I think the death penalty is an unreasonable approach, because if a person can arbitrarily deprive others of their lives. Then you find him guilty. Then you use so-called legal means to deprive a person of his life. From the perspective of the result, it is the same as a criminal depriving other people of their lives. The right to survival is the most overriding right among all human rights. Some people might say this is the performance of a holy mother bitch. But let’s not talk about human rights issues first, and just talk about the role of the death penalty in curbing crime. The death penalty has some deterrent effects on petty theft. But in fact, these petty thieves themselves will not commit serious crimes. And for those extremely vicious criminals. You will think that killing one person is death, and killing two people is also death. It doesn't matter. May lead to more serious criminal behavior. As the saying goes, ‘I am willing to kill myself and dare to bring down the emperor.’ So it seems that the death penalty not only cannot curb vicious crimes, but may also aggravate the crimes of criminals.
The death penalty is irreversible, and there is no resurrection after death. This has caused irreparable losses to some unjust, false and wrong cases. Similar to Hugjil, he was beaten into submission and then executed. If there is no death penalty, you may suffer some jail time, but after all, people are still alive, and there is hope while alive. The day when injustice is redressed. Just imagine how many similar cases there are because the parties involved are no longer here. It was shelved. It seems that to a certain extent, Hugjil is lucky. At least history has given him a clean slate.
In fact, there are still death row prisoners who can create value. There was a news story before, about a case of robbing a death row prisoner and avoiding death by applying for an invention patent. This situation is still rare. But whether it is invention, creation, or creating some value through labor, they are all contributing to society. And sometimes, letting a heinous person die like that is actually an advantage for him.
