Criminals who have nothing to lose do not fear the death penalty. The death penalty is not a deterrent to people like that. This is one of the things I disagree with the right on. You think that 17 year old had any faith in his future when he was driving a stolen vehicle and then struck that police officer with the stolen vehicle?
When Trudeau and Doug Ford are done destroying Canada and Ontario, Tyrone and Jamal are going to home invade your house and force your wife and then you to suck their cocks and give them all your money at gunpoint. And no death penalty is going to stop them from doing that. Because Tyrone and Jamal don't have anything to lose. Tyrone and Jamal don't even have $880 to their name to pay a social distancing ticket and they have no future. Because our government torpedo'd the economy. They can't get jobs. Because a bunch of small businesses died permanently. They can't get affordable housing because of the housing bubble. You're going to get culturally enriched. And if you try to shoot the intruder, the courts are going to charge YOU. lmao.
If you seriously want to do something about the rising crime in Canada, our politicians have to lift the lockdowns, stop destroying the economy, stop outsourcing jobs abroad, stop mass immigration, increase the housing supply, provide more opportunities for the people who already live here. Or else more and more Tyrones, Jamals, Muhammads, Juans, John Runningwater are going to turn to crime. Poor whites are more likely to resort to suicide and opioid overdose when they feel hopeless. But every once in awhile you see some low-inhibition homeless white dude on heroin will stab you for the contents of your wallet.
Both Liberals and Conservatives have absolutely no clue how to deal with crime. Liberal policy is creating more poverty and leading more people to become criminals as a result. And being tough on crime is not going to stop people who have nothing to lose. People need to have something to lose to be deterred by the death penalty or whatever else.
The US incarceration rate is huge compared to most of the rest of the world. They have a tough on crime mentality. And yet their homicide rate is far higher than Canada's. Why? Because the type of people who commit murder have nothing to lose and don't give a fuck if they go to prison for life or get the death penalty. If you want less homicide in society, you need to tackle the source of the despair that people feel. People need more opportunity in society. There isn't enough opportunity to go around. Especially now. We have a system of musical chairs in our society. And the people who are left without a chair will either overdose on drugs, kill themselves or kill YOU. lol.
Yes, but it does get them out of the gene pool.
This has been debunked a thousand times. The death penalty is an enormous deterrent. It's just not used very much. More importantly, it rather nicely prevents re-offense.
Which is not to say that deterrence alone can solve all our problems, but it is necessary. A lot of thugs need to die. We should be killing them.
They have higher crime because of demographics. Americans have to deal with more criminals and are better prepared to do so.
Can’t let them out early on parole if you put them to death.
Under certain conditions, a considerably high percentage of humans would become murderers, assailants, rapists, thieves. That's why you live in Canada and not Russia with a bunch of low-inhibition Russian gangster thugs who don't give any fucks. I would have used El Salvador as an example but then you'd bring up race most likely. Portland and to a lesser extent Seattle are fairly white. And look at how much white crime there is there. White people are more likely to kill themselves or overdose on drugs when they lose the game of musical chairs than black and brown people. But you're starting to see a lot of white lumpens turn violent in Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, etc. You have too much faith in humanity if you think the losers of late-stage capitalism are just going to go away quietly killing themselves instead of turning the knife or gun on you. High levels of poverty if not income inequality leads to a low-trust society.
If I'm a homeless white guy with mental issues and/or low IQ with no hope of digging out of a hole, what incentive do I have to not culturally enrich you in the parking lot with a lead pipe and steal your wallet? You have a lot to lose. The homeless man has nothing to lose. Do you want to live your life in fear of being culturally enriched at a moment's notice like you were a RPG character walking around in a game with random encounters? Society has to tackle the socio-economic conditions that lead to crime.
The problem is that government gets in the way far too often.
Thomas Sowell states that the black family began to deteriorate rapidly in the decades after the expansion of the welfare state under LBJ.
Then there is the fact that the USA can't compete with the low labour costs in China. That's part of the reason for a drive toward automation - price controls such as minimum wage laws don't work and for businesses to automate faster, reduce employment costs, or shut down entirely Less opportunities to earn money coupled with an ever growing influx of people from low-trust societies is a breeding ground for crime.
And I haven't even touched on the financial shenanigans of the last century. Wilson and Nixon both sold out the West's future respectively by allowing the Federal Reserve to be the exclusive 'lender' and by removing the gold standard from the US, while still retaining position as the world's 'reserve currency'
This is literally a death by a thousand cuts.
They captured the Muslim Harpo and Zeppo Marx. Oh, what wacky hijinks they'll get up to in prison... getting gang raped most likely.
Our prisons are turning brown. They’ll group together with their kind and be just fine. They might actually be respected by their circle.
These guys will be free in 10 years at most.
lol you think the 17 year old will be in jail in 2030?
The worst part about this is because there were two of them and only one dead cop, these boys will have to split the 10 million dollars they are entitled to under the Khadr Act.
Death penalty for serial murderers and pedophiles. Not for killing police.
Also change the law so we can own guns and self defense for home, property and family.
The government locking us in our homes for a cough and you people want to give them the poor to execute people? The grovernment is retarded. Don't trust them with life and death
We are talking about ideals. I oppose the lockdowns as much as anyone.
So you agree the government is very prone to making mistakes and possible excecuting an innocent person? Or even possibly abusing their power.
I agree you would need overwhelming evidence, yes. You would need protections in place. Do you disagree with Trump's decision to proceed with what were stalled capital punishments?
Like our protections and "rights" we had prior to covid? I have absolutely zero faith the state won't abuse their power. Covid should be a wake up to more people that the state is nothing but a hinderence, to say the least, that power clearly corrupts and tyranny is ever creeping forward now. The less power they have the better I'm not famaliar with what trump did in regards to capital punishment.
Yeah, I just can't feel any sympathy for these people anymore
