AIBU to be concerned over the increasing number of stabbings - especially the recent ones that look to be at random people?

I really think the government needs to bring the death penalty back as people just don’t seem to be worried about going to jail anymore (and with the death penalty not make it as painfree as possible. Why should they not have to suffer when their life is being ended when their victims would have been in immense pain). They painfully kill someone, go to jail, then come out a few years later to carry on with their lives. 😡😡

Tory government has massively cut police budgets. There's your problem right there. But of course, people will still vote the Tories in again and then wring hands over 'gang culture' and increased murder rates.

Gang members do not have to stab a random in order to join a gang.
However junior members are quite willing to attack rival gangs in an act of bravado or to gain favour within the gang.

Load of bleeding hearts .
TAKE a life you should have yours forfeited . Too many so called Do Gooders on here .

I agree with you OP.

“As for the painful death, OP, you need to get yourself over to Saudi Arabia if you want to satisfy your ghoulish and repugnant desires.”

Not a ghoulish and repugnant desire at all!!!

Why would you think that it’s fair for the victim to suffer a painful death and the person that did it to them to possiblly have an injection that makes them fall asleep and leave the world without suffering any pain at all.

How do you reconcile finding the ending of one life repugnant and another wholly justified? It’s a contradiction surely? You’re not even advocating to recreate the same level of fear and suffering so it’s literally a spite killing.

There’s also the consideration of the people you would have to employ to carry out executions. The kind of person who would gladly carry them out is probably not someone who should be in charge of the task.

This is an interesting article by a former death row executioner who now argues against the death sentence www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/21/death-penalty-former-executioner-jerry-givens
