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.

I don't get off on this.  When I was young, this country was a very different place.  People didn't lock their doors.  We all looked after one another.  We all cared.  When you committed a crime, the law got ya and you did hard time.  That way, you thought twice about committing a crime.  We still had the death penalty then.

Then society went all PC.  We got rid of the death penalty.  Crime went through the roof and penalties appeared to do the reverse.

What do we have now?

Can't go out at night.

How is this a forward step?

Gotcha.

In order to stop people killing, the deterrent has to be there.
Guys

It's fine you wanna beat up on me for my views. I expressed my views. Fine. No issue.

What about your murderer who you locked up and didn't execute who then escaped and murdered some poor innocent. What about his right to life?

You all seem to have ignored that issue.

How bloody convenient.
If you are not nice to me, I WILL mention you in my suicide note.
