“You are hereby sentence to death immediately on Jan. 24, 2015 at 5:15 P.M.” says the judge in front of you. At that moment, two guards come up to you and take you to your prison cell. To be put on death row (to get executed) is considered the most cruel punishments. That is why it would be the best that we would end capital punishment.
Capital Punishment has been since ancient times, but has been put aside for more religious reasons. Capital punishment has gone against many things, including the bible. The bible says that thou shalt not kill (Exodus 21:13 in the Bible), but even though they kill someone, we should not get revenge. Also with going along with you shall not kill, we should not sin against someone who had sinned. Part of the christian religion is forgiving and compassion.
Capital Punishment has been set unholy by christians and muslims, but there are other ways to have a type of capital punishment instead of killing them. The prisoners should have a choice if they want to be killed or just be in jail for the rest of their life. “We shouldn't be looking to the past” (Buffalo News, 2014) “Instead, we should be looking to the future, more along the lines of a life prison sentence.
Some people might say that capital punishment is good for some people. Those people are like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who had kill several people and injured hundreds at the boston bombing last year. (Buffalo News, 2014) Charlie Baker, a politician from Massachusetts had said “I support the reasonable application of death penalty for only the most serious crimes,” on January 31, 2014, but I say that does it matter when a person dies? Every person on the planet either dies now or later, it doesn’t matter. We all will die at some point.
Capital punishment has been deem as a bad punishment since the beginning of time. Either by religious reasons or common sense, but some people have said capital punishment is a good thing, but there are also other ways to punish someone for what they have done. So the real question is, would you want to be killed by lethal injection? I am sure I wouldn’t want to be.
