In the past few weeks, there have been so many murders and vicious attacks.

It got me wondering, should we bring back the death sentance? Its the ultimate detterant against people committing such murders. People just don't seem to understand the value of the human life anymore.

The guy who killed that 17 year old kid said that he already had one murder charge and that he didn't care if he got another. Maybe he would if the death sentance existed.

I think most of this shit could be avoided if it was brought back.

I vote yes (put up a poll)

Ok, can you move this to the Polls section so I can? Cheers

While I'm in favour of the death sentence, there would be so many appeals for anyone sentenced to death, they'd probably die of natural causes first Damn hippies

id vote yes but knowing NZ itd get $&#$% up and not done properly

I don't believe in the death sentence, but the justice system seriously needs to harden up and give crims what they deserve.
The kid who dropped the rock onto Chris Curries head has been sentenced, he is getting FOUR YEARS. For manslaughter. He will be out by the time he is 17, still with time to get on life, wasting our precious oxygen.

Murder and manslaughter are different though.

Things like the guy being hit by the car and dragged for 2km is considered murder. It was pre-meditated with intent to kill.

Stupid as it seems, the kid who dropped the rock wasn't really intending to kill, just to cause damage to a car or cause some chaos.

it would never be worth it if even if one innocent person got executed and it does happen.. I say we are better off without it

What about for people who are guilty without reasonable doubt, such as that Black Power member who killed that 17 year old? Or the guy in Christchurch who killed that 24 year old mother?

yes but only within reason which im to tired to explain

Agreed with brick. Like, if i murdered Hanre for example, id be exempt, cos hes bogan. But if hanre murdered me, hed die, cos i hve a 3s, and 3s = god

What if you're innocent like Burrows, there sure as hell ain't a Scofield to bail me out.

Actually he's up for parole this December.
Another point in case where our penalty system has failed us. And Helen just reduced all minimum parole periods as our prisons are too full!

life should = death

i mean they are just there sucking up our $$$

not in this country, the politicians here are so shit they couldn't organise a $&#$% in a brothel

Kill em.

Lobotomise the $&#$% and put em to work

yeah! on our roads! and building things like the hydro dams the hippies keep stopping! and a bridge between the north island and the MAINland

no. the whole idea of even putting a person in a cell is $&#$% up. theres gota be a better way to deal with shit, but humans are lazy... so maybe.

Shacle them...work them...till they die...
That way they are providing $$$ in their work...and it offsets the cost of keeping them alive.
It also means if they are found not quilty they can go free, rather than mistakes been made.
