Referring to earlier discussion about the death penalty, what kind of punishment is it really? If someone murders an innocent person, then what kind of justice is killing the accused? Put it this way. If you killed someone tomorrow, and you were arrested, would you rather spend the majority of the remainder of your life rotting in a cell, knowing by the time you get out, you will have a criminal record and you won't achieve anything in life because of that, having to live with the guilt of killing someone too, or would you rather just end it there and take the death penalty. We would be doing those kind of people a favour by allowing the death penalty.
Look at Sudan Hussain or Osama Bin Laden or even Gaddafi. Was justice served by their deaths? No. The way they died suggested they probably died instantly, so they wouldn't suffer. Them kind of people should suffer for years for their crime.
G.A.G.U.S
On your examples.
Gaddafi i never expected him to stand trial, i always thought if he gets caught he wont see a prison cell.
Bin Laden, well he has been discussed on here plenty.
And Saddam stood trial for his crimes. So they at least had that. Was it justice. Yes i think it was. He showed no remorse no repentance and i think he never would have if he'd been locked away for the next 20 years or so.
