Shit, for some people, I'll offer to do the job myself.
Talk is cheap.
It's one thing to fantasize about violent deaths of people you hate (although that's probably not healthy either, come to think of it) - it's another to personally put to death a defenseless human being - however guilty they may be. Very few people can do the latter without serious psychological repercussions. Those that can are mostly psychopaths and they get off on it.
I'm against death penalty on principle. Institutionalized murder is something, I believe, civilized societies can do without.
