That’s for the law makers. But it’s no different to applying sentencing guidelines for any offence. Each has a starting point, before a range of mitigating and aggravating factors are applied, along with other rules, before a final sentence is decided upon.
Since when has conducting a lawful execution, passed by a Court, amounted to premeditated murder?
Don’t be so ridiculous.

Ok then.
So the cost of the state executors.. then add the cost of the therapy they will require because all the Billy big balls who claim they can do it because they are actually decent humane people will no doubt be haunted forever with each act.

I would most certainly not be haunted, you are unbelievably presumptuous.
The cost would be a mere fraction of what it would be to keep them alive and in solitary for 40/50/60 years.

The cost in the states to keep someone on death row outweighs the cost of prison
Death penalty costs California more than $300m per execution
New study also shows that average time between conviction and execution is over 25 years – double the US national average
You claim that now but when you actually do the act in cold blood I'm sure you won't just forget it and act like it's nothing
And if you do. Then well. That's worrying

It’s very very tough to understand how it feels to take someone’s life - lawfully or not , there are thousands of soldiers over the years who are haunted by having to take lives during conflicts - having seen the affects from some then it’s not something to be dismissive of
And cost - believe each death penalty case costs just over £2mil in the US - 3 times the cost of keeping someone imprisoned for life
And yet you label others inhumane?
Have you ever seen the inside of a segregation unit in one of our prisons? If not, think of your absolute worst nightmare, and then multiply that several times over.
Having branded capital punishment, and those prepared to administer it, as inhumane, you then tell us that it’s acceptable to you to house someone in a small cell with basic toilet, no windows and no visiting rights for the rest of their lives?
Your humanity goalposts move from post to post, to the extent that I really am starting to question if you actually have the first clue where you stand on the issue of punishment.
You either find inhumane treatment abhorrent or you don’t. Or is there now a sliding scale of definition that you are seeking to apply in support of your argument?
You’re starting to tie yourself in knots.

Twice in a day.
Spot on
Amount of soldiers who get haunted for a killing even in war at someone trying to kill them! Let alone laying someone down and "putting them down"

Not really.
Restricting someone's right and removing someone from the planet are two entirely different things
If you can't see that then god help you
How is that response even remotely relevant to the post you quoted?

Because it's all relevant.
It started because people think their taxes are being used to keep these people alive
When it will cost more to remove them
Oh dear. I’m out. There’s no debating with someone who confuses himself to the extent you do.

Oi
Can we agree to disagree (2nd and final request)
Or do you want to start a new thread, which is pointless as everyone has their own entrenched views and nobody will be changing their minds anytime soon
Can we return to random irritations please

The ideal cop out - 'oh, that's for someone else to decide'.
Where do you think the line should be?

And I was just about to post a shatteringly good response that would have killed the argument stone dead.
But instead, you left me hanging.
