The use of the death penalty on a global scale

This post covers the opinions of R3NDI3R seen in the video below and my additional thoughts on the issue:


I don't agree with R3NDI3R on the part of corporal punishment such as a child rapist or a thief being amputated or even his suggestion of a painful death sentence.
Any civilized society on Earth has a duty not to sink to the level of criminals and other lawbreakers by introducing such inhumane practices of amputating body parts or other means of torture.

Most of every thing else I agree with. And the fact is, if a killer or rapist is put to death, it is a win-win situation and it does mean one less criminal to deal with.
My support for the death penalty is not for vengeance, but rather the safety of society as I mentioned in my other blog. By killing deadly criminals, you have less crime to deal with, you have people with similar motives discouraged from carrying out their plans and you have a dangerous individual with no morals put to rest permanently without the fear of him/her returning to do more harm.

Prison should only be a place for those who are guilty of minor crimes such as fraud, theft, corruption etc.
People who oppose the death penalty live in a dream world. They obviously do not work for the police or the law enforcement and don't know the danger of combating such dangerous people. Neither have opponents of the death penalty have been victims of serious crime that causes severe injury or death so it's very easy for them to judge and speak against the death penalty.

My solution of dealing with rapists, pedophiles, murderers, torturers and similar people is a quick and humane death. Put a whole bunch of people proven guilty of these crimes into one chamber and fill it with carbon monoxide. Hanging them is too painful and inhumane. Shooting them will leave a mess.
Carbon monoxide does neither. It is quick and painless. Once a human suffers from carbon monoxide, he/she doesn't know what is wrong with them and die quickly.

Keeping alive a criminal especially in countries with overcrowded prisons is a bad idea and does cost money to keep them alive. The death penalty saves all that. But keeping the execution of the criminals quick and humane is almost as important as killing them.

God forbid anyone of us one day carries out such an act out of desperation for whatever reason, I doubt even the supporters of the death penalty like R3NDI3R will want to suffer a cruel and painful execution.
Therefor we must make the executions as quick and humane as possible. As far as I can tell there is no more of a humane and cost saving way then using carbon monoxide.
