Wow, we should treat murderers humanely, when they didn't extend their victims the same courtesy?

I'm with Cavedweller. The monsters deprived their victims of everything, and the victim's friends and family of someone they love. They were the ones who threw the ethics out the window, and prison is far more desirable than death.

The death penalty is not about showing kindness to murderers. It's about the principle of taking a human life, regardless of the circumstances. When we execute someone, we're essentially saying that we have the moral authority to decide who lives and who dies. What if we make a mistake? What if an innocent person is wrongly convicted and executed? Perhaps we should focus on supporting those affected by crime and improving our justice system to prevent such acts in the first place.
