To shoot or not to shoot
This is inspired from the Tookie Execution and really all the pro Lifers.
So heres the question A man has broken in your house and a fight ensue's , as he makes his way out of your bedroom he fires a few shots, one hits and kills your wife/GF the other hits you in the side/stomach, he drops his gun, you grab it and chase him down the stairs and are now face to face with a stone cold killer, he's already shot at you and hit you in the stomach, you have a chance to live but probably won't. He starts heading out the door, but you are clear headed enough to take a shot at him what do you do... |

you would think , but there are people who say tookie should live if he shot your mom... [/ QUOTE ] If your example is supposed to make people question their opposition to the death penalty, it is a very poor one. In your hypothetical I saw the person kill my wife so there is no doubt that he did it. But one of the main reasons that many people are opposed to the death penalty is that courts can never reach that level of certainty in determining whether someone actually did commit the crime that they were convicted of. DNA testing has shown after the fact that many innocent people have been executed. Another problem with your hypothetical is that the criminal in question is about to escape. In comparison, we have the ability to keep people in prison for life with almost no possibility of them escaping. |

Re: To shoot or not to Shoot
Where's the option for one in the kneecap, and another in the groin?

Re: To shoot or not to Shoot
1. This sounds like politics to me
2. You just saw your wife get shot, and you're bleeding to death. I don't think you're in an emotional state where you can/will evaluate the moral consequences of your actions. The people who decide death penalty cases are, however. Poor comparison. |

Re: To shoot or not to Shoot
PS Of course its politics...
But the moral high ground has just gone out the window, you will now burn in hell for shooting a man... Now say he is caught but your dead, do you want him fried? |

[/ QUOTE ] No, and it's clearly hypocritical for anyone who is against the death penalty to say yes to this |
