Could have tried adding in more arguments that also point in the direction of why the death penalty in the Caribbean could perhaps not be there only as a result of colonialism, and other possible reasons for why it still used as a method of punishment there.
In France, Doctor Guillotin opposed the death penalty and campaigned against it all his life. He knew he could not get its end at the time, so he proposed using a device to decapitate the condemned as less brutal than methods being used. He did not have anything to do with the machine now called after him.
Surely the death penalty is still adhered to in many African states ,middle Eastern countries. Etc. Don't you mention this. ?? Your conclusions are hardly objective
Yes but he's specifically discussing Caribbean Commonwealth countries on account of his Caribbean descent and British citizenship. Maybe he should've amended the title of the lecture to make it clear.
It'd hardly a colonial legacy - the former colonial power as he points out no longer uses the death penalty. The commonwealth caribbean countries.are democracies- its up to them
It's definitely a legacy by the very definition of the word.and it's very probably a colonial legacy as capital punishment is strongly associated with colonialism.
When child murderers and serial killers are increasing day by day , such a rhetorical question makes me wonder what is the mentality of people who are asking such question. Public fund is what’s being used to keep the life of such monsters and it’s a huge disservice to the homeless that we fund so much to keep such animals well fed while the innocent people suffer. Rather than trying to redeem the irredeemable and waging wars unnecessary wars it’s better spent on taking care of the homeless and educate the poor. It’s sad that it’s often used less when dealing with true evil.
The Church condemns the death penalty since Francis came to power. That’s enough for me to conclude it’s absolutely evil and impermissible in any and all circumstances. No man has the right to take another man’s life except in a case of extreme defence needs
Why bring colonialism into it, as if capital punishment is the preserve of the British Empire? Yet another place of learning infected with Left-collective revisionism.
@@PeteDetective Colonialism, Imperialism... these are buzz-isms that get the Left terribly excited. It's misleading, to say the least, to suggest that simply because some Commonwealth counties retain the death penalty - a societal punishment of death since time immemorial - that the British Empire is guilty (where have we heard that before)of justifying an imperialistic policy... etc., etc.

What evidence do you have for your assertion?
Crime is lower than it's been since the 70s. Maybe you shouldn't watch so many cop shows!

Because he's specifically discussing Caribbean Commonwealth countries which relate, by definition, to the British Empire.

Shame on you Gresham!
Is this lecture about the actual Law, or was it snuck in as yet another part of Black History Month?
It's about the actual law hence the preponderance of audio and visual references to it.
He blames Homophobic violence
in the Caribbean on the former
colonialists too ??
