XxBeatsxX Either everyone or none. If he’d control the justice system we’d be fucked it’d be abused so much but if everyone was as kind, genuine and peaceful as him the world would be underdeveloped but peaceful and happy.
You can tell who are feminine, emotional and weak and who are for justice.
I got so upset when they brought up that that mother who killed her husband for what he did to their daughter should have just had trust in the legal system, do you understand how many people who had trust in the legal system for assault and how many got the bare minimum or nothing?
so, fuck the legal system, right?
There is not a jury in the world who would try her. She got away with it.
She dhould still get death penslty. Thats what you get for taking matters into your own hands
@@rielhsliso8363 I think she should get the death penalty for taking matters into her own hands if the legal system is actually doing their job and is to be trusted in serving justice. So considering how many predators get away with only the bare minimum if anything, her actions Don't deserve the death penalty.
Though I do think she should serve time in jail.
@@youfool444 jn no ⁸
The only argument needed to be against the death penalty: you can free the wrongly accused, but you can’t bring the executed back from the dead.
Yes that’s why they are executed. To put an end to their heinous crimes. I believe our justice system needs work and the death penalty can’t be thrown around. Innocent people of course should not be executed and there needs to be a way to fix that. But I believe the death penalty is reserved for those who have committed horrible acts of terror and who have the complete disregard for human life. Ted Bundy escaped from prison twice and each time he escaped, he raped and murdered more women. That’s why the death penalty exists and that’s why he was executed. People who can’t play by the rules regarding human life must not be allowed to live amongst us
@@kieranmooney3453 and there are many people who have been wrongly executed. I’ll never be ok with killing innocents. Especially when the justice system is so incompetent. There will never be a world where there are no wrongful convictions. But I do understand where you are coming from.
@@fairyonice9504 I’m with you! We need to stop the execution of innocent people. Definitely needs reform. They need to be 100% sure someone did the crime before they toss the death penalty around.

There were really 3 sides to this conversation: Pro-Death Penalty, Anti-Death Penalty with forgivness and Anti-Death Penalty because that one dude would instead rather see them rot in jail with no remorse
I disagree most with the last guy. That's just spending taxpayer money on someone to keep using up the Earth's resources for no reason. I'm anti- death penalty and pro-rehabilitation, but if that's the alternative I'd rather put the guy out of his misery and move on.
@@sebastiano728 The death penalty is more expensive than a life sentence though
@@hananna1825 I might be wrong, but from what I understand, keeping a person in death row is far more expensive per year, but once they're dead they stop being a cost to the state, while the life-imprisoned inmate will continue costing the state their entire life.
@@sebastiano728 usually the court cases that are needed in which to push through a death penalty are really expensive. I think inmate cost per year works out to be quite cheap (in the USA). AmnestyUSA breaks it down well.
@@hananna1825 this is where you live in a bad paradox. Anti-death penalty people argue we would need to know for sure they did it, yet say it would cost too much than to just give them life. We should not throw away an idea just because the system it is under is flawed.

I AM CRYING! omg lol
Yeah that dude getting robbed everyday.
Kendall Johnson and he’s black (no I’m not saying he can’t be like bob ross since he is black I just thought it was funny ) :)
He is the painting
The only reason im anti death penalty is because it sort of feels like they get off the hook in a way. You could either make a horrible person suffer for the rest of their life to pay for their crimes or just end their life quickly
Remember George stinney
You should cut off their hands and legs..
im against it because 4% of people on death row are innocent and its also expensive
In my opinion, the only thing worse than death is torture. Most people deserving of the death penalty are already past the point of remorse, so making them think about their crimes won't do anything. Bottom line for me is, at least they get to live. Their victims don't.
@@savagecabbage138 a) check your statistics and context b) it's not nearly as expensive as keeping them in jail for their entire life
Statistically, increasing the severity of the punishment up to the death penalty has VERY little effect on crime rates. People don't commit crimes with the expectation of getting caught. Pickpocketing used to have a sentence of hanging. And other pickpockets would go to the crowds of people watching someone get hanged for picking pockets, and pick their pockets. Lots of people were gathered in a small area, lots of bumping into each other and everyone was distracted. Easy opportunity to pick pockets. Didn't matter what the punishment was. If you want to reduce crime, you need to convince people that getting caught is LIKELY, not that is carries great sentences.
Then explain Vlad III Tepes’s rule of Wallachia people commit crimes because they don’t fear the consequences
@@gentlemancharmander4411 Explain your poor grammar.
Then explain Saudi Arabia has 0 crime or any first world middle east em nation or Chechnya in Russia
@@gentlemancharmander4411 people commit crimes because they’re criminals, no matter the consequences
@@slayer2608 Saudia Arabia has crime. It's on the low side, but you can't assume that's because of harsh sentencing.
Norway's Crime rate is significantly lower than Saudi Arabia's and capital punishment was abolished decades ago.
Chechnya's crime rate may be lower than elsewhere in Russia but it's crime rate is growing faster than almost anywhere else in Russia. So, again, a better example is needed.

