Capital Punishment

Lethal Injection
vs
Hanging
vs
Killed by Gunfire

the 'killed by gunfire' is not for entertainment purposes
I mean. it really still exists
some countries who cannot afford lethal injection
and those countries who are more 'brute'
turn to gunfire as capital punishment

as seen above, they are ranked according to
how -humane- they are
and not how -funfair- they are
lethal injection is used in most stats in US
where as hanging, it pretty famous in Singapore
however I'm not too sure about gunfire executions
probably in the lesser developed countries?

well thats not the point
the point is not talking how fanciful they are
what I'm trying to bring up is
is there no other way except to sentence convicts to death?
many arguments were brought up if they were sentenced to life, such as
'these criminals are good-for-nothings, sucking up our taxes!'
'why not death? its such an inhumane thing to do (murder)'
well yes, however my point of view is
who are you, a bystander, maybe a witness, maybe a relative of the victim
to decide for the person who is already dead
that the person is to die just because he killed someone?
alright, yes you're right. he killed the man
so what?
I'm not saying you are supposed to let him run scot free
however think about it this way
yes, he will be sucking taxes
but prisons are built because they are supposed to hold criminals
-not- placing criminals in there would be more of a waste of money
don't you think so?

on another viewpoint
capital punishment shouldn't be abolished too
if you watched the show 'Dead Man Walking'
you would have experienced many emotions throughout the whole show
it is just another typical movie that involves a convict
and he received the death sentence after many appeals
as the clock ticks and as his time is nearing
he begins to repent on what he has done
admitting them to his spiritual advisor
if you sentence a convict one life term
he would not be able to repent because
he is not in the same shoes as the person sentenced to death
the person sentenced to death knows that he is about to die
whereas the life imprisonment-er would not know when he will die
therefore, he wouldnt repent for his wrongdoings
yeah, so what if he repent? he's still gonna die
which leads me back to this
if you repent and know what you have sinned
God would surely forgive you
and give you another chance to turn over a new leaf
God will not leave you in the lurch
God will not turn his attention away from you
but
God -will- forgive you, love you, and its quite evident because
2000 years ago, something magnificent happened

to summarise it all up
this is still a controversial issues
both on whether :
'Capital punishment should be abolished'
and
'Lethal Injection should be used instead of Hanging or Execution by Gunfire'

and of course I, myself
am expressing more of a biased viewpoint
and just giving my two cents worth
