I believe that it depends on the person and their situation or crime. Some people really do deserve second chances and others don't...! Really it is not up to me to decide if someone should live or die its the lords decision, but I do believe that even if a person is not sentenced the death penalty they will still suffer and feel pain! (if they truly have a conscious) Because night and day almost 24/7 all they will almost think about is their crime and sadly the innocent victims! Now when it's the death penalty I believe you die immediately, meet The Lord, and he chooses your fate (punishment) from there!

The death penalty also known as capital punish is immoral in my opinion.If an individual has been convicted of first degree murder/manslaughter,then I believe that person should serve life in prison,and just that.God Is the only one who can take a life.living in prison is enough punishment.you might as well call it a dead man walking.the government is very insensitive when it comes topics involving the death penalty and abortion.I believe that it is time for change.

No. Because if the person is killed then proven innocent, you can't get that life back. Also, I don't think we should be deciding whether a person dies. We've all heard of cases of a person being in jail for 20 years, and then evidence is found proving them innocent... I wouldn't want that on my shoulders.

No we need public executions our Government needs to put fear into the people. Because people have no fear of our Justice system. To many of them think our laws are a a joke. And personally I hate to say this but its true. IMHO

It's wrong and hypocritical. How could you kill someone because of a crime they committed while you yourself are committing a crime? I think prison is the best solution for punishing criminals. And besides, people might change! You have to give people second chances! So,e hard core criminals may learn a lesson after years in prison! The death penalty is wrong! Who gives government the right to take someones life?

@Tweetybird😘 The chances that someone who has committed such a horrid crime will become a good person while they're locked up with a lot of violent short-tempered people is very low, especially since the people who commit these crimes are often sociopaths and therefore feel no empathy for others. And even if they did change and become good people, why would it matter? They still ruined and/or taken away lives. They can't make up for that. They can't do any good in a cell to try to counter the evil they've done. They can't take anything back. All they can do is realize what they did was wrong and hate themselves for it. Sitting in a cell surrounded by criminals hating yourself for your entire life.... I'd much rather die than do that

@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 I know you are right! I just hate the idea of the death penalty because I don't know! I have something wrong with me that even though people may commit the most horrid crimes they don't deserve death! But you are right I just can't help but feel for those people because I know death to me is the most terrible permanent thing, so to make it lawful to invoke the death penalty just seems terrible to me!

I don't think anyone has the right to decide who should die and who shouldn't. No matter the crime being locked up for life lets the criminal think about their crimes. No one person has the right to play God

Pfft. If someone takes away a life, I don't think it a bad idea to take away theirs. An eye for an eye, as they say. Of course, it depends if they have some sort of mental issue.. But I suppose anyone who takes a life in the first place isn't so right in the head.

@Michael So you're saying that if someone were to committ mass murder and they were being put on death row, it would be uncivilized?? Its uncivilized for someone to committ a crime, and its not violating human rights if you committed a crime and your being put on death penalty, because oncr you committ a felony, you lost your rights
