    There will always be a doubt in most crimes, so the death penalty is too risky.

    because that is what all burglars do isn't it?

    bad example, but your point is flawed anyway.

    executing them solves nothing except giving the rapist an easy way out, instead of them having to deal with the consequences of their actions, rehabilition and ultimately re-entering society.

    if i was a rapist, i would rather be killed via beheading than face 10 years inside a prison labelled as a rapist.

    but if ure guilty 110%, whithout a shadow of doubt, then i say kill them.

    say a girl of six was raped and killed, and u knew who the bastard was that did it, how the fukk can u then say dont kill him, he has issues, please, hang the bastard i say,

    on a saturday nite at 2am, u could pick up a slag, but do u fukk play with little kiddies ffs, evil bastards:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

    Where would you draw the line for kiddy fiddlers? Would raping a child meant the death penalty? What about sexual things other than rape (not going into details)? What about exposure?

    it might seem the easy way out, in the short term it probs is, but in the long term, there would be no chance of repeat offending, and also it would set an example to others

    Nobody has the right to take the life of another person.

    There is no such thing as 100% sure never mind 110%, even with a confession they could still be innocent.

    America has the death penalty in many states, but that doesnt seem to deter others. Infact, it has on of the highest murder rates in the world.

    that type of conviction does not exist and will never exist, even some guilty confessions have been proven to be wrong as the police had mishandled investigations, and beaten or obtained confessions via unjust means.

    your point holds no substance when faced with the fact that our criminal justice process repeatedly convicts innocent people.

    do u fukk do anything to minors like, , if he exposes himself to a child, the dirty basrtard is going to go on to a more serious crime agaist children, fukkin hang all the peodos, dont give them a second chance, there all the lowest of the low,



    in prison, murderers, rapists, burglars, etc, all look upon child sex attackers as the lowest form of excistance,

    I'm just saying there is a lot of grey area. I was having sex with my ex when she was 15 and I just turned 16. Do I deserve the death penalty for this? How can we believe every accusation? If the death penalty was brought back, then Dave Jones could easily be dead now if he wasn't lucky enough to disprove the allegations brought against him. Not everyone can do this, especially normal people like you and me who aren't in a position of power.

    i understand ure point, if the 2 of u's r minors, and dont know better, then that fairy snuff, but a 40 year old messing about with a child, come on mate, how the fukk can u say thats right.

    I know it's not right. But you can't sentence someone to death for having sex with someone who's under 16. Greame Rix got done for having sex with a 15 year old. Don't think anybody even mentions it anymore. Plenty of girls who are 12/13 could pass for 16/17 with make up etc on.

    in principle I might say yes to this in extreme cases for people like, for example, the the Wests, the Moors Murderers, Ian Huntley (but not Maxine Carr), but in practise I'll always say no simply because of the number of times our courts put innocent people in prison.

    It's impossible to draw up legislation that says we'll execute only the really really bad ones, the ones with no hope of rehabilitation, when it's 110% definite that they did it.... because eventually we'd kill an innocent man!

    but the law would get it rite on the whole, all the rite people, save for 1 or 2 innocent parties, but thats justified from there point of view.

    This is the weirdest sex law I know of. In many middle eastern countries (definatly Saudi Arabia) there is no age of consent. But it is also illegal to have sex before marriage due to Islamic law. So in theory a 40 year old man could get a 8 year old bride and legally have sex with her. Very strange. :confused:

    but si, if u got rid of the evil bastards now, that would set an example 4 the kids to follow, in the future, thats all im saying like.

    but the law doesn't always get it right, either through incompetence or pure corruption.... that's the problem!

    There have been too many miscarriages of justice for the death penalty to be phased in, even for the most henious of crimes. The Guildford Four, Judith Ward, The Birmingham Six, Derek Bentley (who was executed in 1953 - his conviction was later overturned). These are just the famous ones.