@@nuggetbutter1314 you're*
The death penalty would only work if people who were on death row were 100% guilty. But our world isn’t perfect, and people do get falsely incriminated all the time.
I would say the death penalty should only be for people who confessed to their crime.
StrangaDanga But why would anyone confess if theyre gonna get killed after, I wouldn’t confess
I dont like the thought of death penalty, even if they are guilty.
@@Niiju Oh really? What kind of proof? If you're talking about eye witnesses, it's been proven that people can be mislead and coerced into give false witness testimony. DNA evidence? Cross contamination is a thing. Video? Deep fakes. The truth is you can never really be sure who killed a person unless they confess to it or if they are caught in the act. Nothing in the world is 100 percent reliable and innocent people have been executed before.
That's exactly right!!!
I wonder if Afro guy still has the positive outlook on life four years later.
Look at what happened to sneako… did a whole 360 and became extremely toxic

When the girl said the mother shouldn’t get the death penalty for burning the dude she contradicted her whole position. She’s saying that she doesn’t deserve the death penalty by burning her husband (administered death penalty herself) because of how heinous of a crime he committed. In words, she’s justifying the death penalty.
Mhmm dont think so, i kinda get her, it'll be more ironic if she agreed for the mother to go through death penalty.
If she did agreed, it'd means she also agrees to what the mother did (killing the husband) which she is clearly not. I think what she's saying is that there is a better solution to the problem by giving the mother a less level of sentence, like life sentence, just as the mother should've punished the husband anything rather than murdering him.
Its hard to explain, but she's not justifying the murder of the wife.
Nope. That’s a huge oversimplification f her argument. The difference is whether death is being dealt by the government. People are always going to commit murder. We know that. But that isn’t capital punishment.
that isn;t actually a death penalty though, that's just murder, because death penalty is under the law, while this isn't. I guess that mother can be categorized as a vigilante of sorts.
Did you even listen to her, that isn't what she is saying

i almost cried when bob ross hugged the business dude

Black bob ross
He's the most wholesome human being I think i've ever seen
bonan bray
I looked at that a little different.
Those 2 guys he hugged were the ones that said their mothers shouldnt be exempt of the death penalty. The Afro Dude came at them afterwards saying he was shocked and that was the problem with society. Then at the end, he hugged them both and said "How is your mother?". I personally think the guy was being passive aggressive and was essentially backhanding them in the guise of a hug.
Despite being pro-death penalty, I find the guy with the afro hair inspiring. He was the only one in the opposing team which made me question some things despite initially agreeing with people who are in the same team as my belief
I find the idea of someone like you who supports state-sanctioned execution of unarmed prisoners getting "inspired" by anything to be a sickening prospect.
The issue is not the death penalty, it's the legal system that fails to work.

As a victim of abuse and neglect, let me tell you, people have all sorts of compassion for your abuser but not for you. You have to hurry up and forgive or YOURE a bad person
Afro guy is a textbook example of someone like that
forgiveness isn't mean for them it's for you to not hold those emotions in your heart. feeling hatred or anger for your whole life does nothing but make YOUR life harder, your abuser may not care weather or not you forgiven them
For the worst of violent crimes...screw forgiveness. Criminals show no mercy on their victims, so why should society show them any mercy?
True
Well here’s one thing: sometimes when ur in a extremely traumatic experience “Forgiveness” forces upon in the form of losing ur mental state so ur body can take it, like the China chained lady who was chained to a shed forced to have 8 babies of her kidnapper
"There was a woman who set her husband on fire".

