Why are you saying murderers should only be executed in certain cases and then you just blankly say all rapists should.be executed? That's retarded on so many levels.
I believe sadistic crimes should receive the death penalty but it needs to be very carefully and strictly regulated because it is in fact a risk when we give a lot of power to the state.
When I was in college I had the choice of a few topics for my research paper. The topics available were abortion, death penalty and welfare. I chose what I thought was the least controversial topic, the death penalty, I was very pro death penalty until I completed my research. When reviewing several death penalty cases I was a little surprised at my findings. In many cases, unless the defendant admitted to the crime, there was video evidence that clearly showed the defendant committing the crime there were problems with witness accounts, not having the body of the victim, police manufacturing evidence, prosecutors not sharing evidence with the defense, jurors who show no interest in the trial and judges that are in the courtroom but a million miles away. What I found was most appalling was the manufacture of evidence by the police to secure a conviction and prosecutorial misconduct by the DAs office especially in high profile cases and ill-equipped defense attorneys who barely graduated law school and end up as public defenders. These public defenders are appointed by the judge to represent the defendant if he is unable to afford an attorney. Then there's the work of the Innocence Project. These are law students who take on cases when they believe there is an issue with the trial. As I stated I was very pro death penalty but after my paper I decided I could no longer support the death penalty. In Texas, for decades, there was no life without parole that's why there were so many sentenced to death. Several years ago the legislature passed a life without parole thereby reducing the number of those executed. George Bush, the younger, was president he stated firmly that he is 100% sure that everyone who was sentenced to death and executed since the days of either the republic or since becoming a state had a fair, lawful and just trial. Now than, that's a very bold statement to make. Considering he's never looked at every single death penalty case and execution in Texas going back to its admission as a state. That statement made me think twice about how the death penalty is applied. As I stated I no longer support the death penalty because as much as we want to believe that everyone in the entire USA will get a fair trial from their time in traffic court to the most awful crime of murder not every one gets a fair trail. When you look at the variable the deck is stacked against it.
Do you have an example of an innocent person being executed in the last 20 years in the US, when DNA testing came into its own? It very easy to assert that it has happened. Why don’t you give an example?
@gopher7691 I've never read a comment that's so oblivious to the burden of proof. The death penalty isn't a default. It's not the responsibility of others to prove why the death penalty shouldn't happen. It's like asking a bank to prove why you shouldn't get a loan, while making no effort what so ever to explain why you're applying for one,
@The high ground Well Britain does what it wants to do anyways. They were never representive of Europe And the French casw irritates me. Is there crimerate really that bad?
19leeryan 1.There is no credible proof that the death penalty works as a deterrent. In the US, in states where the death penalty has been abolished, there has been no significant change in the rates for serious criminal offenses, such as murder. 2. It is a cruel and unusual punishment, where basic standards of human dignity are compromised or undermined. It continues the cycle of violence. Retribution is just another word for revenge-it is essentially just a form of the flawed thinking that two wrongs can make a right. The pro argument is that killing people is wrong; therefore, you should kill people for killing, which makes no sense. . . 3. It affects the poorer segments of society and racial minorities disproportionately, in part because they cannot afford the costs of good legal support. In the USA, although only 13% of the population is African-American, 50% of death row prisoners are African-American. 4. The justice system is bound to make mistakes. In the case of people who are wrongly imprisoned, they can be released from prison and given compensation, but a wrongful execution can never be righted. 5. The death penalty is not cost-effective. When all the practical and legal costs are taken into account, it is clear that the execution is more expensive than imprisoning for life. 6. A life spent in prison is a worse punishment than an execution. A life sentence prisoner has many years to endure their punishment, as well as experience remorse and reflect on his or her crimes. of law enforcement officials. The abolition of the death penalty occurs most often in states where the murder of police officers is a very low percentage of all homicides. In 2014, there were 14,000 murders that took place in the United States, but there were only 35 executions that took place. 7. It is used to control political messages. The United States uses the death penalty exclusively for the punishment of crimes as defined by legal code and precedent. It is a principle which is not consistent for other countries in the world. 78% of global executions because of capital punishment come from just four countries when excluding China: Iraq, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. 8. Family members of a victim are adversely impacted by the death penalty. The Marquette Law Review found that when family members go through the capital punishment process after someone they love becomes a victim, they have higher levels of mental, physical, and behavioral health problems when compared to when the perpetrator receives a sentence of life in prison. Although this issue does not happen in every circumstance, some family members can feel responsible for the fact that the government is putting this criminal to death. Proponents would argue that capital punishment provides relief because it guarantees that person can no longer harm another, but there are many families who do not feel a sense of satisfaction with this action. If they are the ones who experience loss, then there should be a way to provide input for them. There are very few prison escapes that occur, and fewer that involve violent criminals. 9. The number of escapes from prison in the United States declined by more than 50% between 1998-2013, falling to a rate of 10.5 escapes per 10,000 prisoners in 2013. At the same time, the number of life sentences handed out by the court system has gone up by 500%. Most of the incidents that contribute to a prisoner escape come from low-security situations, like when 16 prisoners walked away from a work site and another 3 disappeared from a community work center. Out of all of the reported escapes in 2013, only one inmate from a secured facility was able to get away. Some countries, including Sudan and Iran, use the death penalty as a political tool. It becomes a way to punish political opponents who might want to take their country in a different direction. There were a total of 2,500 death sentences recorded in 54 countries in 2018, with about 20,000 people currently under sentence around the world at the end of the year. 10. Children are sometimes put to death through the use of capital punishment. There are at least 97 kids who were put to death by capital punishment laws in Iran since 1990. Another 145 child executions have happened in China, the Republic of Congo, Pakistan, Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria - and the United States. Scott Hain, Toronto Patterson, T.J. Jones, Napoleon Beazley, Gerald Mitchell, Shaka Sankofa, Glen McGinnis, and Steven Roach were all put to death in the United States for a crime that they committed at age 17. Sean Sellers was executed when he was 29 for a crime that he committed when he was 16. 11. The evidence obtained to justify the death penalty is sometimes tainted. There are specific guidelines in the United States today that limit how and when law enforcement can obtain evidence during questioning. This structure of protection is not always available around the world. There are numerous people executed after being convicted during an unfair trial, often on the basis of evidence or confessions obtained through the use of torture. Some defendants were not given adequate legal representation. Some countries even use the death penalty as a mandatory punishment for specific offenses, which means the judge cannot consider the circumstances of the crime during the sentencing phase of a trial. 12. More focus on Rehabilitation for serious offenders murderers, rapists, pedophiles, abusers, and drug dealers Is more effective to reintegrate them back into society and also get them a job however not everyone can be rehabilitated and that's what maximum-security prison is for the keep them away from the Society but still treat them like human beings NOT like animals take away their freedom not their Humanity. Norway prove this its recidivism rate is 20% in Germany it's 40% in Japan 48% the United States full on punishment prison (with zero Rehabilitation) recidivism rate is 76.6%
@The Very Last One My sentiments exactly. That offender will never murder again. Pay no attention to the liberal tree huggers whale savers that make ridiculous claims on how to save all the serial killing child murdering psychopaths and sociopaths in the prison system and prepare them for successful release to become successful pro social members of society
@@moreplatesmoreface no a child is innocent but killing people for crimes like murder and not letting them out after 2 weeks of good behavior helps deter people from a crime and decreases the number of criminals and if someone murders knowing it would get them killed then they choose to die

