Active shooter in NZ

 I guess that depends on whether you are a victim or a perpetrator.

Certainly a lot cheaper to kill murderers and child rapers rather than  keep them locked  up for 50 years. Pretty sure  the purely pragmatic, economical argument cannot be refuted.

Fortunately,  I live in a society which does not always follow the purely pragmatic. If I wanted to liven a country more like that, I'd move to the US. 

I'm not necessarily concerned with the economic pragmatism of the death penalty, I simply think some criminals deserve death.

'Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.'  - J.R.R. Tolkien
