    What is the problem with death penalty? Definitely needed for crimes of sexual violence or murder nature for example.

      the problem isn’t that people want those scumfucks to live a life in prison, it’s that we don’t have equal law enforcement in this country, so any capital punishment - esp death - would not be applied equally, which is pretty much what we see today.

      Don’t mistake, I’d prefer rapists and molesters get deleted, but until we can be 100% sure every time that the person being punished is the criminal, it ain’t worth it.

      Innocent people are killed by the state, is the problem.
      Most people aren’t willing to sacrifice innocent lives in order to be able to sacrifice guilty ones.
