For me, in this generation should not allowed the death penalty because this generation is lock of justice so that the judgment most of the time is not really the truth due of the lock of justice and also sometimes cause of higher position that can mark them to hide the real judgment.
@9QQY7D89mos9MO
No but balance it with tiered life sentences. The more heinous the crime should be with imprisonment at very hard labor.
Only for crimes that warrant that kind of punishment.
No, Philippines has current poor justice system under this administration.
yes, as long as we have a fair justice system
@92S4D92Independent3yrs3Y
No, spending life in prison receiving daily tortures is a harsher sentence.
@8YL4VLNIndependent3yrs3Y
No, the current justice system is not fair for poor so many innocent might be convicted
the death penalty is not a solution to reduce crime in the world because i believe that everyone has a reason why they do something or make a mistake
@8XKVYNVIndependent3yrs3Y
Depending on the crime committed
No because only the poor people are always sentence to death penalty but the rich one not. There's no equity.
@8WC84GM3yrs3Y
No, becuase there is still a need to revise and do something about the justice system.
yes, but only if we have better and improved Justice System
@8VW59H4Independent4yrs4Y
Yes, but with the current status of our justice system the death penalty will only end up benefiting the rich and can be manipulated by people in power to throw innocent people into the death line. so No, for now.
@8VW57K3Independent4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for those who are surely guilty with evidences and not for those who were accused just because they are suspected.
Yes, if the trial will be held fairly and investigate thoroughly if he/she really did it
Yes, for those people who create heinous crimes that a citizen consider as community's enemy.
@8RQXF9G4yrs4Y
I would agree if it would be a petition between both sides of the accused and the accuser's family deciding what punishment should be done. Also, legitimate evidence is required before deciding to punish the convict to prevent false accusations. There should be a punishment for false accusers too, but death penalty is not to be involved this time.
@8PSSSHN4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if my side is in power.
No, only God can punished those who commited sins.
@8NZZLT34yrs4Y
Yes, They should face their consequences
It depends if the sin is unforgivable then no.
NO, Because I Believe that people can still change
Yes, if only they're proven guilty.
No, it's better to let them stay in prison
the victim or the victim's family should decide and it depends on how serious the crime is
@8KZY9KH4yrs4Y
yes but only for heinous crimes
It depends because sometimes innocents are receiving death penalty while others who really committed the crime is there outside, watching and having fun.
@8KYV8LWGreen Republican4yrs4Y
I do not support death penalty, it only cause many people die becuase of the crime they did, being lived in the prison is more better than giving them death penalty, giving them a chance to change.
@8FB68NV4yrs4Y
No, not until the justice system will be better because a lot of innocent are being convicted
@8DH5DVL5yrs5Y
It depends on the situation, if there's enough evidence to prove
@8CT2R7C5yrs5Y
It depends on the situation especially if the evidence are overwhelming.
I support this not because I want bad guys to die but because if this is proven true, that death penalty is true, I think it will be a way for the crime rate to decrease because criminals will be scared to commit a crime if death penalty is proven fair.
@8CJW2KMDemocratic5yrs5Y
We don't have the right to take other person lives
It depends on the level of crime committed.
@8CJSJNR5yrs5Y
I think death penalty doesn't always applies on every case. We must always choose to look or to see where most citizen will benefit while of course having a fair justice system both side.
@982VVVK2yrs2Y
Yes, but in a way where the criminal gets used for a science experiment/ drug experiments
no because I believe people can change
@8XFCJ223yrs3Y
I support death penalty, if the person only is convicted many times of so many heavy crimes.
Only when our justice system is improved and the presented proofs in court is a hundred percent concrete.
The people does not have the right to kill but I support death penalty not because I don't believe in that commandment. But the thing is, if it is proven that death penalty will be fair, those who has the guts the do wrongdoings will be scared to commit crimes. If it is really implemented with fairness and just then I approve of it because I think it will lessen the crime of the society. The evil ones will now be afraid of committing a crime.
for me no because it can be used for conspiracy
@9BMZ5TXIndependent2yrs2Y
I am neutral with the death penalty
@96KW3XMDemocratic2yrs2Y
With a better justice system, yes.
Yes, but only if the country's justice system is fixed so that no one who was innocently convicted would receive such punishment.
Would violate the human rights and no study show that death penalty is effective.
No, because death penalty is anti poor and majority of the people who are the victims of death penalty are innocent. Just fix first the justice system before they support this.
@968GJWY2yrs2Y
Yes, but if our justice system here in the Philippines has zero corruption but for now, No.
Yes, if only our justice system is in its highest quality
No. Anti poor and we should fix the Justice system first
@9684BBBIndependent2yrs2Y
We must focus more on improving our justice system than death penalty.
No, because there are cases that judges get payed by rich people and to make the suspect be a criminal without justice since our justice system is not so good or very poor.
@9675TDVIndependent2yrs2Y
No, not until the justice system is fixed and fair enough because many people are innocently convicted through the power of influence and money, and only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for the crimes of treason, sedition, espionage, murder, rape, and kidnapping of a minor when it is carried out by way of lethal injection, hanging, firing squad, or gas chamber
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, any unprovoked murder, anything against animals, and other heinous crimes with absolute evidence.
