Death Penalty

So what you're trying to say is that we should just leave this people alone and put them in jail? What will that do? It is nearly impossible to change these types of people.

I would like to have some sources based on the conclusion you come up with here, because I myself assume that this is what people think without really knowing what they are talking about. In Norway, we have a 0.78/100 000 ratio on murders, compared to US of America's 5.70 ratio. Yet we do not have a death penalty, and no possibility to stay in prison for more than 18 years at once. Coincidence? Maybe, I have no consistent proof of it being because of death penalty/life sentences/not being able to wear guns in the streets or not, but assuming the culture's affecting the amount of kills, I would assume Canada could be an example on what would happen if US of A permanently removed the death penalty. And it may happen it doesn't affect US of A in the same way, because a lot of factors affects this issue. But we evolved from violent and bloodthirsty Vikings which would kill our neighbour if he did something that affected us negatively, sooo...

Either way, I would feel more safe in a country where I know we don't have to kill people in order to keep murderings at a low rate.

Erik the Red's parents had to flee Norway because of "some killings" as The Saga of Eric the Red recounts. The family settled in western Iceland. The Icelanders later sentenced Erik to a three-year exile for several murders around the year 982. According to The Saga of Eirik the Red, his neighbour Thorgest borrowed a shovel and when it did not come back to Erik, he sought an explanation. When Thorgest refused to return it, Erik stole the shovel back. In the ensuing chase, he killed Thorgest. A second crime laid at Erik's door occurred when he insisted upon revenge for the deaths of his slaves who had "accidentally started a landslide" on Valthjof's farm. Valthjof murderously punished the slaves for this misfortune. Erik did not take kindly to this and so slew Valthjof. The Icelanders eventually convicted Erik of these murders and banished him from Iceland. This event led him and a group of followers to travel to the lands nearly 500 miles west of Iceland.
