REBUTTAL: Death Penalty Con side

                          My opponents say that the death penalty will strengthen the economy and sets an example for the rest of the world. Instead of keeping criminals in jails for long periods of time, they should be executed in order to save America and its citizens money. Even though taxpayers pay for criminals to live in a prison, and cause problems for them, taxpayers are doing some good for the world. Taxpayers are not only paying for prisoners’ accommodations, but also their life. By saying that it is a waste of money to keep prisoners, my opponents are also saying that there is a money value on their life. A life is a life, and there are people that feel remorse when the stated “legally murders” them.
                          “With the death penalty the money left over can be used for education and other programs that are in debt. Some may argue that the death penalty is expensive, but a lethal injection isn’t the only way to serve justice, methods such as hanging or electrocution will do just fine.This may sound scary, but once the body scents the reality of death it goes numb so the criminal won't feel a thing, said by Time. But that wouldn’t matter since most feel no remorse anyway. Also, if the death penalty gets veto keeping inmates who commit unspeakable crimes in jail will destroy the economy. Gradually in time, crimes will come to a minimum and there will be no reason to have the death penalty.”
                              During the debate during class, my opponent stated that the death penalty is cheap, “Death penalty only costs two dollars.”
                             Hanging people may sound like an easy process, but in truth, it is not. When someone is hung, the organs in their body go toward their feet and their bones in their arms and legs also slide down toward the floor. The person being hung doesn’t stop feeling pain until their body weight pulls so hard on their neck that is snaps and at this point the body goes numb and the person drowns in their blood. “It may sound scary” is an under statment!
