Btw i hope this is the right link.

[woofgang]

no. next question.

[Apc2604]

No

[Theland]

By meat grinder maybe?

[Mamyalynne]

No.

[Nical]

No.

[Cloverjo]

No

[dannyk13]

It should, but it won't.

[HansUrbancka]

YES.

Hans.

[emmie]

Sometimes i wish it would. But my head says no.

[MallyJ]

No...state endorsed murder. People have been shown to be innocent of the crimes they have been found guilty of...double state endorsed murder. Can't believe people would even think it is ok.

[Peter Pedant]

well the president of the united states certainly thinks so !
hur hur hur

[TheDevil]

For situations like this, yes.

Why waste money on someone who doesn't even anyone any basic rights. Buy a rope and find a strong tree and you'll save yourself lots of money in prison fees.

[SlackAlice]

No
I would however support a whole life sentence with a minimum term of eighty years. The only time you leave is in a casket or ashes urn.

[ChillDoubt]

100% yes.
The likes of Huntley, Whiting and other similar vermin ought not be afforded 3 meals a day and sanctuary at the taxpayers expense.
NHS patients are often denied treatment as a result of cost, we could save millions with the re-introduction of the death penalty but sadly won’t see its return.

[TonyV]

I wouldn't have the death sentence come back. With todays forensic evidence and DNA tests if someone is 100% guilty, why waste the money however many K£1000's of pounds per year keeping them in prison?

[TheDevil]

Homeless people die on the streets so this kind of scum can sit and rot in a warm, well fed environment. Life sentences also get privileges that I wouldn't even be able to provide for myself.

[TonyV]

^^^ double negative, meant to say I would have no problem with death sentence being reinstated.

[dannyk13]

//An "evil serial sexual predator" convicted of 159 sex offences, including 136 rapes, will "never be safe to be released//
The judge says this and then sets a minimum of thirty years, just a bit incongruous IMO.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes for proven terrorists, child murderers and rapists
They’re no good at all to society and I ,as a British tax payer,don’t want to help keep them in warmth with 3 square meals a day, their victims had no choice and neither should they

TheDevil// Homeless people die on the streets so this kind of scum can sit and rot in a warm, well fed environment.//

Erm...not really, TD. Homelessness is a totally different problem. What do you want to do? Kill all the scum now in prison and give their cells to homeless people?
