And who, pray tell, is learning that lesson?
It's revenge, not a lesson.
I never said it was a lesson. It's that state's law, the penalty for murder.

Do you think rapists should get government sanctioned rape though?
If we say "a life for a life," I don't see the reason for this logic not to extend to anything else.
