If we had laws that were only allowed if we didn't think "If I am wrongly accused I don't want this law", then we would have no laws.
What?

It's fine to say that the percentages of Whites and Blacks put to death are pretty much the same, but when the Blacks represent just 13pc of the population, your figures pale into insignificance.
In 82% of the studies [reviewed], race of the victim was found to influence the likelihood of being charged with capital murder or receiving the death penalty, i.e., those who murdered whites were found more likely to be sentenced to death than those who murdered blacks."

I think you should just retire PNE, you're not going too well here.
Unable to argue with you, so I will tell you that you've lost the argument as that means I win.
Toby,
- I still believe some people aren't fit for society (I've met a few) and am sometimes for the death penalty. If someone is going to dedicate their life to ruining other people's, then they don't deserve theirs.
I wonder if that's ever happened, or is still going on anywhere now?


I would be if I wasted time with you.
Good one, very convincing blah-blah-simple talk ...where do you draw the line at murder, for instance, at what point on a spectrum of 'crime' does it become a choice between death and prison? Moreover, who decides? -Also, without some form of a humanitarian standard, could such a sanction be politically abused?
I was just stating my opinion. I think prison causes more problems than it solves, only serious crimes deserve prison sentences (see previous statement).
I was just commenting that sometimes, in a few occasions, some people are never going to fit back into society, and I've met people that I'd rather were dead than walking the streets. Luckily, I'm not in charge of things...

For the folk asking if we would agree with the death penalty if one of our family was wrongly convicted I ask you, would you not want it if your daughter was raped and murdered and the murderer was caught bang to rights?
And if you say no you are a ****ing liar.
ALL *****s should be executed. God knows these scum reoffend again and again only to be released by our ***** Judges who are guided by our ***** Governments.
And yes, if an adult shoplifts 10 times they should be executed too. If you know the punishment then don't ****ing do the crime. Why should I be paying more money for my goods to cover theiving ****s whom I no doubt already support through my tax paying for them not working.
I'd soon solve the overcrowded prisons problem.
So am I ...
