Za neke zločine je smrtna kazna jedino prikladna. Da se sve kazne pomjere za jednu stepenicu prema težim, puno bi manje kriminala bilo na ulicama. Danas puca ko na koga stigne.
Inače to da nešto prakticira ili ne prakticira u Evropi meni apsolutno ne znači ništa. Upravo sam gledao za šta je predviđena smrtna kazna u Singapuru, zemlja koja ima jedan od najvećih Human Development Index-a na svijetu:
