We have seen a plethora of unworkable, pointless, complex legislation under this government none of which is necessary if the judicial system applied the basic original laws rigidly.
As to the death penalty there are numerous occasions when it would not deter a total nutcase drugged out of his skull but a lot less people would carry guns in the commision of calculated crime if they thought they might pay the ultimate price if they killed someone.
Surely if the threat of the death penalty existed and saved some innocent lives it would be justifiable ? You'll never see a return to hard labour or life meaning life in terms of a jail sentence, the judiciary are just too soft for that. |
You saved me a lot of typing Paul, well said.
