For those of you who support the death penalty, what is your consideration on the emotional trauma which executions causes strangers. Consider the case of children who have hung themselves after an execution:

Or, for that matter, death penalty protesters who sob and wail outside of the death house, a common occurrence? Are the deaths of these little children and the emotional scars upon complete strangers necessary? What purpose do executions serve, given the fact that murder is one of the lowest recidivist crimes?
