Fullerene Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 As far as the USA is concerned, when it comes to state executions, none of the people are medically qualified - since that goes against their hippocratic oath. Furthermore, where lethal injection is the preferred option, the authorities practically have to get their supply on the black market because none of the drug companies want to be associated with it all. Of those states that still have the death penalty as an option, several have not actually carried out an execution in years. So, in short, if you were in the USA and wanted to commit murder but might be put off by the death penalty - well - you would have to do a lot of research first. Also, in the USA, it is less likely to happen if you are white. I have no idea why. On a brighter note, I read somewhere that Leichenstein was the first country in the world to abolish capital punishment and it is actually the reason why Liechenstein is a separate country. Must be a dangerous place - I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If we get a referendum on the death penalty we should also get to vote on which method of execution is used. I'd vote for the guillotine, just to add a touch of Gallic charm to the proceedings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You really need to change your user name. On the other hand, your post is a good example of what some people actually believe. And it's an ignorance that I'm sure that sooner or later will be exploited by the right-wing press and Tory extremists when they inevitably try to bring the death penalty back.A Tory MEP is actually leading a campaign for new treason laws to include ‘undoing brexit’ and any person who campaigns to split the UK (ie SNP and that welsh mob). Its indicative of the UK’s move to the hard right, people foaming at the mouth about how bringing back the death penalty will reduce crime etc when there is no evidence to support this. Its already been said that the cost of death penalty in the states is huge, it costs more to execute someone in their 40’s than it would to keep them in prison for the rest of their life.

aDONisSheep Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I think it's a great idea. The authorities always needs another string to their bow, when dealing with brown people/minority groups and those with mental health problems. If a few "technically innocent" people are killed in error, then fvk-em, they probably deserved it for something else they may or may not have done (or might do in the future). The chances of them being members of my tennis club are miniscule, so who cares! It's only common sense, that all policy decisions are made out of fear and anger.

More to do with fallen empires and folk trying to consolidate power and ensure the family had something to fall back on. Interesting history actually. Read a little on it when I moved here as I always wondered why it had not just joined Switzerland as another of the federal kantons. They speak Swiss German and use the Swiss Franc.
