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?
That execution was televised, which hopefully would never happen in this country, and what the hell kind of parents let their children watch a live execution?! You can hardly blame capital punishment for these tragic deaths...
Only the kind of parents who raise their children in countries where capital punsishment is accepted without controversy.
Did you really miss the coverage of Saddam Hussein's public execution? We really are on a slippery slope here!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