I don't trust him. And to be honest I think he is in denial.
@@blueridgeocean In denial about what exactly?
This one is easilyyy my fav Jubilee debate. Clever, factual and intriguing. Very civilized too.
The thing I can never understand is this: we agree that taking someone’s life is wrong, and should be punished. But the punishment is literally to take that person’s life? That seems so hypocritical and counterproductive. It’s only okay to take a life if they took someone else’s first? I believe all life has inherent value, and yes, it’s terrible that people murder each other. They should be punished. But the way to punish murder is not to continue murdering people.
I mean if they killed people for no reason but enjoyment like Ted Bundy they lost their lives how is it far he gets the gift of staying alive
@@a.j.c3365 In that case the punishment must be something like a life sentence. Thoses people would have to suffer all their life in prison, and to me that is an even worst punishment than a death penalty.
So if someone is arrested for kidnaping then you do not think they should be put in jail? Putting them in jail is essentially legal sanctioned abduction
There's a difference. We agree to the fact that the ability of taking someone's life/the ability to decide punishment should rest ONLY with the upholders of the law ie the courts (with certain exceptions obviously).
People get life sentences already bro.

Wtf with that 4 year old comment? You’re trying to equate the actions of a 4 year old breaking an object to a grown adult murdering/torturing/raping etc.
Immediately looked for this comment - completely agree. Baseless argument for an adult topic
It’s a example for people to express their foundation of morality. Is it better to punish or to bring understanding? Should you do both?
I will say that it’s a bad example in a wildly different context, but it opens up a discussion in morality and it’s intrinsic lack of actual tangibility outside of our human perception. What she did, however, was kinda like bringing up a simple addition problem in a discussion about theoretical mathematics. Idk 🤷♀️
That wasn’t the logic. It was more an argument for how the punishment is dealt with. Not too hard to understand.
@@AFestiveDude exactly, they way she put it was a sort of tactic to get you to acknowledge the theoretical 1% to justify the 99%
@@rainmaker3000 Yeah she should really stick to talking about topics in her own mental age range lmao
I think what I’m learning the most from middle ground is that Soooo many people are on the same side as one another but half of those people can’t think beyond the first step so it makes them believe that is as far as it goes…
I loved this middle ground discussion. There was no power dynamics, everyone got the chance to speak about their views and even though, they might've not agreed with the other side, they respected their opinions. I watched this one after the rich vs poor and men's rights activists one, and what an absolute joy it was to watch these people argue in a civilised manner unlike the above mentioned videos
1.) Private school vs. public school (teachers, parents, or a mix on both sides)
2.) Homeschool vs. public school
(“alumni” or teachers)
3.) Religion vs. LGBT+ (a mix of religions)
Religion vs. LGBT+ is already out but only with Christians. Not sure if this is why you added the ( ) part :P
i second the homeschool vs public school.
stevestizzy they have Muslims and LGTBQ too
I feel like religious people and lgbt people aren’t always on “opposing ends” of the spectrum, so I’m not sure how they could make a video in this format about that
I would love to see homeschool parents and public school teachers talk.
girl: that woman was doing some global justice for burning her husband
also girl: I'm anti-death penalty
Honestly, that situation is amazing, because it exposes hypocritical thinking on either side. Just suppose that a guy killed a victim, and then the girl killed the guy. Should the girl be killed?
PRO DEATH PENALTY: The woman should be killed, but this suggests that the guy shouldn't have been killed which is inconsistent with these ideals.
