Debate: The Death Penalty.

A few key rolls play into the Death Penalty. The Convicted Guilty person(s) that commited the crime. Scenario: There is a bar fight, some guy attacks another man in a parkinglot outside of the bar. He runs to his car, in defense, and shoots the man, killing him on the spot. In most people's eyes it was self defense, but some drunks could have seen it differently, and he himself was drunk at the time of the shooting. Now, he doesn't get the chance for Life in jail, but is going to recieve the Death Penalty. How does our 'government' that says We ourselves cannot kill, go ahead with the 'murder' of a person, to help rid society of this... Does this mean our own government is above the law? sounds iffy.

That is what I was saying earlier, but everyone was like, the executioner is being given the right to kill them.

And, what, if anything, gives One man the right to kill another man..? Nothing. The bible states, 'Thou shout not kill another man'. Somebody has to do it, so people are hired just for these 'executions'.

True, a lot of people here dont read the bible, so they prolly wouldn't care about that. Not religiuous.
