The Death Penalty



-
If there is any chance that the person did not commit the crime I find capital punishment to be an incorrect sentence. So if a black guy is accused of killing someone, but it is only his word against someone else, for sure we should not risk executing a person that might be innocent.
-
But where the person 100% totally clearly did commit the crime, and it was a really horrible one, then I think it is foolish and a waste of money to keep the guilty party alive and in jail. Not only is it a waste of money but more important it is a spineless cop-out.

In the case of S. Hussein, he is clearly the worst and most evil war criminal since Stalin and Hitler. Every effort has been made to give him a fair trial. He and his bozo lawyers have made a mockery of the trial. Just like Hussein mocked the UN and pretended that he did have a program of weapons of mass destruction. Well his lying ended up screwing up his country big time. He is not just evil. But a dumb ass too.
-
No civilized society has any reasonable choice other than to execute an animal like this guy. It really is necessary. Does it prevent or discourage others from doing the same thing in the future? Probably not, but keeping a guy like this alive would actively encourage others to do the same sort of things.
