I think that now we can prove, with DNA testing and suchlike, that someone who is guilty of a crime such as murder, rape etc should be put to death.
Why keep these evil and dangerous people alive at the tax payers expense?@rubenesquefemale wrote:

Why keep these evil and dangerous people alive at the tax payers expense?Kill the perverts, and the low lives and half the population is sorted…..plus we can sleep better in our beds, knowing the man over the road isnt eyeing your kids up, or the woman at the corner shop butchered her husband.
I think its a good idea, providing there is no mistake of course.
The good thing about the death penalty is that the little shytes can’t get outta jail and murder or rape again
Surely the greatest point against the death penalty must be the Birmingham 6?
I guess so far I’m in the minority here. I don’t believe in the Death Penalty as I am a Catholic and believe the “Thou Shalt Not Kill” rule. They only way I could are if my family or I was being attacked. Sooner or later everyone will die and that is when the judgment will be handed down. For all those who honestly deserve the Death Penalty, it’s going to be worse than any torture we could ever pass. I do believe that they should be locked up for life and any luxury they could hope for would be taken away. I know some of the prisons are way too nice for these people to spend their end of days in.

Just slightly aside from the topic – but this Birmingham 6 thingy has always puzzled me.
OK they were originally convicted of killing all those people in Brum, imprisoned, and many years later their convictions were overturned on appeal, and they were released.
The bit that puzzles me is this. Why, given that they were totally innocent of any sort of involvement at all, did the Police arrest them in the first place???
I mean, there they were presumably living in or around the Birmingham area, going about their lawful business as most everybody else does, when along comes Mr Plod and arrests them for, apparently, no reason at all. Not only that but then they are tried at great public expense and so on. What on earth made the Police just pick on 6 guys at random???
Can anybody shed any light on this at all???

Especially if they are wrongly convicted. Mistakes can still happen regardless of DNA testing etc etc etc
Isn’t it a little hypocritical saying killing is wrong, then punishing a killer by killing them?!?

Not at all chatter – you could then take the argument that kidnap and being held against your will is wrong – yet you lock people up in jail – isn;t that a little hypocritical
I’m not advocating the death sentence for all crimes – there should be a scale of some sort – all I was trying to get across is – if they are killed – there’;s no chance of them getting released and commiting the crimes again – which happens all too frequently

PML – yea right
The police and the courts will always make mistakes and that’s why the death penalty is not an acceptable punishment.
