COLT MAGNUM 45 SILENCE G.Jacobsson/R.Reimann,Sweden 1982 Solamente mi dios puede templar el arma que me otorgue el placer de la muerte. Solamente el dios de los hombres exige la inmolacion. Solamente los hombres ejecutan. Hemos hecho que la vida sea mas cobarde que morir. ... Asi que, desesperadamente, puedo tapar mi cabeza con el capuchon del verdugo... |
THE DEATH PENALTY.LA PENA DE MUERTE The last on the list of my five verbs is 'avenge'. Here the death penalty is uniquely effective. If a man has taken life, the most effective, obvious and satisfying form of vengeance is to take his life. I have no argument against that. I think it is true that if one accepts vengeance as a purpose proper for the State in its handling of convicted criminais, then the death penaltv should stay for convicted murderers. For myself-and it is only a personal matter-I utteriy reject the idea that vengeance is a proper motive for the State in dealing with convicted criminais; and 1 hope that, ftom the date of the publication of this pamphiet onwards, those who wish to retain the death penalty wili admit that its only merit is precisely that of vengeance. LORD KENNET From a Speech in the House of Lords, November 9th, 1961
