I think youare letting your emotions get in the way of reason. I'm sure you wouldn't support the death penalty if some twisted fuck didnt kill people you knew.

I would also like to add that sometimes people just dont think about what theyre doing and the people that their crimes affect. Being in the court room with the victim's crying friends and family can often put things into perspective and ensure that what they did would never happen again.
You have to realize that this is a topic that is a question of morals, and I'm talking about personal ones. That is why the answer to this question is there is no wrong belief (well, except perhaps if you think that people should be liberally executed). It seems that in some states the majority of people hold the moral belief that executing someone for a horrendous and violent crime is just and fair, and is a worth punishment. If you really believe that the aforementioned is untrue, why do some states (and the federal government) have the death penalty? Those people feel it is fair and just. If you really dislike the death penalty, I recommend getting involved in politics and fight for your state or perhaps even nationally to end the death penalty. Until that happens, it seems that most of America (or some states, not really sure how many states have one) is happy with the death penalty, just as I am tolerant of your view you must be tolerant of others =).

You are letting your emotions blind you if you really think about it, this is a topic you have to agree to disagree.
