaric violation of basic human rights spelled out in our first amendment. I'd like to say to my opponent to be specific when you say our first amendment. Other than that Severe Crimes just can't be tolerated and regarding Human Rights for Criminals who commit serious crimes such as murder and Rape, I'd like to question Do they have right to commit those hideous crimes? The answer to this question by every people on this planet would be NO. So instead of keeping them in Prison and spending millions for their security and other cost better is to execute those criminals. Next Con states that, How Hippocratic is it of us to say that killing people is wring and never to be done, only to kill that person in return. Again I'd ask my opponent to be specific regarding us and regarding why Murderers should be executed I'd like to say the following points. If you kill you should feel their pain and the pain of those suffered because of you. "The Death Penalty Is Good for the Environment "Respecting the value of human life "Public safety "DNA testing and other methods of modern crime scene science can now effectively eliminate almost all uncertainty as to a person's guilt or innocence. "Prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals another chance to kill. "It contributes to the problem of overpopulation in the prison system. "It gives prosecutors another bargaining chip in the plea bargain process, which is essential in cutting costs in an overcrowded court system. "The death penalty gives closure to the victim's families who have suffered so much. "It creates another form of crime deterrent. "Justice is better served. "More Humane than other Forms of Punishment "Removal of a Threat to Society "Retribution "Prevents recidivism Next Con states again about the constitutional rights which I'd ask readers and my opponent to refer my first point. And I'd ask again for my opponent to be specific regarding we, us, them etc. Next Con states that Currently we are the only Western nation to still allow the "Death Penalty". Again please be specific regarding we. The only reason that countries uphold "Death Penalty" because it is undoubtedly needed to decrease crime and terrorism. Also it creates a fear among criminals and terrorists and makes them think thousand times before they commit those hideous crimes. A classic example is the 9/11 attack on U.S World Trade Centre in which thousands lost their life which is condemned all over the world and is one of the worst terrorist attack. The solution for this was to eliminate terrorism through war and if the main culprit was caught alive definitely he would have faced "Death Sentence" which would have been agreed by almost 99% of the world. Another example is that of Delhi Gang Rape in which the final justice was "Death Sentence" for criminals who were proved guilty which is upheld and justified by almost every countries in the world. Next Con states merely unreliable sources and which just tells number of countries practising "Death Penalty" and an unknown study in which Con states just the number of people who are for and against "Death Penalty" which is useless regarding the current topic . Thus serious crimes such as Murders, Rape and Terrorism just cannot be tolerated and the persons committing those hideous crimes should be executed under law. Finally I'd like to remind my opponent that he/she is con with that I pass on to Con.
