I also read a pretty radical idea on the death penalty that I liked. I'll say it's not one I'd ever see being endorsed or practiced in real life, just sort of an idea I thought was interesting.

 

Anyway this guy proposed rather than giving authority to the state to end the life of a citizen, society would be better served if the state simply removed all protections of an individual upon being convicted of death penalty worthy crimes.

 

Basically you molested this child, you've been convicted, you're free to leave this court room but what happens once you leave those doors is beyond our control. You are hereby stripped of all rights as a human in the eyes of the law, they would basically be open game for society to deal with as they saw fit. Hang em from the gallows if you will. 

 

To me that idea seemed much worse than the death penalty, at least with the death penalty we put them down "humanly"
