"I still don't see why murdering murderers is wrong"

Because you are committing the act you are punishing them for. No matter how much you bureaucratize and sterilise it you are still committing murder. A government can not prophess a certain act to be the worst act one can commit, and then punish that act with the same act. It is hypocritical and, well, just plain stupid.

If government and society wants it's citizens to believe that murder is wrong then fair enough, you won't get any objections here. But executing somebody for murder is as ridiculous as a parent who spanks their children for fighting, and tells them that violence is wrong.

Last night I was just watching some movie with Shawn Pen (just caught the end) where he's on death row. at the end he was tied up to this table, he was lifted up on it in front of a bunch of people where he could say some last words, then he was injected by some machine with a crap load of different chemicals. During the movie, his whole execution seemed really horrific and inhumane, but when they flashed back to his murder, it seemed equally horrific and inhumane. I started thinking about Rating: 5
