The lethal injection should be kept legal and should be legal. The immoral acts that those inmates on death row have done can not be forgiven by humans. God might forgive you but if the people only knew how sinister those on death row where. Their would be less resistance on killing them. The act of killing someone that is a repeat offender and has been to prison many times is moral and should be allowed. The act of killing someone that has been to prison once and has not committed the same act or has not been in trouble with the law since their release should not be put to death. Those that pose a risk to society if they escape prison should be put to death. Lethal injection has it's pros and cons and here is a link that says the pros and cons! Side: Yes

The act of killing someone that is a repeat offender and has been to prison many times is moral and should be allowed. So, if I get arrested, repeatedly, for petty theft, I should be killed? Those that pose a risk to society if they escape prison should be put to death. The risk being potentially missing potato chips at a 7-Eleven... Side: No

Plenty of people have forgiven incredible violence against themselves, their relations, and their loved ones. So you're just factually incorrect on that point. There are people who value their own ethical standards more highly than retribution, and assuming that they're deluded or misinformed is nothing more than a very simplistic presumption of your own moral values as superior without the effort of any real argumentation. If you want to make an actual case for your position that requires more than an emotive appeal to sentiment... Side: Yes

Yes, that is true. I do not see how someone could forgive such a disgusting creature. You hurt my child or my partner you better be in prison before I catch you. The only way you will survive is behind bars. No one will just get the mercy of the law if the kill, rape or torture my kids or my partner. And even than I would not forgive them. I will go to hell before I forgive such a disgusting animal. Side: Yes

hello, wouldn't that be taking the easy way out, though? death? and isn't the death penalty itself questionable? I mean killing a person for murder would that not be hypocritical? or even better; killing someone in a country where murder is illegal. have a good day! =) Side: No

Your statement is not at all true there are many people who deserve to die. There are people who lack empathy for anyone and they torture and kill other humans for their entertainment. These people do deserve to die and it is irresponsible to allow them to live so that innocent people's lives are in danger. It's people like you that have allowed society to degrade to a point where people think it's okay to enter a school and murder innocent children or to invade a home rape the female children and tie them to a bed and set the house on fire. Those people are happy to be inhumane to anyone who crosses paths with them yet you would prefer to allow them to continue living rather than their future victims I would say that borders on insane. Side: Yes
It does not necessarily follow that someone deserves to die just because it is prudent to kill them. Those are distinct, albeit potentially interrelated, questions. The notion that opposition to state executions is responsible for school shootings, home invasion, rape, arson, etc. is not only unsubstantiated but so extreme as to sound nothing short of ludicrous. All of these have existed alongside state executions and continue to occur where such executions take place, and notably have lower incidence in some nations that do not have state executions than in some of those which do. Nor is execution the only option, since lifetime incarceration is generally also an option. "Keeping society safe" may be one of the weakest argument for state executions, even wen it's given a strong defense which I don't think yours is. Side: No
Hello t: One of the problems with the death penalty, is that we're NOT sure the guy's we're executing ARE guilty.. Over the last decade, more than a 100 death row inmates have been found INNOCENT, and released.. So, with a BAD record like that, we oughta STOP that crap. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/ excon Side: No

So your claim is that less than 1% error over 40 years in the initial conviction is a huge problem with the death penalty? I would say that, with the appeal process that exists the margin of error for execution is very close to zero percent. How many of the people on your list were actually put to death and then found not guilty that is the problem area, what percentage is that figure? Side: Yes
Wrongful conviction is not limited to the death penalty but exists at all levels of sentencing, and presumably occurs at even higher rates for some offenses where the sentence is (regarded as) less severe. if wrongful conviction is enough basis from which to stop using execution, why is it not enough of a basis from which to stop using sentencing? Moreover, the criminal justice system you are referencing has a very bad record of racism and classism that arguably contributes to higher mortality rates and economic unrest among those demographics... so again why don't we stop the whole criminal justice system? Or, as long as this a bad record is the whole standard for something why don't we just abandon government? Side: Yes
