capital punishment
Weigh the pros, cons and controversies surrounding the grave issue of capital punishment; should the death penalty be allowed?
Capital Punishment
Capital punishment, often known by the death penalty is the state sanctioned practice of killing someone as punishment of a crime. Most countries, including all the first world nations, have abolished capital punishment, exceptions to this are the United States, China and most Islamic states. The United States is the only Western country to still have use of the death penalty, this western country allows execution through the form of lethal injection, this method involves injecting the person with 3 drugs, all of which sedates, paralyses and stops the heart of the individual. Under the Human Rights this is classed as torture and inhumane treatment, which I whole heartedly believe that everyone should have their human rights protected no matter what they have done.

The eyes of a killer
According to Shakespeare, “Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” Today, those infamous words still apply. The world is full of evil monsters. If you don’t believe me, then pick up a newspaper or do a Google search and you will find it all over the planet. Since the dawn of time, people have committed heinous acts against one another for the sake of greed, lust and many other reasons. Most people, however, will spend their entire life without knowing anyone on death row.

Reason First: Is This a Case of a ‘Privileged’ Black Male?
The reality of the package deal is apparent. What the package deal means is that some truth may provide a veneer but lies get smuggled into the idea that damn whatever’s true. What’s valid about white privilege is the fact that bigotry and racism are involved in it. The lie(s) include the idea that color of skin and hair texture determine character and that every white person is evil. Let’s consider Charles Brooks, Jr, who actually led a vicious existence.
