This is legit like saying, all the kids that are forced to sell drugs and shit should be punished and face it too, no this is bullshit Trump don't know shit, I'm so glad I don't live in the US, I mean come on the rules are stupid, deal with the gun violence and all the other shit that needs to be done rather than making up stupid shit like this..
I mean no hard feelings to you all, but we all make a bad mistake once or two in our life, that doesn't mean we don't deserve to live .-.
Edit: that doesn't mean people who do this shit and don't learn their lesson shouldn't be punished, but not for all people who make this mistake should be " put to the death peltny " if anything, if they have a record for multiple things and are actually a murder or some sort, someone who does it over and over and over again a larger punished should be in place. It won't make our world any better, we're all evil in the end, the human race is **** up and it only gets worse, there's places who have actually figured it out and reduced gun violence etc, but no the US. Because they need " their guns " I live in the UK, I don't need a GUN I feel safe. but that don't mean stuff doesn't happen, but they work on it and they try their best. atleast without guns that's less deaths.
Edit: can't blame the human race or those who are troubled because of how our world is, so many things start these things, where you grow up, because of the rules bla bla, I mean regardless punished should be place, also doesn't mean there's nothing you can or cannot do to resolve or to atleast attempt to resolve these, some people cannot be helped, but trying matters. anyway idc about this don't affect me, not sure why I'm still typing sharing my opinion I guess.
PS, I'll leave this here, it's unrelated but atleast listen and understand some of my points.

Ban guns like the UK has, watch knife crime go up along with acid attacks, you can't win, it's a fighting battle and always will be, we as humans are evil.

It's a NEW DAY YESSS IT ISS!
Back on topic, it is legit. Came straight from Fox-News. Also, if you do the crime you must suffer the consequences.
The consequences have to be proportionate though. What crimes are worth the death penalty in your eyes?
If we kill everyone who violates the law, the world would be a better place. We kill people who bully our children & etc. Just the things that a slap on the wrist won't stop, so you have to do it the extreme way.
I can see where you are coming from. But what about all the people that were guilty by association? Or all the people that have had a prior but they were kids and they really have changed for the better?

Because, again, that isn't justice. It is just fulfilling the blood lust some people have. Prisons should work more to rehabilitate people. If someone is in for life, they should get to choose life or death. It shouldn't be up to anyone but them. The death penalty costs more than to house them. No civilized society should have something as barbaric and archaic as the death penalty anyway. The idea of wanting to be perpetually stuck in such a violent society is odd to me, one where a significant number of people actually suggest state-sanctioned murder.
Some people just need to be put to death. They can not change, nor do they want to change. They can still control things outside of prison. Some people also need to rot in prison. For example people like school shooters, rapists, etc, they all should rot in prison, but they should also be put to death. I do not believe that you can change their minds, they will be who they want to be. And you do not want to risk them escaping from prison, or harming anyone else. For example, El Chapo should have been put to death. He is/was allowed to have his life and spend it in prison, but he has escaped multiple times and caused harm to people.
And I do not believe that inmates should be able to chose whether or not they live. If I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life in prison, I would want the easy way out.
I did not know that putting someone to death cost more than a life imprisonment cost. I understand that there is a lot that goes into it, but surely there is some way to get the cost down. And there would have to be studies, but depending on how much crime and drug trafficking could be stopped, it would outweigh the cost of putting these people to death. For example, if you can stop a few big drug traffickers such as El Chapo, that is. Many of these big drug traffickers and dealers are also responsible for a lot of damage. El Chapo was responsible for the killing of 10,000 of thousands of people. I'm sure that your local drug dealers are responsible for at least a few deaths a piece. They are also making tons of money that could be spent elsewhere.
It would be great if we did not have to put people to death, but that is not the world we live in. I wish that we do not have to put people to death, but it is something that has to happen.
I used to be all of the death penalty when I first joined this site. I also had the reasoning of some people being too monstrous to let live. Changed my opinion though when I found out the cost and the innocent people killed by the death penalty though. Also, the terribly bad people typically never get out of prison, so they are basically dead anyway without having to resort to such violence to achieve it. The only other issue would be corrupt guards or terrible prison setup where they could get information to people on the outside, which is whole other issue in itself.
As stated earlier, i'm sure the cost could be lowered. There is always the risk that innocent people could be killed. That is why I said that there should be more than substantial evidence to prove that the person committed the crime and can not change. I'm sure that innocent people will still die, but it should be as minimized as possible. As stated earlier El Chapo escaped multiple times. And even if they are stuck in prison, they can still run things from the inside. Look at how many prison gangs we have that still working with the outside.
This topic is obviously nothing to be taken lightly. As I stated in another comment, there is much more that goes into it. People would need to sit down and think through everything.
I think the times he escaped were in Mexico, which they need to fix that. We need to change how inmates have access to other inmates. We need to fix some of the issues we have of escaping prisoners as well, but none of this requires killing.
Well, I'm all for assisted suicide for anyone of legal age, prisoner or not. The idea of forcing someone to exist when they don't want to is immoral in my opinion. I feel that prison is meant to take away basic freedoms of someone, somewhat as a punishment, but more so to protect everyone else outside of prison. I just can't get on board with the idea of sending people there just so they can feel miserable for the rest of their life. While there are some people that I'm not going to lose any sleep over if they feel bad, I'm not going to celebrate or encourage the idea of it.
Are we talking about actual murder? Then put the guy in prison where he belongs. If it ends up in a shootout, then that is where it ends. If we are talking about overdoses, I'm not ready to blanket blame the drug dealer for all of it just as I'm not blaming companies when someone dies of alcohol poisoning. People make the choice to put what they want in their body, as they should. It is their body. If they become a problem to other citizens (harassing, violent), arrest them accordingly.
I mean, if we put people in prison that is secure, we don't need to put them to death. The death penalty is just a choice. We can do without it. A number of states and countries have chose to abolish their death penalties. We can live in that world. We don't have to kill prisoners.
If innocent people are going to continue to die, I'm not even going to entertain the idea. Other than criminals having some ways to contact the outside world, which is its own problem, none of this is worth risking innocent people.
Actual murder. For example, rivals, innocent bystanders who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, etc. I do not care about overdoses either.
I would be happy with putting people in prison if we can make sure that they can not control the outside and can not escape.

