Death penalty = Institutionalized murder
Same function, different name for a barbaric uncivilized behavior.
But consider this little dilemma ( Warning, whats written bellow is quite graphic, and has indeed occurred )
Someone rapes a 5 months old baby countless amounts of times, then proceeds to choke it. The baby does not die, the man frustrated by its resilience, takes a nail and hammers baby's head on the wall.
The man who did this is called Peter Scully. He is currently facing a lifetime in prison.
Should he be executed?
