yes they do act unethically but the question if we should or not accept death penalty? Please take a look at the article on the following link http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/ here is the number of states in the USA that have and do not death penalty Side: For

I think the punishment should fit the crime. I think if you killed someone, you get killed. Rape someone? Take it up the ass from a guy named Sully. Beat someone up? Get beat up. Steal a few bucks? Have your piggy bank stolen. Hit and run? $3000 in car repairs for you! Of course...this is just my fantasy...it would never hold up in court or in society. I do, however, agree with the death penalty in some cases of murder and rape. Side: For

Think of thousands and thousands of people who were killed during the wars and who are killed on daily basis for different reasons. Do they deserve it? think of small children and innocent babies, what did they do to deserve to be killed and not have a chance to live the life that was given to them by GOD? Side: Against

I see your point, but honestly in the judicial system, we need to put aside sentimentality and personal vendettas. Sure, if someone kills my sister vs. someone killing an absolute stranger, I'm going to be very angry and very deeply hurt by it than if he had killed a random stranger. But in a court of law, it doesn't matter. Everybody means something to somebody somewhere; that doesn't mean we can jack up a killer's punishment. Side: For
Karisha you do say that they should be punished. But doesn't it mean that death penalty can be avoided? Yes, there is a possibility to punish these people by putting them in jail for lifetime. They will have time ti think of what they have done and there are people who did kill people accidentally and they do regret and some of them end their life by suicide. Side: For
