Default Re: This is why I\'m for the death penalty.

But when you say "let's execute everyone found guilty of really bad crimes and only when we're really sure" you are inviting disaster.

Well my reasoning in this thread have mainly been based on whether or not I find the death penalty morally acceptable, which I do.

I donīt think the "really sure" will be relevant, as I dont think we should put people in prison at all if we are just "really sure".

I dont think it invites disaster either, as the US has had the death penalty for 3 decades now, and only about 1000 have been executed, and I dont think anyone has found it likely that anyone of those might have been innocent. Do you feel that the current situation in the US is a disaster when it comes to the death penalty and how it is applied?
