death penalty1
Once upon a time, there was a man who sacrificed for a country by going to a war. Years later, when the war was over, luckily the man came home alive, but he wasn't mentally well. Time past. He started getting confused between his real life and the life during the war. Finally, he committed a murder, while thinking that he was still at war. Unfortunately, a government wants to put the man on the death row for the crime that he committed. Does this sound familiar to you? Yes, this tragedy story is not a fiction. It really took place in Oakland. The man was put on death row, and finished his life in a prison. After I heard this story, I started thinking, "Is this why we have a capital punishment?" I strongly disagree with capital punishment, because of the statistics that I'll state in next couple of paragraphs shows well that even though we execute the criminals and put them on death row still does not reduce the numbers of crimes. In next paragraphs, I'll even talk about how criminals were executed. It was very inhumane how people were killed, and still do not do any good to reducing numbers of crimes. First of all, let's take a look at the history of capital punishment. There are 38 states that currently author
All these numbers and methods of capital punishment were mainly to reduce the numbers of crimes. The idea of capital punishment is to scare people so they won't commit any crimes, but we have never achieved that idea as far as the statistics show. I understand that they have to punish people who did not obey the law some how, but taking someone's life away isn't right way to punish people. I believe that nobody has the right to take someone's life away, and nobody deserves to finish his or her life by putting on a death penalty. Also, I mentioned earlier in this essay, that the man who had a mentally problem and ended up putting on a death penalty. I don't think that the law was fair for him, because he sacrificed for the country when we needed him. That's how he became mentally ill. It seemed to me that the law didn't care what was the source that made him murder someone. If we have to blame someone for him murder, it should have been a government that sent him to war. I think that justice should focus more why people commit crimes and try to prevent it, instead of taking people's away after they commit crimes. After all, it comes down deep inside of my mind that death penalty is an unnecessary punishment to us when it does not bring numbers of crimes down. It's also inhumane and the cruelest act is being ever done to people and shouldn't exist anymore around humane being. ize the death penalty. According to Justice Center Web Site, Daniel Fr
