Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I've always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.

But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.

Which if even more disturbing.

So what do you think?

Our justice system isn't reliable enough to kill people as punishment. Plus life in prison is probably a worse punishment if that's your goal.
