Yes, but only those who have taken the lives of others with undeniable evidence.
@ALcubbybear882yrs2Y
No, any use of the death penalty at any level of government is a clear violation of The Ten Commandments and I strongly oppose any and all effort to reinstate it
@8TVQYLP4yrs4Y
No, the focus should be on rehabilitation and reintegration, not corporal punishment.
@8SRK63G4yrs4Y
depending on the circumstance
@8KS4P7W4yrs4Y
No, no matter how horrible your crime is nobody deserves to die
@842VWLK4yrs4Y
no. end the death penalty for murder and other crimes but allow it in the case of war crimes, attempted genocide, and extreme terrorist attacks, like 9/11.
@8DP6P7F5yrs5Y
No, nearly four percent of people sentenced to death are innocent. The injections used in administrating the death penalty were also not developed by doctors, as it would violate a doctor's oath to do no harm. This results in a painful process with one step solely for the benefit of the onlooker. It's also cheaper to sentence someone to a life in prison. I also just think that it's wrong.
@8Y5H9DW3yrs3Y
No, we should be wary of giving the government the power to end the life of its citizens.
@92WTP233yrs3Y
No, it would be less expensive to implement life in prison without parole
@38LNC725yrs5Y
No, too many people are innocently convicted - even though in theory I would say yes for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, I do not trust the government to execute this sufficiently
@TheCornlord16104yrs4Y
No, if the death pentality is for extreme cases of murder then murdering said criminals should count thus rendering the process useless.
@MilesBHuff4yrs4Y
Yes, but only when the criminal is unrehabilitatable
@6T6Y4L23yrs3Y
Yes, but only for cases involving murder
@86SWRX94yrs4Y
No, but the decision should belong to the states.
