Death penalty for hacking

Post Reply New Topic

I think hackers (black-hat hackers only, those malicious hackers) should recieve death penalty and/or corporal punishment.

They are not worthy humans. They are evil beasts who should not be treated like humans or animals, but only be treated as what they are: Scumbags!

Why on earth should a hacker who, out of their own free will chose to take control over an innocent persons PC recieve "fair treatment" when they are unfair? They chose to be unfair. They chose to be evil!

Crushing their bones till they die will be the method I prefer to a hacker!
A hacker is not a human being. A hacker is a FORMER human being, who degenerated himself into a beast!

blahblah

I do not agree with the death penalty. I think life in prison or solitary confinement are sufficient. For most people I think it would be worse than just getting it over with.

Depends on the case. It should vary from probation for minor crimes to life in prison if the action leads to injury or death. If the goal was to kill then the death penalty is in order.

I use the word treason in a purely constitutional context. It is true that for all practical purposes, Washington and Jefferson were traitors to the British crown. However, that does not mean that I must not object to treason against the United States, or not support (potentially) the strongest available punishment for such an act.

Isnt killing murderers a bit hypocritical? I know you'd love to, but they probably "loved" killing, too - You just have a legal "loophole" because they did it first.

Death penalty for hacking? Yikes

I support reforms in regards to Death Penalty cases. I think we need to recognize their is no such thing as a perfect system (unfortunately) so in such cases every measure must be taken by the prosecution (DNA, ect...) to insure they don't screw it up. The possibility of an innocent being executed is by far, the most difficult issue in supporting capital punishment for me. I will tell you something else, recent highly publicized prosecutions have not improved by confidence in the legal system

One thing I head on the Dennis Prager radio program that I agreed with: Death penalty supporters should acknowledge the deaths of executed innocents as if their position becomes policy. Death penalty opponents should acknowledge the same (via those killed in prison, on parole, after release).

Maybe I am not seeing it right, but in my eyes, punitive measures against criminals is about preventing it happening again, not revenge or anything. That it is punishment is secondary to the fact that they are removed, at least temporarily from the enviroment where they caused harm.
