Capital Punishment

[darthmoll]

It seems that every day this week some other total waste of space has been convicted of a horendous murder, the latest a family of three.

IMO the time has come to start doing to them as they do to others, string them up and bury them in the grouds of the prison, or feed them to pigs, like the vermin they are. How many more fathers and mothers have to lose their children befor the state realises that we dont need thee people, the latest one will be out in time to get his pension, after spending years being housed and fed by the citizens of the UK.

Enough is enough.

I'd be 100% in favour of capital punishment BUT the legal system would have to be perfect for that.
If it could be guaranteed that no innocent person would ever be executed i'd by screaming for the rooftops for it to be introduced. However no justice system particularly the UK is robust enough to guarantee the above.

Yes some cases such as the Wests, Shipman, Huntley and so on i'd love to see hang and there is no doubt as to their guilt. However the further down you dig the more blurred that line becomes and eventually there's going to be a point where someone is convicted and the evidence isn't as overwhelming as for the above. Where do you draw the line to absolutely ensure you never kill an innocent?

I've got a real issue about this. Im 100% in favour of ridding the earth of scum by using it but its not worth it if even 1 innocent person was executed.

This one was done pretty much to death (if you'll excuse the pun! ) here a week or so ago;

death or free bed and breakfast?

An interesting read...

Guilford four. Still we we would be a step closer to sharia, sure to please some members of the community. Not me though!!!!!!!!

If you believe the guildford 4 are innocent then fair enough.

One of those where its probably guilty enough for life but not certain enough for death issues i was on about above.

correct and a massive overnight reduction in crime rates, global warming, deforestation, famine, drought, war, over fishing, animal extinctions, media hype..........

i shall of course be requiring one lucky lady to join me to repopulate the world, actually 3 or 4 i think would be better. I'll take Scarlet Johansen, Angelina Jolie, Nigella Lawson and the swedish high jumper chick.
