I'm sorry but i fail to see how a Government can state that it is Wrong/illegal to commit murder then as punishment turn around and say " But we can legally end a persons life" In the USA the far right preach that the Bible Book of Deuteronomy states "an Eye for an eye" etc but convieniently disregard the first commandment issued to moses on Mount Sinai which state's "Thou shalt not Kill" until of course they want to argue over Abortion - Although i myself am not religous and i certainly wouldn't let it influence our legal system!
In countries which practise capital punishment it is shown to have little deterent in those crimes being committed and indeed every crime should be treat differently. As soon as i mention this my work collegues then embark on a rant of "oh so you would put Ian Huntly in a Big spacious cell with Sat TV and Internet" etc Why they think i want to be that lenient i dont know. For me such vicious criminals should be locked in a 4m x 4m cell with simple toilet facillities and never see the light of day again. Im sure a life of solitary would drive them insane which for me is much worse punishment.
But that would cost the taxpayer you and me a fortune! One little tiny jab costing about 30 quid and thats it.
We pay enough tax anyway especially with a liberal government like Labour in - we as an island, a small country which has influenced the world ten times over both good and bad, have spent years evolving and growing and expanding our boundries and changing our ways of thinking and judging - for me capital punishment would be like taking a step back. But hey thats just my view xxxx
if killing someone in this country in illegal how would they justify killing someone for killing someone :? :? the mind boggles lol
