Having capital punishment necessarily implies entrusting the power of life and death to a group that many generally consider among the most untrustworthy people there are. I'd oppose the death penalty on moral grounds anyway, but far more pressing to me is the big practical problem: the people who'd have the power are the same bastards who have spied on homeowners and dog walkers using laws they said would only be used for terrorism and organised crime, the same bastards who have tried people without a jury and want to lock people up without a fucking trial at all. With that in mind would you really want the death penalty brought back even "only for" for scum like Tozer? Could you really be sure it would stay only for scum like Tozer? <br />The moral arguments against the death penalty can go hang (see what I did there ;-) ) - I'd be fucking afraid to live in a Britain with capital punishment.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-89638552071520777542009-09-16T16:58:16.488+01:002009-09-16T16:58:16.488+01:00Laban has some further details on his blog.
