I Am Against the Death Penalty Stories of Experiences

If murderer is one who kills...
How would you call one who kills the murderer?

I have told almost none of my friends and acquaintances about this (though I plan to, eventually). I have a feeling that if they were told, their jaws would clatter to the floor. I would be quite uncomfortable speaking about it and...

I could write a longer and more thought-out version of this, but I will save it for when I need to for a class.

Aside from the whole hypocrisy of (mis)interpreting the Bible to suit your worldview (as is so common as to be ubiquitous...

I think the whole thing about state sponsored killing is just gross.
But worse than that is the number of innocent people who would be wrongfully hanged. A few years ago there was a spate of high profile releases of people who were...

I think the death penalty is a try of fighting against the God. Most of us, is involved in some religious groups. I definitely think most of us are believers. I do not insert in how we believe and how do we understand meaning of a...

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people who wants to see the death penalty brought back to Countries that abolished it years ago simply because they believe that some offenses deserve death and by so doing would deter others...

First off, I'm only talking about the USA here because I know next to nothing about the death penalty overseas.
In my mind, if you support the death penalty you are not better than the person who committed the crime. And what about all...

People are burdened by being in a world they didn't ask to partake of.
How do you think people feel when they look in the mirror and they don't like how they look? Maybe they don't like their bone structure, certain facial features, etc...

Voices for Death Row inmates tries to highlight as many cases and issues as possible, we will do this through facebook, forums, twitter and blogs.

If you have a case to highlight, petition, or another death penalty related issue to...

In a perfect world of right and wrong, the death penalty would probably be appropriate for henious crimes. But it isn't and we have some prosecutors willing to break the law and withhold evidence and even lie if they think they can get...

From the moment the state decides to apply the "an eye for an eye" policy and execute people, the state becomes a murderer too, and for me has no moral authority to create laws and organize our society.

I don't think the issue of the death penalty should be religious, morale, or ethical, rather the facts and the purpose it serves. I think that if a person is so evil, disturbed, and dangerous to society, it is common sense he should not...

I am not morally opposed to the concept of executing a justly convicted murderer. There are worse things in life than dying, and killing someone is justified, in my opinion, if the community has properly determined that capital...

Supreme Court ruling could affect Peterson's appeal

SAN FRANCISCO -- The California Supreme Court on Monday tossed out the death sentence of a man convicted of murdering rock guitarist Dave Navarro...

EP apparently has a feature called "Asker" that submits questions by members for community feedback. One question asks if members support or oppose capital punishment - the death penalty. I condensed my answer as compactly as I could...

It is hypocritical of us. They are in jail because they killed someone , therefore they are looked down on and rejected by society. But then we decide it is okay for police or guards to be exactly like them and kill ...

Now, when I say that I'm against the death penalty, I'm not saying it because I'm a do-gooder, but because I think killing some of these bastards is too good for them. Making them spend the rest of their life in prison is the best...

We have seen a troubling number of cases across the US in the last few years in which a person sentenced to death was, in fact, innocent of the crime for which they were sentenced. There is good reason to believe that at least several...

If you have read my previous stories, you know morality is a big part of my life. We all use it every day, with little and huge decisions. Sometimes, we make mistakes and do horrid acts, but does that make it right? Of course not. And...

For the people who love someone and have them tortured, raped, and murdered must be the most painful experience alive. Having to see that "pile of scum" look at you in the eyes at the process is even harder.But, then what?I've heard...
