I can't think of any reason why someone should die for their crimes.

What is a scenario where someone should die for a crime they've committed?

When you think of death, you have to see it as the easy way out. A relief of a someone's sins. It is not a true form of retribution.

The current method of rehabilitating people is obviously not working either.

We should introduce excruciating pain. You will want to attack the core fundamentals of humanity, the desire to avoid pain. This actually transcends humanity. You can hit a dog when it has an undesirable attribute and it will eventually learn to change its actions.

Well, what do you think?

Thanks for the one star but I'd like to know why. Don't be a coward @Shogun

Theodore Robert "Ted" Bundy (born Theodore Robert Cowell; November 24, 1946 – January 24, 1989) was an American serial killer, rapist, kidnapper, and necrophile who assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. After more than a decade of denials, he confessed shortly before his execution to 30 homicides committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978; the true total remains unknown, and could be much higher.

Bundy was regarded as handsome and charismatic by his young female victims, traits he exploited in winning their trust. He typically approached them in public places, feigning injury or disability, or impersonating an authority figure, before overpowering and assaulting them at more secluded locations. He sometimes revisited his secondary crime scenes for hours at a time, grooming and performing sexual acts with the decomposing corpses until putrefaction and destruction by wild animals made further interaction impossible. He decapitated at least 12 of his victims, and kept some of the severed heads in his apartment for a period of time as mementos. On a few occasions he simply broke into dwellings at night and bludgeoned his victims as they slept.

Initially incarcerated in Utah in 1975 for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault, Bundy became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in multiple states. Facing murder charges in Colorado, he engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults, including three murders, before his ultimate recapture in Florida in 1978. He received three death sentences in two separate trials for the Florida homicides.

Ted Bundy died in the electric chair at Raiford Prison in Starke, Florida, on January 24, 1989. Biographer Ann Rule described him as "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control he had over his victims, to the point of death, and even after." He once called himself "... the most cold-hearted son of a bytch you'll ever meet." Attorney Polly Nelson, a member of his last defense team, agreed. "Ted," she wrote, "was the very definition of heartless evil."

i sort of agree...sometimes people do such despicable acts that death seems like the only option, especially since "cruel and unusual punishment" is banned..

personally i think chinese water torture and other shyt like that should be used against them instead of just killing them off in such an easy way. at least beat them to death with a bat or decapitate them with a dull knife...

the one thing is people who are wrongly accused and jailed would get way bigger settlements after enduring some crazy punishments like that

Some people probably "deserve" to die for their crimes, but I think such a judgment is subjective and not one that a government or jury should make.

Plus, there are various other issues with capital punishment such as

1. It's more expensive to put someone to death than it is to put them in prison for life
2. Minorities and poor people are much more likely to receive the death penalty than others for the same crimes
3. There are plenty of people that have been wrongfully executed


That's my two cent.

Plus, it seems like most death penalty supporters are religious (even though you'd think otherwise) so I figure they should just agree to let God handle it.