There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’¹
If all goverments in the world applied eye for an eye on criminals the world would be alot more peaceful , criminals are not afraid of prison anymore they get free food and a place to live , you can't treat a murdrer with humanity if he has no humanity inside his heart
Good video but a few things u didn’t mention is what will be in place instead of the death penalty and whether going to prison for the rest of your life is a more harsh punishment as many people argue that if you lock someone up forever they never experience the joys of life and get beaten up by other inmates and get treated like crap and they have to live with that for the rest of their life and their pain and suffering will end decades later when they die from old age where as with the death penalty they are imprisoned then after a few decades it ends. I also think u could have talked a bit more about whether an innocent person could be executed by saying how efficient DNA, finger print and video evidence is and whether even that evidence can be false and also talk about evidence faked by the police in other cases where the suspected culprits were found innocent years later.
Bureaucracy is sometimes good. When the trials take longer time to go trough, it makes sure that every aspect of the crime has been checked, every aspect that could prove the sentence is right, and every aspect that could prove it's wrong.
Some people argue it's not an effective deterrent, and the reason for that is because it's not regularly enforced. If there was less time between executing criminals, and implemented more frequently it would be more effective.
For it to be a deterrent its assumed those criminals are RATIONAL thinkers who are conscious about the consequences. Now you only need common sense to understand ANY rational person would be deterred with the idea of getting life imprisonment WITHOUT parol for their crimes. Having a "worser" punishment (the death penalty) doesn't automatically mean one would deter more than another, BOTH would be able to deter a rational person. If you had the option to chose between 200 years of torture in hell or 500 years, obviously you would choose 200, but that does not mean the 200 years of hell WOULDN'T deter you. The death penalty is just simply not needed and is INEFFECTIVE as a deterrent because of this second option (life without parol) is available and processes the same results. : : : Getting rid of the death penalty would prevent irreversible mistakes, reduce a large amount of expenses and time.
I strongly support death penalty not because of deterrent, but rather making sure the murderer can't commit more murders anymore. Also I don't want the tax money being spent on food and medicines for those horrific criminals.
@@pikachu8508 let’s pretend they were completely uncorrupt, your system still isn’t perfect, and most likely you have executed at least one innocent person in the last decade.
@@Ed-nm9cq Life sentence isn't perfect either, they might escape the prison and commit more murders, or they could still commit murder even in the prison.
Funny because there are other ways to get the murderer to stop killing so thanks for proving how immoral you can be. Even if the murderer did get the penalty, your life would still be the same just with the murderer dead. The murderer wiuld still be somewhere out there locked but no longer committing crime.
I don't see how the death penalty differs fundamentally from imprisonment, which is a sort of temporary death. If a person is sentenced to even 5 years of imprisonment, his life is likely to change permanently for the worse and he will suffer greatly. Yet, how do we know that he was really guilty? Furthermore, is imprisonment a deterrent in the first place? If we have no problem with imprisonment, I don't see why capital punishment should be a problem.

