This bloke who has ‘allegedly’ shot the WPC’s was heading for a death penalty if he hadn’t handed himself in, IMO.

You get eliminated, you get the chair/rope/injection.

Will make people think twice about going on X Factor or Big Brother and will make society better in general.

You might have actually changed my mind on the subject.

Do you think the law would have found him?
Doesn't appear they'd been very successful in locating him prior to this weeks events.

Offences for which the death penalty shuld be introduced, IMO:

- pre-meditated murder
- murder of a police office going about their duties
- paedophilia
- persistent crimininality resulting from Class A drug use (but only after 3 relapses after being given assistance by the State to stop using drugs)

After the shocking events of this week, I think they may well have intensified the search a tad .

So a drug addict who burgled 3 houses should be executed?
Why is a Police Officer's life more valuable than anyone else?

I concur.

If the geezer being presently detained had gone on the run, Greater Manny Police might have drafted a negotiator in?

Isn't all murder premeditated?

Wouldn't that fall under the first category, above?

Yeah, good call. We should also execute alcoholics and the mentally ill.

Yeah, our Justice system is so perfect that no innocents will be wrongly found guilty.
I mean, it's never happened yet has it?

How do you propose to un-hang someone?
Or are innocent deaths worth it?

Your last point about class A drugs, in which you fail to mention what degree of ciminality would count towards the three-counts-and-you're-literally-dead, is an absolute sparkler of an unthought-out knee-jerk.

You are always banging on about morality and suchlike, yet killing people seems to be OK by you.
