Interesting debate on Radio 5 , your thoughts should it be brought back ?

 

 

Only for Huns and Tims.

 

 

Seriously no it shouldn't be brought back.

 

What they should do instead is give the offenders who may have suffered the death penalty a little bit of a harder time in prison. Less comfy beds, longer working hours, less telly, etc.

nae sure.

 

If they brought it back, it would be 1st and foremost for child murder/rape( to begin with) ....however, I do not see the death penalty being a crime prevention, and im sure stats prove its more costly to have the death penalty (dont quote me) if not the same as jail time.

 

it would be intetesting to know the figures on repeat crimes for lifers, rapistis etc

Casualties of War.

 

Would the Nooseman be on good coin? Probably not, minimum wage with a performance bonus every 12 months based on crowd reaction.

 

Start stamping the foot to get the crowd clapping, hand to the ear, crowd are going wild, raise the thumb, crowd into overdrive........boom, snap the thumb down, open the trapdoor, spin round and both thumbs pointing at the back of your leather waistcoat as another criminals neck goes pop.

 

Ant and Dec, maybe a new show for Chris Evans show....

 

celeb guests to do the required deed.....

 

or you could have 3 green mile inmates being voted for each week, phone in for who gets the "chop"....if your saved 3 weeks running, you get a week in spain and then back to the public vote....

 

I can see the $$$$$$$$

Hangings to good for some c**ts

 

There should be a list of death sentence offenses. 1st degree murder, pre meditated rape, hunnery/fenianship and any sort of kiddy fiddling (note, these offenses are only in the order the popped into my head, I do not feel that gang rape is any worser than hunnery nor do I see any difference between kiddy fiddlers and fenianship). I also think that anyone with more than 20 convictions for any sort of crime should be euthanised. c**ts like that 'career criminal' that jumped off the bridge next to His Majesty's to try and get away from the security guards chasing him from the Academy (he had something like 30+ convictions) should be left where they land. If the jump doesnt kill them, the rope should.

 

Give them a trial, find them guilty, give them a separate sentencing trial to insure their conviction is sound, any appeal should be heard during sentencing, after that their fait is set. If the proof is indisputable hang them in the street.

 

Its about time c**ts learned respect, I'm sure the threat of a rope would soon stop some of the c**ts we have to suffer going out and thieving. If it didnt, they wouldnt be our problem for much longer.

I'm all for Death Penalty for Murders, rapists n paedos. There obviously has to be sufficient evidence, which is the problem with the whole idea.

 

Why should we, the innocent tax payer, have to fork out OUR wages to pay for these c**ts to sit in a comfortable cell, be called "Sir" by the guards (read that somewhere that guards were being made to call inmates "sir"...), have free Gym memberships, TV, Football practise etc etc when there are people out there earning minimum wage and working their asses off 12 hours a day 7 days a week to put food on the table for their families?

 

We need proper punishments such as:

 

Petty Crime - Public humiliation, 3 strike system where the 3rd offence is severing of hand (every subsequent crime is another limb)

 

Rape / paedo - castration, tatoo of crime on the man/womens forehead and body so they can never get away from it. A quick death is too good for most of these c**ts, so make them suffer. Maybe put them in chastity belts and force them to watch porn / strippers for 12 hours a day until they go crazy, then cut it off!!

 

The more I think about it, the more I believe i'm an evil b*stard!!!!

 

Seriously though, jail and fines just isn't cutting it. There needs to be better punishment to fit the crime which makes the perp want to avoid repeating offences. I think the 3 strikes system would be a good idea.

Actually it's a topic I pursue a great interest in. As I'm against it, a lot of my friends say things like, well just wait till you have kids, then you might change your mind etc etc. A few tradgedies that made the news stick in my mind. A lassie I think who was murdered in New Zealand. Her dad was from up north, either the Western or Northern Isles. When on the TV he showed compassion for the killer and said that he wished for him to rehabilitated in prison and stated that he didn't believe in the death penalty. Then there were the parents of the girl murdered in Japan and buried in sand. They were all for the death penalty and I think were upset when he didn't get it and instead got life.

 

I suppose I don't know if I will change my principles should I have kids, I hope not, but not all parents are for it. I can understand why people are though.

Regardless of the wrongs and rights of capital punishment, Is it nae an EU member condition that there is no death penalty?

 

Yes bebo it is.

 

I think they should bring back the death penalty for acts of premeditaded murder carried out more than once (peter toban type stuff), and treason.

 

Prison is far too easy a punishment now.

Can I just add that I have been to numerous jails throughout Scotland and they are not the cushy pads that some people are making them out to be.

Very basic cells, didn't see many TVs in cells, although there are TV rooms, they are restricted when they can go to the gym. They don't have to work which is something that suprised me, they used to but not anymore. The beds and pillows are pretty sh*t. And prison food is stodgy as f**k.

People get carried away by sensationalist headlines as did I but I got a shock when I visited them.

 

I suppose it's more to do with what do you see prison for rehabilitation, retribution, punishment etc? Having interviewed numerous prison warders about it and read HMI reports, them emphasis is heading more towards rehabilitation.

Human Rights can GTF.

 

I blame them for the amount of crime thats happening in Britain today. It's about time that criminals were treated as such. Commit a crime, lose your rights

 

I sort of agree but dont

 

Its not the rights that have created criminals, its the lifestyle that goes with having these rights.

 

I totally agree with criminals not deserving a lot of what are now classed as basic human rights. Human rights for a crim to me would be sleep, food, water and at most 4 in a cell.Voting, fun time, tvs, sky, pool tables, being able to sue the government etc these rights should be pulled straight away.

Totally, Human Rights for the most parts is alright, but they take things too far when you start having to give criminals the same rights as everyone else...thats a big No NO for me. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a cases where criminals have gotten out of jail because keeping them locked up and away from society is a breach of their rights.