@@laurikaunisto7403 eeeeh I agree with your conclusion, not the argument If "killing someone for killing" is wrong, that logic should extend to "locking someone up for locking someone up". I.e. the whole point of the justice system. (Prison) A government cannot be held to the same standards as it's citizens, otherwise it could not manage them. I can't sue my prison for holding me in a cell against my will I prefer the argument that the government shouldn't have the right to kill as a punishment, as it is too large of a responsibility for one to have. Especially someone in power. It's not "if I can't kill, the government can't either", but "if the government can't kill, I can't either".
When the criminal is waiting 20 years or more and the judicial system is still like "well we don't know if we should do it yet" I think that's cruel. Cruel to not only the criminal, but also the families and those involved because justice is not received and they have to wait on the edge of their seat for years. But it's also cruel to the taxpayers who are basically just paying for a dead man to live. Should take under 10 years to come to a conclusion. If there's not a conclusion within a reasonable amount of time, the sentence should be re-evaluated for life or a lower sentence or even release depending on circumstances.
Life of Torture should be a thing. Like seriously planned and organized torture for offenders. That will satisfy everyone, the believer and none believer that death is a relieve. At least everyone will be guaranteed that those people will suffer and be in a constant pain for what they did.

@@bronykingamethystrain5676 a deterrence doesn't prevent every instance. Innocents being sentenced is a indirect outcome of an imperfect society. It shows that the justice needs reform since no one should be sentenced unless proven to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt. The threshold for doubt should be so insignificant that the amt of innocents who are sentenced to death is so small in comparison to the amt of guilty ppl being sentenced to death that it justifies it. Murderers should not be given opportunities to go back into society or live their lives. The right to life should be automatically forfeit if they took away that right from others. The moral dilemma you suggest can easily be solved if we start thinking numbers. So lemme ask you this? If killing one innocent child meant saving millions, would you do it?
Its costly not a good deterrence and has been shown to bring less closure then just standard locking people up, and this whole argument detracts from the more important arguement of prison abolition and how we shouldn't have police or prisons.
I feel like there is no right or wrong answer to this question. Not only do both sides have good arguments, but there are also people who have no opinion on the death penalty. The problem is that the question “Is the Death Penalty justified?” is entirely subjective, meaning that it cannot be answered by an objective standpoint. BTW: This is coming from someone who neutral in this debate.
Yessss it works..one can see how many criminals get shattered in fear that how they ll be killed for inflicting pain and extreme brutality to others.. thinking of extreme harsh dealth penalty many criminals and potential criminals usually comes to backfoot bedore they commit any pre meditated crime..death penalty should be there forever
'One can see how mny criminals get shattered in fear.' Yes, it surely deters the desperate people from robbing a store when they don't have food. It surely deters someone murdering a burglar, it surely deters a depressed teen shooting up his school.

Yeah and we can't really rely on them. I mean some of them even wanted to abolish slavery but they shied away from it because of how much it would divide the country, it could be that it is the same case here for the death penalty.
I am betting it cuts down on recidivism, but I haven't seen any studies. And seriously, someone nasty enough to kill someone is not going to be "deterred" by a potential execution.
I'm against capital punishment because it's such an ugly and primitive act. When i look back at some of the hideous, weird and brutal executions metered out, just a couple of hundred years ago, I'm repulsed and disgusted at the savagery - all performed in the name of fair and equitable punishment. I'd hate to think that future generations would look back on current society and regard us with that same disgust. I *would* be in favor of extremely uncomfortable imprisonment, for life, with no future judge ever able to grant parole. (by "extreme discomfort", I mean solitary confinement, bland diet, no perks at all and no medical treatment). If this causes misery, madness or suicide, the punishment has been appropriate justice for the bereaved. If someone murdered one of my loved ones, I would want the perpetrator to endure ongoing punishment for a very long time.

