If the JUST penalty for murdering one person is death

[seemslikeadream]

What is the JUST penalty for being responsible for the killing of thousands?

1. It's like the 70 virgins, only instead of 70 virgins you get one Barbara Bush

the old nasty one, of course

2. I'm watching you DS1

4. LOL!

[atreides1]

3. It should be the same

But the person responsible should not hang himself, he should be accompanied to the scaffold by those who carried out his orders. He should be the last one to hang, so that he can watch as his accomplices dance a jig in the air and he gets to see what's awaiting him!

5. I Don't Accept the Original Premise

Send the war criminals to the Hague.
The International Criminal Court won't execute them, but it will lock them up,
and they won't be pardoned or let out on parole.

7. "Just" to be clear I don't believe in the death penalty

You'd need something like this:

8. The answer, if possible, will be revealing. For the past eight years, its been perplexing to hear

from the Law&Order folks when the 'rule of law' is directed against one person for one infraction. But, there is silence when violations of human rights and civil rights plays out before us daily and on a world-wide scale.

9. Well, I'm against the death penalty for anyone but life in prison should

be the sentence for murder with no chance of parole. Sometimes judges apply a death penalty for each murder, so if there is a chance that person could get paroled or released for one murder, he would have to start serving a sentence for the next murder and so on. If the person happens to be wealthy, especially if he gained that wealth through criminal and dishonest means, he should be stripped of all his assets to be distributed to his victims and to the state to defray the cost of his incarceration.

10. A bungled hanging?

[seemslikeadream]

16. or maybe making the murderer walk the last mile one thousand times?

Never knowing which time the reprieve will or will not come

11. Death is not the JUST penalty for murdering anyone...nt

13. Do you think that Capital Punishment is just?

But to answer your question death is generally considered the worst punishment society can inflict.

15. The death of one person is a tragedy, but the death of millions is just a statistic

Joe Stalin

Applies specifically to murder as well
