I understand that US justice system is completely biased against minorities (Mainly blacks) but i can't completely come to terms with total abolition of death penalty as expressed by many here on HN. Here are few incidents where i think death penalty can be justified (examples are from Norway which has abolished death penalty & India where it is very rarely carried out - only 5 from 1995)

- alextgordon 11y agoIt's interesting that you give the example of Breivik. Don't you think that a far-right nutcase like him would relish the reinstatement of the death penalty?
- yrro 11y agoA reformed Breivik, once released, would be able to do some good by working against his former cause, speaking to prevent others from following down the path that he took.
