So for people who against death sentence, if i kill your whole nations, family, friend, your wife, and your children, i will be gladly stay happy in prison eat a free food and reading a book. LOl

Well if you kill another person you are a murderer, if you kill a group you are a terrorist, if you kill thousands your are the president of a country and a hero; funny how things work? :)

And how does killing a murderer help those affected? It will not ease their pain, it will not help them put things behind them and it will send the signal that murder is ok, as long as the society says it is.

I thing it's not funny especially when we talk about "INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING KILLED",  it just to funny how you people againts a death sentence, death sentance is not about revenge or ease the pain of some victim, it's more then that,  it's in human to punish a person in prison actually if the reason is to torture.

it will send the signal that murder is not OK, because you tell to other potential murder who is not "sick mentally " to become more serious if they want to act with this crime. It will send a signal to all society that murdering people will judge seriously.

Statistically, having a death sentence does not reduce cases of crime. (The correlation is very slightly in the opposit direction). Prison is not torture in all parts of the world - european nations largely continue to treat them as people, prisons serving mainly to rehabilitate criminals (with surveillance of psychiatrists), and keepimg them from doing any harm untill the treatment is over.

even for a criminal, I do not see the point of doing any harm soley for that purpose. Northern Europe shows that it is very possible to have low crime rates with mild punishment, in that case, why not?
