Hope for hanging - Opposition changing its position?

Monday, October 3, 2005

In Jamaica opposition seems to be changing its tune and is asking the Government to say how much more time it needs to re-start the hanging of those prisoners on death row.
After a nearly two-decade sabbatical and a history of heated debates, there appears to be hope for the resumption of hanging.
Previously, the opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) resisted the government's proposal to amend the constitution. JLP Secretary General, Karl Samuda, said his party is willing to do whatever it takes to help reduce crime in Jamaica.
However another party official said, the JLP would not support having men on death row for 10 or 15 years. The Government is looking at making the maximum wait time around 7 years. On the island only six persons remain on death row, while the fate of dozens more hang in the balance.

I Agree With That
My perception is that any individual person who is found guilty in a murder crime should be put to death. I don't think it is a great idea to confine a serial killer in our environment, because they are a big problem in our society.

Hope for Hanging
Hanging should definately be resumed in Jamaica. It is a shame that our country is being spoilt by a handful of bad guys.
There are those who will say outrightly that they will kill etc. and go to prison for the rest of their lives. Its like a free vaction to the bad guys. Clearly prison is no threat to them. The majority of us would like to make a positive contribution to the country through investment and otherwise and are afraid to do so. We are even afraid to return to the land of our birth. Its time the government show the bad guys who the real rulers are.

Let them surfer in prison instead
Hanging?....I do not agree with that at all...neither do I agree with the death penalty...What kind of punishment are these people getting when u kill them?..Most of them want to die n e ways so u r just helping them out....Let them serve out their sentence and allow nature to take it's curse..Hanging them will not accomplish n e thing...

DEm fi hang
I'm for the hanging because when Jamaica use to hang murderers, crime wasn't so bad, It was low. But since dem stop, crime rate gone up. Nowadays, death is like nothing to humanity in JA. PPL all a kill for no reason, dat's how bad it is. I'm here in NY and All now mi can't hera nutten good bout JA for the past 6yrs. Through dat mi scared fi go back a mi own yard. If it's not crime is OBEAH. Wha di rass wrong with these animals?

Who should be hang
Everyone is talking about rape and murder,
What about Politicians who steal our money, sell out all Jamaica minerals, an leave the country depending on foreign goods. If they though more about the people of Jamaica an less about themselves we would not have this problem, everyone knows that most crimes are cause because people are poor, Jamaicains dont want to depend on others and sit at home they want to work and make a better life for themselves and there families,.
The government should concern more on find people jobs and less on hanging the few people on deathrow.

jamaica need to start over. we need better police because the police they have are not well train enough. Things are getting out of hand and if they don't think and wok faster, you wouldn't want to know what the next five years would be like.

BABYLON RELEASE THE CURE
No one is saying that rapists and murderers should walk the streets, i wouldn't say that he should b free if i thought he did it. And his song is not about the Incident. I don't think he did it. If you ever heard how this whole thing went down you would be shocked. His own lawyer (who are close friends with the prosecuters) didn't even show up for the case. My dad was murdered and i would never want a criminal to walk free. But HE DIDN'T DO IT!

me no done yet, me still have more
The heart of man has truly become desperately wicked just as the bible predicted, and for those of you using the bible to protect the guilty, you just remember that they used to go as far as putting people to death for being disrespectful to parents let alone murder. And then again a our tax money a use feed dem while dem kick back inna jail (if them stay there that long seeing that everybody breaks out after the first week) your hard earned money a go towards them. Oonu lucky say a work me de cah me coulda go on and on.

string dem up and heng dem up alive!!!!
1st of all, nowadays me see some people in jail a live it up "when shotta go a jail door fly we no peep through rail" me all see man a shoot music video and a launch career inna prison, so dont you try to tell me that incarceration does necessarily mean punishment. And I notice most of you who are against it are living outside of Jamaica and you cant feel the heat unless you in the kitchen. While it is not the most humane way to go about capital punishment but as someone else said, it is a state of emergency and desperate times call for desperate measures. And I heard someone else saying somehting about ruining Jamaica's reputation: What reputation? Jamaica is dubbed as the murder capitol of the world. is this the reputation we're trying to keep? For God's sake we have more people dying in Jamaica than in the war in Iraq.

Capitol Punishment Should Be A MUST
Hanging might not be the most humane why to deliver the death penalty, however IT IS NEEDED IN JAMAICA, yes it will not STOP the crimes in JA but it will certainly reduce it if these people know the consequeces. Just think of your only child 19 years old with a world of potential only to have his/her life taken by another 19 year old over something ridiculous and down right stupid and the only thing he should face is a couple years in an over crowded prison at the expense of you and other citizens TAX dollars. Parents need to take up the resposibility of doing the best they can in the upbringing of there young ones, GOOD PARENTING GOES A FAR WAY

Hanging people!
Is this what our world has come to? Jamaica needs to spend money on building new prisons. Yes, that person may have took a life, but it isn't up to us to decide whether they should be hanged!

