The Death penalty ☠️

The Death penalty ☠️

I'm not sure if you guys are aware of Wade Wilson VS Florida. A man who is waiting trail to be sentenced life in prison or the death penalty. This shook me. Because I automatically wished for the death penalty. He unremorsefully planned to strangle a girl to Death. After he was successful he stole her car and phone and found another victim. After he killed his second victim he called his dad to tell him. And told his dad when his second victim was still breathing he dragged her out ran her over until she looked like spaghetti.

I don't know the time frame but he has other girlfriends he's tried to strangle. So obviously this was a itch he had been waiting to scratch.

I think it's technically against my religion to believe in the death penalty. And my morals. But I just can't help it I don't want monsters to live on the same planet.

What do you guys think about the Death penalty? And if you know this case what is your thoughts?

Death penalty is the cowards way out. If we were really all about punishing evil we could 100% build a naglfar, be super easy and they'd feel like, so bad.

Oh i'm going to a new and improved super hell hell + version for my thoughts. Some people don't deserve to live... So you murder people? okies we fix it and take you out of the gene pool. Oh you like to torture people? lets do that to you? the problem is PEOPLE aren't all bad, they cannot imagine doing those things to another, but some can some people are just f**ked up.

Feels weird, rabid animal? put it down? Rabid person? "evolved animal" lets jail it. I swear it would fix a lot of over population in jails if we just took them out back and old yellaed them. I sound awful don't i. But its kinda awful nuanced also, said criminal was abused as a child, so became an abuser... now what?

But imagine if we could do that with the mass murderers that gain power? i mean we've had some giant ole genocides in our time...

I’m very pro death penalty but it needs to be done better. They say it’s crazy expensive to do that but I feel like logistically that could be the cheapest option since it’s one less person to care for in prison for life. So they definitely need to fix whatever makes it so expensive and then kill brutal people like that.

I do in part think some of the poor souls who get abused and treated so badly they become monsters is awful of its self, in my own case i chose not to become one. Amusingly a psych friend i spoke to wanted to use me as a case study, not sure if i should have been offended at her saying i "SHOULD" have become one myself.

But its digressing slightly, but rather on point, monsters are born and some are made though happenstance. I saw all the violence and hate and over the course of years said, doing that to others is wrong. But then even honest to the gods psychopaths know something is wrong in the way they see things. But again, some monsters just revel in it.

How expensive is a bullet anyways? oh not humane huh... I mean its quick? and if there WAS a bad place for awful people to go in the after life... they'd be f**ked for all eternity wouldn't they? gods what a fun topic this is

I know this story flyxglitter.

Apparently he was quite normal as a child etc... it's not till later when he sustained a head injury through playing football or something, he changed. I'm wondering if, he some how damaged the empathy part of the brain.

The interesting thing about psychopaths, not sociopath.
Is they are born, Apparently when they scan the brain, there brains are different, especially in the empathy part of the brain.

Now my question do they believe there born this way, inneutero? Or is it possible they sustained head injuries early in life?? What we call a ABI ( acquired brain injury)

I'm just adding more layers of complexity to things.

The other interesting documentary I watched was people investigating if we should put microchips in the empathy part of a psychopaths brain, to restore there empathy, but some believe it's playing with natural order& may not be consented.

All very interesting I think though.

Complex issue. As a determinist, I shouldn’t be pro-death because in a world without free will, no one deserves anything, neither praise nor condemnation. As Insidious notes, brain chemistry makes all the difference, and injury, psychological and emotional trauma, and just plain bad genetic luck are not things one chooses to have happen to them.

If this is really what I think, then the death penalty is only useful so long as it has some positive utility in society, i.e., serves as a deterrent. Apparently studies show that it doesn’t really curtail violence and never has. In less civilized times it was done publicly and served to brutalize the culture and normalize violence. In modern times the process is glacially slow, private, and as humane (in the West) as it can be made to be, so few if any criminals fear it. I believe the expense is primarily due to the appeals process and the costs of court, not the actual execution itself.

