I would still be rather upset if you were murdered
Yeah, probably the most obvious response I predicted when typing that answer, and the fact that even Shep eschewed it should concern you

There are other differences between UK and USA, which MAY have an impact on the number killed eg firearms culture. Also, are the quoted figures comparable, ie taking into account the various "grades" of killings (eg manslaughter, murder, etc).
For what it is worth, I am not in favour of the death penalty.

Free up space in the prisons, save money and rid the world of some scum.
Win, win if you ask me bring it back.
If in highly the unlikely occurrence a family member or friend of a murder victim finds a little comfort in said execution then who are we to judge, oh hang on a minute, it'll be you lefties.

I don't follow your logic, but, not to worry.

That is why I said "on the face of it", because there will be a raft of sociological factors at play.
However, everybody has access to a murder weapon, and besides, I was quoting the figures in relation to the death penalty being a deterrent. I wasn't commenting on whether carrying out a murder was more convenient or easier in the US. In general, trying to unpick the statistics is a bit beyond the scope of me on a cycling forum.

Don't worry, it's not worth pursuing. It was a lame joke from you, followed by a lamer joke from me

When you look at the legal costs involved, it isnt a money-saving option.
Nobody did.
And the righties. CP policy is anti death penalty

Wrong. In the USA appeals against a death sentence last as much as 20 years, so people still need to be housed in prison.
Wrong. Lifetime incarceration is a lot cheaper than implementing the death penalty. Some basic searching will show you that, if you care to undertake any.
As long as you’re content to rid the world of a few innocent people too. Are you?
