I think under certain circumstances capital punishment is justified. For example, the two black Muslim men that killed and tried to decapitate that young soldier in front of everyone in broad daylight in London not so long ago. Both of them don't even deserve a defense, straight to the gallows, do not pass go, do not waste tax payers money on keeping them locked up.

Y'know, they should bring back public stonings, too. And while we're at it, chopping off the hands of thieves don't sound to bad, neither.

While we're at that let's tie people up, throw them into a bag with an angry wolf and a lobster, then tie that up and throw it to the bottom of the river while he's still alive.

Now that's some creativity.

Crazy Rich, my friend, I think we just solved crime.

Firing squads?

Or go the Genghis Khan route and rip peoples limbs off by tying them to four horses...!!!

OK, that might be going too far.

I think capital punishment is a viable option but you have to be absolutely positive the person you're sentencing is the right individual. That's one sentence that no level of appeal can overturn.

But, the world of reality tells us it can't work as SiL and SM have already pointed out that it's more expensive to go for it.

It's long been known that it costs more to execute someone than to lock them up.

I don't believe it. The most standard rounds are fairly cheap. Even if they are using assault rifles to execute someone, the 5.56 is not that expensive round either (if we talk about the US). 3 meals for the whole day are more expensive than one 5.56 round, thats for sure.

They don't shoot the people. They usually inject them with a 'supposedly' painless, lethal substance (I don't know what).

[WinterActual]

As far as I knew it was a personal choice. Which should be taken away and "right to the wall" to be the only option.

I also don't see why it would cost more to house death row prisoners, do they get special treatment or something? I understand that the trials could be longer but most big trials do so anyway. I can't see how keeping someone locked up for life is cheaper than executing them, doesn't make any kind of sense.

Well yes but the example I gave is surely as clear cut as you're gonna get.

I'm told in China, they put a handgun to your head and call it a day. Seems simple enough if that's true.

[SpaceMarines]

And we all know, China is a jewel to which all criminal justice systems should be compared.
