By making them live another day, you take food, money and resources from people who have done nothing wrong in their lives at all. Criminals of that sort do not need to be kept alive, really.[/QUOTE]It's called the process of law. When so called civilised countries start to act as though they are above the law, then we have REAL problems. If the West, that collectively claims to be head and shoulders above the rest of the world when it comes to justice, ceases to believe in the process of law, then what right do Westerners have to demand that others act according to law?
If you start sidestepping the process of law, then it becomes meaningless. I thought justice was a key element of the American constitution? In my country, you have to be proven guilty before you can be punished. I do not want to see that change. Once you start making exceptions to the rules, sooner or later, the rules become meaningless.
Everyone, no matter what their crimes, has the right to a fair trial. In my opinion.[/QUOTE]I was speaking of workig within the law as writen. We as a society are free to write the law to suit the needs of the society. In the USA we do this based on the Constitution and the Bill of rights. There is nothing in either of those documents that disallows us to write a death penalty or public caning into our criminal punishments.
