Some people say that the death penalty should be ban because they feel that its barbaric and also it financial costs to taxpayers of capital punishment is several times that of keeping someone in prison for life. Others feel that it send a wrong message to kill those who kill other because the message that we send to other countries is wrong. Life in prison is a worse punishment, a more effective deterrent. The victim families seeing their family member going to thru the most painful and difficult thing that they experience is in a a way sad. George Bush once said " i don't think you should support the death penalty to seek revenge. i don't think that's right. I think the reason to support the death penalty is because it saves other people's lives"
Those who oppose that the death penalty shouldn't be ban are the ones that feels justice is better served. If the punishment fit the crime then the killer should be dead. Death penalty gives more closure to the victims families because they fell that justice served. The victims family feels that life in prison means that the prisoner is still around and feel as if they would be haunted by it. The biggest reason to keep the death penalty is to basically prevent the crime from happening again. Now and days parole is joke and it can give criminals another chance to kill. There been criminals who got out on parole and then months later go back in because of another crime they commit. So maybe the death penalty is worth it.
My view on the death penalty is that i think we should have it. But there should also be strong evidence in order to take someone life away. I believe that if have killed, raped children, etc. then you should pay the price and have your life taken away. I understand from the financial part because they use our tax dollars to kill someone just the same as keeping someone in jailed, but i just feel that it worth it. I know that if I had lost a member of my family from a mass murder I would want to see him dead. Seeing that person being put in jail for life wouldnt satisfy me, because I know my families would be haunted by the fact he is still alive. I will not make peace with the prisoner family nor will i forgive or forget. But I would be glad justice is served.

Evan,
ReplyDeleteYour posts are getting better.
You have the format down. That's the hard part for most people.
Now, you need to work on substance.
1. Your facts #2 and #3 are actually opinions. Do research online to find statistics. Your Bush quote is great. Find some more to shore up your opinion.
2. Your opponents paragraph doesn't effectively describe their views. In the second sentence, you give your opinion about how the crime should fit the punishment. Save this paragraph for those who would argue with you. Again, use facts and quotes to give them credit.
I see an improvement and some more effort. Keep it up. Implement my suggestions and you'll be scoring much higher.
