that might very be true, I think in some extreme cases, it might be justifiable to ahve the death penalty.

but that argument isn't effective to support the death penalty. It's not murderers who are packing up the prisons, it's the guys who get arrested for selling or smoking weed and other such kind of 'criminals'. Killing all the murderers won't even come close to solving that problem.
