Only for useless people:
From Wikipedia:
Capital punishment (”doodstraf” in Dutch) in the Netherlands was first abolished in 1870, though only in criminal law, by the Dutch justice minister Van Lilaar. Following the abolition of the death penalty, life imprisonment was made an official punishment in 1878.
Between 1945 and 1952 several war criminals from World War II were sentenced to death by the Bijzonder Gerechtshof.
In military law, however, capital punishment remained a legal option until 1983, when it was explicitly forbidden in the Constitution for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In 1991, all references to the death penalty were removed from Dutch law.
Today the Netherlands operates a clear policy against capital punishment, such as not participating in extradition if the suspect has even the slightest chance of receiving the death penalty
Shocking, but is truly shocking is these people consider themselves an advanced civilization. Protecting murderers from justice and murdering the useless; being anti-Biblical is so sophisticated and intellectual.
Thanks for your post # 17.
Obviously, in the Netherlands, it is better to be a murderer than a useless person.
