Singapore hangs woman convict for drug trafficking, first in almost 20 years
No nation can call itself civilized that still uses the death penalty.
Well… Singapore is trying to use it for like everything
Edit: for the downvoters, I have a fascinating read for you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole
No they are not they use it for drug trafficking and murder cases. That doesn't mean I approve of it, I deplore it.
Yeah they hang you for lollygagging.
They won't be getting my tourist dollars.
Some crimes are so heinous and intrinsically evil that I believe we as society shouldn't take the burden of keeping those people alive just for the sake of it. I believe that in those very limited cases, death penalty should be allowed.
The problem is that you will 100% kill innocent people. And there is no way to reverse it later on...
If it's allowed there will be mistakes, innocent people will be killed.
And it will be abused.
This should only be used for cases where there is 100% of evidence that the person is guilty (eg: tool box killers, Breivik, mass murderers, etc)
I agree death penality itself has its uses e.g. prosecution of war criminals, rebel leaders, druglords and I think corrupt officials in some cases. It should be applied to those who despite being behind bars would continue to influence outside causing more death or downfall of a nation if they remain alive. Though for this case just for carrying heroine I don't think that should be a death sentence it is just stupid an outdated way of control. Though problem with death sentence sometimes it becomes a hammer and when it becomes a hammer everything becomes a nail. It should only be a last resort.
Most people would rather be hanged than go to prison if they truly knew what was being done behind closed doors in the name of being humane.
