Serial Killers for example.
But are you in favour of the death penalty?
Yes. I am. Sorry for not making that clear. Although I do acknowledge that other parties have made it difficult to get the drugs necessary for lethal injection and that doctors refuse to administer it anymore. If only we could just shove people into a room of nitrogen and have them die that way, that'd be ideal I think. I hear it's painless.

The state killing someone is a very final end and something I am not comfortable with.
The sad truth is though that we do an abysmal job of rehabilitating here in the good old U S of A.
