"The famous quote by Gandhi does speak the truth: "An eye for an eye
makes the whole world blind."
The first and foremost reason why some people approve death penalty is
to decrease the crime rates of their country. If it is implemented by the
government, the society would feel afraid to commit a crime thus
stopping them from doing malicious acts that can harm or end someone’s
life.
The death penalty is used for protecting the safety of citizen, deterring
crime and bringing criminals to justice. According to oxford dictionary the
death penalty is the punishment of being killed that is used in some
countries for very serious crimes. President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated his
support for the imposition of death penalty.
We are killing people who kill people to teach others that killing people is
bad. Ironic. According to inquirer net a man admits raping, killing a 1 year
old boy. But they also said hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,
imagine a 1 year old boy is rape and killed by a construction worker, you
cant put up with pain the parents are feeling, we are just scrolling in
facebook and sleeping peacefully at night not wondering if the parents of
that young boy is crying at sleep remember holding that baby while its
sleep, each inhale is suffocating.
In conclusion, I agree with the opinion that sentencing plunderers,
terrorists, drug traffickers, and serious criminals to death is beneficial for
countries. This is because of its deterrent effect, its ability to save the
government a lot of money and the fact that we can keep dangerous
criminals out of society forever. Given this situation, it is recommended
that governments around the world should have a robust justice system
(the process of administering the death penalty is error-free) before
thinking about implementing this form of punishment.