ANTI-DEATH PENALTY: The woman shouldn't be killed, but then this suggests that the guy should have been killed which is inconsistent with these ideals.
My thoughts on this are shaky and not as concrete as they should be (as this is a new concept for me), but I just needed to write this down to help me think about it a bit more.
@Willy Wonka well, it’s only hypocritical thinking if you assume that the reasoning for wanting the death penalty or not is based solely on the moral stance one takes on the woman’s actions.
So, for example, the pro-death penalty one. You say it exposes hypocrisy on the pro-death penalty side if they want the woman to be executed because it suggests that what the woman did (killing her husband) was wrong, which is hypocritical since they believe in the government killing people who commit crimes. But, someone who is pro death penalty might tell you that they don’t necessarily believe that the outcome of the husband dying is wrong, and on a personal level they might even agree that it was global justice. But they would say that it’s wrong and bad for society that the _wife_ is the one that killed him and broke the law in doing so. They’re argument would be on a legal basis, centering around deterrence, and not on whether they personally support what she did on an emotional level.
@@kk8490 Thank you for your response as it helps me when thinking about this topic. However, basing a decision solely on legality is basing the decision on what someone else has decided because what is legal has been decided by someone else. Therefore, the person who made the laws the way they are was basing it off of what they think morally and therefore is hypocritical.
@Willy Wonka true, it is basically kicking the ball down the road, but I suppose most things are like that. The government punished people who kidnap people by kidnapping them and throwing them in a jail cell, stealing is wrong but the state can and does forcibly take money from you come tax season. A lot of government action can come across as hypocritical, but they can do things citizens can’t because as a society we vest power to our governments and allow them to have a monopoly on these actions. I think that’s called the social contract but I’m not 100% sure. A pro death penalty person would just argue to extend it to include state sanctioned execution.
But I agree it’s a weak argument, and I find most pro death penalty arguments unpersuasive. I’m really glad I live in a country that doesn’t have it lol.
But that is a difference when it is outside the Justice system
It is so interesting to talk about the concept of forgiveness. I have talked to someone who has experienced horrific traumatic things during WWII (Jewish). They have told me, that in order to live a happy, complete life, they at some point had to "get rid of the anger and forgive". It was not about the people commiting the crime, but about selflove and "moving on", retaking the power over your own life and not be a "slave" to someone elses choices. I have no idea how I would deal with such trauma, but it was so very inspiring.
I've dealing with the same thing. I had so much hate towards a person , but after a point I want to move on. The problem was that I was feeling, that by forgiven him, it was like a favor towards him. Until I uderstand that forgiveness is something you do for yourself in order to move on and not be stuck in the past and all the bad felling that came with the past. When I try to explain this to other people they don't get it at all, so I am happy there are out there people that uderstand this concept of forgiveness. (sorry for bad English)
That is a fallacy I have not always forgiven people for harm they might have done to me and yet I live a perfectly happy life.
Forgiving is very difficult and is not always something you're able to do but actively hating someone (or being afraid of someone that's still out there) is exhausting.
So, if forgiveness means to stop actively making hating-them a part of your day, then yes.
I'll be honest. You do not have to forgive a person who has wronged you. You can forget what they did, become indifferent towards them but you definitely do not have to forgive them.
"We have to go above the justice system " is so valid and sooooo true

