brewsterbudgen Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Lifetime incarceration? How many criminals serving lifetime sentences stay in jail for life?I've no idea. Certainly not enough in the UK, although the likes of Peter Sutcliffe, Levi Bellfield and Ian Huntley will be. Ian Brady was another one.

brewsterbudgen Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yes, on an island. That means exile from the human population that is at risk because of your acts. However. Crimes of passion are understood in many courts another way. A far cry from premeditated murder. However again. Murder is murder and the incarceration and the conditions of incarceration should fit the type of murder. Murdering a 5 year old, for example like Paul Scully in an act of brutal commercialism and satiation of impulses so vile they defy the imagination, should invoke incarceration for life along with deprivation, or added punishments. Yes? No?Never heard of Paul Scully. Where did he commit this act?Sent from my SM-A500F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the brand of phone have to do with this horrible, needless death? Perhaps they wouldn't have killed the poor kid if he only had a Samsung..... I was just defending my choice of phone. Personally no matter how much I love any tech product I would not die nor kill for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 To those who still do not get it, it murderers are put to death, they will never kill, rape, steal, or pillage again, so I do agree that the death penalty does indeed work, as no one that I know of has ever come back from being dead. For anyone to kill someone else all because of a cell phone, or for any reason, that they commit first degree murder, well good riddance to them.

The problem seems to be that everyone is judging death penalty by how good a deterrent it is for would-be murderers. Preventing the possibility of further harm from known offenders is reason enough to clean them out of existence IMO. Why waste money on incarcerating them?

You have a right to think another way and I won't call you an obtuse, conservative, brainwashed nincompoop, because I am civilized :-)) As long as you keep calling the death penalty "revenge", you'll never get it. A reasonable trial by a court, leading to a death sentence is not revenge. It's justice and punishment fitting the crime. You use "revenge" to add an emotional flavour to something that needn't be. It's not the families of the victims putting them on trial - It's a country trying to save their population from harm... As long as there's a decent period time for the sentenced people to appeal, it's quite civilised. These criminals all know in advance the penalties before they kill. Probably many of them aren't afraid to accept the consequences if they are caught. For the evolutionists, think of it as taking antibiotics to kill an infection. We're all just life forms that happened along. For the Christians, it's in the Bible - an eye for an eye. It's all about accounting. Your attitude that lifetime incarceration is more appropriate is more about "revenge" than just executing them. You feel they will suffer more by being kept in a cage. You're more about "vengeance" than the death penalty advocates. I know I'd rather be executed than spend a lifetime rotting in a Thai prison.

I'm in favour of wiping them out and relieving society of the financial burden and any future risk of harm after some do-gooder politician or leader decides to forgive them and then release them.

JustNo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 17 hours ago, tropo said: It's a bit of a stretch suggesting that the murder rate in the US is because of capital punishment. You're just making it up to fit in with your theory. Did you consider the possibility that the murder rate in the US could have been much higher if there was no capital punishment? I theorise that the high murder rate is due to several factors, like with most things in life there will be more than 1 defining factor. Capital punishment though seems to be one of those factors. Any scientist would not be able to ignore the data that, for the most part, countries without capital punishment have a lower murder and crime rate, and those who still use it have a higher murder and crime rate. It's called a trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 There's no perfect system. The death penalty usually comes with some collateral damage. It's a small price to pay for getting cold blooded killers out of our universe.POOR "cold blooded killers", rich "cold blooded killers" get to run countries and never face justice for the thousands they kill.

observer90210 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 crime and punishment ver. 4.1 if a death sentence, anyplace in the world, carries 0% doubt on the guilt of the deserving culprit, so be it... if a single death sentence, can claim deterrene to 1 sole potential criminal to perpetrate, so be it... if not...drop it! © Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you do not wish for somebody to die because they have caused a loved one of yours to die, doesn't mean you love them less. In fact it means you have compassion for yourself to not become ridden with anger, vengeance and all of those ugly things. Sure you will experience these ugly emotions, but if you can rise above them and not let them engulf you, you have then transcended stooping down to that ugliness of revenge and killing. Gotta agree to disagree on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree! Just one question! If we would use halving on the death sentence. Does that mean the perp can choose if he want upper or lower body dead? It makes no sense, I know. These people just don´t think with any head. Awyway, I am all for it. Now it´s just carrying out the sentence that is going to be the problem. As it looks now, these guys are going to be around 85 before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Death sentence. Doesn`t seem to mean literally in Thailand. If or when it happens, I`ll believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Death sentence. Doesn`t seem to mean literally in Thailand. If or when it happens, I`ll believe it.Yes. The sentence is normally reduced to Life by the King. The last executions were in 2009 when two drug traffickers were executed by lethal injection.
