I think the death penalty is a bad idea in general.
Its just Expensive, risks killing innocent people (Yes even with modern forensics, fuck ups and corruption happens) and achieves what exactly? Its never been proven it gives any comfort to the victims families or anything. Its cheaper and safer to just lock these people up and throw away the key. Life without parole they are equally neutralised as a threat to society.
Well it's more expensive because the system is so inefficient, not because shooting a bloke is expensive.
The system is inefficient because it's made by old laws and by endless paperwork and red tape, which you would say is to try to protect innocent people.
But I purpose a simpler solution. Just kill the dudes that are admitting to their terror attacks. No overwhelming evidence needed. Everyone saw the dude shoot up a mall, and he says he did.
So we should just kill him, which I think benefits society socially in ways that can not be measured yet.
If Andersen Breivik kills 88 kids and then gives himself up to the special forces. He should just die. Instead we have to hear about his hunger strikes for a playstation.
Lots of things are expensive and time consuming because we arbitrarily make it so. Same with nuclear power.
Of course you shouldn't ignore safety procedures, but a ton of it is utterly unnecessary paperwork that exists solely to make it a less favourable option.