All this said, something instinctual in me still wants vengeance. Society seems to have a need for collective vengeance. Many of us closely link capital punishment and justice. Perhaps that’s cultural, perhaps it’s evolutionary, I don’t know. I do know that I think heinous, unrepentant killers should be removed permanently from this world and should be made to suffer immensely, not be killed “humanely.”

I have mixed feelings on the death penalty. On the one hand, really violent murderers shouldn't ever be let back on the streets, but life in prison also accomplishes that task. On the other hand it gives closure to families of those killed and provides a sense of "safety" in a way, as in the person is dead and for sure will not be released.

My only issue with it is that innocent people do end up being found guilty sometimes, only to be released later, but one cannot be released from death.

I agree with Grumman in that it's complicated

DSBM99

I don't understand why we just don't to tests on them. Like if they are 100% found guilty and are sentenced to death then why can't we do experiments on them? This will definitely help boost our knowledge of certain diseases or cancers.

To quote this. "My only issue with it is that innocent people do end up being found guilty sometimes, only to be released later, but one cannot be released from death."

That's my major issue with it. & who's to say people aren't corrupt within the criminal punishment system & they can frame up people for murder, that are just simply out spoken about something they don't like.

We don't have death penalty in Australia, we haven't for sometime. 1967 by hanging.

I heard statistics the other day 1 in 25 people are psychopaths. The thing is most psychopaths wreack havoc in society but they don't necessarily murder or become kilkers or serial killers.

I also looked up the jobs psychopaths are attracted too.

Everyone I have ever worked with has, at some point, called another colleague or coworker “crazy.” But does your job actually attract true psychopaths? In the book “The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success,” Kevin Dutton explains that there are jobs that can attract literal psychopaths – and also jobs that are least likely to do so.

It’s important to note that a psychopathic person isn’t necessarily one that is set out to kill others (even though you might feel as such on a Wednesday afternoon in the office.) In reality, psychopaths merely – and typically – just lack emotions and empathy, or the ability to identify with others. Dutton has said that ”a number of psychopathic attributes [are] actually more common in business leaders than in so-called disturbed criminals — attributes such as superficial charm, egocentricity, persuasiveness, lack of empathy, independence, and focus.”

This may explain why many of the jobs attractive to psychopaths – such as CEO’s, salespeople and media types – are often found in the tech industry.

So what jobs are most attractive to psychopaths? Here’s the list, originally published online by Eric Barker:


1. CEO

2. Lawyer

3. Media (Television/Radio)

4. Salesperson


5. Surgeon

6. Journalist

7. Police officer

8. Clergy person

9. Chef

10. Civil servant

I find that interesting too.

All that list shows to me is that psychopaths could be anywhere. I’ve known a little about this topic for a while ever since studying the Columbine High School massacre where one of the killers, Eric Harris, was deemed to be psychopathic after the fact. And yes, the vast majority don’t turn out to be serial or spree killers, they end up being everything between CEOs and low level con men. However, none of them choose to be this way. Once you remove the element of free will, the calculus of blame and guilt changes dramatically. For instance, the guy who shot up the University of Texas from a clock tower decades ago knew something was wrong with his brain. He had suddenly become much more violent and couldn’t seem to control it. In his death note he talked about this and said the authorities should study his brain after he was gone. Sure enough, he had developed a large tumor that significantly interfered with normal brain function. How much blame should we assign to a person in this position? Now consider that we are all only the sum of our genetics and our conditioning. Is punishment in the way we commonly think about it really the best way to deal with criminal behavior?

That is one of my points Grumman, so many more factors to consider. Science can explain so much more then just slapping the label, there just evil. Oh psychopaths don't have empathy, they would make great ceo's firing people & protecting the bottom line (profit) over people, there also usually charming & blend well into the community.

Sociopath as the name suggests Sociopaths (social) are made not born, there not usually charming, they don't usually blend into society well. They are a product of a bad system & bad environment.

There's lots of things to consider.

