Death penalty ?? =O

"THE DEATH PENALTY IS THE ULTIMATE IRREVERSIBLE DENIAL OF HUMAN RIGHTS"


The US Supreme Court held that the death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment in violation the US constitution. The supreme Court in Rope v, Simmons prohibits  the execution of people who committed crimes when they were under the age of 18.


THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 1200 EXECUTIONS IN THE US SINCE 1976.
For this reason the European Union criticize  the death penalty. 


"In 2003, Amnesty International reported those who kill whites are more likely to be executed than those who kill blacks, citing of the 845 people executed since 1977, 80 percent were put to death for killing whites and 13 percent were executed for killing blacks, even though blacks and whites are murdered in almost equal numbers" 

What do you think about death penalty ? do you agree ?
