Sittie Yadjiera Marohom Issue: Death Penalty Thesis: Yes to Death Penalty

Death penalty has been part of the justice system since the beginning of the civilization and has accepted as fair punishment by governmental bodies of any period of time. The capital punishment has become more human however the execution may be processed the point is that they still take place today. The issue on death penalty is that some think it is immoral and inhumane while some think it is just and necessary for building a well-established governmental system.

 I, as a supporter of death penalty thinks that it is necessary in order to lessen moreover prevent such unthinkable crimes that may happen. Do you remember the Maguindanao massacre where at least 57 defenseless civilians were killed or the Vizconde massacre where 47-year-old Estrellita Vizconde was found dead lying in bed with 13 stab wounds beside her seven-year-old daughter Jennifer, who succumbed to 19 stab wounds. On the floor at the foot of the bed was 18-year-old Carmela – naked, raped and stabbed 17 times. Jeffry Dahmer who murdered 17 men and children, and who not only dismembered his victims’ bodies, he also ate some of his victims (biography2012); or John Wane Gacy who murdered 33 men and children while dressed as a clown and before murdering them raping the victims, this man’s last word were “kiss my ass” (biography2012). These people who killed those innocent humans obviously got no regrets after committing those that’s why death penalty was a correct punishment for these people.

 Death penalty should not be given freely to those who murders a person because you don’t know what situation they are dealing with, the point is death penalty should only be given to those people who committed a very serious crime because whatever our opinion towards death penalty, one thing most of us don’t know is the pain of those family members experiencing. The thirst of justice for their loved ones that was killed and death penalty should be imposed in order to prevent those individuals to prevent revenge and do their own version of justice. Because if the victim killed the perpetrator then the victim become the perpetrator and it will be crime after crime.

  Why should the killer be alive if the victim never had a choice? Therefore, death penalty should be impose because in that way it will prevent a bigger problem to arise and we can have a fair justice. Like what Cicero of Greece said “Let the punishment match the offense”.
