Blue, if you read the conversation, Magbalantay was not saying that he would administer justice, but his answer was in response to Isles' question of: if your relatives/loved ones were convicted and proven guilty of murder, would you still support the death penalty?
Magbalantay, unmoved and showing no partiality to his friends and relatives convicted of murder
(mind you this is a hypothetical situation) supports the death penalty.
Not that he was the one administering justice; he would support the Law's administration of justice. Again, the tone of his answer reiterates the Old French Revolutionary notion of the Supremacy of the Law & Justice.
Phew..whoa Bran² have to read the previous posts..i standstill corrected-bow.
Well, to focus the line "self-administered justice" when im talking 'bout Charles Bronson film..he was the one who punished the killer of his family (so far so good as my memory,me dictates ) jehehe
As regards to ds thread we are discussing in here...sorry to disagree
"No to Death Penalty"
and...here are my reason as follows:
-Thou shalt not kill..known as one of the ten commandments...are we allowed to erase one ?-(religious aspect)
-Supremacy of Law & Justice? oh je..doncha know that theres a Supreme of all the supremes,theres one Judge of all the judges?
-It´s very difficult to decide whether somebody should live or die. Judges are not always competent or independent. (sowe)
So it could happen that innocent people are executed. The death penalty is an irreversible punishment.
Once carried out it can never be corrected.
-What about Life imprisonement ? It has the same effect.
They would spend their whole life there so it would be a moral or emotional punishment.
They would have to suffer from their guilty conscience.
Sometimes it happens that murderers become religious in this time.
The modern view is that criminals should improve during their time in prison.
- Life imprisonment is more expensive than executions (as to financial statistic)
but costs shouldn´t really matter when it comes to issue of life and death.
- I think that the death penalty is not always fair.
The kind of punishment is often determined not only by the nature of the crime
but also by the social and ethnic background,
the financial means or the political opinion of the defendant.
Friends and relatives of the victims often want to take revenge on the murderer. They probably wish for the death of the culprit.
- Sometimes people have been imprisoned for ten years and after this time it was found out that they were not guilty.
It was a mistake.
What if,it was a death penalty? unZaon man kobkobon sa lungon pakabuhion pag-Uzob? awooh..!
And to you my dear Bran²..you learn medicine @ present..am pretty sure for the main purpose to save life or to find ways for a matter of "prolong ones life", to maintain what GoD has given to mankind "Live on earth" and be ready when the Lord comes.
Ach soo, you are in favor of death penalty? Whatta irony..! tsk³
