What Do YOU Think Should Be The Consequence For Murder?

I think every murderer or massacrer should face death. If they kill a man out of the blue, they should face the consequences of (AT LEAST) life in prison. I believe this punishment should be for juvenile and adults alike. What do you think?

Defending someones life- that is no diffrence except for poilce. But, killing just to kill- its terrible. And the sad thing is that I was brushing up on my leagal studies and I found of this one story about 2 11-year-olds. They kiled 12 kids, 3 teachers, and still only were sentenced to 8 years in juvenile detention. I thought this was upsturd!

So- I my beliefs are that anyone that kills a person for ransom deserves no life.

And shouldn't we live on our own? No one should kill some one to defend someone else. It might be heroic or of great respect- but a man should stand for himself. If this means for everyone to carry a gun, so be it.

I'm going to be different and say not the death penalty, just life in prison.

although western societies believe in NO DEATH penelties, but in my view, if someone has taken a life, he/she has no right to have life. Death as a punishment of murdering.
yes, judicial process should be fair enough, because in some countries, still judiciary/police is not fair enough, so in those countries the legislation should have liner policies.

Firm believer in life and prison and the death penalty. I just think it depends on the age of the individual, the severity of the crime, past criminal record, and the individual's state of mind at the time. There was a guy in Houston who was just found guilty of capital murder of a police officer. The jury is deciding his fate but I am all for the death penalty in his case. The prick had the nerve to claim insanity....and to make matters worse, he has a history of child molestation....society doesn't need idiots like this....i say do away with them.

i dont agree. there are a lot of things that can lead to someone getting killed. not to say its right... cuz i dont think its right for someone to kill someone else. its not our place to decide who should live or die. just the same as we dont think its ok for someone to take someone else's life, if we would decide to give that same treatment to people who mightve messed up or made a mistake or did something because a feeling of hurt or anger inside them pushed them to do it, would we be teaching those people that its wrong if we would just have them killed or give them life in prison? Two wrongs dont make a right.

To simplified.

What about the circumstances... Where is the line between defence or yourself and murder.

You can kill someone with your bare hands does that mean that if you feel threatened by someone you can kill them and it is not murder..? Where that line is is a grey area peoples opinions vary.

Soldiers have been ordered to kill innocent children is that murder or are they just doing their jobs.?

People are convicted of murder and then evidence later shows it wasn't true..? Is it ok that they were executed..?

If someone killed a member of my family in front of me and in a fit af despair and rage I killed them.. Would I really deserve to die..? How responsible would I be for my actions if I am overcoem by grief and emotion...? How responisble is society for allowing murderers to exist in the first place.

What gives us the right to judge and sentence others by our own standards..?

It's a subject that requires a level head and a life time of consideration... I don't think there is a definitive answer.

if the mind is capable of rational thought they should be in eternal servitude (to work & forfeit all wealth to the victims). refusal of this, will be taken into custody of the state to be used in slave labor & the value of all wealth produced is to be split between the state & victim. if the mind is rabid (too far gone) it must be destroyed. the bodies (under state possession) could be used for; science, war, space, spare parts & ultimate movie stunts.

I would say death penalty saves a lot of time and money. Trouble is there's no way to undo the penalty if wrongly convicted. I appreciate this is prertty rare, but it happens.

\what about the man who plans to kill the man who raped and killed his daughter. He carries out his pre-meditaded murder and gets exectuted. Is this fair? Where do you draw the line between different degrees of murder?

All being said and done I would have to go for life in prison. Shame it costs the tax payers so much

Simple answers to simplistic questions make me laugh. Who decides who is guilty? Every year there are reports of new technology proving a "guilty person" innocent. Who is responsible for the innocently accused, put to death, .........Who takes care of their families? Go get a foolproof justice system first, then talk about death penalties afterwards.

People wouldn't like it if I ran a country, because thieves would have fingers cut off, child molesters/abusers would be put to death immediately, and murderers would be killed on the spot.

This is all after knowing for sure, with DNA testing if available as well, the person was guilty. I have no time in the world for these people that profess insanity when you know very well they aren't.

I don't think they should be put to death.

Why do we kill people, who kill people... to show people that killing is wrong?
Plus, there are too many cases where they find evidence years and years later that the person was actually innocent.

I think they should have to face life in prison, without parole.

Hang 'em from the highest tree! It is sad that statistics show that it costs over $50,000 a year to house an inmate, who gets 3 meals a day, snacks, medical and dental, school, etc..., yet a family of four lives off of $25,000 a year. Where is the justice in that?? Hang them!

Take them out into the largest desert we have and shoot them in the kneecaps.

Railroad Dave: You're comparing a fetus which has never laid eyes on the world to a murderer who had a chance at life and pissed it away.

If it was premeditated...then death

If it wasn't premeditated, then at least life in prison


It all depends on the circumstances. Sometimes ppl accidentally kill ppl when they only meant to hurt them.

I think they should get life in prison. I'm not a supporter of the death penalty. If you execute even one innocent person it makes it wrong in my opinion.

throw them in prison, life sentence no parole. if it's for no reason at all, this person obviously doesn't deserve to be around humans at all......life sentence, solitary confinement

death should be the penalty for murder.

an eye for an eye

The death penalty.

If we're punishing them for murdering, who are we to say they must die too? Is Hammurabi's code still in effect or something?

I think they should put all of them on an island and then people can pay to go there and hunt them.

LIfe in prison, unless of course the murder was commited defending one's life

do onto others as you would have done to you, seem fair, I think so

eye for an eye...

capitol punishment is like retro active abortion . i think life in prison , no parole .

With some exceptions where it is justified, I agree.

death coz if they killed sum1 i think they should get the same thing done to them!!

I think we should donate their organs to those who need them.

This would suck for the wrongly convicted, however.

Prison for 50 years.

agree

Swift justice not 20 years in an appeals court...

Agree. Eye for an eye...
