    I never will support the death penalty

    A lot of innocent people found wrongfully guilty have been killed by it and people are people, what are you going to get from retribution by murdering another person

      Better a million guilty people serve a life sentence than one innocent person be mistakenly executed. The state shouldn’t be in the business of handing out punishments that can’t be overturned later.

        Better to ruin the lives of a million people than to take the life of one?

        You’re going to have to provide some serious philosophy to back that up.

          Killing innocent people is bad.

          Keeping guilty people in prison isn’t that bad.

          Boom. Philosophized.

            Somehow I missed that you qualified those two groups as innocent and guilty.
