I’m in favor of killing a few innocent people so that no guilty man goes free or lives another day, if he/she were facing the death penalty.

It is the sacrfice that some innocent people will have to make. Kind of like war. Innocent people die to protect us. In the war on crime, same thing.

Really? What if you were the innocent person?

It’d suck. What about the people who lived and/or avoided the wrath of someone who was a repeat offendor or parolie because we had a system that was more aggressive?

I’m not against the death penalty, and that is a GD issue.

We could go 'round and 'round, and we won’t because this is IMHO.

The Birmingham Six would like a word with you, OP. Fortunately, the death penalty here in Britain had been eliminated since the early 1960s.

'I’m in favor of killing a few innocent people', you say? Okay.

You're cuffed, stuffed, put on trial, found guilty & end up on Death Row. Your move.

“Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” award?

If you kill an innocent person, the real perp is still around and you accomplish ZILCH!

Go eat a shotgun shell, jerk!

Karamazov, the idea is to ensure justice, not kill as many as you possibly can. (Someone forgot that Justice has a succoring side, not just punishing.)

Go move to North Korea ,you fascist, sociopathic swine! You'd fit right in there.

I am an advocate of death penalty and I'd prefer guilty go free yhan innocent person killed or even incarcerated

Kind of like war. Innocent people die to protect us. In the war on crime, same thing.

But that's just a figure of speech. We're not literally at war with crime.

And so would the people that this movie is about: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107207/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

I'm for the death penalty in theory but against it in practice specifically because innocent people can be executed.

Now if there was ever a 100% infallible method of proving guilt, then I'd be completely for it.

I do, however, completely oppose any murderers ever being released from prison. Life without parole, period.
