"Eye for an Eye..."

Someone mentioned previously that by executing a murderer you're also hurting their family and friends. By killing someone, that person just hurt the victim's family and his own, not the judicial system. Someone also said that capitol punishment isn't a very effective detterent. It would be if it was carried out more often and with harsher methods besides a needle in the arm and a nice loooong nap. People know they can get away with murder and they'll just sit in jail and not have to worry about taking care of themselves because the tax payers are paying for everthing and they'll just appeal their case until they die of old age. Criminals have more rights than their victims these days and that's not fair.

I agree with YellowLabLover, if you kill someone, you should have to endure the same pain and manner of death as your victim.

"Eye for an Eye..." Straight from God's mouth.
