Transcripts
the death penalty I don't believe in the
death penalty because for me it's always
a thing of you know who gets the judge
who gets to live or die even if the
person is being killed because they
killed someone I still don't go for that
I for an eye type thing
now I don't believe in the death penalty
I I don't believe in killing in fact I
think that if someone deserves the death
penalty actually instead of getting a
disc penalty they should serve time in
jail and have to face society and feel
the humility if they don't if they serve
the death penalty they will not feel the
shame and will not realize the
consequences
I believe in death penalty because I
think rape and terrorism are some crimes
which are totally so disgusting towards
human race and that's I don't think it's
encouraged by anyone in the whole world
and everybody wants peace so I think
yeah there is there are some reasons why
this death penalty should be there
the death penalty that's a tough one
because i think the death penalty is a
good deterrent it it would definitely
stop me from doing certain crimes if i
knew that i was going to be killed if i
did them the problem with it is that you
can never be sure if the person actually
did it so if we convict someone and then
kill him and later find out that the
person didn't actually do the crime then
I think that's a tragedy
I'm against the death penalty for all
right in the main reason I'm against it
is that there's always an element of
doubt you never know if somebody really
did murder someone or well murders
usually the main reason for death
penalty and so there's always an element
of doubt it can never be quite sure and
so I think there's always a risk and you
should you shouldn't kill someone
I think that's a really difficult
question whether or not the death
penalty should be in place most of the
time I think that I'm against the death
penalty but then you know you read
stories in the newspapers especially
about children being killed or
particularly cruel ways of ending
people's lives and then sometimes i get
so angry that I think yeah just just
kill that person because they deserve it
but really when I calm down I don't
believe in the death penalty
