I oppose the death penalty in the US for the fact that statistically it has killed innocent men.
Death penalty statistics are also so disproportionate race wise that it also seems to be applied unfairly in the states that do have a death penalty.
If you believe in justice it's only rational to be against the US death penalty as it stands today.