I believe in rough justice but if a man were wrongly executed then the cops are the murderers or manslaughter at least. So no.

Also how does killing the next guy make it right ?

It's. Not going to give any closure. Using lethal force is an inescapable reality of the universe, it happens when you swat a fly, or a squirrel eats a worm.

Let them have a right of reply and don't be like them.

Two wrongs is not a right. Sometimes justice takes time.

I am hugely opposed to the death penalty how can twelve random having a chin wag at a sabre rattling be an exemption to murder?

Some laws are just unenforceable, the death penalty is stupid. It's too unwieldy for a big faceless beurocracy to handle.

Crowcification we just had a big conversation up there about psychopaths ^^ they lack empathy. Not all psychopaths murder or kill. A lot cause chaos in society.

It well I imagine a lot dont feel much remorse sending people to war, & perhaps some join the military to murder & enjoy it.
It's interesting, you raised that topic. I imagine the ones that do feel guilt, remorse are the ones that suffer ptsd. It's a complex topic, because I sometimes think regular people can justify bad behaviour to themselves occasionally.

I don't believe in the death penalty. It fails on every point. It's not cheaper (the legal process in the US is more expensive than just sticking the c**t in jail for the rest of their life). It's not a deterrent (states with the death penalty have higher crime rates). It's racist (black people are twice as likely to be executed for the same crime). It's irrevocable (can't undead someone when new evidence exonerates them)

The great example I've seen was bought up by Ian Hislop on Question Time. In the height of The Troubles, 6 people of Irish heritage where arrested, charged and found guilty of an IRA bombing that killed and injured dozens of people. If Britain still had the death penalty, they would have almost certainly hanged.

Turns out, they were beaten and tortured into signing confessions, and the police actively suppressed evidence exonerating them. If they'd been killed, not only would this have been the state sanctioned murder of 6 innocent people, but it would have created 6 more martyrs for the republican cause, further inflaming tendons and leading to god knows how many subsequent deaths.

Grumman

Jul 12, 2024 01:36

Obviously there are many cases where people are convicted based on evidence and testimony, however flawed, but what about cases where the person is caught in the act or immediately after and there is no dispute over guilt? James Holmes was caught in the act of murdering a dozen people with an AR-15 at a theater in Aurora, Colorado. There is no need for excess court costs, appeals, processes, etc. A person like this should be killed like the rabid dog threat to society they have actually proven themselves to be.

But seriously, psychopaths are difficult to identify and isolate because they’re so good at lying.

@ Grumman, if they'd just stop being predatory and contribute to societal decency instead of degeneration, or at least just pursue interests that don't hurt anyone else, I guess I could accept them.

As long as they act in a predatory manner, I say gas 'em. Unequivocally. I believe that for human society to progress to a near-utopian state, the majority have to choose to be neither predators nor prey. That dynamic has no place in enlightened society. Therefore, people need to stop being psychos and pussys.

Why not put people in jail and let the inmates be the safety net?

Effectively an under he counter death penalty not administered by the state but by people who come to know them personally?

As bizarre as it sounds, some asshole killing 20 people with am AR15 is horrendous but it's still two wrongs don't make a right. If they shoot him on the spot then face their own checks FINE but a big chinwag at a sword rattling by a bunch of asholes getting paid for it then killing a guy or woman is WRONG.

DEATH is a part of life, and so is killing but I cannot agree with state sanctioned death penalties outside of a war zone.

2 wrongs don't make a right. If it were crime boss who is still a threat then it is a self defence decision.

There can be due process of law without execution. Short of a war zone anyway.

The money thing becomes irrelevant. The prison industrial complex makes so much money off those prisoners, alive. So let's not use the "Save the taxpayers money, just kill 'em" argument. It might be different on Death Row, but overall, prisoners are making the government way more money than it's costing them. I personally don't think killing someone is the worst thing we can do to them, so if that's the point, them we missed the mark. I think it is the point, and that's because it's biologically ingrained in us (most) to keep alive, at almost all costs.

