Por pura curiosidad humana...

¿Si supierais que no seríais arrestados ni juzgados por la ley,cuantos de vosotros cometeriais un asesinato? ¿Si tuvierais la oportunidad de vengaros de esa persona que tanto daño os ha echo,serías capaces de cometer tal crimen?

Seamos sinceros...

death penalty

after watching death row and their last meal. i learn lot of evil people in this world i see they have different types. some is malice others just seem strayed path. but they made it where not one person make the decision so one cant come back say this judge or this person is in favorite made fair as possible i guess. and different ways the penalty is carried out. from the i guess want call it peaceful the injection where you suppose not feel pain you just go to sleep death. as the victims look at person who slash their mom;s throat say how sorry he is and how he be with jesus. they look at you for you to forgive them to the most violent the firing squad they do you like in other countries no love cus. you bout feel cold steel erupting your flesh. no need look at the victims then they put bag over your head. but some how with all this intake. we say let god judge em out. we still got increase if not anything of deadly crime. so is the death penalty doing anything. a life for a life is right for second but that energy if you know bout these things. got go some where like water after hard rain. if dont go anywhere find its own root. that person you execute that evil energy goes back in the community either in the prison system or back where he slash your mom's throat . now someone killed your cousin at the store. different person same energy. what one should do. stop it before it goes anywhere. take out their eyes. all peoples who have taken someone's like meaningful you take both their eyes out. let them live. without eyes how can you kill? soon so many be blind peace will automatically restore back to community those who not blind are the good ones

Capital Punishment Is Human Sacrifice

Roberta M. Harding, "Capital Punishment as Human Sacrifice": https://uknowledge.uky.edu/law_facpub/373/

I am recommending the linked article above, and contributing the following analysis, as I believe the human sacrifice critique strengthens the intellectual case for death penalty abolitionism (and I make no apology that my neurodivergent mind prioritizes systemic analysis over standard Reddit style).

Just as we need to accept the scientific consensus about the social inutility and discriminatory impact of the death penalty, we also need to accept the scientific understanding of human beings as inevitable products of biological and environmental determinants, some of which are criminogenic. Science, in other words, discredits both consequentialist and retributivist arguments for overriding the presumptive right to life, suggesting that moral opposition to capital punishment abolitionism, in denial of this science, is merely a retaliatory mindset rationalized by a prescientific ideology of cosmic or inherent justice.

Lethal retaliation in the name of cosmic or inherent justice is unintelligible outside a religious or quasi-religious worldview, for at least implicitly it presupposes a divine or natural law, a transcendent or immanent moral order of some kind, whose balance must be restored by expiation when it has been grievously violated.  This belief is a primitive superstition traceable to the ancient origins of the death penalty as a cultic practice, which is why capital punishment has been analyzed by scholars as a modern form of human sacrifice (placing it in the same category as ritual murder, blood feud revenge, honor killings, lynchings and pogroms).  Such a worldview is incompatible with a scientific outlook, which validates no laws or normative orders except natural regularities and social constructions.

In the case of punishment, the relevant natural regularities are those involving the biological evolution of punitive instincts as adaptive mechanisms for securing individual and collective survival, while the relevant social constructions are those involving the cultural development of punitive instincts into moral institutions for maintaining harmony and righting imbalances. By demystifying this equilibrating function of punishment, thus interpreting the restoration of harmony and balance in social-scientific rather than superstitious terms, we ipso facto shift the corrective paradigm towards restorative or transformative justice — a framework which arguably preserves the best, while eliminating the worst, of both retributivism and consequentialism (a dialectical synthesis), and which experts have proposed as a progressive alternative to either the death penalty or counterproductive incarceration.