So what should we do to child molesters and child abusers. Feed them like a king inside prison. Death penalty is acceptable in some very serious crimes
@@joshjimmykurian2499 feed them like a king? The conditions in prison are absolutely horrendous. But I guess I somewhat agree that sometimes the death penalty is necessary in extreme cases. Like for serial killers. But I’ve heard too many depressing cases of innocent people getting executed and that really shook me.
What if you dont do anything wrong, would you still be afraid of the state wrongly accused you of sth you never done? Death penalty is usually carried out months if not years after the suspect proved guilty anyway. Keeping murderers in prisons not only cost ineffective and wont decrease crime in general.
Murderers will kill again if the opportunity arises. Without the death penalty. Murderers get rewarded with free food,free lawyers, free medical care,free counseling, free education,security free retirement. It they oil again if just starts over again. Even with the death penalty most getting it die of old age or illness. There is no justice when this happens. With 8 billion people in the world they don't need to live. They get a painless death at that. They get a last meal a lot of states let them choose their last meal. People make too much money on murder. I feel like it's a benefit to kill more than a punishment. And they get fame. That last one is sickening. With the death penalty being swiftly is only option for me.
@@iamaidansmith7542 if they used it for series crimes and the person was 💯 guilty with all strong evidence then yes, bring it back for Cold blooded killers. and Pedophiles to which imo are scum who can't be changed who should be hanged imo. Or emasculated.
Exactly these people who are pro -death penalty have too much faith in the justice system, when in actuality, "justice" depends on your social group (i.e. race, class, gender), the type of lawyer you have, your networking etc... Why would you want capital punishment in a corrupt jusice system?
One of the most debated things liked to be brought up is that it will be way to expensive to keep people on death row for the numerous years or the decades, that it may require, inorder to prove these criminals guilty, reason why that excuse can't be used, is I won't give an exact amount of number of people, who go on death row but for say certain amount of people, who may go on death row there may, infact there's a very big chance that a much larger amount of people, who decided, not to commit that crime and don't end up going on death row
@SILENCE EMPEROR no killer has the right to kill…that’s why there places called jails …hold them there until they pass away ..it’s not the government job to kill…
@SILENCE EMPEROR killing the person won’t take pain away it will always be there, even after the killer has been killed …I believe in a higher power other than government and it’s not at the hand of man…naturally if a person has killed , I would have hatred for them , especially killing a person within my family…but I still wouldn’t recommend death ..like a said and stand by life yes..but not death…I leave everything in his hands of the man upstairs …
@SILENCE EMPEROR..whatever way u believe in your world won’t have any effects on what I believe in my world …we all have limited time here anyway so it really doesn’t make a difference ..the harsher punishment would be a Iife sentence sitting in a cell for 24 hours day until there time is up not at the hands of any other …scared person..not at all …total opposite
Nah. When you look at particular cases and the stories behind them it really will infuriate a lot of people and wish death upon the criminals that did these certain crimes. I have been researching and watching videos of cruel crimes that were committed in Japan. Like one high school girl was r@ped tortured and beaten to death by a bunch of boys. When you hear more about the details it will really make you angry that these boys are just spending a couple of years in jail and will get away with these crimes and possibly do more in the future. It will make you wish that the boys were dead.
I found that people that do not support death penalty, lack sympathy for criminal's victims. Instead, these people see the criminal as the victim. If you have sympathy for the criminal's families. Why you do not have sympathy for the victim's families ? These people, who oppose death penalty, are just hypocrites. The research in USA about death penalty is flaw. If you look at the FBI files documentaries, you will heard these words very frequently - "The murder suspect is an ex-convict, who have histories of violent". If these violent criminals are given the death penalty instead of parole. The number of murder victims would have reduce significantly in USA. Many innocent people do not have to die. The only way the world can become a better place is to get rid of bad people. Death penalty is the solution. Don't see death penalty as evil when you enjoy the benefits of death penalty.
@SY S So they can go ahead and murder other people but we can’t do it to them either? If they felt sympathy about their life then they should’ve felt that when they were committing a murder.
The point is though, in basic terms, the death penalty is basically, the most horrible, inhumane, callous, flawed, wrongful, dark, and most petty punishment act that deserves to never exist, because it makes the rulers/governments appear just as bad and evil as criminals. If a person who is actually innocent and falsely deemed as a criminal, gets the death penalty, its mortally impossible to reverse, and it leaves an incredibly difficult stain on the ruler/system. It serves as a history lesson on what not to do when running a society. Its utterly disgraceful that certain select societies still have the death penalty.
So murderers and child abusers should be punished by giving them a cushy life in jail for the rest of their lives? I refuse to accept that. If someone did something horrible to my family there's no way I could sleep soundly knowing these monsters are living comfortably in a cell. They deserve to suffer
@@Edward-bm7vw There's no such thing as a comfortable life in prison. To retort in kind, do you want those wrongly accused to suffer? I don't think so, and death penalties doesn't deserve to exist.

