I have the strange belief in an Eye for an Eye , I could make a List of 50 Subhumans that should be removed saving perhaps a billion from the public Purse ..
Lets Start with Mr Peter Tobin and see what Luvvy Civ Lib believes this thing has any rights  I believe the Vote should go to the People, Brussels is Finnish   |

hang on on i see what you have done here. you have confused nazi death squads with capital punishment.
easy mistake to make but with the capital thing we need a trial, judge. jury blah de blah. it's so tiresome. with your idea it's really just murder who you don't like & if anyone objects murder them too. Marvellous! |

By:
One way or another the death penalty will return in the UK within the next 50 years.
Whether it be by a right wing take over based on too much crime in the cities or the far left encouraging Sharia Law to emerge it’ll happen. Choose your method, lethal injection of beheadings. |

By:
i'd go for beheadings - the injection as used in the USA often doesn't work

we could ask our friends the Saudis how to do it properly

the current government would probably put the execution contract out to tender

Fantastic news for murderers, Group 4 would c0ck it up so badly they'd go into the execution room dying of cancer and come out cured.

Yes I dislike People who Commit Multiple Murders Child Murderers and Terrorists among many ,I believe these people should be destroyed as Cheaply and Quickly as possible ... Why are you mentioning Nazi Death Camps where innocent people were Murdered ? At least some of their Murderers were Hung and rightly so ,but then again the likes of you would probably find something wrong with that .. You obviously believe these type of People have rights ? You sound like a wrong un to me ? Perhaps you can explain to us all why the Likes of Peter Tobin deserves to live .... |

The death penalty is "Too lenient, there's always the possibility of reincarnation".
Not my words you understand, but those of that fine American police officer Sledge Hammer, circa 1986). |

If I've remembered it correctly, there are only one, or two, people in the USA, who will provide the ingredients for a lethal injection!
Haven't tried it yet but, apparently, it's not the best experience for the victim! Whilst some would want this not to be a comfortable procedure, it could be more civilised by first putting the person to sleep, and then administering whatever would be the best, most reliable, and none violent final stage. I have twice witnessed, in a hospice, where they end peoples suffering, with injections that relax the heart muscle. |

I am sure it could be done in a humane fashion,they do it all the time at Dignitas, but some people would persist in loudly respecting the rights of the 'victims' instead of respecting the rights of the victims.

If everybody read the link that LFV supplied they wouldn't be so keen to give the power of life or death to the state.
I wonder exactly how many innocent people have been put away by false evidence supplied by the police, or would have been cleared if evidence had not been withheld by the police? Justice in this country has been shown many times to be an utter disgrace. |
|
By:
Rather than reintroducing the death penalty I'd like to see a tougher regime in prison for those who commit serious crimes.
They would have no rights to anything other than the basics ie Bed, food, toilet facilities, heating and exercise. Privilges, albeit restricted to visits and reading material, would have to be earned which would be a means of control over their behaviour. |

Dr Crippen has changed his tune.

By:
Why Shrewd_dude, what tune did I play before?
|
|
By:
As with many issues this ends up being a slanging match between left/right, but it shouldn't be. I would not reintroduce the death penalty. As some others have said, not because I am opposed to having murderers killed by the state, but because of the innocent that will also be wrongly executed. You cannot pick and choose which murderers will be executed. You only have to look at the many cases in the US where lifers are released after new evidence etc is found. No second chance if they've already been executed!
|
|
By:
Here's a thought.
Someone murders a person and there are other people present or nearby. The murderer thinks, "I'm going to be executed for this, I might as well kill all of them" |
|
By:
That you need to listen to what an officer says and abide by their every command Dr Crippen.
|

By:
Shrewd_dude, so what's that got to do with the death penalty, and me changing my tune?
|
|
By:
yes hank but the 'liberal let them all go free' group will have fun executing all the naughtY knuckle draggers for raising the issue
they can borrow my guillotine (you have no idea how taxing it is for me to remember how to spell it!!!! IT HO HO) |

