first, thank you Lifesaver for my favorite quote about the death penalty and anything else that "eye for an eye" refers to. I am totally and completely against the death penalty for 4 very distinct reasons 1. A lot of the time they kill the wrong person, that isn't justice-it's ludacris and it's usually pinned on african american males who BY FAR have more death sentences than their white counterparts 2. Studies have shown that the death penalty does NOT deter violent crimes 3. Economically it costs more to have someone on Death Row than in prison for life 4. I think it is sick and wrong that people feel good about killing someone else in that you are justified. All you did was the same thing they did, tho supposedly in a more "humane" way (which is BS b/c I would certianly pick being shot and killed instantly than to smell my own burning flesh before I die, or to feel poison slowly kill me. Do you know that they anesthetize prisoners before the lethal injection so that it's easier to witness????)
I am SO GLAD that I live in a state with no Death Penalty!!