@@airplanefood3576 Like it or not, imprisonment is still important as a stiff deterrent, unlike the death penalty due to the reasons already said. Demonizing is also wrong, because at the end of the day, the criminal is still part of our racial kind.

What astounds me, is that you did not even bother to listen to the whole comment I've posted, you didn't even bother to listen to logic. My overall answer to you, and to all those who try their hardest to justify the death penalty, is that not only do you give a shit about human rights, but your so called moral compasses are utterly shameful.
Personally, i think the only crimes that should be grounds for the death penalty are murder (in certain cases), rape and child molestation.

@@robertbones326 r@pe is not sick and sadistic?
When I was in college I had the choice of a few topics for my research paper. The topics available were abortion, death penalty and welfare. I chose what I thought was the least controversial topic, the death penalty,
I was very pro death penalty until I completed my research. When reviewing several death penalty cases I was a little surprised at my findings. In many cases, unless the defendant admitted to the crime, there was video evidence that clearly showed the defendant committing the crime there were problems with witness accounts, not having the body of the victim, police manufacturing evidence, prosecutors not sharing evidence with the defense, jurors who show no interest in the trial and judges that are in the courtroom but a million miles away.
What I found was most appalling was the manufacture of evidence by the police to secure a conviction and prosecutorial misconduct by the DAs office especially in high profile cases and ill-equipped defense attorneys who barely graduated law school and end up as public defenders. These public defenders are appointed by the judge to represent the defendant if he is unable to afford an attorney.
Then there's the work of the Innocence Project. These are law students who take on cases when they believe there is an issue with the trial.
As I stated I was very pro death penalty but after my paper I decided I could no longer support the death penalty. In Texas, for decades, there was no life without parole that's why there were so many sentenced to death. Several years ago the legislature passed a life without parole thereby reducing the number of those executed.
George Bush, the younger, was president he stated firmly that he is 100% sure that everyone who was sentenced to death and executed since the days of either the republic or since becoming a state had a fair, lawful and just trial.
Now than, that's a very bold statement to make. Considering he's never looked at every single death penalty case and execution in Texas going back to its admission as a state.
That statement made me think twice about how the death penalty is applied. As I stated I no longer support the death penalty because as much as we want to believe that everyone in the entire USA will get a fair trial from their time in traffic court to the most awful crime of murder not every one gets a fair trail. When you look at the variable the deck is stacked against it.
Right On.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you have an example of an innocent person being executed in the last 20 years in the US, when DNA testing came into its own? It very easy to assert that it has happened. Why don’t you give an example?

I've never read a comment that's so oblivious to the burden of proof. The death penalty isn't a default. It's not the responsibility of others to prove why the death penalty shouldn't happen. It's like asking a bank to prove why you shouldn't get a loan, while making no effort what so ever to explain why you're applying for one,
It isn't contraversal, it saves lives and money, both that could be used to help any country.

2. It is a cruel and unusual punishment, where basic standards of human dignity are compromised or undermined.
It continues the cycle of violence. Retribution is just another word for revenge-it is essentially just a form of the flawed thinking that two wrongs can make a right. The pro argument is that killing people is wrong; therefore, you should kill people for killing, which makes no sense. . .

There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once
for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’¹
If all goverments in the world applied eye for an eye on criminals the world would be alot more peaceful , criminals are not afraid of prison anymore they get free food and a place to live , you can't treat a murdrer with humanity if he has no humanity inside his heart
Good video but a few things u didn’t mention is what will be in place instead of the death penalty and whether going to prison for the rest of your life is a more harsh punishment as many people argue that if you lock someone up forever they never experience the joys of life and get beaten up by other inmates and get treated like crap and they have to live with that for the rest of their life and their pain and suffering will end decades later when they die from old age where as with the death penalty they are imprisoned then after a few decades it ends. I also think u could have talked a bit more about whether an innocent person could be executed by saying how efficient DNA, finger print and video evidence is and whether even that evidence can be false and also talk about evidence faked by the police in other cases where the suspected culprits were found innocent years later.

It works only when applied quickly and homogenously.
Some people argue it's not an effective deterrent, and the reason for that is because it's not regularly enforced. If there was less time between executing criminals, and implemented more frequently it would be more effective.
For it to be a deterrent its assumed those criminals are RATIONAL thinkers who are conscious about the consequences. Now you only need common sense to understand ANY rational person would be deterred with the idea of getting life imprisonment WITHOUT parol for their crimes.
Having a "worser" punishment (the death penalty) doesn't automatically mean one would deter more than another, BOTH would be able to deter a rational person. If you had the option to chose between 200 years of torture in hell or 500 years, obviously you would choose 200, but that does not mean the 200 years of hell WOULDN'T deter you.
The death penalty is just simply not needed and is INEFFECTIVE as a deterrent because of this second option (life without parol) is available and processes the same results.
: : : Getting rid of the death penalty would prevent irreversible mistakes, reduce a large amount of expenses and time.
I strongly support death penalty not because of deterrent, but rather making sure the murderer can't commit more murders anymore. Also I don't want the tax money being spent on food and medicines for those horrific criminals.

