brewsterbudgen Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thailand last carried out a lethal injection in 2009 when two Thai drug traffickers were executed. Hopefully it will remain the last time.Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but abolishing the death penalty is one step closer and if the civil libertarians have there way it's only a matter of time. We never gave them ice cream in the past and we used to have the death penalty. But now the criminal has more rites than the victims and there families. The pedophiles are in protective custody.

Well it should be a death penalty for pedophiles . And like I said abolishing the death penalty as we have is just a stepping stone toward the piss weak penalty system we have. So if they want to follow our steps go ahead it will only be a matter of time before the prisoners here are getting treated better than there victims.

Somethings in this life are unforgivable. Street murder of Lee Rigby for instance. Attempted mass murder. Child rape and mutilation, etc. If that upsets the lefty PC brigade on here I really do not give a damn. Sorry , but the ultima ratio of a judicial sentence would only be socially acceptableable for horrendous crimes [that need to be defined democratically] and under the strict condition that there is 1000% flawless technical and judicial proof that the culprit is guilty.... no margin of error or doubt can be acceptable on the case leading to the death penalty....judicial errors have occured in the highly advanced USA, on the death row....does Thailand have the judicial and technical means to provide flawless proof of guilt for a death sentence ?

The USA are far from being highly advanced when it comes to honesty and intelligence in the justice system. I agree that proof for death sentences should theoretically by flawless - yet think about it - shouldn't a conviction beyond doubt also be required for locking someone up for life ?? something doesn't compute here. My final point would be that Western society is gradually moving away from a "statistical" management of society towards a management that I would call "individually idealistic". A perfect world that can be summarized with "bleeding heart society", pushed forward by people who mostly have never been confronted with the full and depressing stupidity of masses. One can easily see where principles such as "there is no price for a life" can lead society when for example applied to healthcare systems. From my point of view, there should be a technical qualification for a death sentence, for example that the crime needs to be flawlessly proven only by forensic proof and other solid material facts, but not relying on witness statements.

A good point regarding flawlessness regarding life detention...allow me to sheepishly try to "bail" out in considering that an inmate getting life may be eligible for parole at some point and could thus regain somewhat of a normal path?...but that would arise further debate on the unconditional efficiency of rehab in detention. But your comment is fully pertinent. Nevertheless, I assume that we do agree on the fact a case must bear irrefutable support before it leads to the ultimate sentence.

Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Why have you dragged up sharia law that applies to trivial offences. And is oppressive toward women. Do you even know about sharia law. A woman who is raped must have 4 male witnesses or is convicted of adultery. A man can marry a 9yo. If a man rapes a women it is ok if he marries her. Grow up.

Chip Allen Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 An extremely bad move. As long as Thailand insists upon brutal and immoral prison conditions. the death penalty is a blessing for those who find themselves incarcerated in this medieval country. When Thailand has prison conditions on par with Sweden and Switzerland, we can talk about eliminating the death penalty. Until that time, it is an escape from a kind of misery that Asia has not imposed on foreigners since World War 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
