The death penalty achieves nothing but enticing fear into potential criminals.Most of them have mental health problems anyway, so death sometimes isn't an issue for them.
We are all after the hand of the top preppy

Honestly from the stories about botched chemical and electric executions, this is probably way more humane and less likely to go wrong for the felon.
A recent example had a guy essentially being tortured in his final moments from an injection execution gone wrong. Even a botched firing doesn't let someone suffer like that because a shot person simply won't feel anything before being put down.

And yet you'll lock up anyone who looks for Robert Thompson and Jon Venables location or identity.
How many toddlers have been beaten or abused to death in the UK?
Why is a mass murderer being put down instead of kept locked away forever at tax payer expense "humane"? What's so humane about being locked up for life?
Counter point...how many innocent people have been killed by the state?
Unless it's Professor X reading the potential convicts mind...then the death penalty should be abolished.
If that's not going to happen...then if it turns out the conviction was tainted by the law official, lawyers, juries or judge....then those responsible for murdering an innocent person should be tried for murder themselves...but that's never going to happen.

Oh...the argument will be:
"But what happens if the serial killer has the dead kids body in their hands with the bloody candlestick in the observatory then you would be OK with the death penalty"
And the argument about the citizens paying taxes to host serial killers...welll what's the population difference between murderers and drug related offenses? Want to save taxes...stop locking up most drug offenses.
Interesting...

While private prisons make up a small portion of US prisons, they flourish due to drug related incarcerations. So that won't be happening as long a profit prisons exist.

Then you'd end up with innocent people spending out their lives in prison. Personally I'd rather be killed.
Regardless yours is a non argument, you may as well say all laws should be abolished because of the odd injustice.

No one ****ing asked for your personal preference. If an innocent person is alive, there is still time and opportunity to correct the injustice. And it is not a non-argument, because the entire criticism of the death penalty is the finality of the punishment, you ****ing retard.
