For or against the death penalty?

Yes. Some criminals are so sub human that they do not deserve to draw breath.

For, absolutely. Do it quickly and publicly. People shouldn't sit on death row for +20yrs.

It should also be expanded for rapists and child molesters.

The history of the death penalty is horrible and atrocious. Countless innocent people put to death usually because they had no financial power to fight the charges. That being said I don't have a problem with the death penalty in cases where there is zero doubt such as with mass shooters. If the DP went away I wouldn't care.

Not sure if I'm for or against it, but it definitely should only happen in cases where there actually is zero chance that the guilty party didn't do the crime. Like an active shooter who gets taken alive.

We've had a few too many lifers and death row inmates get released on new evidence or because some evil cop lied for me to be okay with it currently.

The death penalty does not do anything to stop a psychopaths from killing people so it is not for stopping psychopaths from killing people. Psychopaths have no fear of death so they do not care. Prison also does not stop psychopath people from committing crime in general.

Was the death penalty invented by psychopaths to scare people who can feel real emotions? I can feel real emotions including embarrassment and I would seriously consider killing psychopath people if there was not any death penalty. Psychopath people know that if all psychopaths did not exist that the world would be a good place to live.

Death penalty to free up tax payer resources and make room for more sub-humans to reside in. Should also only be applied to folks that have absolute indisputable proof they were the suspect, everyone else no due to possible mistake or incomplete evidence of a innocent person.

Against, but that's mainly because I don't trust the legal system to not kill innocent people. If a guy filmed himself including his face and id before committing a massacre I would be okay with it. Unless he was intellectually disabled/criminally insane that is.

Categorically against. I am opposed to killing defenseless people who do not pose an immediate threat to anybody. It is barbaric. It is not justice, it is vengeance. Having the government do it is even more offensive.

On a practical sense, the death penalty it applied haphazardly, it is not a deterrent and has death sentences have been issued to innocent people. It needs to go.
