Do you get the death penalty for killing three or more people?

(in the US) There is no 'automatic' death penalty if you kill a certain number of people. As a matter of fact not all US states even have the death penalty anymore. Every case is tried on its own merits, and the verdicts meted out accordingly.

How does the death penalty save lives?

The death penalty is a punishment for people who have committed the most hanus of crimes. They are incarcerated and kept on death row until their execution date. This saves lives because often people who get the death penalty are murderes and if hey didn't get executed they would probably get out of jail and kill more people.


Why do people kill people who kill people to prove that killing people is wrong?

I do not think this is a quote actually spoken by someone, but I do know that it is anti-death penalty slogan commonly used on bumper stickers and the like. The proper saying is: "We kill people that kill people to show that killing people is wrong." It puts into perspective the strange reasoning behind the death penalty.

Should there be a resumption of the death penalty?

No. If a Government can demonstrate a reason for killing people some of whom turn out to be innocent. Then this sort of leadership will serve as an example to people that need an excuse to kill people. Death is not a penalty. People that kill people illegally do not intend to get caught, so threatening them with death is meaningless. Countries that legally kill people have a higher murder rate so where is the sense in it. This is a political question designed to entice people with hate in their hearts to vote for politicians that don't care about the safety of their constituents.
