i support the pirate party
@9JGMPJF1yr1Y
No, because nothing gives the right for a human being to decide whether another human being lives or dies
@9JR2TMZ1yr1Y
no, for the sake of life. Also the truth are sometimes found after the death and there is no going back
@9J46KB21yr1Y
Only in very rare cases, when there is undeniable proof from a years-long investigation. Too many innocent people suffered from the death penalty.
@B4PBNFQ1wk1W
No, as there are many people who are wrongly convicted of crimes, but they should receive life in prison with no parole.
@B4JJCRG2wks2W
Yes but only for continuous re-offenders who the appropriate medical/mental health professionals agree cannot be rehabilitated. (IE: Uncle bob who's first trip after being released from prison every time has been his meth-dealers house. After the 5th repetition of this pattern, too bad Bob, you're not worth the harm you cause to others.)
@B4F2DXZ3wks3W
No, ostracism to prison islands should be reinstated instead, where inmates should provide for their own survival, and public investment should be restricted to preventing escapes
@B389DS72mos2MO
Yes, but only for sexual violence offenders committing acts of sexual assault on adults, children and animals
