Pros And Cons Of Abolishing The Death Penalty

A gas chamber was a small chamber with poison pellets thrown in and that killed

Painful, lengthy executions constitute violations of the 8th Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment”(NCADP). Capital punishment can give 2nd hand trauma to the victims & the families. Studies show that the Death Penalty can cause additional harm to the families. The death penalty can even cause the family to be traumatized by two deaths if the offender and the victim are related or friends. People can actually be traumatized because of a man named Carol Pickett, a minister who witnessed almost 100 executions in Texas, attributed his severe health problems to the stress involved with executions.

However, the question also has a very different answer, which is shown in the last part of the speech “To me, this is the saddest and most painful question that people ask, because we victims know something you usually don 't: It 's incredibly dangerous to leave an abuser. Because the final step in the domestic violence pattern is kill her” (lines 103-105). Steiner tells us that 70 percent of the domestic violence murders happen after the victim has gotten

Time running out isn’t the only symbol in the story. The last symbol that exemplifies death is the Red Death. Poe stated in the story,“THE RED DEATH HAD LONG BEEN FEEDING ON THE COUNTRY. No sickness had ever been so deadly - so great a killer - or so fearful to see.”.

The crack of the gun shook many souls who had read the book Of Mice And Men. In the book Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck, George kills Lennie towards the end of the book and there are questions on whether it was wright or not for George to kill Lennie. George was right to kill Lennie because George would end it for him quickly, George would do it compassionately instead of Curley doing it in a bad way, and it would relieve Lennie of the pain and agony he has been through due to his illness. In almost every corner in the world, murder is illegal.

The statement “The Holocaust was the most evil crime ever committed” is true. From the years of 1940 - 1945 “the Germans and their collaborators had murdered six million European jews” (www.ushmm.org). Under the dictionary definition for evil it reads “profoundly immoral and malevolent” both words which describe the holocaust. The extremes the people who committed the atrocities during WWII as to complete Hitler’s Final solution went completely away from the principals of being right. The acts they did on those people were vile and violated each and every innocent person 's human right, making it extremely evil.

In this case the opponents are the persons who would like to pack up the death penalty and dump it on the side of the road along with the rest of the misfits. They believe it is the most inhumane way to do things and we would be no better than a killer ourselves. “My objection to the death penalty is based on the idea that this is a democracy, and in a democracy the government is me, and if the government kills somebody then I'm killing somebody,” as stated by Steve Earle [Goodman]. Though in some sense this may be true, we are killing them in a much more humane way than they must have killed their terrified victims. As I earlier stated they are given opportunities their prey did not sustain.

¨We reserve the death penalty in the United States for the most heinous murders and the most brutal and conscienceless murderers. ” I can see why the Supreme Court doesn 't want these people in prison, because they might kill somebody in prison, or if they get bailed out they wouldn 't learn their lesson and do what they were doing AGAIN. ¨We have the responsibility to punish those who deserve it, but only to the degree they deserve it.¨ I can also see why they think people deserve it for their horrible actions, they believe that since they did some outrageous murder, or a really bad crime they deserve to die. ¨"Whatever your feelings are toward the death penalty, one thing most people will never know is the pain experienced when a family member, or in my case, family members are brutally tortured and murdered.¨

Sometimess a person in peer pressure or because of bitting even if he has not commmited any crime, accept it and given a death sentence. There are two countries that are still following the capital punishment i.e almost 58 nations alike. And others have abolished i.e 98 countries have abolished fully for every crime wherass 7 have abolished for ordinary crimes and TODAY,

Guns are dangerous, but so is every weapon. Even if we outlawed every weapon in the United States, there would still be Murder. There was 89 murders in California, 82 murders in Texas, and 32 murders in New York, caused by a person using only their bare hands (FBI: UCR, 2016). We are willing to discuss banning guns for “killing people”.

The Holocaust is one of the most devastating events in human history as the Nazi’s killed millions. Nazi ’s believed they were genetically and racially superior to everyone. In order to only have one perfect type of person in Germany, using a method called ‘ethnic cleansing’ the Nazi’s tried to eliminate the unwanted such as the handicapped and homosexuals, however none suffered as much as the Jewish people.

Drizin, “this is the worst case of tunnel vision I’ve ever seen in a police murder investigation”. (Drizin pg2) I would agree, the fabrication of evidence, the misuse of the reid technique and wrongfully imprisoning Matthew Liver for 8 months is unrighteous. Obviously, the ethical demeanor and discretion implicates that police officer want to close a case. It is not a coincidence that the police officer involved in this case fabricated the evidence for his own reward. Subsequently, imprisoning an innocent man who desperately wanted to go home but was coerced to confess to a crime he did not commit.

The Klu-Klux-Klan was a white supremacist group that opposed “Reconstruction” and equal rights for freed slaves (Hook Exercise). They, to my standards, really would do whatever it takes to stop Reconstruction, even if it meant killing innocent people for that. John W. Stephens, a former senator from Caswell, was brutally murdered by none other than the Klu-Klux-Klan in a Grand Jury room (Doc. A Par.1). John W. Stephens was stabbed five to six times then even hanged on a hook in the same jury room.

(NBC para.1) Al Queda was the most dangerous and feared terrorist group and caused millions of people a lifetime of fear and grief. Osama bin Laden was a horrible man who took the lives of thousands and his assassination gave the world a sigh of relief. Although

Years later McVeigh was on trial “in courtroom C-204 in the United States Courthouse in Denver” (Morganthou). He was facing capital punishment. Timothy McVeigh receiving the death penalty was the correct punishment for the crime he committed. Timothy McVeigh was not always a cold blooded killer. McVeigh’s mom “left him when he was 10, moving away to Texas and then Florida” (Evan).
