Commentaries from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The grueling murder of the four-year-old young child caused public anger, and so, the issue of whether or not we should do away with the death penalty got placed on the discussion tables again. The majority population of the public believed, that the suspects should be punished to the worst means, while the politicians may have other considerations. The writer wanted to introduce the readers to the American debate of whether to do away with death penalty.
If the American Federal government didn’t specify the rules, then, the laws were made by the state governments, and put into action separately in different states. Since 1970, the Americans experienced a heightened discussion on the debate of whether to abolish the death penalty, I’ll give you two examples.

First, after the 1972 Presidential Election, the governor of Alabama, Wallace gotten on the ticket as an independent. On May 15th, as he was on the campaign trails in a small town in Maryland, he was wounded by stabbing, Wallace became paralyzed from the waist down, as the news came out, everybody in the U.S. was shocked; but on the same year on August 4th, the trial of the man who’d stabbed him ended, and he’d only gotten a sixty-three years’ sentence in jail, because the legislature of the state of Maryland banned the death penalty, and, back then, members of the public were displeased at the decision of the courts, believed it was, truly, outrageous, that this sort of a criminal gets to escape death.
Another case was the verdict from the U.S. Federal Supreme Courts, most may believe, that the Supreme Court of the U.S. is set up to fight for the lives, that it would be against the death penalty, but it isn’t really so. The Supreme Court in the Karen Ann Quinlan case in 1976 stated: under certain circumstances, it wouldn’t be inhumane, if we gave someone the death penalty. And, this, was the proclamations of the Supreme Court’s conditional support toward the death penalty, and this, was one of the cause of why a lot of the states in the United States hadn’t abolished the death penalty.

In the 2016 version of the “World Manual”, it’d stated, that there are thirty-two states in the U.S. that are FOR the death penalty, and only eighteen states out of fifty are against. The supporter of the former had over 2.4 billion population, which took up over three-quarters of the entire American population; and the eighteen states that were against the death penalty, the population was less than seventy million, which meant, that most Americans are FOR the death penalty, this should be taken into consideration, as we ourselves, decide whether or not we should do away with the death penalty here.
So, this, is comparing to the U.S., and, the only reason why this issue is once again, “up for grabs” is due to the recent brutal murder of that young child, and, yeah, the crimes of these individuals are punishable by death, as they’d murdered one or more people, because they felt like it, and their behaviors were truly evil, but, if we kept them alive, then, they will be tortured, for the rest of the remain of their years, because their separate GUILTY consciences won’t let them rest well at night, which would be more torturous, than DEATH, but then again, the fees of keeping these death row inmates are on the taxpayers’ shoulders, so, which one to choose??? It’s still, very hard to decide here!
