Steemit Engagement Challenge Season8 Week1: What is the value of life?
Hi steemians,
The death penalty is a matter of great controversy among countries, There are among them that apply the death penalty, and others that reject this punishment.
In this context, the Colombian-Original community organized a competition under the name What is the value of life? , one of the competitions for the first week of Season 8 of the Steemit Engagement Challenge, to see what we think about this kind of punishment. I wish you a useful read.
What do you think of the death penalty, do you agree or disagree? Explain why?
I believe that in cases of intentional homicide, a decision such as execution is a correct decision because it preserves the victim's right first and then and stops all the consequences that threaten the peace of the victim's families or of the criminal, such as seeking revenge on the killer through killers or killing close or distant relatives and even people who are not related to the situation and if families are armed the destruction becomes societal and affects those who are outside the scope of this crime.
Therefore, yes, I am for the death penalty in a similar case, but against the death penalty in political cases until the charges of treason to the state are proven (as if the effect of this treason threatens the existence of the entity as or threatens its continuity) with irrefutable evidence and not suspicions or fabrications for two reasons firstly, in order to avoid any destruction and demolition of the state or society, second, to be an example.
And we have a lesson in the Arab wars, past and present, from which we consider how blood emissions have exhausted and drained generations who would have enjoyed peace if the perpetrator had been applied to him with just punishment, which is the reward for his deed, one or a group of people.
And if we want to adopt life sentences instead of execution, for example, or long prison sentences, then anyone will spend their life in prisons and will exhaust the resources of the state. Isn't this a great waste of the taxes paid by the citizens? Where is the morality in allowing a person to live after killing someone else intentionally and of their own free will?
Is this kind of punishment part of the law in your country? Do you think it should be implemented?
A contemplator in Tunisian law sees that the death penalty is an existing and applicable punishment with many reservations, and this is the crux of the problem. Today we see many heinous crimes spreading in our society that deserve harsh punishments such as death by hanging. On the other hand, we see that this punishment is not adopted and applied effectively.
This punishment has been applied very few times, counting on the fingers of one hand, and unfortunately not because there are no crimes worthy of it.
I see this punishment as a deterrent and appropriate punishment given the heinous and heinous nature of the crimes that are taking place today. We are no longer talking only of robberies and kidnappings, but accompanied by murders, mutilations and tortures.
Do you know of a particular case of the death penalty in your country or in another country? Can you share it?
The subject is known to all Tunisians and followed during the eighties by those who are now over fifty years old, and it was the most exciting topic on the accident pages in the leading newspapers. People in the tribal homeland at the time lived in fear for their young. Al-Damarji killed 13 children, and when he was caught by the police forces, he confessed to all the crimes he had committed, and he was sentenced to death in 1991 and executed in 1993, which is the last death sentence that was carried out in Tunisia. These real facts were embodied in the movie “The Butcher of Nabul.” (Even God will not forgive), highlighting the psychological motives of the butcher.
The killer is the illegitimate son of a prostitute, who gave birth to him in prison, then married a farmer who gave him his name. He studied French in Bourguiba's children's schools. He immigrated to France after getting engaged to his aunt's son, whom he loved, and then returned after that to find his ex-fiancée, who had married and had given birth.. Al-Nasser returned to try to seduce her with the money he had, but she refused, so he killed her young, and continued his pathological obsessions, until he killed fourteen young children after he sexually assaulted them.
He is a mentally ill "pedophile" and an enemy of the society that despised him, and his return from France was to take revenge on society by killing the children he was denied from having. Father is unknown and without offspring. All this is written on the crime pages of the then newspapers.
Thank you very much for reading, it's time to invite my friends @franyeligonzalez, @chiabertrand, @fabiha to participate in this contest.

Hello my friend @Kouba01, thank you for inviting me to take part in this contest! I'm delighted to see this competition encouraging us to think about the value of life. Life is precious, sacred, and cannot be replaced.
In a similar vein, the death penalty is also a matter of controversy; some countries have implemented it while others reject it in certain contexts.
Here in Pakistan and across the globe, we are having discussions about the immense value of life and what role capital punishment should take in our societies. The “What is the Value of Life?” competition is a great way to foster this conversation and contribute towards finding new solutions for these complex issues.
Here, in Colombia, community has actively sought to start a discussion about the issues related to capital punishment with their "What is the Value of Life?" Again Answer is competition.
Let's all make an effort to engage in meaningful conversation on these moral and ethical dilemmas, because ultimately they are the key to tackling global problems.

Hello dear friend, good to see you here, you are always welcome. Like you I agree that this law should be implemented in many countries, especially in those where there is so much violence and evil. Many people do not deserve a second chance and certainly, there are cases of cases, this one you tell us definitely "has no forgiveness, not even from God".
There are many people harming others in the street for pleasure, so the fairest thing is that they are sentenced to the maximum penalty. Thank you very much for your entry, do not forget to always put the source of the images.
Greetings and have a nice day!

Hello, beautiful woman, I thank you for this good evaluation. Indeed, this type of punishment remains a strong deterrent to inhuman crimes, but it is a double-edged sword, as it becomes undesirable in cases where it is used to liquidate political opponents who fight you only with opinion.

Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the controversial topic of the death penalty. It is an issue that has been debated for many years, and it is interesting to hear your perspective on it.
I can understand your reasoning for supporting the death penalty in cases of intentional homicide, as it is a way to preserve the victim's rights and prevent revenge or destruction from the criminal or victim's family. However, I also appreciate your cautious approach towards political cases and the need for irrefutable evidence before implementing such a severe punishment.
It is also insightful to hear about the state of the death penalty in Tunisian law and the reservations surrounding its application. It is concerning to hear about the increase in heinous crimes, but it is important to consider all factors before implementing such a severe punishment.
The case you mentioned about Al-Damarji and the horrific crimes he committed is truly disturbing. It highlights the need for justice for victims and the importance of mental health awareness and treatment.
Overall, I appreciate your thoughtful and informed perspective on this complex issue. Thank you for sharing your insights with us.
Thank you for this wonderful comment that touched on all the aspects that I talked about. Indeed, this issue remains one of the most controversial topics.
