The death penalty has always been a very difficult thing to understand. A person commits a crime and kills a person, and then our state organs deprive this person of his life because of this. Does the state organ commit a crime because of the killing of this person? The state agency is an abstract collection of groups, what he does can be exempted from people's accusation, on the contrary, it is considered by many people to be righteous, evil people get the punishment they deserve, and they are despised by everyone for what they have done. It is an act of justice to receive the most severe punishment for the crime.
But I still agree with what Matthew on death row said at the end: No matter who it is, it is wrong to kill, whether it is me, you, or the government.
For a long time, our country has reached a level of indifference to human life. During the Cultural Revolution, there were countless casualties. Those caught with a little 'pigtail' would be shot at random after sentencing. After the reform and opening up, the so-called underworld forces have risen, and the government has adopted an almost brutal "strike hard". Anyone who commits a crime and violates the law will be sentenced according to the law with the heaviest sentence, not to mention whether this so-called measure interferes For the sake of justice, from the perspective of death row prisoners, too many bullets were used, and too many less sinful people were killed by sin.
I have always thought that the existence of the death penalty is a satire on the so-called civilized society.
There are many such instances. Old parents have been unable to get news of their children who are working abroad for a long time. It was not until one day that the court sent someone to collect the bullet money to know that the child had lost his life because of a crime.
Of course, those days are passing away, and the use of the death penalty in China is becoming more and more cautious. Because of the need to crack down, there were too many people who needed to be sentenced to death at that time, so the power to review the death penalty was devolved for 26 years, and it was not taken back by the Supreme Court until January 1, 2007. This is also the progress of human rights.
I even heard some "jokes" saying that the death penalty cannot be abolished, at least not in China, because it has laid a solid foundation for controlling China's population growth.
Having said that, regarding population issues, I still feel that family planning is unwise and should be considered again. . .