@ThomasJj883yrs3Y
Sort of. I do not like how the government can execute someone but I do believe that public executions should be brought back. Anyone who has harmed an animal, unprovoked murder, or have raped someone should be publicly hung or shot in the head.
@4NJR28J4yrs4Y
No, this is state sanctioned murder and is not a very effective tool at eliminating violent crime.
@8QBVVJD4yrs4Y
Yes, But only with crimes against children, and people with vulnerabilities.
@8QL53BX4yrs4Y
No, the death penalty is to costly
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence And mandate it nationwide.
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Abolish life sentences and replace them with the death penalty.
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes and mandate it nationwide
@8ZYQ3HP3yrs3Y
I believe it should all depend on the person and situation.
@8R2RMP34yrs4Y
Yes, but only for convicts who committed murder while incarcerated.
@8R2RMP34yrs4Y
Yes, but only for inmates who committed murder while incarcerated.
@8R2RMP34yrs4Y
Yes, but only for inmates who commit murder while incarcerated.
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Yes, but only as a last resort, where life imprisonment shall also be an alternative
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Yes, but only as a last resort, where life imprisonment shall also be an alternative (life for those who were 21 years or older at the time of the crime, 50 years for those under 21 years)
@8HK59NT4yrs4Y
I think it depends on what the person have done. Sometimes they deserve a second chance.
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, because too many people are innocently convicted. Plus, I think that spending life in prison is a harsher sentence because the dead don't suffer unless their soul was sent to hell that is.
@8H4DF7B4yrs4Y
Only if there is objective evidence that it is the ONLY way to stop the person from committing a violent crime.
@8M7T3MR4yrs4Y
Yes, but an alternative of using these convicts for science experiments to advance technology and medicine would do a better service to the community, nation, and world
@8YJZQSK3yrs3Y
No, Exodus 20:13 "You shall not kill"
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Yes, but only with euthanasia that kills instantly.
@3YNTGFH4yrs4Y
Yes but in practice it is too costly - at least in California.
@38LNC724yrs4Y
No, too many people are innocently convicted - even though in theory I would say yes for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, I do not trust the government to execute this sufficiently
@68QRLZT4yrs4Y
No, the death penalty is state-sponsored murder, and is therefore immoral
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
Yes, but improve it to go faster and ensure no innocent person is killed.
@6MZYWZZ4yrs4Y
No, it is no longer necessary with modern technology
@6X6R3R44yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the alternative is life without parole.
@77QDMZN4yrs4Y
No because the death penalty costs way more than life without parole.
@6YS83423yrs3Y
Yes, but only for white-collar crimes
@6YS83424yrs4Y
Yes, but only for certain white-collar crimes
@TheCornlord16104yrs4Y
No, if the death pentality is for extreme cases of murder then murdering said criminals should count thus rendering the process useless.
@MilesBHuff4yrs4Y
Yes, but only when the criminal is unrehabilitatable
@6T6Y4L23yrs3Y
Yes, but only for cases involving murder
@78S5M875yrs5Y
too many people are innocently convicted
@757T3R34yrs4Y
Yes, we cannot risk the escape of convicted murderers or sex offenders
@7W3SBDC4yrs4Y
State issue, not Federal.
@86SWRX94yrs4Y
No, but the decision should belong to the states.
@EthanHars4yrs4Y
Yes, only for sex crimes and school shooters
@8C6ZKZK4yrs4Y
No, as appeals cases are tiresome to the court systems and end up costing more money to tax payers
@8C6ZKZK4yrs4Y
No, as appeals cases are tiresome the court systems and end up costing more money to tax payers
@842VWLK4yrs4Y
no. end the death penalty for murder and other crimes but allow it in the case of war crimes, attempted genocide, and extreme terrorist attacks, like 9/11.
@8D937L45yrs5Y
at this moment I don;t know.
@8DP6P7F5yrs5Y
No, nearly four percent of people sentenced to death are innocent. The injections used in administrating the death penalty were also not developed by doctors, as it would violate a doctor's oath to do no harm. This results in a painful process with one step solely for the benefit of the onlooker. It's also cheaper to sentence someone to a life in prison. I also just think that it's wrong.
@8FDV47Y4yrs4Y
People who commit harsh and terribly horrific crimes with undeniable evidence might deserve the death penalty. I also agree that spending life in prison and dealing with the hardships of prison is the harsher sentence.
@8HQZQJF4yrs4Y
No, as I feel the death penalty only does more harm. However, I feel those who qualify for the death penalty, should receive punishments that their crimes deserve.
@8HVW4QY4yrs4Y
Yes however the victims family or families should be able to request the legally and fairly convicted person be put through the crimes they committed or sentenced to life in prison without parole.
@8JBN6KV4yrs4Y
This depends. Case by case basis. In the instance of Nancy Pelosi, Bill Gates and George Soros - YES!
@8J7VYJT4yrs4Y
Yes, but as an optional alternative to life without parole
