No family, then it depends on the nature of the crime. Sparing a
killer for a price? This reminds me of why the US doesn't have race
riots anymore, like the LA Rodney King riots. Most often, there are
"settlements" as when police do unlawful killings, because the
family opts for the settlement. I am feeling that those nation
states that do not have death penalties, are opting, as a cultural
norm, Out of a sense of sqeamishness, which is understandable,
rather than real justice or mercy. "well, if we just don't have the
death penalty, we won't have to think about the victim."
Death penalty does not make sense. I can understand personal
individual revenge, and could acquit a parent killing the one who
has been violent with his/her children, but I can't swallow the idea
that a state coldly kill someone. This is close to nonsense and
barbary. It does not deter people to kill, on the contrary it makes
killing more banal or normal. It can even motivate a type of serial
killing where the serial killer phantasms on his own death. Then it
kills innocent people in a regular way. Countries with death penalty
have usually more homicides than the others. Well, that's my opinion.
Well it's a matter of statistics - either they do or they don't.
Well, "opinion" refers to what I think about death penalty. 'course.
For the statistics could tell tell what the colors means?
Here's the murder rate...
Here's the countries with the death penalty...
Hmm looks kind of inverse...ish.
Confirming what I said, or the contrary (which would contradict what I
read about)?