Jul 26, 2024 04:00

@Gru: So when executions were more public, did that type of desensitization to death only create more violence? Or is that what's theorized? Because that makes a lot of sense to me.

And as far as the vengeance aspect goes, if the victims family members truly think it will ease their pain, even a little, then I sway closer to pro death penalty. As I understand it, judges do take family members wishes into account when sentencing.

And then there's the cases where the perp was horribly abused growing up, and that opens up a whole nother can of worms.

Grumman

Jul 26, 2024 13:15

Dümr, yes I think that’s the theory. It’s like how there’s a normalization of violence in modern cultures through the popular consumption of violent media. It’s not necessarily a straight line between playing violent video games or watching violent movies and then killing someone, and mass violence obviously existed prior to mass media. It’s probably much more complicated a relationship than I understand.

As for family members of victims,I’m always surprised by how many stand firm in their need for vengeance long after the crime was committed against their loved one. There’s usually a lengthy gap of time between the sentence and the execution being carried out, and one might think their feelings toward the perpetrator would soften over 15-20 years, but this is often not the case.

@Gru, that's some interesting stuff. I'm going to see what I can find on it. It seems to have some logic. I can only imagine what watching a public execution was like a long time ago. I could see how a person wouldn't be as impacted the 15th time as opposed to the 1st.

I went through a pretty powerful loss when I was 14. It's surreal how that sort of thing stays with a person. I would like to think that after such a long time I would eventually soften to thinking they don't have to die over this, but really have no idea how I'd take that. I'm guessing there's something hardwired into us that makes it incredibly hard to move towards acceptance, or some next stage of that grief, not that grief is linear, but, you know...

There is the saying, "when on a path of revenge, dig two graves". Because no matter how much revenge you serve out you will not only not get back what is taken from you, but also you in turn serve the damage of vengeance upon yourself. It is a consuming and self destructive cycle.

You don't have to forgive, but you should not let it linger in you.

Agreed Mercurius, revenge and holding onto anger is like "drinking poison and expecting the other person to die" or "holding a hot coal and expecting someone else to get burnt" as the sayings go.

It seems like a very strong, instinctual response though, which makes me wonder what its evolutionary purpose is.

Why are all the celebrities so sad? There's only so much bad poetry I can read.

I've always felt that it's a case of... You did it so we are justified in doing it as well. Not a strong enough case for me.

i do not believe in an afterlife so death penalty isn't a punishment. the fact is some people belong in a cage the rest of their life they are to dangerous to be outside in society. sad thing about that is we law abiding citizens have to pay to keep them fed every year which isn't fair, so nobody wins.

THE DEATH PENALTY for those who deserve it such as serial killers and that guy in Florida who killed all those people.. What if your family member was murdered on a street because the murderer wanted money, then killed your mother? If I could kill that person should I get the death penalty? The death penalty should be case bye case.
MOX I agree prison for life is more torturous than death... AND people do get framed for murder....Something to think about..

Watch the movie THE GREEN MILE it may change the way you think about the death penalty.

I am 100% in for trial by combat but only if its turn-based.

I believe there should be the death penalty. But not lethal injection.

Lets make it into entertainment - live action. We bringing back gladiatorial combat! Criminal 1 gets put against criminal 2 - winner survives another day. The one who doesn't? Well...the crows won't go hungry. If they refuse to fight...toss in a few more or give them lead enemas.

Either way, they need to suffer.

Lock them into a dark closest with a carnivore thats high on angel dust?

I can think of PLENTY of ways they get their subscription to life cancelled and suffer for what they did.

A decade ago, in 2014 - a father killed his infant...to keep playing xbox.

I can't even begin to tell you the creative ways I thought of to make that person suffer.

I actually do want trial by combat, I just didn’t want to be the first to mention it. I didn’t want you all to think I was a bloodthirsty psychopath sadist.

@Grumman. I got no problem mentioning it. I just don't frequent the forums. lol

And I don't want trial by combat. Both of these people aren't getting out. They are getting the death penalty - they've already had their trial.

This is a fight to the death, every day until they die.
