re: #54 Drive By Commenter

I would agree that some crimes certainly deserve the death penalty. Saying that, in my years walking this planet I’ve personally come to the personal conclusion that my need for retribution could be used to kill innocents. I just look at one innocent being put to death to justify 100 others who deserve it a price too high. Besides, life in prison for this guy would be a daily waking hell. Everyone would be waiting to get a shot. Everyone. He would basicly be alone for however long he lived.

So, execution by the government is unacceptable but government-sanctioned mob violence and lynching (and possibly prison rape) is okay?
