There has to be a point where society says, NO MORE.
Im just curious, you say you believe in the death penalty for murder, so would you want someone who gets in a car drunk that runs someone down and kills them executed, in my mind that action is just as bad as if someone goes to a shopping mall with a gun shooting it off willy nilly, yet if you kill someone with a car drunk you can be out in just a few years, make no sense to me how its all worked out,

Im confused on the whole subject, on one hand i do think some like child rapist/killers, mass killers should be executed, but then i wouldnt want them to have peace in death, its a never ending subject that i dont think will ever be seen eye to eye on,
this will sound more barbaric than the death penalty but if i were in charge, the victims family would get 30 mins alone time with the killer, if he survives he gets to do LWOP, which in my eyes is worse than death, if he dont survive then oh well.
