if that person murdered your family/friend wouldn't you want that dispicable excuse for a human being to receive the same fate, by having his life executed? i know i would.. my emotions would the get best of my judgement, yes i know. instead of me thinking that this individual is spending the rest of his life in prison rotting in a cold cell, i would like to get my hands on him and kill him with my own hands.. i would have nothing but sorrow if i were to find out if he/she escaped (i know im going really ahead of myself ) and the thought of that person can commit harm and do even more hideous actions to someone else..
yes i agree with you david..killing someone cause they killed someone else is not justified...but if you were in this position..im very positive that you would want that individual who caused pain, hurt, and emotionally scar you for the rest of you life, to be tortured and executed without any sympathy...
i wouldn't want them to suffer the same fate. I think detainment is more humane, and then we aren't as bad as the murderer. I mean, by having a state justified murder doesn't make it anything different on a basis where we get rid of all legality. Killing is bad, and killing the killer is just as bad as killing the victim. But i know people are split on this issue. I'm not just saying this to be consistent with what i was saying either. I really think this. I woulnd't want to be involved in the torture/execution of the person because it's not ethically right in my standards. I'd be really mad, but i don't think i'd ever advocate capital punishment even in the heat of the moment. Though i won't rule it out because i haven't been in that situation, and don't know for certain what will happen. But i say it's unlikely that i'd switch views. I'd be content with the person being detained for the rest of their life, and their life being over through detainment rather than death. Death is so uncertain to me...I mean, what happens after death. Please no one answer that in this thread in order to stay on topic. If you want, make another thread . I think i might.
