Wow! It’s a first for China, but I’m still shocked at the idea. For a brief rundown of the situation, a 30-year-old man, driving without a license, sped through one of the busiest provinces in China. During his time behind the wheel, he managed to hit four cars, killing four people and seriously injuring another. He endangered public safety, yes, but should he be sentenced to death for it?
This may not surprise some people though, as China has a reputation for imposing capital punishment. Amnesty International published statistics that noted that China put over 1,700 people to death last year. If you don’t think that’s a lot, then you should know that last year, the United States imposed the death penalty on 37 individuals.
Regardless of your feelings on capital punishment, it remains a global issue.