exactly
He was immature and made a mistake.
@@altaccount9716 do you know the definition of mistake? Do you know the difference between crime and mistake?
I'm surprised not one of the anti-capital punishment people mentioned the issue of giving the state that much power
I'm not, because that argument is essentially meaningless; the idea that citizens "give the state power" is nothing but a self-comforting illusion; the basic fact is that whatever organized body wields the military might to hold the final veto on policy making and to ultimately enforce its dictates is, by definition, 'The State'; if you don't have such a body, you have anarchy (not a state) and if you do have one, then that body has as much power (at least with respect to the treatment of its citizens) as its operatives choose to apply, regardless of how the populace feels about it; even if you could organize a popular revolt to overthrow the current state (which likely wouldn't even be possible as long as the military still follows orders), the armed revolutionary guard would simply become a successor state, and would be similarly unanswerable until a superior military came to supplant them.

No, the girl is California if California was a person. She was so irritating and crazed from the beginning. The guy is more of a Washington if the state was a person.

I absolutely love the guy with the fro! I am really grateful for this as I am writing an argument essay on the death penalty!
I read Stanley "Tookie" Williams book in 6th grade. I felt so bad when I found out he had been put to death. Maybe he deserved prison, and for due time, but I agree, he was truly remorseful for the things he had done and was destined to be remembered for.
A criminal should be punished in the most hardcore way if they hurt innocent people
I'm glad that story reached you.🙏🏿😌🙏🏿
I would be for the death penalty if there was a definite way to prove people on death row as guilty. A study came out that showed 4% of them were innocent, that’s overwhelming to me.
That study includes people that were convicted decades ago. Show me the study of people that were convicted recently. You know. Now that we have DNA evidence. That’s the only reason we even know about that 4%. Which means it’s nowhere near 4% today. Now, it takes a lot to be put to death. And we already have like 20 years worth of appeals before they die.
Yep in retrospect that’s way too high.
Only one problem with the study... how tf do you calculate that? Detectives are detectives for a reason. I doubt a random scientist could do detective work better. There are some cases where it's clear that the wrong person was executed but that's a small number. The other 95%+ is unknown
@@anonymousperson3023 What a smart idea. Im sure the researchers didnt know about that. im guessing you think the person who did the research pulled the numbers out of their ass, huh?
I looked it up and only 18 people have died. And that’s mostly due to them outliving the waiting line for death row
I'm only at the beginning but that girl is like really passive aggressive
Shes just agressive lmao
She looks cray cray
kawaii potato she is so unreasonable
Passionate
Haha her saying how the woman who killed her husband was justified.. made me want to get the death penalty done do myself.
I love watching these and putting myself in these situations whether I'm for or against becuase these questions let me find out the kind of person that I am also.
Same
I totally agree! It really makes you introspective about your views while actively listening to people’s differing views.
Hey Jubilee, have you thought about bringing one or more people to the show, who aren't sure where they stand on a subject to see if the polarizing views help them make a decision? And then maybe interviewing them, afterwards? Just a thought.
Even tho I don’t totally agree with the hippie guy, I would LOVE to be his friend. He’s so optimistic and full of life, his faith in humanity gives me faith in humanity.
Anonymous Moose I know he is just the personification of joy
Me too!
Hes actually a friend of mine Sean, and he is one of the sweetest people.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Even if I don’t agree I really just adore his outlook, it’s so kind. You don’t see many people like that in the world.
@@KimiRhavenrose oh god. Please tell him that he is so genuine and that I would LOVE to have a discussion with him. He is so optimistic!
Question: everyone deserves a second chance.
Guy: *walks into circle* well I don’t believe everyone deserves a second chance
@Chirag Patel I dont know about that, you can really mean that everyone deserves a second chance. That means something drastically different philosophically from some people deserve a second chance and nobody deserves a second chance.
Later on a statement said "Anyone can forgive anyone given enough time" so the same guy came up and when he was asked if he could forgive someone who murdered his mother he said "no".
Fr he needs to go back
what do you think about kira and his judgement
L, You should just lock Light up. If you want Moral High Ground against Light/Kira.
The issue is the system equates time to rehabilitation rather than developing and helping someone direct and control their mental health. The longer you are in the system you are stuck in the system, many people get released and are stuck in a loop of being controlled and directed, that loop changes you and forces you to feel as if you can not function without the system
The afro guy is so sweet, but he clearly hasn't really witnessed the kind of cruelty and evil that exist in this world.
I really disagree. I understand what you guys are saying but there is a lot of people who grew up in nightmares and they still have the heart to forgive. Me personally I grew up in a bad place and some people did terrible stuff to me. In the moment yeah I hated them and grew with anger. But I realised that life is too short to be pissed off all the time
It's actually exactly the opposite. Americans haven't experienced a properly functioning justice system, which is why they think dreaming of one is delusional.
@@christophergonzalez3020Was that an American History X quote at the end there? If so, you're wonderful.
How do you make judgements like that witbout knowing someoens story...? Respectfully asking, since it seems youre implying the only people with positive views on life means they never witnessed anything cruel...? Genuinely asking if you know any people directly who are "positive people" who have been through cruel experiences...?
"Everyone deserves a second chance."
Dude who agrees:
"Personally, I don't think everyone deserves a second chance."
lmao
the same with the question of whether everyone could forgive anything with time
Their victims certainly didn't get a second chance
Lmao he just wanted an argument.
my man straight was like "I agree but I disagree but I agree"
Step forward if you believe everyone should have a second chance.
Guy in suit: (Steps forward) I don’t believe everyone should have a second chance.

