All you pro-death penalty people who say it's not about revenge or any other negative [View all]
reason have you ever seen the large groups of people who congregate outside of a jail when someone is to be executed who are cheering and having a grand old time that this person is going to die or has just died?
Are they there because they think that the murder rates is now going to go down and thus they cheer?
Are they there because this execution will make our country safer and thus they cheer?
Or are they just into revenge and like the idea of killing and use this barbaric practice to indulge themselves in something they would never do themselves?
If the death penalty does not make the homicide rate go down and indeed the evidence suggests that it causes the homicide rate to go up because it creates a society that condones murder. And if the death penalty causes the states to spend more money than they would if they person were just locked up for life. If it tortures the families of the criminals and if we are the last country in the civilized world to uphold it.
Why are these people cheering?
