What would you write to the governor of ny about the death penality

You cannot eliminate the long appeals process when a life is on the line. There would be even more wrongful executions then there already are now.

so what is worse? killing an innocent or freeing a murderer? in retrospect and logically speaking freeing a murderer is worse because he can kill 1, 2 maybe 10 more people

That is not justice, it is vengence. And I suggest you read the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution.

wrong, vengeance is a emotional reaction to a previous action (such as a man kills your family so you kill his family) that is not what I was suggesting do not confuse punishment and revenge they have a difference, what I was suggesting was putting fear into a future murderer BEFORE he has a chance to murder, fear is the GREATEST thing for peace, my example the pax romania, rome had 200 years of peace, that is far longer then europe has EVER experienced and how did they do it? ill tell you it wasnt by being nice and justice it was pure fear.. they said you mess with us and we WILL crush you, that is why FEAR is the greastest tool.

locking a man in prison until he dies is far harsher.. or my favorite parole.. you get to see the man who killed your daughter leave prison after 15 years so what is justice? justice is simply the man with the hammer behind the stand

I think that if they had a more efficient way of execution then yes.. the whole takes 10 years then the price of it,

I think the more barbaric the better, when a potential murder gets frighten at the prospect of the brutal punishment THAT is when you know justice has been done

Capital punishment is not a deterrent to commit murder.

I think that if they had a more efficient way of execution then yes.. the whole takes 10 years then the price of it, just seems to be a waste of time HOWEVER yes it is barbaric but it should be.. justice needs to be cold, cruel and harsh not kind.. it needs to scare people into respecting the law..

I think the more barbaric the better, when a potential murder gets frighten at the prospect of the brutal punishment THAT is when you know justice has been done, because I believe justice is not stopping a criminal but to make sure he never becomes one

That I don’t agree with it.

It’s fighting fire with fire. It doesn’t work. Plus what if a person was falsely accused. Also what about that persons family. I certainly wouldn’t want to see one of my family members get killed. Especially not if I was the one who didn’t do anything wrong.

Its a good thing.Instead of spending all that money locking someone up for years.

It costs more to prosecute a death penalty case, than it does to keep them in prison for life.

I would write and tell that the death penalty does nothing to protect society. It is barbaric and it is a practice that is beneath what an just and enlightened society should engage in.

Well… what if that person was falsely accused…?
