There is an ongoing debate about life without parole as an effective alternative for the death penalty. The Antis claim again and again that well... life without parole can indeed ensure public safety by keeping dangerous murderers behind bars. The Pros of course disagree claiming that those who were sentenced to life without parole eventually were released and afterwards killed again.
As I viewed some documentary films on youtube about serial killers I got to watch that one about a very despicable killer named Kenneth McDuff. That Dude had previously murdered three teenagers whom he abducted from their vehicle. One of the victims was a girl whom he raped before he killed her with a brum stick, what made he known as the broom stick killer. He was sentenced to death, earned two stays before his death sentence was commuted to life without parole in 1972. In 1989 the board of pardons and paroles had ordered his release because of over crowded prisons. Shortly after his release, from 1991 he started murdering again four other women who he raped until he was re arrested, indicted and sentenced to death for the second time. in 1998 he was eventually executed for good.
Since his case, the rules upon offenders were toughened and it was clear that life without parole can never be sufficient prevent further murders. Only the final annihilation of the perp can ensure public safety.

Anti's cannnot honestly say LWOP means they do not or will not murder again , that would be a complete falsehood.

Exactly! The case of McDuff is a conclusive proof that the only way to prevent more murder incidents is by inflicting the death penalty upon those who deserve it. Life without parole is no alternative for the death penalty.

Life w/o parole is not enough Countries/states w/o the DP are giving an unimaginable advantage to the criminal over the victim/victims. ( past/present/future) victims murdered by one individual with opportunity to continue to commit murders, inside the walls, by escape., or release from.
Outcome they have .: Advantage of life over death

No, LWOP does not prevent further murders. If it did then I would be opposed to executions.

Obviously not, thought I would like to have the DP as a fall back if they kill in prison after being sentenced to LWOP. They have nothing to lose, so if you kill in prison at the very least, you should execute the scumbag. I never got giving someone multiple life sentences, since you only have one life to life. If you kill in prison after getting LWOP, warm up the lethal injection machine.
