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
@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.
@9JR2TMZ1yr1Y
no, for the sake of life. Also the truth are sometimes found after the death and there is no going back
@B389DS71mo1MO
Yes, but only for sexual violence offenders committing acts of sexual assault on adults, children and animals
@B2QDW8W2mos2MO
Yes, but only for those who have been found guilty and been convicted for sex-related crimes (such as rape, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, repeat sex offenders).
@B2HZNL32mos2MO
Allow the criminals to choose. If they do not wish to have the death penalty, put them in a prison where they must care for their own well being. E.g, grow their own food, cook their own food, make products for themselves. If they didn’t wish to conform to society’s basic values then they can live in different one, where they are monitored and treated.
@B2BFNPW3mos3MO
Yes, and it should be used for all first degree murders, or any crimes committed by an non white immigrant