Ok! for all u people who are reading this. Just think. your a single mother 2 kids living in jamaica (or any other instance). Your 19 year old son goes out and kills someone. You cant honestly say (honestly!) that you could agree with them hanging him. God is here for a reason.if we're the ones deciding how people, should and shouldn't die. Whats left for God to do? I'm not saying that killing someone is right. But! (yes theres a but) give them the time in jail. Send them in there to think about everything they've done. Trust me, only time tells.


"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear"

Read your bible people n pray don't kill. Jesus loves you n who knows the government might decide to hang you.

Hanging in Jamaica
I agree with hanging all merderers rapist and child molesters, what are u going to give them life sentances, the prisons are all ready over crowded. I think a hanging should be shown on tv so some killing can see the conciquence of killing,and the police that go around killing innocent youth should get life in prison.

Its not our decision!!
Yes, the wages for sin is DEATH!!!! But, however, GOD The Almighty gave us life, and it is for HIM to take away. It is the job of the government officials to punish and repriman law offenders accordingly, but God will pass the "Ultimate Judgement" when and how HE see fits.

STOP THE HANGING
i'm not for hanging, but everything tthats going on in the ghetto's a jamaica is a result off poor government.The peolpe need to be more educated on what going because all it's doing is givening JAMAICA & JAMAICAN'S a bad rap. And the police are no help, if they would take the time to ask questions first before shooting things wouldn't be as bad. The youths are only doing what people around are doing including the police.Before we can stop all the crimes and shooting the people need to be educated. And the police must learn not to shoot everyone. i don't have hate for the police my dad's a cop down there for the past 30 years.They just need to stop and think before they shoot

Hanging Will Not Solve Anything
I agree with the comment above. Education plays a key role. They need to educate the children who will hopefully grow to build up a better Jamaica for tomorrow. Ok, so you hang the murderers and rapists. Without education, the youts have no where else to turn to but a life of crime.

In Regard to Concerned Jamaican
I Don't believe in hanging either but i think people who molest children should be hung because they never change. As you said they are many innocent people locked up but they are all some who needs to be locked up and if i was sentenced to 25 years to life with out every getting out might as well kill me.
because i am going to die in there anyway. In Society of have to get people choices good and bad but if you only have bad choices to make that is what your going to do. Jamaica should give poor people a chance to make right decisions give them education.

reduce crime in Ja
First off if Jamaica don't give poor people education on the only thing they are doing is creating thief and murderes because with out education they have nothing they need to give people free education. So that the next generation can do something positive for Jamaica

i agree with hanging
I believe we should hang murderers and rapist all day long in jamaica, if we do, we will decrease the crime wave we have in our country. Jamaicans have to see that whats going on in our country is a "state of emergency" that has to be addressed. However I also believe that our courts has to be revamped to make sure that justice is afforded to all despite money, class, colour or stages in life.

My Opinion on the article above
(Part III) Hanging will not stop crime anywhere because I don't think that when people decide to kill someone they are thinking to get caught, so the thought of them being hung if they are caught will not stand as a good reason not to kill. As in the words of I Wayne "I love to see my people living in love" not "fighting and swimming in blood" there has to be a better way to reduce and hopefully stop crime in Jamaica and I wish I could say how, but hanging, in my opinion, is stop the solution.

By A concerned Jamaican @

My Opinion on the article above
(Part II) As stated in the article above, "JLP Secretary General, Karl Samuda, said his party is willing to do whatever it takes to help reduce crime in Jamaica" but do you really think hanging of individuals on death row will reduce "crime in Jamaica?" Be realistic, if you have a family member on death row who you believe is innocent and that individual is hung, don't you think that family will try to seek revenge? And if this is so won't the crime continue. I agree that there are many ways to view an idea or situation and here is mine, yours may be different and I am sure someone will agree with me.

My Opinion on the article above
I don't agree with the hanging of our citizens. On average, many of the prisoners behind bars are innocent and killing is killing, whether it is done by civilians or by our law enforcers. We must have laws in our country, I agree and people to see to it that these laws are kept but we must face it that as much as our intensions are good to detain "wrong dowers" in our country, we are going to "mess up" sometimes.
Now, it is not fair for innocent people to be behind bars but we are not going to be 100% sure if these individuals are really as innocent as they say they are, so we can't just get up and kill or "hang" people because we, law upholders, feel that we have the right individual. Hanging a person who is guilty or innocent is not right and killing someone because they have "killed" is not right either. Before any decisions are made think of yourself as that individual on death row and then honestly say that death row prisoners should be hung. (Part I)
