Is it okay to kill people if they deserve it?

baldyhugsblues

no one deserves to die and no one has the right to kill

i am for the death penalty--i think that rapists should receive death for first time offenses..in a sense what they are doing is killing someone if you think about it....

you can't kill cancer by pleading with it, you have to wipe it out.

I have been against the death penalty for years; however I have never been in the position where I had to choose. I don't know if that would change, say someone in my family was murdered, molested....It's hard to say at this time.

Who decides who deserves it? Certainly not I. Killing is a part of nature, a big part. Public killings are twisted and wrong. Punishment should be given by the victims, with maximum punishment of an eye for an eye. You kill my brother, I kill you.

NO. I dont think any one deserves to be killed.If you kill someone then you may "deserve" it as well SO dont kill any one

Yetiman

What is the measure for "deserving" death? You may think one deserves death but who is the ultimate judge? Is is not God? The justice of man is not the like justice of God. God commands "Thou shall not kill."

i strongly believe in the death penalty.an eye for an eye.

I totally believe in the death penalty...I just wish public hangings were still around...that would really give people a dose of reality. Murderers are not invincible, they will be caught and consequences will be upheld!

an eye for an eye.

No is not OK, just beat them up so they will learn.

I think that if someone is trying to kill you ar your family members and you are reasonably sure that they are really trying to do that. Like already smashed down the front door, having a gun with them, stuff like that; then its ok in self defense I think. Almost never else in my opinion.

sockxgoblin

No. Wanna go to hell? Then sure, do it. But nobody deserves to die.

Well if you kill someone, they've been let off really, they aren't suffering from guilt or anything, they're dead, so they don't have to feel guilty any more, you see.

depends on the person's point of view.

The only problem with the death penalty is that it isnt just guilty people that get killed. There are mistakes where innocent people are killed, thats why its banned in Europe. When will the US civilize and ban it too?

bogies

NO KILLING IS BAD!!!!!!!

If the death penalty is OK, how do you feel about abortion?

When someone takes a life, the balance of justice is disturbed. Unless that balance is restored, society succumbs to a rule of violence. Only the taking of the murderer's life restores the balance and allows society to show convincingly that murder is an intolerable crime which will be punished in kind.
Retribution has its basis in religious values, which have historically maintained that it is proper to take an "eye for an eye" and a life for a life.

Although the victim and the victim's family cannot be restored to the status which preceded the murder, at least an execution brings closure to the murderer's crime (and closure to the ordeal for the victim's family) and ensures that the murderer will create no more victims.

For the most cruel and heinous crimes, the ones for which the death penalty is applied, offenders deserve the worst punishment under our system of law, and that is the death penalty. Any lesser punishment would undermine the value society places on protecting lives.

PrettyPink

no because once u kill someone they cant come back.

jennyedoll

I don't think you or anyone in any court can decide what "deserve it" means, and I also think that unless you can make the dead live, you have no right to make the living die. Who has the right to be a killer, even of someone who "deserves it"?

blah3blah5

Penalties exist for reasons. If you speed, you get fined. If you rob a bank, you go to jail. If you commit a crime that society has judged deserving of the death penalty, you die.

If you commit in a crime, you have to be prepared to pay the price. I speed all the time, I pay about $1000/year in speeding tickets. Do I get mad or upset when I'm caught? No. Heck, I've had the same officer give me 4 tickets and I'm thinking of asking her out next time ;p

If you murder someone, don't be surprised if the justice system, family and friends of the decease want your sorry *** electricuted. People who commit crimes, especially the heinous crimes, are repeat offenders. They've chosen the life they wish to die by.

I'll even volunteer to be the person the pulls the switch, fires the shot or give the injection.

kalsmom

You already know the answer to that. Who are you to decide who deserves it? That's why we have laws and courts.

Sure, as long as you have a note from God, preferably carved in stone by a finger of fire.

If it were ok to kill people that deserve it, I would have eliminated half the population of North Georgia.
