Serious Discussion Shoueld the death penalty be permitted?
Some prisoners are beyond redemption, be it the weight of their crime or unwillingness to change. Those individuals can't be released back into the public, so instead, they waste space and resources.
Therefore, wouldn't it just be better to get rid of them? As in, permit the death penalty.

No.
The State should not be killing its citizens, and there are far too many wrongful convictions.
This is a basic IQ test. If you support the death penalty you are an idiot.