Out of all of the reported escapes in 2013, only one inmate from a secured facility was able to get away.
Some countries, including Sudan and Iran, use the death penalty as a political tool. It becomes a way to punish political opponents who might want to take their country in a different direction. There were a total of 2,500 death sentences recorded in 54 countries in 2018, with about 20,000 people currently under sentence around the world at the end of the year.
10. Children are sometimes put to death through the use of capital punishment.
There are at least 97 kids who were put to death by capital punishment laws in Iran since 1990. Another 145 child executions have happened in China, the Republic of Congo, Pakistan, Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria - and the United States.
Scott Hain, Toronto Patterson, T.J. Jones, Napoleon Beazley, Gerald Mitchell, Shaka Sankofa, Glen McGinnis, and Steven Roach were all put to death in the United States for a crime that they committed at age 17. Sean Sellers was executed when he was 29 for a crime that he committed when he was 16. 11. The evidence obtained to justify the death penalty is sometimes tainted.
There are specific guidelines in the United States today that limit how and when law enforcement can obtain evidence during questioning. This structure of protection is not always available around the world. There are numerous people executed after being convicted during an unfair trial, often on the basis of evidence or confessions obtained through the use of torture. Some defendants were not given adequate legal representation.
Some countries even use the death penalty as a mandatory punishment for specific offenses, which means the judge cannot consider the circumstances of the crime during the sentencing phase of a trial. 12. More focus on Rehabilitation for serious offenders murderers, rapists, pedophiles, abusers, and drug dealers Is more effective to reintegrate them back into society and also get them a job however not everyone can be rehabilitated and that's what maximum-security prison is for the keep them away from the Society but still treat them like human beings NOT like animals take away their freedom not their Humanity.

@@JacobStein1960 YES! They do work in prison systems, that focus on rehabilitation. (also in countries that have less income inequality, as majority of crimes are related to money)

Every anti-death penalty argument could be used as an anti-prison argument. Therefore I see no reason not to use the death penalty much more often and much more quickly . It's much cheaper than incarceration if we would get rid of the insanely long appeals process we use now. And no repeat offenders.
@@dcmarvelcomicfans9458 Singapore have mandatory death penalty for murderers and drug traffickers , and yet that country has one of the lowest crime rate in the world.
You know I have been to twitter and people usually tweet on the worst type of crimes like saying stuff like. “I hope you die soon” “I hope he gets stabbed multiple times until death” or “he should get the firing squad” despite the horrible atrocities people commit seeing the reaction of humans especially of this generation scares me… we may not have to forgive but god can. He can forgive anyone. He CANT hate anyone. I believe if someone truly tries hard enough. He or she can be redeemed. Even if it isn’t possible in one’s lifetime to redeem themselves from their actions. The soul can always be reformed. But when evil actions causes the rest of humanity to hold on to bigger anger and hatred. The main thought that lingers is “kill them its justice” im sorry….. I can’t agree with that

If "killing someone for killing" is wrong, that logic should extend to "locking someone up for locking someone up". I.e. the whole point of the justice system. (Prison)
A government cannot be held to the same standards as it's citizens, otherwise it could not manage them. I can't sue my prison for holding me in a cell against my will
I prefer the argument that the government shouldn't have the right to kill as a punishment, as it is too large of a responsibility for one to have. Especially someone in power.
It's not "if I can't kill, the government can't either", but "if the government can't kill, I can't either".
@@laurikaunisto7403 for 100% confirmed rapes e.g. audio video footage of it happening and murder with 100% evidence Yessss its right fuck criminals
When the criminal is waiting 20 years or more and the judicial system is still like "well we don't know if we should do it yet" I think that's cruel. Cruel to not only the criminal, but also the families and those involved because justice is not received and they have to wait on the edge of their seat for years. But it's also cruel to the taxpayers who are basically just paying for a dead man to live. Should take under 10 years to come to a conclusion. If there's not a conclusion within a reasonable amount of time, the sentence should be re-evaluated for life or a lower sentence or even release depending on circumstances.
Very informative, thank you!
Life of Torture should be a thing. Like seriously planned and organized torture for offenders. That will satisfy everyone, the believer and none believer that death is a relieve. At least everyone will be guaranteed that those people will suffer and be in a constant pain for what they did.