Crowd Fund idea 1.
Disclaimer: Both ideas are meant as a deterrent and are not for the purposes of gratification or revenge.   Torture T.V. The basic idea is that once convicted. The worst off societies scumbags....child molesters, peodos, serial killers, premeditating murderers, lefties and Fifers, will be tortured mercilessly to within an inch of their lives on the old channel 4 big brother set while watching Bob from India shave his legs... They are then nursed back to health on the old casualty set while a celebrity sings Take That songs to them. I would suggest Tony Blair as he's not working. Once the Take That songs have done the trick, we whispers in their ear that when they're all better we're gonny start all over again, repeat, repeat and repeat. "Now that's a deterrent". On second thoughts that might be a better name than torture T.V which may upset the luvvies a wee bit. Crowd Fund idea 2. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Kaboom!!! This idea is a twist on the 80's gameshow 3-2-1. We buy a dozen heavily armed Apache helicopters (I'm pretty sure I could talk the Donald into doing us a deal). We alter the body of the Apache to look like a giant flying Dusty Bin. We then attach giant megaphones and LED screens to each side of the flying Dusty Bin (like the ones in Close encounters of the 3rd kind). Our Apaches shadow the Police and they locate a speeding vehicle that is trying to run from the said police. If in their attempts to escape from the Police the inhabitants of the speeding vehicle are showing little or no consideration for other innocent road users/pedestrians by not pulling over....then the game begins... The Apache moves into position behind the speeding vehicle and the countdown begins...the LEDs flash and the tannoys roar...10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Now at this point we end up with 1 of 2 win, win outcomes. Outcome 1. The wee rascals realize their situation is hopeless and pull into the side of the road and surrender peacefully. To continue the "Now there's a deterrent" theme, they then get a minimum of 10 years hard labour and are only released after exactly 10 years if they behave themselves. If they don't then we play the Kaboom wildcard. Outcome 2. The wee rascals continue their vehicular rampage and the "Kaboom" option is brought into play immediately by way of a sidewinder missile. I'm very confident that this idea would bring about a huge reduction in car crime, police chases and most importantly the loss of innocent life inflicted by these entitled wee roasters. Thoughts?? I'm also working on a few other games but their still in the early stages of development. "Huvny got a Cluedo" A murder mystery game. You have to figure out what Jezza used to murder the Blairites and how the hell he got elected leader. "Ker Plonker" This is simply a game about Theresa May. "Connect 2024" A grid like game based on the number of attempts to connect The Donald to the Russians. "Twistopoly" This is a cross between the games Twister and Monopoly....need I say more. |

By:
Could we reconsider the sidewinder missile or are you (being a soft liberal) trying to give them a chance. Probably better to have an air to ground missile.
If no chance given then perhaps a nuclear tipped option always happy to help |

I never said you had changed your tune on the death penalty. You certainly have on police officers though. |

I think we should have a new national lottery. Proceeds go to the new Royal Yacht. Instead of winning a cash prize though you get the chance to personally strangle the perp of your choice.

There have been cases where the Old bill have stitched up people. Birmingham four etc etc. To combat this if it is found out that it was a stitch up those officers should themselves be executed...............simples ! |

By:
Correct UFCDan. It's one of the reasons why I have also been opposed to it.
|
|
By:
Yep but I have to admit I find life to mean life crueler in some cases. Mainly in the US. 12 life sentences plus 200 years.........what's that all about ?
|
|
By:
I find degrees of murder quite difficult to distinguish. Are you saying death penalty for 1st degree murder but not for others?
|
|
By:
I think when we had capital punishment previously it was only considered in cases first degree murder.
|
|
By:
You certainly have on police officers though.
No conflict at all. I've always said that everyone should fully cooperate with the police and not give them any hassle. Still do. I wrote here that I wouldn't trust police evidence if a life depended on it. What's one got to do with the other? |
|
By:
If a police officer pulls you over, what the point in giving him lip and landing yourself in trouble?
Just cooperate and be on your way. Isn't that the sensible thing to do? |

unless you are ..... or ...... and you can play the victim card loudly

An EYE FOR AN EYE ,the cases I have stated there can be no Mistake, as Stated only Wrong Uns would believe those animals have any rights I rest my case ..The CIV LIB mob keep well out of harms way Mixing with their Luvvy Cronies ,god forbid they should encounter the Likes of an escaped Tobin , I think their out look on the DP might suddenly change ...

And never Mind Escapees how many of These nutters are released to Kill again ??

It would be of interest to know how many innocents have died from repeat offenders being released into the community who have to bear the risk of rehabilitation.
