Would you bring back the death penalty ?

Is this really the kind of thing we want to associate ourselves with.

basically just thugs, i would be ashamed to live to in a country that practiced that kind of shit.

I always find it funny people who are "outraged" by murder and then say "oh mate if i got hold of him i'd hack him up and stick a hot poker up his arse and torture him and kill his mum"

So you'd just be a murdering thug? Right ok. Rational.

There are too many people walking this planet that don't deserve to. Take this Mark Bridger bastard who killed April Jones - sentenced to life in prison. What's the point of paying for his upkeep (upwards of £500k in total) when he could be executed for a fraction of the price. Why even chance that one day someone will let him out of prison?

To the people who are against the death penalty, I'd like them to explain what should happen to those two animals who hacked Lee Rigby to death in the street, explain to me why they deserve to live.

The view of the vast majority in this country,except for handwringing pussies that is.

That's a poor reason. African law is nothing like UK law. We wouldn't be stoning people to death for minor stuff.

A firing squad is the safest and most humane way of execution, as long as Magoo isn't holding the gun.

I wondered if that was true and according to what came up in google, it isn't (with American law anyway)-

'Kansas: “The study counted death penalty case costs through to execution and found that the median death penalty case costs $1.26 million. Non-death penalty cases were counted through to the end of incarceration and were found to have a median cost of $740,000. For death penalty cases, the pre-trial and trial level expenses were the most expensive part, 49% of the total cost. The investigation costs for death-sentence cases were about 3 times greater than for non-death cases. The trial costs for death cases were about 16 times greater than for non-death cases ($508,000 for death case; $32,000 for non-death case).” (. Kansas: Performance Audit Report: Costs Incurred for Death Penalty Cases: A K-GOAL Audit of the Department of Corrections)'

Washington State “At the trial level, death penalty cases are estimated to generate roughly $470,000 in additional costs to the prosecution and defense over the cost of trying the same case as an aggravated murder without the death penalty and costs of $47,000 to $70,000 for court personnel.” (Final Report of the Death Penalty Subcommittee of the Committee on Public Defense, Washington State Bar Association, December 2006,

North Carolina: The most comprehensive death penalty study in the country found that the death penalty costs North Carolina $2.16 million more per execution than the a non-death penalty murder case with a sentence of life imprisonment (http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/northcar…

That's America, it's not even close to what goes on here.

Certain crimes, when proven 100% without any doubt, definitely deserve the death penalty.

This Bastard deserves to be put in a cell to face April Jones parents .

What a low life coward.

We don't have the death penalty so you can't really say that.

Think it's pretty safe to assume that if we did reintroduce it, we'd have as many levels of statute and bureaucracy governing it as they do in America, maybe more.

The government would make it clear we were only executing after giving the fairest possible trial, like in America inmates can be on death row for decades because they have to be given a certain amount of appeals - no matter how clear cut it is.

And how would it mesh with EU law?

Personally if somebody offered me a lethal injection or the rest of my life stuck in a category A prison, I think I'd take a lethal injection.

I agree with you. I think the death penalty is an easy option for the offender.

I would like to see someone like that Mark Bridger be sent to prison, but have no protection from the other inmates. The same applies to those two extremists, that hacked that poor soldier to death.

They obviously wouldn't last very long, until they were beaten to death, by other inmates, but at least they would suffer, like their victims had to endure.

A lethal injection, would probably be painless IMO.

lethal injection is like going for surgery and not waking up afterwards - and that happens all the time.

The death penalty should be hanging, electrocution, injection or firing squad and the families of the victims should get to chose which one.

I'd just throw them in a dark cell. No bed, tv or toilet. No contact with anyone. Bread and water pushed through a hatch once a day. And that's their life until they die.

That's what they should do BDP, but instead they give him 3 big meals a day, radio, TV, Playstation, bed, read books, education, let them out on exercise , its a fucking joke.

The vast majority?
This is just an assertion- where's the proof of this

exactly as it should be.

100% of their liberties taken away.

Definately ,the relatives should be given first go at killing the cunts anyway they deem fit, if they are physically or mentally weak in that dept then someone who is not should be brought in to do it while the family watch, yes I like that idea. A bit like jury duty. With this latest fucker I'd kneecap him first then shred him with a razor blade for an hour or so ,cut his eyelids off and pour salt in them and take a break to watch and listen to him. Then finish him off with a lump hammer working up to his head from his feet to compleatly flatten him.

If so you must encounter a lot of odd people.

Not really, your too nice to be true, I find that somewhat odd! I wouldn't want you in a trench with me if that clarifies, you'd be dithering too much for my liking!

If i had joined the army i'd do my job, just like the rest of the men and women who do it.

I come from a military family, so i have a lot of respect in that area.

suffice to say I don't see whats bad about being a nice person.
