I think most advocates of the death penalty would actually be willing to pull the lever or press the button, especially if it got them onto the tv. They'd prolly get appearance money, especially if they went on 'Jeremy Kyle'.

There was a time when I'm sure I would have agreed with double jeapordy being done away with,as well as things like ID cards and DNA databases for all,in the mistaken belief that only those with something to hide had anything to fear.When you scratch the surface of some of these ideas,you start to see that keeping things as they are can be much the least worst option. |

Wow, just saw this thread!
I am liberal in that I believe education and environmental issues are more important than making money and having cheap fossil fuels. I, however, support the 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms, and I walk a pretty thin line about state sponsored execution. After members of the UK's police resigned because of phone tapping a few weeks ago I do not know if the "state" can be trusted with something as simple as news let alone the decision of life and death So there in lies the problem: can we trust the state to simply do its job? If we can't, then they should not be allowed to do any job for the public. That said, a child molester or serial rapist or serial murderer is simply a social cancer. When we discover a cancer in our body we remove it, we then watch carefully to make sure it does not return. I do believe that the death penalty would be a deterrent, if it was used! Countless inmates sitting on death row are like heros in the prison system-the baddest of the bad, still alive, being supported by the very society they attempted to maim, or murder, or rape. So, do all the latest forensic tests, confirm guilt or innocence beyond a shadow of doubt for every one on the row, then clear death row. Innocent go to, well, wherever they belong, the guilty go to meet their maker. When Louisiana passed the "Shoot the Carjacker" law carjackings were out of control. After declaring the car an extension of the house, and therefore defendable by deadly force, carjacking went way down, and further, after a carjacker was shot in a parking lot carjacking almost stopped altogether-the only lives criminals value are their own. If they can commit the worst crimes imaginable and be given a place to stay, food to eat and medical attention then they will continue, if there is nothing waiting for them but an iron chair, a needle full of toxic drugs or a swinging rope they will most assuredly think twice, and those that don' t have proven they do not value any human life.

Here is a tour of the old Belfast gaol. It lasts 53mins, but is very interesting. BB

Let me put it this way: have you been to a 'civilized' slaughterhouse, or seen reports of them on TV? The animal drops stone dead, and execution by pistol shot is not very different |

I remember Tory John Redwood saying that we should bring back hanging. When he was asked to comment on miscarriages of justice he said that it didn't matter as long as we hanged some that were guilty. A shocking and completely out of touch statement if ever there was one and indicative of idiots like him.

The justice system should protect the public, not enact revenge.