Thats fucked up
I’m afraid of you
It definitely deters criminals who care about their life and it definitely comforts families who dont want this crime to be done to other families by the same culprit
Then why is there still Crime happening? And what if the person they sentenced was the innocent? Executing someone is never going to give any one closure. If they say they got closure, then they are not only lying to you, but themselves
@@bronykingamethystrain5676 a deterrence doesn't prevent every instance. Innocents being sentenced is a indirect outcome of an imperfect society. It shows that the justice needs reform since no one should be sentenced unless proven to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt. The threshold for doubt should be so insignificant that the amt of innocents who are sentenced to death is so small in comparison to the amt of guilty ppl being sentenced to death that it justifies it. Murderers should not be given opportunities to go back into society or live their lives. The right to life should be automatically forfeit if they took away that right from others. The moral dilemma you suggest can easily be solved if we start thinking numbers. So lemme ask you this?
If killing one innocent child meant saving millions, would you do it?
Jail doesn't work sometimes else needs to be done
Beatings maybe
Check out noise
Jail doesn't work because punishment doesn't work to reduce crime
Its costly not a good deterrence and has been shown to bring less closure then just standard locking people up, and this whole argument detracts from the more important arguement of prison abolition and how we shouldn't have police or prisons.
Gaia I’m sent here for homework help
I feel like there is no right or wrong answer to this question. Not only do both sides have good arguments, but there are also people who have no opinion on the death penalty. The problem is that the question “Is the Death Penalty justified?” is entirely subjective, meaning that it cannot be answered by an objective standpoint.
BTW: This is coming from someone who neutral in this debate.
Hiya, may i ask where you got your statistics from?
deathpenaltyinfo.org
Yessss it works..one can see how many criminals get shattered in fear that how they ll be killed for inflicting pain and extreme brutality to others.. thinking of extreme harsh dealth penalty many criminals and potential criminals usually comes to backfoot bedore they commit any pre meditated crime..death penalty should be there forever
So... no second chances?
'One can see how mny criminals get shattered in fear.'
Yes, it surely deters the desperate people from robbing a store when they don't have food.
It surely deters someone murdering a burglar, it surely deters a depressed teen shooting up his school.
That's why the crimerate has gone down so much *cough cough* and why America still has 4 times more crime than for example the Netherlands. Oh oh oh how well it works.
@@CraftKiller-tv7gb In murder cases, definitely no second chances. The victim doesn't get a second chance so neither should the filth that killed them.
@@airplanefood3576 And what about life sentence? Wouldn't it also do the trick of not giving them a second chance?
@@CraftKiller-tv7gb Depends on what prison you send them to. There still are real prisons in the U.S. but many woke states have started turning some prisons into essentially shelters. Some give free food, warm beds, tv, workshops, and even job opportunities to make money in prison. Certain criminals like murderers and rapists should not get that sort of luxury as a reward for their crimes.
Pretending we know the minds of The Founders is a red herring. As wonderful as they all might have been, we can think for ourselves.
Yeah and we can't really rely on them. I mean some of them even wanted to abolish slavery but they shied away from it because of how much it would divide the country, it could be that it is the same case here for the death penalty.

😂umm ya. They end up dead usually
The death penalty is never, ever acceptable.
I'm against capital punishment because it's such an ugly and primitive act. When i look back at some of the hideous, weird and brutal executions metered out, just a couple of hundred years ago, I'm repulsed and disgusted at the savagery - all performed in the name of fair and equitable punishment. I'd hate to think that future generations would look back on current society and regard us with that same disgust. I *would* be in favor of extremely uncomfortable imprisonment, for life, with no future judge ever able to grant parole. (by "extreme discomfort", I mean solitary confinement, bland diet, no perks at all and no medical treatment). If this causes misery, madness or suicide, the punishment has been appropriate justice for the bereaved.
If someone murdered one of my loved ones, I would want the perpetrator to endure ongoing punishment for a very long time.
im suprised he didnt mention the anti death penalty argument of it killing innocence which is already at 4%.
False.
@@ltdc426 no, it's true. Well, if by false you mean "it could be even higher" then I guess you're right, but at least the documented cases of innocents put to death is around 4% of all the excecuted criminals
@@compa6251 about 1500 hundred murderers have been executed since Fuhrman was overturned. 4% is what, about 70 innocent people executed. Not hardly.

Here's a hint, #1 don't confuse exoneration with innocence. They are not synonymous. #2 courts don't declare 'inoocence'. They either hold you responsible, do not hold you responsible, or no longer hold you responsible. Not really sure how a pardon might fall in there but if you got one let's hear it.
@@ltdc426 so you only want names of people who are pardoned.
Otherwise you won't believe me?

