Ill just say that there are times in life a bullet is appropriate.

Otherwise dont kill anyone.

unfortunately the deathpenalty does more harm than good in whatever system its applied to

because humans can never actually know the truth

its a universal limitation, without omnipotence there is always innacurracy

justice exists for the innocent not for the vengeful

that must be an absolute in any system that claims to work for the betterment of people's lives

I dont believe in an eye for an eye

A murderer shouldnt get the death penalty right away

Im just saying the death penalty should exist for rare extreme cases

Like cult leaders or serial killers

if you have a death penalty innocent people will turn themselves into the court system with the understanding that it exists to protect them and then be put to death by it at the greater expense of the taxpayer no less. there is absolutely no method of designing a death penalty which does not have this result

you can only reduce its likelyhood, you cant guarentee it

Well thats on you. I dont think your going to change my mind but i dont deny what your saying

i just dont understand why you want to live in a country which a serial killer who's identity is unknown is eventually caught but it happens to be you and due to extreme police incompatence and the emotion of the people involved your put on death row while the serial killer for some reason chooses not to contenue, either because he doesent want to get caught, moves elsewhere, or dies due to some other mundain cause, in which case the police not being able to find any other evidence pointing to anyone else, not to mention being refocused just to find evidence for your case decides that instead of admiting they were wrong choose to do anything in their power (consiterible power because they will get away with it) to get you convicted and then you end up never being able to proove your innocence and you are put to death for a crime you never commited.

i only mention this in so much detail because its happened before in this EXACT way more than once

Well cause people die

im glad you care so much about your own life and the life of others for...what?

Should a person not be executed for comitting a crime?

what exactly do you get out of being so callice about human life including your own?

ive already explained how its more expensive, how you dont benefit from it, and how it doesent actually effect crime

Should ppl die if they commit a crime?

Its a simple question

is it the right question?

It might be

your life is worth a maybe?

Answer the question tho

should the state have the right to put people to death who are no threat to anyone?

regardless of commiting a crime or not

So then why should an individual?

Especially if it is for some petty crime like theft?

who puts people to death for theft?

Ppl kill intruders all the time

And they only intent to rob

yes, because self defense isint the court system asking you to drop all weapons, render yourself completely defenseless, allow them to put you in a box that you cannot escape from without external assistance, and then put your faith into them not killing you

So in that instance life matters less

life matters in self defense

An individual can dispense their own justice

Which im perfectly ok with

how does killing a man who is locked in a cage protect you any further from them?

Well cult leaders tend to poison the men of ppl

Terrorist leaders get broken out
