There should be the death penalty for Karl Clifford and those like him

There is no doubt he did it. No case of mistaken identity. He’s taken 3 lives. He should be executed.

It doesn't work logically. You can't kill, but you did, therefore we're going to kill you?

No. Does not compute.

Redshoeblueshoe · 10/07/2024 18:54

Well it looks like he has already unsuccessfully tried to kill himself.
But I don't agree with the death penalty

Just stop.
It achieves nothing in a civilised society. It achieves nothing in 'uncivilised' societies. It is not the deterrent you guillotine-knitters think it is, otherwise, America would have no murders.
He will be punished. In a civilised way.
Baying for the death penalty is ridiculous

Only if you think killing someone is ok because you think they've done something terrible.

Exactly as he thought.

BowlOfNoodles · 10/07/2024 18:57

Conflicted the amount of money 💰 it costs to keep people like rose west yet people are being vilified for claiming disability left right and centre. My issue with the death penalty is the amount of cases in America where it's turned out they've put innocent people to death.

I 100% agree with this!! I think if there is 110% concrete proof that someone has murdered someone in cold blood they should be executed they shouldn't be given the chance to go into a prison. I think the same to should be done to Peadophile's, rapists and people who abuse children by beating and mentally and emotionally abusing them should be sterilised!!!

Champagnesocialismo · 10/07/2024 18:59

He’s going to die in prison. Best thing we could do is just forget him, and remember these women.

Poachedeggavocado · 10/07/2024 19:01

I will never support state sponsored murder aka a death penalty. I hope he's either killed himself or if caught, convicted and sentenced to a real life sentence.

Whilst horrified at the deaths of Carol, Louise and Hannah I wouldn't want to live in a society that murders anyone.

I am in my 50s and a little horrified by the rise in this incel misogynistic culture. I did have hope that we were moving to a more equal society but it seems to be getting more aggressive.

Sondheimisademigod · 10/07/2024 19:02

Sadly, @HermioneWeasley you've demonstrated exactly why your baying for blood mentality is so feckin stupid; you got the name of the alleged murderer wrong. So poor karl clifford would be hung, drawn and quartered by you and your animalitic comrades, but the real perpetrator would be walking free.
Be careful, OP, hermoineweasley may be a crim

ColinMyWifeBridgerton · 10/07/2024 19:04

I'm against the death penalty so disagree. He should get life imprisonment.

SallyWD · 10/07/2024 19:04

The state can't say that killing is wrong and then punish it with more killing. It just doesn't make sense.
He should spend the rest of his life rotting in jail.

GrazingSheep · 10/07/2024 19:04

The op can’t even get his name right🙄

PersonallyVictimizedByReginaGeorge · 10/07/2024 19:05

I don't think that's the answer. Women need a police force who will take action before it's too late. Cautions and barring orders and safety orders and tagged ankles that emit pain as well as a bleep if subjects get close to their X.

Not leaving a woman ALONE is the stage at which protection and deterrents need to be improved 100 fold

If you're going to get irate, do it properly; paedophile does not require an uppercase P, and you should use spellcheck.
I think people who don't do irate perfectly should be sent to prison for life. It's a crime

Happy to execute or sterilise a huge chunk of the population then are you? Are you familiar with the Nazi regime?

Moonshiners · 10/07/2024 19:06

This is interesting a family of mine was raped and murdered abroad. The perpetrator was caught and hanged. 100 % him.
Her daughter says the hanging absolutely did not help and made the whole event far worse. She has nightmares for years about the hanging and strongly disagrees with corporal punishment. Two wrongs dont make a right. So there is no chance for them to feel remorse or understand the consequences of their terrible actions.

Allthehorsesintheworld · 10/07/2024 19:06

Yes. Because he can never be released.
why should he have everything provided albeit in prison when he has ended the lives of three people ? It will cost millions over his lifetime to keep him in prison.
I’d not be bothered if he was put down. My previous dog didn’t suffer when he was put to sleep, it was peaceful which is more than this man deserves but at least it gets rid of him.

Bathbombin · 10/07/2024 19:07

The reintroduction of the death penalty would be barbaric. It would diminish us on the world stage. It is morally wrong to take a person’s life in any circumstances - and hypocritical to kill someone as punishment for killing someone. Execution is not an effective deterrent anyway and miscarriages of justice are always a possibility; there is no way to reverse death if new evidence emerges is there? Weirdly, the death penalty often works out more expensive than a life sentence, so there’s no cost benefit, and multiple murderers etc would probably prefer death to a life behind bars (remember Fred West?) so it is not as if they are being let off lightly.

It would also cost millions of pounds to execute him, if due process is exercised from start to finish.

Add people who don't know how to use apostrophes, and I'd be tempted to get on board.

Sorry didn’t realise there was people here who have to comment on spelling and grammar mistakes 🙄

not that I should have to explain clearly my phone auto corrected this and I didn’t notice.

I think people soo critical and judgemental such as yourself should just keep their opinions to themselves before starting on another user commenting on a thread? But here we are?

anotherside · 10/07/2024 19:09

Trouble is, a short while after it’s introduced for “the absolute 110% guilty worst criminals”, people then start pushing for it to be more widely applied (ie, to less clear cut cases). End result, the state starts executing innocent people.
