Sounds a little Anti - American to me, but I'll comment on it anyway without paying attention to that detail.
Capital Punishment exists as a deterent. Yes, Two wrongs do not make a right, however, There must be a suitable punishment to keep others from just deciding to do as they please.
I personally do not like capital punishment, I seem to feel more for the family of the ones who committed the crime, rather than the one being executed though. The one being executed probably deserved it. The Mother, Father, etc of the person are being punished as well, and thats what hurts me.
Despite what others may think about Americans in general, I have not met a person born in my country yet that agrees with everything our government does. We all disagree about a great many things amongst each other, just as some of us on this forum that are from different Countries disagree. Now, doesn't that make us more alike than we would like to think??
The only thing important here is that the deliberate premeditated taking of a life is WRONG. NO mitigating Circumstances
