death penalty or not
by Sean Fernandes on Nov 14, 2005 08:50 PM

Death penalty or not. this is quiet a debatable question, according to the relatives of people killed in the blast most of them would agree that abu salem deserves a death punishment.but i personally feel a death penalty is not a solution to the issue. it is not the criminal that we have to eliminate but the root cause of crime. one may well say crime can be eliminated by elimiating criminals but this is not true.Convicting criminals and sentencing them to death will only instigate the criminals to commit more crimes. i think there is a need to study the mind of these criminals. in case of abu salem, a psychiatrist should be appointed for him. why did he supply arms and ammunitions? was the amount of money so huge that he could not understand that there are innocent people who are going to be killed.hurtle questions that would divuldge information from him. a criminal study should be done on him
