Golden Triangle Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Once this news gets around the prison population there are gonna be some rather twitchy rusty sheriffs badges out there, which in a good way is a positive thing, there maybe some really nasty pieces of work now wondering if their time could soon be up. Will they keep the cull going though, that is the question ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kareona Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 There are hundreds of cruel premeditated murders in Thailand every year. All of them get a royal pardon after the capital punishment. Why not this time? That's the question. There are more than 500 prisoners condemned to death in Thai prisons, nearly half because of drug related crimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The countries that still use the death penalty, have the worst crime rates, including the US, which as a huge prison population, the highest per capita of any developed nation. If the state kills it's own people as a means of punishment, that sends a very strong message out to the people, a message that says killing is ok if justified. That trickles down into the consciousness of society, and then you get craziness happening at a more frequent level than in the nations without the death penalty. People who like to see others killed by the state, source their reasoning from revenge, which essentially brings their logic down to the level of the criminal. They should be left to rot in a jail cell for the remainder of their lives I could quite happily agree with that, if YOU paid the bill for keeping him in jail instead of the taxpayer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quad66 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Public executions stopped in the UK because they were public entertainment. People would bring their whole families, some would jostle and perhaps pay for the best view, others got drunk, hecklers would shout out. No doubt hawkers worked the crowd selling snacks and refreshments. It all came to be seen as unseemly and inappropriate for what should be a solemn occasion.The days before tv and internet now they have more variety to watch.

The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and provides no “quick-fixes” to problems the authorities want to confront. “It is high time for the Thai authorities to focus on the much-needed long-term solutions and put human rights at the core.” Gerson said the latest execution was a setback in the country’s journey towards abolition and “puts a dark stain on its human rights record”. Amnesty International should put their nose in other areas where it would be needed, because when one takes the life of another, i.e. stabs an innocent victim 24 times, who dies, then killer should have no "human rights" as the killer should be deemed a wild animal that has to be put down. Placing the killer into a cell for life, is inhuman when you think about it, I mean, what benefit does society get from housing this "killer" by housing and feeding him for the rest of his life, what message doae it send to others, how does the family of the victim feel, sure it won't bring back their loved one, back at least the killers death would provide them with some satisfaction that the law does punish this kind of crime with an eye for an eye sentence. Amnesty International goes on about its high time the Thai authorities focus on much-needed long-term solutions and put human rights at the core, ah...hello, what are they talking about, its high time they put the victims rights at the core, as the Thai authorities did, by executing this killer. Seriously I applaud Thailand for its stance on executing people in this way, providing there is 110% evidence, and when I say 110% evidence, I mean just that, as was the case here where he was caught on CCTV committing the crime. This doesn't put a stain on the country's human rights record, the world want's this, but politicians are soft C's, I mean where are the statistics from Amnesty International that show that the death penalty is not a deterant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would YOU deal with somebody who stabs an innocent person 24 times? Make him wai to the family and pay a 500 baht fine? @billd766 I don't think you read the entire thread. I put forward a case where, in the US, where a police office killed someone committing a felony. It was determined to be a justifiable shooting. However, the accomplice was found guilty of felony murder because someone was killed during the course of felony. This was the edge case. Stabbing someone 24 times is clearly not an edge case... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43673331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 22 hours ago, gazmat said: The timing of this is very strange given Prayuth's European visit starts tomorrow. With the EU stance on the death penalty, he is opening himself up to more scrutiny and criticism than he will likely already face. So, I find it hard to believe that he, or any of his NCPO comrades, would green-light the first execution in years at this point in time. Which begs the question who did and why no advance notification of this policy shift? Also, if it is a one-off for deterrent purposes, why this particular inmate? Or will more 'death row' inmates suffer the same fate from now on? Whilst I agree that the sudden undebated (are any) decision to resume executions will not go unremarked in Europe, I also doubt that this regime will have thought it through that far. Anyway, any criticism will be deflected by "We explained Thailand's special circumstances and they understood", at least internally. That is all they are bothered with. I suspect that a message is being sent. The convict executed was unlucky, wrong place wrong time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
