As with every emotive issue, capital punishment is being mauled by the partisans – haul and pull, twist and turn. Truth-seekers are confused and bewildered

One response to “Hanging Not Synonymous with Capital Punishment”
I am against captal punishment: It is barbaric (state sanctioned murder). It is irreversable (One theory has it that in the USA almost 100 innocent people have been executed). It is unequal application of the laws. It is almost always applied to the poor and disenfranchised in just about every society. It is not a deterent. Other than to watch someone die, it serves no purpose. The crimes attributed to capital punishment is almost always restricted to people of poverty, the mentally unstable, and to crimes of passion. The fact that execution awaits such criminal acts does not deter. In Jamaica, it will take a very RICH leader (one who can not be bought) who truly cares about Jamaica and its people to solve its crime problems. The “us” vs “them” mentality is what is the at the heart of the problem. Educate the people and then find them JOBS! That will bring the crime rate down (one can never truly eliminate crime). OK… so I can’t spell!
