Unit 1012 knows that many abolitionists
love to use Mahatma Gandhi’s misattributed quote, “An eye for an eye makes the
whole world go blind.” to ask for the death penalty to be abolished. We would
like to write a rebuttal essay to that.
Someone did wrote an
opinion letter in Arab News, in favor of the death penalty:
Here in Saudi Arabia, a serial child rapist is on trial for allegedly raping 13 young female students. The DNA test has proved his crime and all other agencies are expeditiously activated to prove the guilt of the rapist teacher.Those who often quote Mahatma Gandhi's observation that “an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind” must tell us where it will lead us if such criminals are left unpunished?Beheading murderers and rapists publicly serves as a deterrent to would-be criminals, whatever may be the arguments of the human rights activists against the capital punishment.
Spot on! If the ACLU demons who
consistently fight the death sentences of evildoers and also end LWOP, follow
that quote. It will lead us to a land fit for criminals. It will terminate the
population in the country.
For those people who think that
using that quote to end capital punishment is right, they should be consistent.
Here are several examples.
They should go and tell the Mexican
Justice System (where they have no death penalty and LWOP) to free all
Kidnappers from prison because ‘an eye for an eye makes the whole world go
blind.’
A robber can tell the courts that he
should not pay fines for his crime because the country can go blind due to eye
for eye.
The CIA should tell Seal Team Six
not assassinate Osama Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda as it is eye for eye making
the world go blind.
To use Gandhi’s quote is asking for
chaos in the world where evil will triumph over good. Instead of using that
quote, Unit 1012 prefers Adam Smith’s words:
