Capital Punishment? A Capital Idea!

I strongly agree with Capital punishment, in fact, it’s the best idea I’ve heard in a long time. Those who commit inexplicable crimes or irreparable damage, such as mass murders, should ultimately be put to death as a result of their heinous crimes. Why kill them? Because, my friends, they deserve it. If they are to abuse the right to live, they should lose the right to live. Once they have encroached on another’s rights and take the lives of innocent people, these criminals should be tried in court, and then sentenced to death. A perfect example of the effectiveness of Capital punishment would be that of Saudi Arabia and other Asian countries where Capital Punishment is used as a deterrent for crime, and guess what? It works. Here’s an example—if you were to cut a hand off of every thief, I assure you the rate of theft in that given area would drop dramatically. Now, I’m not saying we should do that here, that’s just an example of how punishment can deter crime. And, of course, many of you will read this and shake your fists at me stating statistics and blasphemous garbage about the “Brutalization effect.” Sadly I have never heard such a disappointing theory in my lifetime, besides that of the Big Bang. The “Brutalization effect” perverts statistics to correlate the rate of Capital punishment use to the crime rate of the American state capital punishment is being used. According to this effect, the more we put people to death, the more people want to go and commit crime. The first time I heard this I laughed at what I thought was a well planned joke. To make such a correlation is to openly display your desperation for a good argument and your gluttony for humiliation.
I’d like to allude to a historical philosopher if I may. He’s not that influential I guess, I mean, his ideas are only the basis of the very foundation of our constitution. John Locke, the most influential mind to reach America since colonial times once stated that we give the control the amount of power given to our government, and if they should abuse it, we have the right to overthrow that government and start anew. This idea alone leaves many of those fighting against capital punishment without words, as it very well should be.
Of course, there are some parameters that need to be set in order for capital punishment to be the best option. First of all, we need to readjust our judicial system, it’s blown so far out of proportion through appeals and such that nothing through that system is efficient. If we were to revamp the judicial system and refit it for optimal efficiency, then justice could be dealt much faster, and cheaper as well. Along with this, as long as we use Capital Punishment sparingly, we should feel the betterment of society quickly as those who are unchangeable in their disastrous ways are removed from society altogether, creating a safer environment in which justice and freedom can flourish.
