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.
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.
