Reaper’s Tolerance
The Death Penalty, the point of this challenge is to either justify or not to justify why it is in existence, but thats the wrong question. The real question we should be asking is what would cause a normal person, born into this world who is innocent at first, to be driven to kill someone ? Why were they so angry or upset that it would cause them to commit the ultimate crime against nature and GOD (regarless of religion) ?
First of all, I have no right to make assumtions or judgements of people who have commited murders because I myself don't know what drove them to do it in the first place or what is was like for them to live or how they grew up, but for a person who commits murder must be someone who grew up without knowing how to love someone and forgive someone, they are the ones who grew up, not knowing what it was like to have mercy in their lives, thus it reflects on their actions yet still not enough to commit murder as I believe, because it would have to be the result of a deep psychological experince that broke them inside out that would have caused them to commit murder, but in saying so, I do not believe that all them show no remorse for what they have done. There maybe those who commit murder of the ones who have contiously abused them, physically & emotionally but in due time, they can feel remorse because despite commiting an act or cruelty such as taking a life, they are still human underneath who can feel remorse, as it is a part of us and goes to those who can still be renewed.
Now as for the death penalty for crimes in my country, Malaysia, it goes to any who have commited murder, regardess of what the situation was and only in rare cases can the person have justice for them themselves which is where my next point lies. A person or in this case, a victim of a crimes such as rape, if they were to fight back and cause the death of their attacker, it should go without saying that they did not have a choice as they would also have to fear for their lives which would bring them to the point where they would have to commit murder for the safty of their own lives.
In my final point, if you were to ask me what people deserve the death penalty, it would have to be the kinds of people who would never respond to others calmly and would only respond with acts for pure violence without any hint of self-control and people who have committed murder who are mentally incapable of controlling their thoughts and actions, the mentally impaired who are most likely to commit murder again.
In conclusion, the death penalty is an extreme punishment and should suit the situation of how the crime happened and what was the nature of the relationship between the victim and murderer before sentancing can be carried out.