Gardenia Edith I was like 🤷🏼♂️
He meant it in a different light just like people on spectrum.
@@Daisy-ge1ig But he didn't agree with the statement, and stepped in anyway. "Anyone" does not mean "some people".
@@AceOfWaffles He explained it though. Like I said if you watched this channels Spectrum segment specifically "do all muslims think the same" you'd understand.
guy with the fro, Thumbs up bro. wholeheartedly agree with you on every point.
The logic of the death penalty is astounding to me. We have discussed it many times in my European history class and I used to have the same viewpoint of the pro death penalty side. But then I began to look at the hypocrisy of killing someone who killed someone. Who are we to decide who lives or dies? If we are trying to deter death and crime then we should not commit another crime. That is only a cycle and it’s never been effective and it will never be.
exactly what I was thinking
Everyone has pretty opinions, untill their loved ones are at stake.
YES
Ahahah criminal lawyer
locking people up in a room is also a crime.
I loved it when the Afro dude was like “how is your mom?” Just such a bright soul man
Zian Saakaar He doesn’t even know these people it’s all about pandering it’s not genuine it all comes from a place of ego and self proclaiming that as a facade. I’m sorry but that’s not how genuine kindness works
holayomellamoyoly genuine kindness works in a lot of ways..... I dunno it jus seems like a nice thing to ask about a person’s mom after having a really heavy discussion about a mother getting the death penalty.
Dekka Bacara agreed, but I’m in no place to call it a facade so I’ll take his word for it that he’s genuinely kind
idk it seems like a joke to me
holayomellamoyoly dude there is no such thing as one kindness, there are many types of kindness
She was probably the 4 year old that smashed that vase on the ground
I didnt get that example tho... Did the other guys rly propose the death penalty for that kid for smashing a vase?
@@mortuc1 No she was asking if that kid deserved a punishment, not the death penalty
But she was basically asking whether they would spank the kid or talk to the kid (not literally)
Paradox It should be both. They should understand there are consequences for actions and they need to be explained why.
@@Coldfront15 You do realize that in context the example means whether to give someone the death penalty or not right? I agree but in this situation you can't have both
she's the anti-vaxx "Karen" mom who let's her hooligan children do what they want and never punishes them cus its everyone elses fault for not accepting her child's behavior

I think the afro guy will forgive me if torture him for 100 days straight ( but i will never)
HAHAHA
He would probably say "It's all good man, you were just doing your job.
Will you forgive yourself?
I do
@@NomadUrpagi He did what he told himself to do so why does he have to forgive himself if he did something which is good according to him (if it were bad according to him, he wouldn't've done that).
This one of the best videos from you
I appreciate how all these participants let each other speak without interrupting, and without getting heated. Loved the Afro guy and the woman the best. They were the most articulate. ( And I agree with them) I’m thinking they must be human rights lawyers. Thank you! PS the death penalty does not deter crime.
Afro haired guy is a person that's fallen into fully empathetic mindset, and it's not always good to have that.
It's also not always good to have an emotionally charged revenge driven mindset
@@Tomb-Wraith Your reply is quite unrelated to my comment, because I do not have a side in this middle ground topic. And you're replying to me as if I'm supporting the Death Penalty side(?) but whatever, you have freedom of speech anyways.
@@rzqy I replied to you because I was offering both sides. You seemed to believe Sean had a potentially bad mindset. I simply said that could be interpreted for both sides.
He’s an empath. Empaths are a rare breed
Being an empath is useful if you can moderate or adjust your level of empathy. If your always 100% empathetic to everyone, then it's not necessarily a good thing.
Dude in the Afro don’t lose ur smile don’t let this world make u lose it stay positive hopefully u see this
His mentalety is a great thing to have and if everyone would be like that, the world would be all sunshine and rainbows. But unfortunately that's not the case, people do horrible things and honestly i think he is just too soft. My opinion is an eye for an eye and not everyone deserves a second change.
@@rens3286 An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. If someone does something it's just going to cause a chain reaction of someone else going to go get back at that person. I don't disagree with the death penalty personally, but we really should put more consideration into the circumstances of what happened and why it happened. Some people are just cold blooded killers, some people however commit a murder once (I say murder because it's still a murder no matter the circumstances), and would never do it again. Say for instance the woman that set the man on fire for what happened to her daughter. I don't think she should get the death penalty. Life in prison? Maybe. Life in prison with a CHANCE to eventually go free on a supervised parole? Absolutely. I also think however she should have gone to the cops and that the guy deserved to go through the due process of the law. I feel like he should have got the death penalty, but that's up to the courts. Two wrongs don't make a right but my whole point in stating this is there are most of the time circumstances where bad stuff happens to family or children and during a fit of rage someone acts out. I think the death penalty should be a last ditch effort or saved for the most heinous crimes. I'm a bigger fan of life in prison for most of the people. But someone that say murders an entire family in my opinion does deserve the death penalty.
Oh yea Yea Someone told me that once too,unfortunately it’s easier said than done.
Official Barack Hussein Obama II his argument is not derived from a delusional stand point of everyone being a good person, but more so the rehabilitation for criminals and opportunities. There’s a very thin line between punishment and rehabilitation in this country. The Probations and parole systems are terrible considering the fact that most of them don’t care about you. Most parole officers see between 100-150 people a week! Imagine that and on top of that, paper work for each person in a 40 hour week schedule...It’s a very interesting way in how
The system operates. Statistically speaking most people that go to jail are very likely to just end up right back in because of the lack of resource and crappy rehab system. I love that guy’s optimism, and don’t confuse optimism with delusion, a lot of people have that huge misconception :)
This is why people get away with the things they do lol because people exist just like the guy with the afro
There is no evidence that the death penalty is a deterrent.
And there’s no evidence putting people in jail deters crime. Yet we do it as a form of punishment not a deterrence same way we use the death penalty for the heinous of crime. Deterrence is the job of law enforcement.
@@hakeemfrancis1099 Death penalty is primitive and ignorant. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
@@Jojo-vo4cuYou can make the same argument for life in prison and prison in general
I cannot believe that only one person agreed to the fact that if people truly apologize their punishment should be reduced! I cannot believe it. Thaa..as he said. Over and over again. Thumbs up for the afro hair dude! I so wish that more of us would find that light in themselves :)
Afro dude has a good heart but seems naive. He's the type of guy that could easily get taken advantage of if you just seem nice enough.

