You guys are speaking in abstract concepts here. As in, the abstract concept of the death penalty as an institution, while I am thinking in specifics. Of how these murderers treated their victims and their psychology in terms of how they view other people generally and are repeat offenders that only dole out suffering to their victim's families and their community at large. Or their murders were so egregious and horrible, that they obtained the death penalty as a sentence.
They deserve death.

Perhaps when you can fashion a system which does not kill innocent people, you might make some good sledding. But until then, your points above are simply an appeal to emotion bereft of any sound reasoning supporting your position.
