Should they bring back hanging

[Andy]

Now i know people got hanged that were innocent but with todays dna tests it is 99.9% proof

Technically, the death penalty still exists under EU Law. Now that all six euro treaty's were signed  the death penalty can apply in times of war, perils of war, riot and insurrection. TECHNICALLY, the British Constitution ended on 1st Jan 2009...read it on the 'ternet, true story bro. ROFLMAO.

Probably not the best topic to discuss on a car forum IMO. Everyone has their opinion but this isn't the place really.

If you kill someone with intent you should have your life taken away from you. (IMVHO)

What about that City game yesterday eh?! Mental!

Shoot'em it would be cheaper only a couple of pence for a standard Nato round isn't it. 

We have tried for many decades now to rehabilitate prisoners and prison numbers continue to grow, so we don't seem to be moving to a high place.  We (society) and marketing companies have created an instant gratification society where the acquisition of material goods is seen as been the big thing.  Time we all learned respect for ourselves and others and that you have to be happy from within and taking away what someone else has should not be tolerate.  Lets remember that for the most part there are very few people who are hunger or cold in this country, so why behave in this way.

There are shipyard workers in Greece earning 5-600 euros a month and we have welfare groups over here saying it is not fair to limit a family to £500 a week in benefits.

Then there are the psycologist and probation boards that have to decide if someone is fit to be released back into society, and unfortunately sometimes they get it wrong and more innocent people suffer.

Tis one f**ked up system which ain't ever gonna be fixed.

Agree with the Death Penalty.
 As mentioned if you kill with intent (premeditated) then your fair game. If there's ANY doubt or ambiguity then life (and I mean life not 5-10 years with good behaviour, incredible system where you can murder etc and as long as your contrite and behave yourself we will let out early so that you can to do it again) inprisonment.
Am all for public execution as well, maybe sell tickets (we need to use that Olympic stadium for something after July), will raise money for the depleted exchequer  and why limit yourself to hanging, I quite like the idea in some Muslim countries where the victims/victims families are included in handing down the punishments.
Great thread BTW

Being honest I don't like anyone taking someones life it's such a precious thing to lose

In China they had to stop publicising when and where the executions were taking place as they became too popular with the spectators.

Very true... so what punishment do you suggest? If i came to your house and shot a family member, what would a suitable punishment be for me?

100%. 

I had this very discussion with a load of guys at work.
An eye for an eye etc.

On the flip side of the coin I would also introduce a leg and arm removal for all yobs when proven guilty.  Eg.  A yob/hoody walks down your street and kicks your wing mirror off your car.  He's caught on CCTV doing the deed and is guilty beyond reasonable doubt!!!  Have his leg removed, or if he used his arm to do it, remove that - publicly if need be.  Trust me when I tell you that hoody/yob behaviour would drop drastically, and so would knife crime etc....
This country is far too much of a soft touch!!

Eye for an Eye, very much agree.

Murderers and paedophiles should be shot in the head (this way their blood and organs can be immediately removed and put to good use for those who need them), Rapists castrated (Not chemically, I mean physically!, even go as far as saying lop off his nob, leave him half an inch so he can piss but thats it! ) and car thieves should be strapped in an old banger and driven off the end of a cliff.

Known gang members/troublemakers should be forced to wear a shock collar (Tazer) around their necks that knock them out if they leave the house outside curfews.

And problem kids should be dealt with like in Singapore (Violence/Graffiti/drugs/criminal damage etc) they should get whipped with a split bamboo cane a dozen times.

Would soon bring crime levels down.

Drink drivers, not sure what to do with them, perhaps buy them a bus pass, maybe that would be punishment enough