That that 4% is a false statistic because it's all "wishful thinking" because you are certain every single person who was excecuted is 100% guilty?
And why do you not accept exoneration cases?
@@ltdc426 I just noticed another thing. You lied in your comment. The number of excecuted men and women since the '70s is not "about" 1500. It's over 8000.

Is Justin a pro?
I'm extremely against the death penalty 1.There is no credible proof that the death penalty works as a deterrent. In the US, in states where the death penalty has been abolished, there has been no significant change in the rates for serious criminal offenses, such as murder.
2. It is a cruel and unusual punishment, where basic standards of human dignity are compromised or undermined.
It continues the cycle of violence. Retribution is just another word for revenge-it is essentially just a form of the flawed thinking that two wrongs can make a right. The pro argument is that killing people is wrong; therefore, you should kill people for killing, which makes no sense. . .
3. It affects the poorer segments of society and racial minorities disproportionately, in part because they cannot afford the costs of good legal support. In the USA, although only 13% of the population is African-American, 50% of death row prisoners are African-American.
4. The justice system is bound to make mistakes. In the case of people who are wrongly imprisoned, they can be released from prison and given compensation, but a wrongful execution can never be righted.
5. The death penalty is not cost-effective. When all the practical and legal costs are taken into account, it is clear that the execution is more expensive than imprisoning for life.
6. A life spent in prison is a worse punishment than an execution. A life sentence prisoner has many years to endure their punishment, as well as experience remorse and reflect on his or her crimes. of law enforcement officials.
The abolition of the death penalty occurs most often in states where the murder of police officers is a very low percentage of all homicides.
In 2014, there were 14,000 murders that took place in the United States, but there were only 35 executions that took place.
7. It is used to control political messages.
The United States uses the death penalty exclusively for the punishment of crimes as defined by legal code and precedent. It is a principle which is not consistent for other countries in the world. 78% of global executions because of capital punishment come from just four countries when excluding China: Iraq, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. 8. Family members of a victim are adversely impacted by the death penalty.
The Marquette Law Review found that when family members go through the capital punishment process after someone they love becomes a victim, they have higher levels of mental, physical, and behavioral health problems when compared to when the perpetrator receives a sentence of life in prison. Although this issue does not happen in every circumstance, some family members can feel responsible for the fact that the government is putting this criminal to death.
Proponents would argue that capital punishment provides relief because it guarantees that person can no longer harm another, but there are many families who do not feel a sense of satisfaction with this action. If they are the ones who experience loss, then there should be a way to provide input for them. There are very few prison escapes that occur, and fewer that involve violent criminals.
9. The number of escapes from prison in the United States declined by more than 50% between 1998-2013, falling to a rate of 10.5 escapes per 10,000 prisoners in 2013. At the same time, the number of life sentences handed out by the court system has gone up by 500%. Most of the incidents that contribute to a prisoner escape come from low-security situations, like when 16 prisoners walked away from a work site and another 3 disappeared from a community work center.
Out of all of the reported escapes in 2013, only one inmate from a secured facility was able to get away.

I have been researching and watching videos of cruel crimes that were committed in Japan. Like one high school girl was r@ped tortured and beaten to death by a bunch of boys. When you hear more about the details it will really make you angry that these boys are just spending a couple of years in jail and will get away with these crimes and possibly do more in the future.

I found that people that do not support death penalty, lack sympathy for criminal's victims. Instead, these people see the criminal as the victim. If you have sympathy for the criminal's families. Why you do not have sympathy for the victim's families ? These people, who oppose death penalty, are just hypocrites. The research in USA about death penalty is flaw. If you look at the FBI files documentaries, you will heard these words very frequently - "The murder suspect is an ex-convict, who have histories of violent". If these violent criminals are given the death penalty instead of parole. The number of murder victims would have reduce significantly in USA. Many innocent people do not have to die. The only way the world can become a better place is to get rid of bad people. Death penalty is the solution. Don't see death penalty as evil when you enjoy the benefits of death penalty.

@Alpha Hybrid didnt jesus say you have to forgive your perpetrators?
In my perspective, the death penalty isn't about morals at all. It is about reducing the likelihood of potential killers committing murder.
The point is though, in basic terms, the death penalty is basically, the most horrible, inhumane, callous, flawed, wrongful, dark, and most petty punishment act that deserves to never exist, because it makes the rulers/governments appear just as bad and evil as criminals. If a person who is actually innocent and falsely deemed as a criminal, gets the death penalty, its mortally impossible to reverse, and it leaves an incredibly difficult stain on the ruler/system. It serves as a history lesson on what not to do when running a society. Its utterly disgraceful that certain select societies still have the death penalty.
So murderers and child abusers should be punished by giving them a cushy life in jail for the rest of their lives? I refuse to accept that. If someone did something horrible to my family there's no way I could sleep soundly knowing these monsters are living comfortably in a cell. They deserve to suffer
