Scribbles of An Ape

Everybody knows about the age old debate of the death penalty. You either have death by the chair or by lethal injection. Most people say that it's cruel and inhumane. No matter what the crime people usually believe that the death penalty is wrong and it should never happen. I'm still wondering exactly what kind of sense that makes. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but at what point does it become ridiculous.

I personally am pro-death penalty. I'm pro death penalty for endless reasons. To think that someone could brutally murder a family and just get sent to jail is astounding. To think that a little girl could be raped and have her innocence taken away without any justice is absolutely horrible. The death penalty was not invented just to not be used. People constantly argue that don't you think it's better to give them a life sentence in jail and them rot away. NO! This is not even close to the truth. You don't rot away in jail at all. You are still able to contact your family and receive visits. You are still able to eat, drink and pee. You basically live in luxury if anything. You rarely do anything for yourself and you get free time to go out and play ball. What kind of logic is this? Now take into consideration that the person that was killed can no longer see their family let alone spend time with them. The person who is dead can no longer eat, drink and pee. That little kid can no longer go out and play ball like you. That person's life is gone forever. The person who was raped will also be mentally and physically scarred forever. Also the death penalty is the right choice because the person who commits such heinous acts may end up dead in jail anyway. The people in jail cells also could believe in the death penalty and kill you because they feel so strongly. I also personally believe that if you are going to kill someone so brutally than you should be killed the same exact way but of course that isn’t humane, so you might as well just get right in that chair. If you’re going to rape someone brutally then of course you should be raped twice as bad but of course that isn't humane, so just hop right into that chair. No matter what I will always believe in the death penalty because it’s the most humane thing to do rather than killing the killer yourself.
