I'm against it. When a family member, friend, or others hear that someone has passed on they obviously are very upset. Well I guess the same thing goes for the 'killer'. When we kill him we, we don't realize what we are doing to the family and friends ect, its not their fault he did something stupid.

I also think that by killing the person we are lowering our selves to his level.
I'm just curious. So for other crimes like rape, assult, etc do you think that a person shouldn't go to jail because it might affect his family? Does he not have to pay for something that he did and take responsibility for his actions? How would we be lowering ourselves to his level if we are punishing him? So for the family of the murdered they have to just know that their family/friend's killer is just sitting in jail, really not paying for what he did? I hope I don't sound upset, I am not, just trying to see where you are coming from.
