Do you support the death penalty?

Eh, a more logical stance is actually somewhere in the middle. A rapist and killer of children is beyond redemption no matter the circumstances or their upbringing, would you agree? Or how about a person who poisoned their spouse so they could get money, or burned a building with dozens of people inside on purpose? There are certain crimes that deserve the death penalty.

And you're telling me letting them suck precious air behind bars for life, letting them enjoy food and tv and reading materials, or finding God and painting art, that's a more suitable punishment for their crimes?

Nah, I do agree the death penalty should absolutely be the last resort, but at the same time if the evidence is BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT and innocent people lost their lives, the person who committed them should be stripped of their right to live. It's only fair since they showed no mercy, we shouldn't either.
