I'am fully against death penalty:
- as lebell said, the risk of executing innocent people is too high.
- it is no determent, USA has more muders that an lot of other nations. For me I would rather die than waste ~20 years in jail. if i go to jail not and get free in 20 years i would be 48, my whole life would be gone.
- For me, the state has to be an idol for the society, if the state shows me that killing is right it is a bad example for society
- in most cases I think the society and therefore the state has some responsibility for the criminals, the society is "making" their criminals, therefore I think they should try to correct those errors and not follow a "just throw 'em away" tactic.
- "an eye for an eye" is the tactic of the blind