Dude with the fro came in off the rip making me laugh 😅🤣 I didn't think I would enjoy this one but I really did!!!
the anti death penalty girl speaks eloquently and with passion but her points are ABSURD
Really? I thought the opposite. I thought she was a bit overpassionate and hot headed, but her points were bang on.
She seems like 100% smug concentrate.
Banana fish she stated a story with a woman who killed a man that raped her daughter and other horrible things. She then acts surprised when they say she deserves the death penalty. She lit the man on fire and if she had not killed him she could have gotten justice without her killing him.
Abby Ollila she is so good at reverse psychology
I actually think her arguments were pretty good. The mother who killed her partner for raping her daughter was a valid example tbh
A four year old that breaks a vase needs to be disciplined, but it is in no way comparable to someone in their right mind who is knowingly murdering another human.
Alexa Cannon thank you that made me so mad like yes there and may not that it’s wrong but like punishing them is how they learn
thank you,
lol I didn't understand her reasoning
I agree
Alexa Cannon But like she was saying, she was comparing that four year old to that person and pointing out a similarity. That similarity was that they both cannot understand and don’t have all of the information. I’m not saying that I agree with her, but I do understand what she is trying to say.
Thank you for posting this video! I find this topic very interesting personally I can't decide if I'm pro or anti.

The whole 4 year old breaking a vase scenario is a horrible logical fallacy and a grossly disproportionate comparison to people who’ve murdered and raped people. It just seems out of place and not worth arguing over in this particular debate.
Of course it's disproportionate but, the principle is still the same. Punish vs rehabilitate.
@@hannahforse316 except certain situations call for rehabilitations, and certain ones call for punishment.
@@croonie17 hmm, I disagree. Criminals are quite obviously mentally ill. Making an effort to rehabilitate them benefits us and them.
@@hannahforse316 how?
@@petenisman5470 it benefits us as they are less likely to reoffend and it benefits them as rehabilitation will help to relieve some of their trauma.
I absolutely love this episode 🤍💯
There have been 192 death row exonerations in the US since 1973. But that isn't close to the total number of innocent people. Once you're in prison you have no resources. Most innocent people will never get exonerated. And that number doesn't count people who have been exonerated from life sentences or other sentences. There are lots of innocent people in prison
