A SERIOUS DISCUSSION ON DEATH PENALTY

*************************************************

S :When all the world is desperately trying to save each and every single human life, four men are going to gallows tomorrow. At least their execution must be postponed, if not commuted, considering the panic around the world. 

Its ironical that government machinery work day in and out to save human life during this time of corona and the same machinery work hard to take human life. The heinous crime they committed demands severe punishments, though not death.

C : If you were Nirbhay's father ........;If Nirbhaya were your daughter .......;.If your daughter were Nirbhaya ............... we spectators

M: YES( to C)

G :(to C )that's not the only thing-what if your brother was the criminal;your son was the criminal. 

The one who actually made the worst attack which led to her death for Scot free as he is juvenile.

These were criminals and should be punished but death penalty for these while the main culprit goes Scot free. I am not sure.

C : (The) Juvenile must be given the same punishment.We do demand that modification in penal      code.His privilege should not be  other culprits' blessing

S:(on C's first statement )This is an emotional reaction... but my point is the irony in governments preparedness to save lives and take lives..... emotionally, I may agree with capital punishment, but justifying a crime with another crime can never be a solution.

M :Punishment cannot be termed as crime.

S :It is, Madam.

M2:( SMILING )You don't want to Kill Corona virus ?

S: ( SMILES TOO )

C:Punishment is given to the criminals not to the innocents.So it is never a crime.....

S:I am not against punishments.. But capital punishment..

C:Where it is needed, it must be ......

M:This has nothing to do with the crime these criminals had so heinously committed.

S:Yes.. But our judiciary bends its nerves before the rich and powerful people. (The)

Unnav MLA gets only a life term for rape and murder of many.

J:Did those criminals  listen to her pleas, when she was writhing in pain?did they stop assaulting her?if the answer is no,they deserve no sympathy.

S:I do agree.. The crime demands severe punishments. But death penalty is a big issue.

M: (To J )  I agree wholeheartedly

      (To S)  Only in India!!!

S2: They should be hanged as early as possible.

C : (The ) MLA must be given the same ..... Unfortunately..... Any how (the )MLA's luck should not be  a blessing to other culprits . Let's pray for their souls .Good night

J : How many times they approached the apex court for mercy.Do they know the meaning of mercy?

M: They have made a mockery of the judiciary for long, enough is enough.

S3: Their humanity had already died. So it is meaningless to continue with a rotten soul in the mortal body. Needless to empathise with them.

As the name NIRBHAYA suggests, she was a fearless girl. 

I : (Appluads  J on her first statement)

S3:But those fearless (fearless of punishment) anthropophagists took her vicinity and mauled her into pieces. Such  fearless girls should be able to walk on this bountiful Earth in future too. It would be then only would Nirbhaya's soul get realization.

S4:Death penalty to the brutal murderers is also an effort of the govt. to save the lives and pride of millions ..

G (from USA): This was more  because the media celebrated the case.

 Same thing happened to Harvey Weinstein case. He got 23 years. Normally, a person should have got 6 years for that. But again, media celebrated it.

 ( TO S3 )This is Utopia - which is never the case in real life. The nature is not politically correct.

S: ( TO G ) TRUE.
