I can understand why some people support death penalty, but I think there are 2 big issues with it:

  • If someone turns out to be innocent, you can't undo the penalty.
  • Apparently it's fucking expensive.

 

Edit: some more stuff.

  • It's often very painful.
  • It doesn't undo the crime, so it's pretty useless.
    - Relatives of the victims don't get satisfied by the death penalty, and they often feel very uneasy about it afterwards.
    - It doesn't help lowering crime numbers in the country.
    - Community service would be a better punishment, this way they can still contribute to society.
  • Discrimination (mostly racism) is a serious issue.
