Forums - Politics Discussion - Would you kill a killer?

No. No one deserves to die, not even a killer.

I would say that anybody who would kill another person (outside of self defense) would have to have some sort of mental problem.

Depends who they killed. If it was a member of my family, I don't think it would be an issue for me apart from the threat of gaol time.

Death penalty? No

Problem is that there's a lot of wrongly convicted people, too many innocent lives have been killed because of the death penalty. Why not just have them rot away in a cell to be safe?

But if you're talking about in self defense, yes.

What's the point? Keeping them in a cell for life is expensive and kind of a waste in tax payer's money! 

Innocent lives will be saved...

It's not like those imported lethal injections are cheap, hell they don't even work half the time. Now that's a real waste of money

If you would kill a killer would you then kill yourself? If not you're what we call a double standard killer.



Like many said, it really depends on the conditions
If the killer had a mental issue or killed someone by accident i.e car accident, then no
But if the killer just kills people for money and other reasons, they deserve to die

But I don't I could take another persons life

I said I would never kill another human being... That is because I don't have a gun! If I had one I would kill everyone.

Just kidding, I guess I would do it if it was self defense but... you never know how you are going to react in such a desperate situation. I wouldn't enjoy it though.

To add, death penalty cases actually can cost a lot more because they have to take extra percautions and checks with the legal system, and the extra years of lawyers, legal aid, jury selection, etc for a death penalty case being appealed/worked on multiple times can end up costing even more.

My thought process against the death penalty even as a conservative/libertarian is that I don't want the government having the power to decide life and death over the people. Even if a jury of your peers decides it, lawyers and judges still play a big part in the system itself and sway things in this unidealistic world.



If he is about kill me, I wouldn't doubt any second to kill him, no matter what.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
