Norman Tebbit a man who kicks children because he objected to the noise they were making has in knee jerk reaction called for the death
penalty for the killers of PCs Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23. No never
the death penalty demeans us all it is no deterrent and it quite likely
causes more deaths
There are many reasons against the death penalty and one of
the principle reasons is it probably causes more deaths it is the government
saying hey it's ok to kill someone who is not an imdeiat threat to you. That
attitude rubs off on people, for some reason society behaves much like the
government. When the government gets into massive debt so does society. When government
says its acceptable to kill someone who has cannot harm you because they are locked
away in prison. People think it is ok to kill for other reasons such as jealousy
or greed and so it becomes more common. It is not coincidence that societies
that have the death penalty also tend to have higher rates of murder than nations
that don't.
But ultimately the number one reason against the death
penalty is that all murderers support the death penalty. They believe that it can
be justified to kill someone who is not a direct threat to them. Indeed they believe
it is justified to kill someone out of petty hatred or for any other pathetic
reason. There is only one time it is acceptable to kill another human and that
is to prevent them killing you or someone else. Any other time it is simply
wrong and reduces you to the level of a murderer, it is the same cowardly mentality.
