Hollywood's flailing with the death penalty - something Canada needs (and apparently wants too)
Capital punishment is probably the earliest form of “punishment” created by Man. Since jails weren’t exactly built in the caveman age, it was probably a lot easier to just murder the guy who raped your wife rather than charge him with adultery. As time progresses, the “death penalty” was being used less and less often, and for less and less reasons. The intent of the death penalty originally started off as “revenge” but transgressed into “determent” and “getting equal with the state”. By the 20th century, the death penalty was almost solely used for murder or military crimes. But just because the pattern has been reducing capital punishment’s usage in society, that does
NOT mean we should completely discard capital punishment as a legitimate means of punishment for society’s lowest scum.
In Canada this is especially troubling. There are many horror stories going around about Canada’s justice system. A system in which armed burglars are able to
sue the person they robbed – for shooting them back. Read that sentence over a couple more times and soak it in. Gun owners can’t shoot armed robbers who invade their homes with the intent of stealing their money and property and possibly raping the inhabitants inside? The list goes on and on. Another homeowner in Hamilton was charged for beating up a young lad who snuck into the house to steal alcohol. And it wasn’t too long ago I read in the papers that a burglar sued a homeowner…..because he got stuck in their chimney while trying to escape. Ahh yes, the brilliance of our justice system. Apparently it’s our fault that bad things happen to people who trespass on private property with the intent of breaking and entering. You know, I think I’ll build a stone path on my property that leads into a nice opened window. From there, the criminals can find all of my money wait...
