There are many reasons for my stance. First, the hippocracy of teaching people not to kill by killing them. I have also made some observations on the string that are similar to those of 'hot topless men.'
Firstly, I have noticed a few different people using actual states as an example of the function of the death penalty. THIS IS NOT A VALID ARGUMENT. States, actually, do not have solid borders between each other. In case you haven't noticed, many people who live in a state, were not actually originally from there. Add the fact that criminals are constantly on the run and your little argument is reduced to nill. Also, this is not a good example because many of these states do not have to death penalty, but do not put enough money into rehabilitating their prisoners.
Second, somone said 'people who cannot be rehabilitated sit in jail while being paid for by the taxpayers.' People who cannot be rehabilitated have a title: CRIMINALLY INSANE. If you took the time to realize that more money to prisons would help realize that these people were, in fact, insane, they would be sent to a mental hospital where their own FAMILY, would decide their fate.
Third, (real life example,) isn't not only on the 'Constitution of the United States', and the "United States Bill of Rights,' but also in the 'UN Bill of Rights' that every person has a right to live. And wouldn't killing them, for whatever "justified reason" (note the saracasm,) infringe on that?
Fourth and Final, I don't think that people have taken into account that all too often that convictions that lead to executions are WRONG. The mistake of sending an innocent person to death is IRREVOCABLE. If you read the books about death penalty innocence by Peter Nuefeld it will horrify you the estimated wrongful exectutions of people in the United States ALONE.
VOTE YES FOR THIS RESOLUTION
