Hanging should they bring it back?

MARTIN W

just put them in a room with the family they have done wrong to, with carte blanch to do as they wish, prison protects them, they need to die and this way the family get closure seems quite logical to me.

Hanging is the right penalty for child molesters and murderers in order to deter the occurrence of similar offenses. It is an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" treatment of culprits.

D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F

no - to me it is the easy way out they should rot in prison thinking about what they have done

cragoogle

Yes - hang all child molesters and rapists.

Sweetie

yes!

wellarmedlamb

There's gotta be some way to deter them. Maybe that would do it.

spiko

Yes!

WITHOUT A DOUBT

drmnoctor

Yep

just browsin

Oh, like they do in Totalitarian and countries ruled by dictators?

â™¥~C.J~â™¥

YES THEY SHOULD!!!

srracvuee

of course and most of the nation would agree

button moon

yes without a doubt in my mind, dna means there should be no mistakes!

Angel

Absolutely Yes.

jeff k

Hell yes, but not until I have murdered the b*stard who smashed my front windscreen.

MrBill

No way. On the contrary they should stop any kind of death penalty. You cannot punish a crime with a crime. That's what they did in the Middel Ages. Wake up, it's the 21st century. If we like it or not, whatver crime a person has committed, criminals have rights too. Death penalty is primitive and barbaric. Why do you think modern cutures like all european countries have banished the death penalty?

YES

clairercluck

no if they get the wrong person and hang them you cant say sorry we got it wrong to a gravestone can you

No, If they get the death penalty, or life sentences, depending on the cases, cause then you'll create another problem, would the hanging be for anyone, remembering you have very young kids that have also molested younger children, even though they are kids themselves, sometimes also victims themselves, then you have murderers, all of them or would it make a difference as to why the murder occurred? How the person was murdered? Or anything about the case besides the murder? Before you then turn around and murder he or she, cause now not only did they commit a murder you have too, only you feel your murder is justified by the law right? Not to mention you had a good reason to, right? Look at it any way you want the taken of another persons life is murder, and although if this hit home and I was faced to deal with a person that had caused harm to or killed a person I love, yeah I would be outraged and want them to die to, but I know in my hurt that although I'd be mad as hell, hurt beyond imagination, and forgiving them would be for me a long as hell process, I know that God holds the future so If I had the last earthly say so as to hanging that person I would say no, lock him/she up cause one day he/she will meet their creator and he will deal with what he created, and mind you I didn't say the decision would be an easy one, but I do feel it would be the right one.

NutstersChick

agreed
but it contravenes the human rights act.
which i am not a great fan of.
it seems 2 aid the criminal more than the victim and their families, in some cases.
when there r countless ways of proving guilt, using the present day technology, why or how any criminal can and r able 2 wiggle out of any real punishment, is beyond me!

pinkangelmouseprincess

As if a sentence to serve time in prison is going to stop them after they've done it! Yes, bring it back!!!!

Huey from Ohio

Hanging still hasn't gone away. Its still on the books technically in Utah and a couple of other states as well.

Joe King

What's is the bet they don't hang Sadam in the end?

This used to be a pretty good deterrent...watch a man dangle for a crime, and know without a doubt that if you get caught, you'll dance on a string, too. Cheaper than gas or electricity, and can be used over and over again. I vote yes!

putonyourflipflops

Yes it is about time we had a real deterrent.I think one of the reasons hanging was stopped in the UK was because of miscarriages of justice but with scientific evidence and advances in technology it is far less likely to happen now.In fact you are more likely to get let of because of a technicality or loophole in the law.I think a prison term should be served so the criminal can reflect on what they have done and the consequences of there crime(this would also serve to give them time to appeal and provide any missing evidence to prevent mistakes being made)maybe a set ten years would be enough and at the end of the sentence they should be hung or given a lethal injection so they are no longer a burden or risk to society.I think there should be a referendum to bring back the death penalty and am sure that it would succeed!

Hanging should be brought back if there is absoultely no doubt that they are guilty. The price it costs to keep prisoners in jail could open new hospitals, schools , OAP homes.

michael k

No!They should be jailed for the rest of their natural lives.There have been too many cases where the police have lied & diregarded evidence favourable to the accused.At least,with a life sentence,there is a chance that the convicted person will eventually get a chance to prove his innocence.A posthumous acquital is not justice.

xray_daddy

No in a simple answer they should not. Why finish the suffering of guilty people so quickly or finish the lives of the inocent either. Because inocent people do get hung, i believe the last person in the UK to be hung was then proven inocent...isnt that making us as bad as them!!! And i believe letting the real murderers etc rot in jail a far greater punishment than ending it quickly.....just lets make jail what it should be and not a holiday camp with Sky TV etc.

Capital punishment SHOULD be bought back.....but that's never gonna happen! Murderers,rapists and paedo's should get "proper" life sentences-non of this "out with good behaviour/time spent on remand/tariffs/tags" and so forth-within 10 years--to re offend again, whats the point in that? Build a bloody great sod off "super max" penitentiary, in the wilds of nowhere, staffed by psychopathic jumped up ex-corporal veterans, run along military lines, for a MINIMUM of 75 years...or taken out in a plain wooden box. It is the only way, why won't anyone listen? THIS COULD BE DONE. These "creatures" take the lives of other, ordinary people, turn THEIR family's lives upside down with grief-for the rest of their lives...for what?-10 measly years inside getting PhDs,doctorates, playing playstations/computers, and generally having a real cushty lifestyle...whilst because of the heinous crimes they have committed other people--"the victims"-- have to "chin-up and bear it",for the rest of their lives!! Not good.

No, it smacks of bloodthirstiness and revenge- we shouldn't proclaim by a public spectacle the fact that some people are so stupid and twisted they can't even change their ways under threat of death. If there was to be a death penalty it should be low-key and clinical, as in the putting down of animals.

While some crimes are horrendous, the idea of capital punishment still makes me uneasy. I don't think the state should carry out executions as no human has a right to take a life, no matter what the reason is.
