Do You Support The Death Penalty?

[Monika]

demographically parts of MN closely resemble Sweden or Norway, due to heavy Scandinavian immigration and settlement in the last century and before.

yes, there is a connection between the death penalty and the ability to commit crimes.

an executed murderer has killed his or her last victim.

they can´t do it if they are in prison either. And I have feeling where this discussion is going so I´ll butt out. I don´t want a repeat of what´s going on in other threads.

and I doubt that the demography in Minnesota is similar to the one inSweden any longer

I know, its the "laws and sausages" syndrome - I am very sympathetic and understanding of your revulsion from politics.

I can't stop myself from dabbling, I am just into self-punishment. 

Well good luck !

We haven´t hung people here for a long time, so it´s not exactely something new

just responding to an earlier post, which read -

No, no, no

We haven´t executed anyone here in Sweden in over a hundred years, for which I´m very glad.

And to those who say that the death penelty is a mean to scare people off from killing each other; We don´t have a high crime rate here in Sweden even though we don´t have the death penalty. Crimes are prevented through education, by a good social well-fare system and by trying to create a society where everyone can lead a decent life.

Why is Sweden letting murderers go free to walk on the streets and murder again and again ??

I guess you could say all countries have that issue.

true, but if they have murdered, why keep them alive? by keeping them alive, isn't society making the statement that the perps life is more valuable than the victims life?

you shouldn't leave this thread, you and I will keep our exchanges civil - I promise!

Yes, karen, and so why do we let murderers go back on the streets ? Can anyone say why ?

agreed! this is a problem everywhere!

[Artiste]

But why? Why, don't good-gooders, think ahead of time, since they must eventually find out that murderers get back on the streets, for what do one think - kiss a butt or have their's kissed and then they cut your face up with knives ?

Some do get parole, some don't.  Some get life without parole, some get the death penalty.
Guess you could say it is a case by case deal.