Drugs and guns go together like two peas in a pod. For example, [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , drug deals that don't end well may result in shootings, rival gangs may shoot at each other.
Drug trafficking generates violent crime
Trafficking in illicit drugs tends to be associated with the
commission of violent crimes.
Reasons for the relationshipof drug trafficking to violence include:
- competition for drug markets and customers
- disputes and ripoffs among individuals involved in the illegal drug market
- individuals who participate in drug trafficking are prone to use violence
- locations where street drug markets proliferate tend to be disadvantaged economically and socially; legal
and social controls against violence in such areas tend to be ineffective.

And the list goes on and on. The US is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but do not think that the UK is better. Every country has their downfalls.

Your friend was not forced to do anything. She could have simply went to the police or got help from someone else.
Obviously most people do not think Trump is an idiot, if that was the case then he would not have been elected.
I edited my last post after you made this comment so I will add it to this...
I live in the UK, I don't need a GUN I feel safe. but that don't mean stuff doesn't happen, but they work on it and they try their best. atleast without guns that's less deaths.
According to this...
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- More people in the UK feel safer walking alone at night than do in the US
- The UK has 3x more crime per 1000 than the US
- The UK has 2x more rape victims than the US
- UK has 58% more opiate use than the US
- In the UK, 2% more people fear being attacked as opposed to the US
And the list goes on and on. The US is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but do not think that the UK is any better. Every country has their downfalls.
As for the video...
Obviously if you were to get rid of guns, there would be less gun related crime. But strict gun laws do not mean that we will have less crime. There are places like Chicago and Mexico that have strict gun laws and high crime. And there are places like Britain that has low gun ownership and low crime. There are countries like Norway, Finland, Germany, France and Denmark, that have heavy gun ownership and low murder rates. Places like Switzerland have high gun ownership and low crime. And then places like Japan have low gun ownership and low crime. As far as I know, there is no study that shows a clear correlation between more guns and more crime.
We have guns because we need guns. Guns are how we protect ourselves. What do you want us to do specifically? Do you want us to get rid of guns and rely on the police? In the recent shooting, there were at least a few cops who stood outside and did not stop the shooter. It would be nice if we did not need guns, but that is not a world that we live in.
I believe that there is more that could be done to protect schools. My school is a great example. We have a few police officers that work on campus (I hope they would actually help students in a time of need). Just yesterday, we got a indirect threat, so we got a new rule, all outside doors are locked during school aside from the main entrance.
I truly believe that guns are not the problem. Sane people do not go and shoot up a school, it should not even cross a sane person's mind.
I also believe that is someone is committed to doing a school shooting, there is nothing you can do to stop them. You can have all sorts of rules and all someone has to do is get lucky or do a little bit of studying and preparing. For example the Florida shooter prepared himself and came up with a plan.
The real problem is people. I read a Reddit post and it said something like... "Maybe if people did not bully their peers to the point of mental breakdown, then we would not have these issues. According to the CDC 4400+ children commit suicide each year because of bullying." Children especially in high school are terrible.
As a community, everybody should be more accepting and nice. Guns are just another tool.
If you do not have enough common sense to understand why the US has guns, then I guess we have no reason to keep arguing.

I think that we need more explanation of what he really thinks. If he means that every person who deals drugs ranging any where from weed to flaka needs to be put to death, then I would agree that this is a bad idea. But for people who do deal crazy drugs like flaka, I do believe that they should be put to death. Even if Trump does want all drug dealers dead, I would be okay with that. If you commit crime, you can do the time your not worthy of tax payers dollars and should be put to death.

If you commit crime you should be put to death?
Well the thing is, our own government commits crime everyday and violates laws itself, ill just throw that out there but im sure you didnt mean to say that.
Whats wrong with this is we are putting people to death for selling drugs, when the person who is buying the drugs has a choice to buy the drugs, its not like hes forcing people to buy the drugs and shit. Secondly we should start buy punishing big pharma because they are apart of the opiate crisis.

I do not know how I feel about this anymore. I do not think that everyone who sells drugs should be put to death, but if that is what it takes to end the drug war, then I would be okay with it. But the big players in the game should definitely not just be put in prison. Some people are just not afraid of prison, in fact some people prefer to live in prison. If people knew that they could be put to death for certain crimes, then they might not do those crimes.
We have to stop the war on drugs or at least minimize it. Our current laws are not working. We need to make drastic changes. This could be done multiple ways.
I am pro-choice and I think that people should be able to do what they want as long as it does not affect anyone else. I think that is someone wants to do drugs, then they should be able to do them. I am more in favor of legalizing drugs and letting people do what ever they want. If they overdose then oh well, if they lose everything and ruin their life then that is fine with me, etc. But the major problem I see with this is too many people becoming addicted and messing up the economy.
Maybe putting people to death is a bit too far, but what I am trying to get at is that something should change.
